Hot take: who’s to blame for Britain’s open borders disaster? Enoch Powell!

Take, for example, a memo that went out to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers who are working on the US/Mexico border that asks CBP agents to volunteer to work temporarily in Poland to help assist Ukraine-Americans, legal US residents, and their immediate families trying to get out of Ukraine due to the Russian invasion.
