... Unwanted mass migration is the issue of our time, as there is no foreseeable end to it before it alters America irremediably....

They [migrants] are thus a net drain upon the resources of a nation that is already, at full employment, running a deficit of $779 billion a year.
 
These migrants, however, are a present and future benefit to the Democratic Party that built and maintains our mammoth welfare state, and which, in presidential elections, routinely wins 70 to 90 percent of the votes of people whose trace their ancestry to Asia, Africa and Latin America.
 
... Democrats believe that if they can change the composition of the American electorate, they can control America forever.
 
If Donald Trump was elected on any one issue, it was immigration and his promises to secure the border, build the wall and halt the invasion.
 
How he deals with the impending crisis of the migrant caravan may affect both the fate of his party in November and his presidency in 2020.
