One Way or Another: The Insanely Easy Choice Facing America on Immigration

In this The American Spectator article, S.A. McCarthy argues that America faces a stark immigration choice: enforce mass deportations now in an orderly way, or risk the kind of social breakdown he says is unfolding in parts of the U.K. and Ireland.

• McCarthy frames the immigration debate as an existential issue, arguing that open-borders ideology threatens America’s sovereignty, culture, safety, and national identity.
• The article uses recent unrest in Belfast as its central warning, claiming that delayed immigration enforcement can eventually produce violent backlash from native populations.
• McCarthy points to criminal incidents in the U.K. and Ireland, including stabbings, attacks, and grooming-gang scandals, to argue that Western governments have sacrificed public safety to avoid accusations of racism.
• He contends that elites promote “multiculturalism” while ordinary citizens bear the consequences of failed immigration policy, housing pressure, crime, and cultural fragmentation.
• The piece argues that mass deportations are not extreme, but rather the “kindest” and most moderate available response compared with the alternative of uncontrolled public anger.
• McCarthy then turns to the United States, listing several high-profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants or foreign nationals, including the murders of Mollie Tibbetts, Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and others.
• His broader argument is that refusing to remove illegal immigrants is itself inhumane because it exposes American citizens—especially women and children—to preventable violence.
• The article closes with a warning to America’s political class: reclaim the country through lawful, humane enforcement now, or risk a future in which the public takes matters into its own hands.
