What Will Happen if Democrats Take Over Immigration Policy

Migrants are lining up at the border now that Democrats have won the midterms, according to Mark Krikorian, Center for Immigration Studies president.

“What Border Patrol agents have seen is that the Democrats aren’t even in yet, but once they won the election, the number of illegal immigrants trying to get across has gone up,” he told the Daily Signal.

Trump made a similar claim this week on Truth Social.

“Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms — I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT — the INVASION of our Country is taking place again,” Trump said. “Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico.”

When people believe they will have positive outcomes if they cross the border, they are more likely to try, Krikorian said.

“There’s always been caravans, even during the first two years. But they understood that they couldn’t get across the border, and even if they did, they wouldn’t get much out of it,” he said. “So they were basically trying to come through Mexico to get to what amount to staging areas, so that when the Democrats get in, they’d be able to rush across.”

Krikorian said a rise in violence will follow increased immigration.

“There’s simply no question that without better enforcement, you’re going to have more tragedies and more crime,” he said.

If Democrats win the White House in 2028, they will make the whole country a sanctuary city, Krikorian said.

“What sanctuary means is that when police arrest somebody for some other crime, a regular local crime, they communicate that to ICE. When the police are done with them, or the DA or whatever, they hand them over to ICE for deportation. Democrats don’t want that,” he said.

“So, by definition, some drug dealer who gets arrested is returned to the community, and then he graduates to a higher level of crime and kills people,” Krikorian added.

Prospective illegal immigrants will hear Democrats in Congress welcoming them into the country, and they will come, he said.

“When the Democrats come in, when the Democratic House and Senate are sworn in in January, you’re going to see a further increase because all the politicians are going to be talking about how we’re now going to fight against evil Trump’s immigration enforcement,” he said.

“People here—smugglers and prospective illegal aliens—they know all of that stuff. They’re just waiting for the Democrats to create the conditions where it’s worth paying a smuggler to try to sneak into the United States.”
