Did you know that Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is diverse? She’s so diverse that she holds a yearly Christmas party that specifically excludes white people so she can safely share her experiences as an oppressed “elected of color.”

Did you also know that she’s a big proponent of illegal immigration? According to Wu, every single human being on the face of the planet has the “legal right” to cross the United States border and seek asylum.

Do you know what I hear when I watch that video? I hear that Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas has another destination to send illegal immigrants, so start gassing up the buses. Wu is practically begging for a huge influx, given she’s still repeating the same tired talking points regarding asylum.

To be clear, every human being does not have a legal right to seek asylum in the United States. The international standard is to seek asylum in the first safe country a person reaches. What we are currently seeing is nation shopping, with illegal immigrants passing through sometimes dozens of countries in which they could have safely resided.

Why? Because they aren’t actually refugees. Rather, they are economic migrants who were in no immediate danger in their home countries. That means they do not even qualify for asylum, a fact made irrelevant because the U.S. asylum system is so overwhelmed that court dates are set years after an initial illegal entry. The technicalities of the process don’t even come into play because the current administration refuses to send resources to expedite claims.

A sane country would not allow an asylum seeker to leave a border facility until everything was adjudicated. That alone would serve as a deterrent for those seeking to game the system. What we have is a completely open border, though. People show up knowing that they will be able to disappear into the interior of the country.

If Wu wants that policy to remain in place, then she and her city should bear the brunt of its consequences. Ship every single illegal immigrant that crosses the border to Boston. Better yet, drop them off on Wu’s doorstep. Let’s see how she likes it when the problem she’s helped create isn’t isolated to poor border towns.
