Normalization – The process of bringing or returning something to a normal condition or state.
The normalizing of chaos is the greatest tool of the Left. When it comes to immigration, the Democrats are masters. The Left manufactures a crisis which creates chaos then they wait to judge the reaction of the American people. If the reaction of the American people is outrage and condemnation, the Democrats will step away as if they are simply spectators to this crisis and then they wait and gauge the level of outrage. Because of the rapid news cycle and the short attention span of Americans, the Democrats let the crisis and chaos simmer and massage the disaster through several news cycles. Then the master level move is made, the Left normalizes the crisis. Days earlier the outrage was at a boiling point but now the chaos is expected, and the Dems simply shrug their collective shoulders as if this is the new normal so get used to it. The impotent Republicans play along because they too become wealthy from the destruction of the American immigration system.
This is the scenario the Democrats have played to perfection since Joe Biden came out of his basement to be sworn in as the President of the United States.
The immigration situation in the final months of the Trump presidency could be summed up in one word: Winning! For the first time in my 24-year career in the U.S. Border Patrol, our great agency had operational control of the border. The nations south of America were forced by Trump to participate in the closing of our borders. I would receive the national Border Patrol Daily 24-Hour Report on the number of arrests and get-a-aways across the southern border. In Trump’s final months, the Border Patrol was arresting several hundred illegals in a 24-hour period covering approximately 2,000 border miles with maybe a hundred or two get-a-aways. The border wall was near completion and the new normal was a secure border that was going to be airtight in a short time.
Then came Biden and the traitorous Mayorkas. Overnight the crisis appeared, and chaos once again reigned on the border. The daily report now showed over 5,000 illegals arrested and thousands of get-a-ways. Outrage ensued but the invasion of thousands crossing our borders was normalized and an expectation of chaos and the lack of sovereignty was the new normal. Within weeks the Biden Administration ramped up the crisis as they encouraged foreigners throughout the world to come to America. Immediately, 5,000 illegal crossers became 7,000, 8,000, even 9,000 arrested daily with another 10,000 get-a-ways. The Border Patrol holding facilities were overrun and the conditions were deplorable. “Cages” once decried as inhumane by the Left were now perfectly fine. So good in fact, that everyone turned a blind eye to a “cage” with capacity for 300 was now being forced to hold 1,400 individuals. Even this disgusting situation was normalized.
Here is when the Democrats made their biggest move to drive the final nail into the immigration coffin. They used the crisis of severe overcrowding and the deplorable conditions as the excuse to release thousands of illegals into our country totaling over 5,000,000 in less than two years of this fool’s Presidency. The screams of indignation and frustration rained down from Americans, but the Left pulled out their playbook and the playbook said to sit and wait. They waited and now as we head into another federal government fiscal year, the numbers of illegals entering our country through our open borders increase daily. We are on pace to surpass last year’s record of illegal entries to set a new record of over 3,500,000 arrests.
There are no future changes to our enforcement posture on the border. Lawlessness increases. The U.S. immigration system has been destroyed and it can no longer function but don’t worry because this is all normal.
