Liberals are fine with the border states being overrun by illegals. But not their states.
The despicable nature of the leftist political response to illegal immigration cannot be understated. They were perfectly fine with a full on invasion of the southern border as long as they didn’t have to deal with it directly and as long as they thought they could use illegals as a voting block. But ever since the Governor of Texas started busing thousands of them to progressive strongholds like Washington DC and New York, suddenly the leftists are not so hospitable.
Democrats laughed at the prospect of Texas relocating illegals at the beginning of this year. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki even snidely thanked Governor Greg Abbott for paying the bus fair of migrants into DC. She is rather silent on the issue now.
As of 2021, 36 states have some form of voter ID requirement, which makes it much more difficult for Democrats to exploit illegal immigrants as vote fodder in local and national elections. Some blue states have tried to institute ID benefits to migrants, but these measures are few and far between. Meaning, the migrants are no longer of much use to them other than to continue degrading the legitimacy of the border.
