I Used to Support Open Borders. Then I Looked at the Data.

Minneapolis is once again the epicenter of unrest, but this time the protesters have swapped “Black Lives Matter” for “ICE Off Our Streets.” Sanctuary city policies have forced federal law enforcement to execute immigration raids in neighborhoods rather than picking up criminal illegal aliens directly from jails, opening up opportunities for rowdy, street‑level activists to harass and obstruct ICE officers. The current chaos didn’t emerge in a vacuum—it’s the result of decades of bipartisan neglect, selective media outrage, and a disintegrating cultural fabric. The 1965 Immigration Act, sold as necessary reform that would not fundamentally change the country, instead brought radical transformation, especially in cities like Minneapolis. The result is that today, the very notion of assimilation, self‑sufficiency, and basic immigration enforcement is anathema to large sections of the American public.
