After decades since its inception, The Cloward-Piven Strategy is alive and well in 2023, the political tactic aimed at overwhelming the current political and economic systems with a flood of demands, thereby forcing change through crisis is prevalent tactic used by extensively by liberal political activist across the country.

Based on the belief that traditional political channels, such as elections and lobbying, are ineffective in bringing about meaningful change. Instead, it aims to create a crisis that will force the government to respond with sweeping reforms.

The basic idea is to mobilize large numbers of people to demand entitlements and benefits, such as welfare, food stamp, and immigration reforms from the government. The goal is to create such a high volume of demands that the government will be unable to meet them, leading to a collapse of the system and a call for major reforms.

Over the years, The Cloward-Piven strategy has been used in a variety of political contexts. It was designed to address poverty and welfare but has since shifted much of its focus to voting rights and now with the open border issue that confronts us, a complete immigration reform referendum.

Simply look at the invasion occurring along the southern border with the unchecked and unfettered flood of illegal crossings that are overwhelming the border towns and is now major cities across the country.

The burdens placed on schools, healthcare systems, housing, and along with social issues that arise have created unsustainable requirements on the affected populace. 

Calls for immediate asylum will only exacerbate the problem.

This is a dangerous tactic that can lead to violence and social unrest. Overwhelming the system with demands can lead to chaos and instability, rather than the desired reforms. 

The strategy is inherently unfair, as it favors those who are the most aggressive in demanding entitlements, rather than those who are most in need.

However, critics argue that the strategy is inherently unfair, as it favors those who are most aggressive in demanding entitlements, rather than those who are most in need. 

This is because the government is more likely to respond to those who are creating the most disruption, rather than those who are most in need. 

This can lead to a situation where the most vulnerable members of society are left behind, while the most aggressive and privileged are able to take advantage of the system.
