Immigration isn\u2019t even on your list of priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd why is that a problem? Because, ladies and gentlemen\u2026 When you want to open our borders, or when you don\u2019t mind, per se, our borders being flooded, I want to state for the record that I think that it\u2019s a DIRECT ASSAULT against black voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I believe that when you have a situation where you have some folks on the left who don\u2019t mind [open borders] at all, what they\u2019re really saying is, we want to dilute the potency of the black vote, because the MORE migrants that cross the border, and the MORE of that base you secure as a voting base, the less you need black people!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI DON\u2019T LIKE THAT!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stephen A. Smith is finally waking up. Democrats don\u2019t want open borders out of compassion. They want to flood in votes and turn all of America into a one-party state like California.<\/p>\n<p>As @elonmusk once said: \u201cDems won\u2019t deport, because every illegal is a highly likely vote at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Vigilant Fox <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f98a.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd8a\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/> (@VigilantFox) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VigilantFox\/status\/2116106179365540052?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou know the biggest problem with the Democrats is right now: immigration isn\u2019t even on your list of priorities,\u201d Smith told his listeners. \u201cAnd why is that a problem? Because, ladies and gentlemen, I want to state for the record what I firmly believe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you want to open our borders, or when you don\u2019t mind per se our borders being flooded, I want to state for the record that I think that it\u2019s a direct assault against black voters,\u201d the host continued, saying that he is \u201cof the Obama variety\u201d when it comes to illegal immigration, noting that the former Democrat president was ripped as the \u201cdeporter-in-chief\u201d by leftists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut essentially what he did was focus on criminals, and people with salacious or unsavory behaviors, and those were the people that he was deporting. I don\u2019t want anybody and just anybody being deported,\u201d he said. \u201cPersonally speaking, if you\u2019re a law-abiding citizen paying your taxes and contributing to our society, I hope folks stay here. Migrants stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you can\u2019t let everybody in, and you certainly can\u2019t have open borders. And I believe that when you have a situation where you have some folks on the left who don\u2019t mind that at all, what they\u2019re really, really saying is we wanna dilute the potency of the black vote,\u201d Smith said, accusing Democrats of harming one of the party\u2019s most loyal voting blocs if the country is flooded by illegals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the more migrants that cross the border and the more of that base you secure as a voting base, the less you need black people.
