America’s Cloward-Piven Approach to Illegal Immigration

In order to get what they want, leftists are deliberately crashing the entire system to create chaos.

In 1966, Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven formulated the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It was a plan to overthrow America’s capitalist system by overloading the welfare state bureaucracy with demands that were impossible to meet, thereby precipitating a revolution. Today, the effort to “crash the system” is to overload it with the foot soldiers exploited by Democrats, their media allies, illegal aliens pouring across our “open” southern boarder. They are doing so at the invitation of Democrats, who refuse to enforce immigration laws and are hiding the new class of welfare recipients in their sanctuary cities.

How does one foment a revolution? First, give its foot soldiers a veneer of legitimacy. In 2013, the Associated Press decided to drop the term “illegal immigrant” from its news coverage. Others soon followed suit, and now the majority of the media use terms like “undocumented immigrant” or “migrant” to describe illegals.

Second, reward those who broke the law. Twelve states and the District of Columbia give illegals drivers’ licenses. The Mexican government issues them Consular ID cards allowing them to open U.S. bank accounts. Five states grant illegals in-state college tuition. Nearly 500 hundred municipalities now define themselves as sanctuary cities, shielding illegal immigrants from the law. Moreover, California has not only declared itself a sanctuary state, but has enacted laws limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities, and prohibiting employers from providing voluntary cooperation with ICE agents, absent a warrant or court order. And in a first for the nation, the state’s Senate Rules Committee has appointed an illegal immigrant to a statewide government job.

This is nothing less than nullification. And nothing made that clearer than a 2010 lawsuit filed by the Obama administration against Arizona, when it attempted to enforce immigration law the administration was conspicuously ignoring. In a 5-3 decision two years later, the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Arizona law and in the process, “reinforced the federal government’s primacy in immigration policy,” as The Washington Post crowed at the time.

To his credit, current Attorney General Jeff Sessions has filed a lawsuit against the state based on that premise, but it remains to be seen if this signals a paradigm shift, or merely a long-winded legal fight awaiting a future Democrat administration — one that will undoubtedly withdraw the suit.

In the meantime, Congress is doing absolutely nothing to hold law-defying politicians accountable.
