Democrats Choose Illegals Over Americans
It is a simple choice with only two options for Democrats: do they favor Americans or illegal aliens? Every time they’ve been given the choice, Democrats choose illegal aliens. So why would anyone be surprised that they’re doing it again when it comes to COVID?
I don’t care for writers to quote themselves extensively, but in this case I have to. I also have to say “I told you so,” another thing I’m not a fan of. But both are necessary for this because I’ve already written about this and, honestly, I told people so.
In December, I wrote a piece called, “Democrats Have to Choose Between Ending the Pandemic and Open Borders.” In it I wrote about the left having to choose “between reopening the country safely and their desire for open borders, pointing out that no matter how deeply they desire it “they can’t have both.”
They’re trying to, and Americans are going to suffer.
As I wrote then, “We know the vaccine works, but we don’t know for how long it will work. If a person needs annual or bi-annual booster shots until the virus is eradicated, that means we can’t be welcoming in anyone from a country that does not have a functioning government capable of inoculating their population.” Three months later, that is exactly what the Biden administration is doing.
The borders are open for illegals. Anyone crazy enough to walk up to an official crossing won’t be welcomed, but walk to one of the huge open areas and you’re in.
Try to fly here from most of the world, and you likely won’t be allowed to. The odds are high your country is still on the suspended list. But fly to Mexico and walk across the border and you’ll get greeted with open arms, especially if you have a kid with you. The only people allowed to enter the country at will are rich liberals, celebrities, and illegal aliens.
The Biden administration has not only released more than 100 illegals who’ve tested positive for COVID into the country, they don’t quarantine the others for anywhere near the length of time of the incubation period for the virus to know how many hundreds more had it before they were set loose in America. How many made it evading Border Patrol altogether?
How helpful to returning to some semblance of normal life is this policy? It is not.
And it’s not as though sick illegal aliens were released into a field somewhere they couldn’t infect others, they were put on contained buses that set off for cities across the country. If you wanted someone to get people sick, that’s exactly what you’d do. How many people were infected from there is anyone’s guess. The Biden administration is pretending the whole thing isn’t happening and it’s of little interest to the media.
It’s impossible for caravans not to be petri dishes of infection – thousands of people marching for weeks, sharing food and water is the exact breeding ground for disease it sounds like it would be. If Democrats aren’t interested in protecting Americans, which they clearly aren’t, why on Earth would they give a damn about illegal aliens? The survival rate is so high that the vast majority will live long enough to eventually be granted amnesty, citizenship, and the ultimate goal of a voter registration card.
Dealing with, or even exposing, the reality of this does not serve the left's agenda. If a bunch of people have to get unnecessarily sick, so be it. If some die – and some will die – well, it’s not like progressives have ever had a problem with causing large numbers of deaths. The last century of their existence exposed that horrific fact.
Three months ago I asked the simple question, “[D]oes Joe Biden favor Americans over illegal aliens?” It was rhetorical, of course, but I answered it with another: “Is there anything he, Kamala Harris, or any Democrat has said in the last 15 years that would make you think the answer is Americans?” The answer to that last question is now as clear as it has always been obvious, and they aren’t even bothering to try to hide it.

Biden's latest executive order is his most frightening yet
The Democrats who now control Washington, D.C. are determined to change America's election laws to ensure that they never lose another election. The first salvo in this battle was the House's vote passing H.R. 1, which opens federal elections to all types of fraud and manipulation. On Sunday, Joe Biden added his bit to the effort by signing yet another executive order, this one ostensibly to enhance "voting rights" on the anniversary of the Selma protests in 1965. However, the order is drafted to allow the federal government to control political speech.
As with most of Biden's initiatives, it frames the power-grab in terms of race (emphasis mine):
The right to vote is the foundation of American democracy. Free and fair elections that reflect the will of the American people must be protected and defended. But many Americans, especially people of color, confront significant obstacles to exercising that fundamental right. These obstacles include difficulties with voter registration, lack of election information, and barriers to access at polling places. For generations, Black voters and other voters of color have faced discriminatory policies and other obstacles that disproportionally affect their communities.
Once again, the leftist premise for increasing opportunities for election fraud is the theory that Blacks lack the mental capacity to navigate the American system without the Democrat party at their side, supporting them. It's an amazingly offensive position, but, sadly, Democrats have conditioned Blacks for decades to believe in their own helplessness.
Having established the premise — Blacks are helpless — the edict sets out the solutions: making it easy to register to vote, vote by mail, and cast ballots; making online access to information easier; distributing voter registration and vote-by-mail forms; and helping people fill out the forms. The more worrisome one requires "soliciting and facilitating approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations and State officials to provide voter registration services on agency premises."
Color me unduly cynical, but I have a feeling that all the "approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations" are going to look remarkably like ACORN or the Southern Poverty Law Center. I heartily encourage conservatives to create "nonpartisan third-party organizations" and to get in line for approval. I suspect, though, that the process will be as hard for them as it was for Tea Party groups in 2012 to get the IRS to approve of them as non-profits.
The scariest thing about the executive order is its emphasis on "information." Through the document, the order empowers the federal government to control information:
"Agencies shall consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process."
The agency is to consider "ways to provide relevant information in the course of activities or services that directly engage with the public — including through ... social media platforms[.]"
For Native Americans, the order establishes a "Steering Group to facilitate the sharing of information and best practices, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law[.]"
That may sound innocuous, but it ceases to do so if you double back to the policy statement in Section 2 (emphasis added):
It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to expand access to, and education about, voter registration and election information, and to combat misinformation, in order to enable all eligible Americans to participate in our democracy.
There's the magic phrase that says what all this emphasis on information is really about: the federal government will use its reach and power "to combat misinformation."
And what is "misinformation" in the Democrats' new political lexicon? It's anything with which the Democrats disagree. The federal government, through Biden, has just announced that it will put its thumb on the scale in all future elections, combatting "misinformation" by presenting its version of "information."
What Biden is proposing is unconstitutional, as is the case with many of his executive orders. They are often straightforward announcements that he will no longer abide by American law, especially regarding our southern border. Biden and his handlers are confident that the Supreme Court is so cowed by the court-packing threat that it will do nothing to slow the Democrats as they slowly, but surely, run the Constitution through a shredder.
Biden’s Border Brouhaha is Just the Start
I tell you what really frosts me about the Biden administration. It is that, one way or another, I am going to have to pay for its terminal stupidity. And I ain’t responsible.
Illegal immigration? Wow, who could have foreseen that the illegals would be swarming the border? Surely the Biden people are in touch with the activist groups that are distributing Biden Let Me In t-shirts. And, by the way, we military history readers know that armies of migrants heading across Central America for the U.S. border don’t feed themselves. They aren’t feeding themselves “off the land” as armies from Xenophon’s Ten Thousand to Sherman’s “bummers” have done down the ages. Someone is organizing the feeding of these people, and someone is paying for it. I wonder who? Oh, so now Biden wants help from the Mexican president.
Oh, I get it. Somehow, somewhere, some Activist Second Class called Clarence needs to get his activist wings on the open-border front. But whatabout the current People of Color citizens? Do not you activists -- “allies” every one -- care that the unskilled migrants you bring into the country are competing with historically marginalized oppressed peoples for jobs? And that they lower the wage level, and that if you raise the minimum wage it will just distort the labor market more and make everyone from the white working class on down more despairing?
Whatabout the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion stimulus bill? Just this week I read how Warren Buffett’s index of stock market valuation to GDP is at an all-time high. Golly, Chuck and Nancy, what could go wrong with cranking up the debt some more? Remember when Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-IL) did not apparently say “a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you are talking about real money.” Forget billions: now it’s trillions!
Oh, I get it. All over the country there are Democratic voters and special interests and blue states that are owed their loot and plunder. Vikings gotta go a-viking. Only this time, I predict, we won’t just get a painfully slow recovery from the Crash of 2008, but something worse. In your Trump hatred you Dems may not remember, but the economy was showing signs of overheating back in 2019, with a reverse yield curve developing in early March. Then, in September 2019, Trump jawboned the Fed into lowering interest rates and it was Katy bar the door once COVID was announced.
Oh, and house prices are now 37.6 percent above their April 2007 peak and have basically spent the last year rocketing into the stratosphere. Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed rate mortgage index has jumped from 2.73 percent to 3.04 percent just in the last three weeks. Golly, Secretary Yellen at the Treasury, what could go wrong?
Inflation? Stagflation? Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
And when things do go wrong, Fed chief Jerome Powell, are you ready? Have you reread Walter Bagehot’s Lombard Street this month and reminded yourself that “lender of last resort” means Lender of Last Resort and you don’t shy at the second fence like apprentice jockey Little Ben Bernanke did in 2008?
But let’s stop talking about me, a well-provided-for OK Boomer. Whatabout the rest of the country?
Do you Dems not understand that unlimited immigration hurts the undereducated and underskilled PoCs the most?
Do you Dems not understand that the minimum wage prices undereducated and underskilled PoCs onto the unemployment line?
Do you Dems not understand that social insurance taxes combined with a hands-off attitude towards illegal migrant labor hurts the PoCs, because legal employees have to pay payroll taxes and their employers have to pay a variety of taxes from unemployment to workers’ comp., and the off-the-books employers and employees do not?
Do you Dems not understand that the subsidization of home mortgages that continues today despite the lesson of 2008 puts money in the pocket of OK Boomers like me and screws the young’uns and the PoCs to the wall? And if you do not understand that, then why not?
And do you Dems not understand that the subsidization of college tuition with student loans puts money in the pocket of educated-class elites and digs it out of the pockets of middle-income youngsters and their middle-income parents.
And do you Dems not understand that wokery like “decolonizing math” means that white Beckys go buy homeschool math books for their children and PoC children get screwed?
I’m halfway through Jordan B. Peterson’s new book Beyond Order, and he writes that on the book tour for 12 Rules one subject made the audience really go quiet and pay attention: Responsibility.
I wonder whether our liberal friends will accept responsibility as things start to go wrong: border chaos today, and maybe “stagflation” by 2022.
Because “responsibility” seems to resonate with people in America.

GOP Lawmakers: Joe Biden’s Border Policies a ‘Super Spreader Event’
A group of 23 House Republicans has sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers on how many border crossers are testing positive for the Chinese coronavirus and subsequently being released into the United States interior.
The letter, led by Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), calls out President Joe Biden’s policies at the U.S.-Mexico border where thousands of border crossers and migrants are being released into the nation’s interior.
Only those enrolled in the Remain in Mexico program are tested for the coronavirus, while others are released, sometimes tested by local communities, and sent on their way regardless of their test results.
“There are reports that at least 100 migrants who tested positive for coronavirus have been released into the United States,” the letter states.
Reports last week confirmed that more than 100 border crossers released into the U.S. interior had tested positive for the coronavirus. Even after their positive result, the border crossers were free to continue traveling into the U.S.
The House Republicans said the restart of the Catch and Release program, in the midst of the pandemic, is “a guaranteed super spreader event.” They write:
Historical precedent indicates illegal border crossings may increase to over 100,000 per month this spring. Due to the continued need for social distancing, [DHS] facilities will quickly reach capacity. Even with efforts to social distance, reporting states that migrants are already being held in crowded spaces while being processed. [Emphasis added]
Coupled with the lack of coronavirus testing along the southern border, this is a guaranteed super spreader event. At the very least, all individuals encountered along our southern border must be tested for coronavirus and provided with personal protective equipment. [Emphasis added]
Among the questions asked of Mayorkas, the House Republicans want to know why border crossers are not being turned away under the Center for Disease Control’s Title 42 order that has helped stem the flow of illegal immigration to the U.S. by allowing federal officials to quickly return border crossers back to their native countries.
The lawmakers also want to know how many border crossers are being released into the U.S. interior and why, as well as how many border crossers are being released and eventually test positive for the coronavirus.
The signatories to the letter include:
- Michael Burgess (R-TX)
- Brian Babin (R-TX)
- Chip Roy (R-TX)
- Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
- Lance Gooden (R-TX)
- Ann Wagner (R-MO)
- Jeff Duncan (R-SC)
- Bill Posey (R-FL)
- Yvette Herrell (R-NM)
- Troy Nehls (R-TX)
- Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
- Randy Weber (R-TX)
- Scott Perry (R-PA)
- Neal Dunn (R-FL)
- Jodey Arrington (R-TX)
- Ronny Jackson (R-TX)
- Doug Lamborn (R-CO)
- Michael Cloud (R-TX)
- Ben Cline (R-VA)
- Doug LaMalfa (R-CA)
- Glenn Grothman (R-WI)
- Brad Wenstrup (R-OH)
- Greg Murphy (R-NC)

Letter to Mayorkas Re Title… by John Binder
Days ago, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced he was deploying the state’s National Guard and troops to high-risk areas of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Texas supports legal immigration but will not be an accomplice to the open border policies that cause, rather than prevent, a humanitarian crisis in our state and endanger the lives of Texans,” Abbott wrote in a statement.
Title 42, cited in the lawmakers’ letter, has successfully expelled nearly 460,000 border crossers from the U.S. since March 2020. In the last four months, alone, between 62,000 to 65,000 border crossers have been expelled and deported monthly under Title 42.
As Breitbart News exclusively reported, the Biden administration is considering ending Title 42, which GOP lawmakers have previously said would invite a surge of illegal immigration.
Thanks to Biden’s ending the Remain in Mexico program and canceling a number of cooperative asylum agreements, federal officials released more than 800 border crossers into the U.S. in the first four days of this month, Breitbart News reported. Since February 19, DHS has released more than 1,100 Remain in Mexico migrants into the U.S.
Biden’s Catch and Release policy has proven unpopular with Americans. In a poll conducted last month of nearly 1,800 voters, 67 percent said border crossers should be returned to Mexico — as they were under the Remain in Mexico program — while just 33 percent said they should be released into the U.S. interior.
