What Will Happen if Democrats Take Over Immigration Policy
14th November 2026
Nothing good, that’s sure.
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.
They’ll certainly try their damnedest.
