Author Lionel Shriver is raising concerns about U.S. immigration policy, arguing that actions taken under former President Joe Biden reflect intentional decision-making rather than simple policy failures.
Shriver said her views have shifted over time as she reassessed how immigration policies have been carried out.
“I resisted for a long time this notion that Democrats were deliberately inviting masses of foreigners into the country because they wanted to to grow little Democrats and create a one party state,” she said.
She added that her earlier view attributed the situation to mismanagement. “I imagined a lot of it was incompetence and fecklessness,” Shriver said.
However, she said her perspective has changed.
“Now there may be an element of that, but I think it was more intentional,” she said.
Shriver specifically pointed to border policy decisions during the Biden administration.
“The Biden administration opened that border on purpose,” she said.
