Laura Ingraham discusses the handling of the border crisis by lawmakers and liberals
Irresponsibility of the White House
Laura Ingraham begins her discussion by criticizing the White House for their irresponsibility in addressing the border crisis. She points out that the White House has failed to take action and address the problem, leading to an unsustainable situation. Ingraham emphasizes that it is the responsibility of the government to feed, clothe, and house individuals, but it is not realistic to do so indefinitely. She argues that the White House’s lack of action has led to overwhelming demand for shelters and an overflow of illegal immigrants onto the streets. Ingraham believes that the White House’s failure to address the crisis is a clear example of irresponsibility on their part.
Increase in demand for shelters
Ingraham highlights the increase in demand for shelters as a result of the growing number of illegal immigrants. She mentions that migrant shelters are becoming overwhelmed and unable to handle the influx of individuals. Ingraham goes on to mention that even soccer fields are now being used as temporary shelters to accommodate the tens of thousands of individuals arriving in the country. She argues that the level of demand is not slowing down and that shelters are being expanded at a rapid pace. Ingraham believes that this situation is unsustainable and poses a major challenge for the government.
Unsustainable nature of the situation
Ingraham further emphasizes the unsustainability of the current border crisis. She argues that the math simply does not add up when considering the number of illegal immigrants arriving each month. Ingraham questions how the government can effectively handle a situation where 10,000 individuals are arriving every month. She believes that a decompression strategy is necessary to address the problem, but acknowledges that it cannot be achieved without proper border enforcement. Ingraham asserts that the unsustainable nature of the situation calls for immediate action and a comprehensive strategy to address the root causes of illegal immigration.
Awakening of liberals thanks to Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott
Ingraham acknowledges the recent awakening of liberals on the issue of illegal immigration, thanks to the actions of Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott. She believes that their strategic moves to ship migrants to sanctuary states have exposed the hypocrisy and double standards of liberal leaders. Ingraham suggests that liberals are now experiencing the same problems that border communities have been enduring for years. She mentions that liberal leaders in Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts are now crying foul and changing their tune on illegal immigration. Ingraham sees this awakening as a positive step towards addressing the border crisis.
The concept of NIMBY and its application to liberal attitudes towards immigration
In discussing the changing attitudes of liberals towards immigration, Ingraham introduces the concept of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard). She explains that NIMBY refers to the attitude of liberals who support open borders, but do not want to deal with the actual consequences of such policies in their own communities. Ingraham points out the hypocrisy of liberals who advocate for open borders but object to hosting migrants in their own homes or communities. She suggests that this attitude is a form of selective compassion, where liberals only support immigrants as long as it does not inconvenience their own lives or landscape.
Political motivations behind liberal leaders’ change in rhetoric
Ingraham delves into the political motivations behind the recent change in rhetoric from liberal leaders on the issue of illegal immigration. She argues that their sudden concern is not driven by genuine compassion or the desire to solve the border crisis. Instead, Ingraham believes that liberal leaders are motivated by their desire to win in upcoming elections. She suggests that the increasing level of demand and the negative impact on liberal states’ image is driving their change in rhetoric. Ingraham asserts that this change is simply a political strategy to regain political power, rather than a genuine concern for the well-being of migrants or the American people.
Criticism of the Biden administration for the surge in illegal immigration
Ingraham directs her criticism towards the Biden administration for the surge in illegal immigration. She blames the administration for flinging open the border and creating a welcoming stance that has led to the record surge. Ingraham questions why Democrats who were quick to criticize Trump for the conditions at the border are now silent on the issue. She believes that the Biden administration is responsible for the surge and should be held accountable for their actions. Ingraham argues that the administration’s failure to enforce the border has resulted in the current crisis and calls for them to take immediate action.
Comparison of liberal attitude towards immigration to COVID lockdowns
Drawing a comparison to the COVID lockdowns, Ingraham discusses the liberal attitude towards immigration. She argues that liberals were quick to institute lockdowns and restrict the movement of people during the pandemic, but they now support open borders and unrestricted immigration. Ingraham believes that liberals are selective in their concern for the well-being of individuals, as they are willing to inconvenience working-class Americans during lockdowns but want to avoid any political fallout or inconvenience caused by immigration. She suggests that this double standard highlights the hypocrisy of liberal leaders and their lack of genuine concern for the American people.
Democratic silence on the current border situation
Addressing the Democratic party’s silence on the current border situation, Ingraham questions why Democrats who criticized Trump for the conditions at the border are not speaking out against the current situation. She believes that their silence is a clear example of their lack of genuine concern for the well-being of migrants. Ingraham suggests that Democrats only used the conditions at the border as a political tool to criticize Trump and gain support during elections. She asserts that their silence on the current crisis exposes their hypocrisy and lack of true empathy for those affected by the border crisis.
Call for voters in Democrat-run states to make a change in the upcoming elections
Ingraham concludes her discussion by calling for voters in Democrat-run states to make a change in the upcoming elections. She urges voters in New England, the Pacific Northwest, New York, and Illinois to consider the negative impact of the policies they are voting for. Ingraham asserts that the policies supported by Democrats in these states are making the lives of their constituents worse, whether it be through the border crisis, inflation, energy costs, or crime. She encourages voters to consider a new start towards common sense in the upcoming elections and to vote for candidates who prioritize the well-being of their communities and the country as a whole.
