JD Foster, former chief economist and director of the Office of Management and Budget, criticizes Democrats' stance on open borders and photo IDs for voting. Foster argues that Democrats have been using these arguments to protect violent illegals against deportation, not all of whom have committed crimes. The left believes that tens of thousands of these illegals have been brought into the country illegally and wants them to stay in America. This aligns with the opposition to requiring government-issued photo ID for voting, which is often supported by 83% of Americans. Foster suggests that Democrats are willing to compromise on the franchise of American citizens through open borders. The author also criticizes the Democratic Party for seeking political power, while Republicans can reduce this deficit by passing the SAVE Act.
