Tear It Down, and They Will Come

Everyone has gotten the message about the southern border.

The phrase “a borderless world” has long been a metaphorical way to speak of greater global interconnectedness, but the Biden administration must have taken it literally.

The southern border is emphatically not just for Spanish-speaking migrants anymore.

It was apparently too narrow-minded and exclusionary only to allow illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America to walk into the country. This shameful, implicit bias in favor of our own hemisphere has now been rectified.

The United States no longer simply has a border to its south with Mexico and, by extension, Central America; it has a border with the world, and is doing just as poor a job enforcing it.
