The Left will never stop finding new ways to bring more, more and still more Third World "migrants," by any means they can dream up. The "migrants," as well, their eyes always on the main chance, will never stop finding new ways to game America's immigration system, claiming to be "asylum seekers" from every imaginary threat. That's just how things are.
If you want a preview of what the next big "asylum" thing will be, just look to Europe, and you'll see: Now activists and lawyers are pushing to expand asylum protections to people displaced by climate change. Yes, that's right — the latest proposal involves so-called 'climate refugees.
It’s extremely easy to be allowed into Britain as a refugee or ‘asylum seeker’. You can pretend to be gay. You can claim to be a persecuted dissident for being a member of a political party you know next to nothing about. You can commit a sex crime in Britain and then claim you’ll be persecuted because of it if you’re sent back home. Just one in 100 asylum claims are “genuine”, according to a Home Office whistleblower. If British immigration and asylum law were a colander, it would be all holes and no metal.
And yet now Lefty lawyers and climate activists are hoping to pry it open still further to potential billions of so-called “climate refugees”, on the grounds that standards of living and the weather aren’t always brilliant in places like Africa.
Now, compare that situation to the New World. Large parts of Central and South America are also plagued by weather that isn't, as this report states, always brilliant. Mexico alone has some hot and dry regions, along with some hot and humid regions, and some regions that just suck.
And we can also confidently expect American Democrats and climate scolds — and there's a Venn diagram that's very nearly one big circle — to try this here, too. The template, after all, is already in place. Consider, as well, how the incoming, Democrat-controlled 120th Congress is apt to look at all this, because we're almost certain to start to see waves of people seeking climate asylum, right here, in the very near future, as they perceive (correctly) that Democrats are more likely to deliver this horse squeeze policy.
Liberal hearts have long bled for plight of the Dark Continent, of course, but the catalyst for this new wave of legal activism is an extraordinary ruling last year by the International Court of Justice, the judicial arm of the climate-zealot United Nations. In July 2025, its Advisory Opinion on “The Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change” sought to establish an overarching legal framework governing states’ “obligations” around greenhouse gas emissions and their alleged consequences. It’s potent, ambitious stuff. “The ICJ’s message is clear: climate obligations are not aspirational – they are legal, substantive and enforceable,” explains Climate Law, a Columbia Law School blog. Writing in the Daily Sceptic earlier this year, former UN official and public policy professor Ramesh Thakur starkly warned: “The logic underpinning the advisory opinion prepares the ground for individual liability, speech restrictions and legal intimidation.”
Catnip, then, to Lefties the world over. Amnesty International last year hailed the opinion as “a landmark moment for climate justice and accountability”, adding that “the ICJ recognised that it is scientifically possible to determine each state’s contribution to the climate crisis”. Because after all, we all know the gold standard of scientific enquiry is when an activist charity agrees with an activist court.
Of course, the ICJ opinion doesn't itself create a new asylum category, but advocates clearly see an opening to push for broader protections.
Now, we have one advantage, until January of 2029: A Republican president, who still runs our immigration enforcement apparatus, and who has a big, beautiful veto pen for any egregiously stupid bills that the Democrat Congress will send his way — and they don't have a veto-proof majority, not yet, anyway.
There may yet be a silver lining in all this. We have a bit of running room here, at least until January of 2029. And the issue of immigration is still an issue where Republicans have an advantage, at least in the polls. This is still an issue where Republicans can hold the line, at least for a while. And if Democrats go all the way in on this issue, it's a misstep that might cost them in 2028. Granted, that's still a long way away.
Here's the thing: This is another confirmation that the whole climate change panic-mongering is a political issue, not a scientific one. The Left is using it to allow waves of Third World immigration into the Western world. The "climate refugees" are using it as a lever to pry open the doors to come to the Western world, for whatever purpose they may have. And it's a heck of a good issue to hang around every Democrat who makes a clueless statement about the poor climate refugees; it helps conservatives not only on the immigration issue, but on the whole climate-panic, we have to give up our modern technological lifestyles nitwittery.
We have to take our advantages where we find them. If Democrats here emulate the European Left and start insisting we admit "climate refugees," that will be a major misstep — one on which Republicans should, yes, pounce.
