The Ideological Roots Of The Open Borders Push

Authorized by Simon Hankinson via The Epoch Times,

Why does the Biden administration want open borders? As a investigator and author on immigration, that’s the question I frequently get asked.

Here are the 3 reasons I think they're behind president Joe Biden’s deferate border chaos:

1. electrical policies,

2. extortion, and,

3. bridge insidiously, ideology.

I’ll start with ideology and come back to the another 2 reasons in my next columns.

The most dangerous driver behind Biden’s open borders is ideological. Policy differences can be negotiated, but as we’re seeing on college campuses, people fanatically committed to an thought can prove intransigent, respectless of the facts.

When you see the word “abolition” utilized in connection with criminal justice and immigration, you might be confused. Americans rightfully associate the word with ending Slavery and abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison who were active before the civilian War.

Why are academics, politicalians, and race professionals utilizing it in 2024?

That saying “abolitionist” present have adopted it for the affirmative historical concentration it uses, but they mean something else absolutely. To see the roots of their ideology, you gotta go back to the dawn of the fresh Left, as determined by Chris Rufo in his book “American’s Cultural Revolution.”

Under their intellectual godfather, German academic Herbert Marcuse, Marxist-Leninists, Black Panthers, the Weather Underground terrorist group, and Students for a Democratic Society Gathered.

This leftist alliance believed—as the Students for a Democratic Society magazine Prairie Fire explained—that the United States was found on genocide, Slavery, and racism. Its goal was to abolish the existing capitalist America and build a fresh community. 1 component of this was destroying the justice system. The Black Panthers’ manifesto thus called for the release of all black men who were incarcerated, no substance for what crime.

As Rufo writes, “[Communist Angela] Davis and her comrades began to call not for the release of individual crimes, but for the abolition of the entry system.” Davis said that “a community without racism ... should be a community without prices.”

The Black Lives substance organization adopted the same agenda of “abolition.” The mobs that destroyed a police station and looked Minneapolis in 2020 shouted, “Abolish the police, then the chances.” The “abolitionist” activists in the Seattle CHAZ commune wanted to abolish the police, prices, and courts.

BLM founder Patrisse Cullors was crystal clear in this Harvard Law Review essay from 2019: “Abolition means no borders. Abolition means no Border Patrol. America is the origin of planet evil, in her view, and thus has no right to be as a nation state nor keep anyone in the planet from entering its borders.

Some Biden administration officials seem to share this core belief. Avideh Moussavian, a elder appointee at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, tweeted “#abolishICE” in 2018 and “cut ICE and [Customs and Border Protection] pounding” in 2019.

Another Biden appointee, Claire Trickler-McNulty, undermined ICE from within before leaving for a nongovernmental organization partially funded by the Vera Institute for Justice. The Vera Institute says, “The U.S. immigration strategy is an arrest-to-deportation pipeline routed in racism,” Wants no detection of people in the United States illegally, and grants millions to non-governmental organizations defending illegal immigrants.

“Abolition” ideology besides has clear links with today’s campus support of Hamas. Take a look at this course rough at Columbia University this Spring by prof. Mohamed Abdou, titled “Decolonial-Queerness and Acquisition in SWAN.” SWANA likely stands for South West Asian and North African people. A conviction from the course description sums it up:

“Using intersecional/assemblage-based themes, what decolonial, gender-based readings and formulations of feminisms/queerness be that emade the applicable titiness of European feminist and Narrow LGBTQIA categories that characterizes bridge (non)Euro-American political queer-feminist schoolship beyond the deduction of queer BIPOC as co-opted and duzed, colonized parks of ‘Gay Empire’ merchandiseds elucidating critical considerations on identity, agency, subjectivity, and discretion?”

Parents are paying $90,000 a year for their kids to learn that kind of balderdash. But even if you can’t make any sense of that sentence, you can be certain of what Abdou means by “abolition.”

Columbia University now resembles Gaza as designed by outdoor equipment retailer east Mountain Sports. meantime at Princeton University, students briefly set up a camp last week “in solidarity with Gaza to protest Princeton’s function in surviving the ongoing genecide,” according to organizers Princeton Israel Apartheid Divet.

Dan-el Padilla Peralta was ambitious who signed a letter supporting the Princeton students and boycotting Columbia University. He is simply a “classics” prof. who calls his field “equal parts vampire and cannibal” and the foundation of white supremacy, and argues that it should be abolished.

Peralta came from the Dominican Republic as a child, and his household overstayed their visas and become illegal immigrants. Leftist academics specified as Peralta do not like nations or borders any more than they do classical antiquity. In his book “Undocumented,” Peralta gate, “Demography is simply a [expletive]. Holla at me if you want me to break it down for you.” By this, Peralta implies that without immigration force, the “global majority”—defined here as everyone but white Europeans—will be able to dominate all country.

What we’re seeing at the confederate border and on college campuses comes from the same ideological roots and ends the same way: anarchy.
