Arrr! Eric Adams be showin' that limitin' immigration be smart, me hearties!

Avast ye scallywags! All it took to blow those lazy clichés of the progressive fancy was a mighty torrent of illegal immigration. That learned swashbuckler Irving Kristol be known to say a neoconservative be but a liberal who's been mugged by reality, and so too be a convert to immigration restrictionism a mayor of a bustling city who be swarmed by the likes of unlawful invaders. In his desperate cries for aid from the crown...
All that it has taken to blow the wind out of the sails of the lazy sayings that defined the progressive stance on immigration is a massive influx of scallywags and landlubbers sneaking into our great nation illegally. Arrr, the tides have turned!The wise Irving Kristol, he who wrote the book of neoconservatism, once said that a neoconservative is essentially a liberal who has faced the harsh realities of life, like getting mugged by a band of cutthroats. Well, in the same swashbuckling spirit, I propose that a convert to immigration restrictionism be defined as a big-city mayor who is left grappling with a sudden surge of illegal immigration in his fair city.
Just imagine the scene, me hearties! Our desperate mayor, clutching his tricorn hat, is begging for help from the federal government. Oh, the irony! It's as amusing as seeing a pirate asking for directions to the nearest treasure chest.
But let us not forget the bigger picture, me mateys. This surge of lawless invaders has exposed the flaws in the progressive argument for open borders. The talking points are no longer as smooth as a parrot's feathers. One cannot simply rely on fanciful tales of multicultural harmony and economic prosperity when faced with the harsh reality of illegal immigration running rampant.
So, me fellow pirates, let us toast to this unexpected turn of events. The progressive stance is taking on water, while the ship of immigration restrictionism is sailing proudly. Arrr, the times they are a-changin'!
