There should be no doubt as to the correctness of the Supreme Court’s decision today allowing immigration agents to conduct raids of facilities in which it is suspected that illegal aliens are working or hiding. California Democrats and others on the anti-borders, pro–illegal immigration left, whose claims are unfortunately echoed by the Court’s three progressive justices, have engaged in the worst sort of demagogy.
This is not about whether it is a wise policy to carry out such raids. They are an inevitable aspect of prioritizing immigration enforcement. It violates our law to enter and working in the United States without statutory authorization. The executive branch’s obligation is to enforce the laws. And if the administration granted illegal-alien workers a de facto amnesty that Congress had not enacted into law (as the Biden and Obama administration did), that would both be unconstitutional and encourage swarms of foreigners to try to enter our country illegally – which, in turn, would reduce the resources available to process the entry of foreigners who comply with our laws.
