“Ellis Island was the first and largest federal immigrant processing station, receiving over 12 million future Americans between 1892 and 1954, when it was abandoned.”

“Border officials encountered 11 million unauthorized migrants attempting to enter the US between October 2019 and June 2024.”

The progressive wing of the Democratic Party, the wing often at odds with the Biden/Harris administration on issues such as the Gaza war, criminal justice, and energy production, has begun to criticize the Biden administration’s crackdown on asylum, saying that it’s a “betrayal of American values” as we are largely a “nation of immigrants.” While we are indeed a nation of immigrants (and, before that, colonists who didn’t always treat the Native people very kindly), the notion that any crackdown on asylum and crossings at the southern border is a “betrayal of American values” is nonsense, as seen in the 2 above statistics being displayed side-by-side. There has always been regulation to the amount of immigration we allow.

The far-left will often point to the words on the Statue of Liberty - specifically “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.” - when advocating for unlimited asylum, decriminalizing border crossings, abolishing ICE, etc. The hypocrisy of this is that the number of people who immigrated through Ellis Island in a 62-year span is only 1 million people larger than the number of people who have crossed our southern border in the past 5 years, under both the Biden and Trump administrations.

Should we be welcoming to immigrants who come here legally? Yes. Are the majority of immigrants, legal or illegal, serial killers and pet-eaters? No, of course not. But, as with all other times in American history, we need to regulate the amount of people coming in.

One of the most mature things one can do is realize when mistakes were made and own up to them. Democrats have made many mistakes in the past, everything from endorsing slavery and segregation to advocating for shifting funds away from law enforcement and the military, which is why I applaud the current Democratic Party for turning back to the center on immigration and realizing that having unregulated immigration at the southern border was a mistake. While some of my more progressive friends are angry, and some of my ultra-conservative friends still think the Harris campaign stands for “open borders,” I’d rather give the Democratic Party credit where credit is due when they talk about their recommitment to border security.
