It has now become a common slogan among advocates
of open borders—and many mainstream commentators—that “there is no migrant crisis.”
But
whether they like it or not, radically transformative levels of mass migration
are unpopular across every section of society and throughout the world. And the
people among whom it is unpopular, the citizenry, have the right to
vote.
Thus migration increasingly presents a crisis that is
fundamental to democracy. Any political party wishing to govern will
either have to accept the will of the people, or it will have to
repress dissent in order to impose the open borders agenda.
Many on the
libertarian Left are among the most aggressive advocates of the latter. And for
what? To provide moral cover for exploitation? To ensure that left-wing parties
that could actually address any of these issues at a deeper
international level remain out of power?
