I truly believe that progressives suffer from a lack of emotional maturity. They're stuck at the five-year old level of "I want" and never actually wonder "do I deserve?" When all your thought ends with your desires with no recognition of whether you've earned something or not, we end up with progressives.

Social constructs like socialism, communism, and fascism are an outgrowth of "wanting" something and not being willing to work for it.

So California needs illegals to keep their electoral college numbers, and ignore the law to do so. The communist mayor and the low intelligence governor will do whatever is needed to keep their power, and support whatever irrational thing comes along that will keep them on top.

The media, of course, aids and abets this criminal activity because they also are true believers in doing what's necessary to maintain their power and position. That's what gets you Jake Tapper, who didn't know until he knew. Same head, two faces.

Thanks for a thoughtful article.

I worked in Ferguson, Missouri for over a decade, and I was there in 2014 when the riots took place because of Michael Brown's death. A number of Ferguson businesses burned to the ground; most never reopened. Missouri's governor at the time, Democrat Jay Nixon, refused to send in the National Guard to help the police protect the businesses. He simply let Ferguson burn to the ground.

Reasoning with useful idiots is irrational and futile. Seek upstream, the source of their funding.

And all those American Indian tribes that you listed were only here on THIS continent for 12 to 14,000 years before the Europeans came. Before that, it was just the indigenous wildlife. Are you being "speciest" (sic), Michael? I mean, the only TRUE native homeland of homo sapiens is North Africa. Shouldn't ALL humans be deported back to that area? (Just trying to be as ridiculous as the progressives. And no, they are NOT "liberals". There is nothing liberal about them.)

Their stories too say ‘when we came there were others, but we drove them away. Kennebunk Man, the oldest human remains, was white.

Yes, Trump and ICE are acting lawfully. That's he whole problem for the Democrats. The Democrats are total, full-on business partners with the cartels. The cartels provide the crime, and the Democrats provide the access, the legal cover, and the non-enforcement that fully enable the crime. The Party gets kickbacks on the drugs, the prostitution, the child trafficking, the slave labor, all of it. I can't imagine how stupid one has to be at this point not to realize it. "Democrats and the Cartels"

And yet, the Democrats are not the source of our problem: "Who Is Really Behind our Illegal Immigration?" https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/who-is-really-behind-our-illegal

It's only lunacy if one fails to understand that the Democrats and the cartels they protect are business partners

The commie Democrats and their mainstream media propaganda partners are liars with parallel goals: brainwash the weak minded, low information, willfully ignorant who are their TDS victims, and do not believe your lying eyes.
