Five weeks post-Election Day, The New York Times has finally surfaced with an explainer that touches on one of the most pressing concerns for voters: the surge of illegal immigration under the Biden administration. It’s like waiting for a slow train to arrive before you realize it’s been derailed – if they had the foresight to look at this issue earlier, they might have saved themselves some embarrassment.
According to the editorial gurus over at the Times, many voters are alarmed by the influx of individuals crossing the border without proper documentation. Well, who could possibly be surprised? When the administration basically rolls out the welcome mat at the border with a side of free health care, it’s no wonder folks are raising their eyebrows and possibly moving out of high-crime areas. The data floodgates have opened, and what do the pearls of wisdom at the Times suggest? Perhaps it’s time to look at solutions instead of merely analyzing the problem.
To the Times, the situation appears so grave that they feel the need to break it down for their readers like a teacher explaining multiplication tables to kindergartners. It’s a classic case of ignoring the elephant in the room – or rather, the thousands of elephants stampeding across the southern border. Desperate for a solution, the article seems to trot out a few ideas, but it’s hard not to chuckle at how they grind course planning into the dust without ever mentioning the word “border security.”

The national discourse has shifted as the consequences of such policies materialize into daily headlines. Increased crime rates in major cities, overwhelmed social services, and local communities crying out for help paint a vivid picture of the chaos that has ensued. Yet the mainstream media, in their usual fashion, tiptoes around the issue as if it might explode like a defective firecracker. The Times may cover the surface, but they won’t dive into the deeper ramifications that will no doubt be felt for years to come.
As voters become more aware of the realities facing them, it’s clear that there will be a significant backlash against such lenient immigration policies. While some might couch this in humanitarian terms, the average American is reminded daily that there is a difference between compassion and reckless disregard for the rule of law. So while The New York Times is still gathering its thoughts on how to address the concerns of the electorate, those who favor common-sense immigration policies are ready to fight for what’s necessary to protect the nation.
