Open borders permanent: Just listen to NY Times

[JBG]

The New York Times, in many ways basically a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party, in an "article" about immigration (link) (gift article not paywalled) states:

" Known as Temporary Protected Status, the program was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush to help people already in the United States who cannot return safely and immediately to their country because of a natural disaster or an armed conflict.
But for some immigrants, the program, which allows them to work legally, has become all but" permanent, a reflection of how troubled many corners of the world are and how little Congress has done to adapt the U.S. immigration system to the realities of global migration in the 21st century.

One can only guess what such an "adapted" immigration system would look like. I can only hazard a guess that it would basically be the "probation in place"/(more or less) open borders we have now. I presume that the "realities of global migration in the 21st century" are that the entire world needs a home in the West. This has consequences, see NY Times article (link):

But growing antisemitism, increased migration and more extremist, anti-immigrant parties have led to backlash and divisions rather than comity. The long war in Gaza has only exacerbated these conflicts and their intensity, especially among young Muslims and others who feel outraged by Israeli bombings and by the tens of thousands of deaths in Gaza, a large proportion of them women and children.
Those tensions were on full display in the recent violence surrounding a soccer match between an Israeli and a Dutch team in Amsterdam, where the authorities are investigating what they call antisemitic attacks on Israeli fans, as well as incendiary actions by both sides. Amsterdam is far from the only example of the divisions in Europe over the Gaza war and of the challenges they present to European governments.
The normally amusing Eurovision Song Contest, which was held this year in Malmo, Sweden, a city with a significant Muslim population, was marred by pro-Palestinian protests against Eden Golan, a contestant from Israel, which participates as a full member.

In particular Jewish people, barely clinging to a post-Holocaust truce with the West, now face growing calls for the reduction in ability to participate and eventually for extirpation. The West is being called upon to host an unlimited number of people from the rest of the world who do not accept a self-disciplined "live and let live" approach, but demand loosened criminal laws and enforcement, as well as subsidy. I have more sympathy for Lakin Riley than the illegals in this country. While I feel bad for them, there is a right way and an illegal way. We have laws for a reason.

Well of course the border issue couldn't have been serious!
