  • Summary

  • Thousands of people protesting the deportations of illegal immigrants recently blocked a major highway in Los Angeles.

    Almost a million illegal immigrants live in the LA metropolitan area, so it’s reasonable to suspect that many were protesting the possibility of their own deportation. But it’s hard to imagine a tactic less likely to win widespread public support for their cause.

    It took almost five hours for the highway to fully reopen. This is in a city recently traumatized by terrible wildfires that have destroyed numerous homes and displaced countless people. And virtually all of the protestors were carrying–not American–but Mexican flags.

    The entire episode encapsulates the sense of entitlement that has caused so many Americans to lose patience with open borders immigration policies. America is a land of immigrants—but the immigrants should come legally, and with a sense of appreciation, rather than grievance.
