CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 18, 2026
WHY IS SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN, DEMOCRAT OF PENNSYLVANIA, THE ONLY DEMOCRAT TO OPPOSE OPEN BORDERS?
THE ANSWER IS QUITE SIMPLE. HAVING LOST ON THE CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES, DEMOCRATS HAVE ONLY ONE OPTION LEFT IF THEY WISH TO RETURN TO MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE. AND THAT’S VOTES.
SOME STATES, LIKE CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS ARE LOSING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIGH TAXES AND OTHER THINGS. ALLOWING ILLEGALS IN MEANS DEMOCRATS ARE LIKELY TO SHORE-UP CONGRESSIONAL SEATS THEY ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING. THAT’S PARTIALLY WHAT THE BATTLE OVER REDISTRICTING IS ABOUT.
YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT NEW ENGLAND HAS NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE IN THE U.S. HOUSE. NOT ONE. DEMOCRATS COMPLAIN REDISTRICTING IN THE SOUTH IS UNFAIR. THEY WANT TO PACK THE SUPREME COURT AND GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, TOO, GUARANTEEING REPUBLICANS WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER ELECTION. TALK ABOUT FASCISM! JAMES CARVILLE IS OPEN ABOUT THAT GOAL. OTHER DEMOCRATS ARE NOT AS OPEN BUT THEY WANT THE SAME THING. THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE IN PERPETUITY AND IF REPUBLICANS WIN AN ELECTION. IT IS SOMEHOW ILLEGITIMATE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
