I have never seen such an accurate depiction of what it looks like without glasses.

For writers with good eyesight, this is a good reference for what it’s like trying to see without our glasses

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received enthusiastic applause during a recent appearance on “The Daily Show” after announcing her intention to solve the border crisis, not with some ridiculous solution like building a wall, but by granting documentation to every illegal immigrant in America. At this point, “The Daily Show” audience must consist of 20 people with a median IQ lower than the average temperature in Montana in January, but the New York congresswoman’s solution seems to be conventional wisdom among most liberals now.

Establishment Democrats know they at least need to pay lip service to the idea of border security, but incompetent and entitled climbers like Ocasio-Cortez feel no compulsion to hide the ball. Progressives are using illegal immigration as a political weapon to destroy their opposition and transform the United States. The “border crisis” is not a crisis at all. It is a political offensive unfolding exactly as progressives intended.

There was a time when the left pretended to care about the working class. It was well understood that immigration was a tool that big business could use to undermine organized labor and drive down wages. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) used to refer to open borders as a “Koch brothers proposal” that would make every American poorer. He was right. Americans who are forced to compete with foreign labor not only see their opportunities dwindle and their earnings fall but must also contend with the flood of new consumers in every other economic market.

Immigration drives up the cost of housing, health care, and education, particularly in the working-class neighborhoods where these new laborers tend to settle. Open borders also encourage drug crime, gang violence, and human trafficking that disproportionately impact the communities Democrats claim to protect. But none of this matters to the modern left because illegal immigration is too valuable as a weapon against its enemies.
