Cancel culture is metastasizing. No one is safe anymore, including yours truly.
On Tuesday afternoon, I was informed that Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, had pulled the plug on my book discussion of "Open Borders Inc." with the Center for Immigration Studies' Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan. The event had been scheduled for this Friday and co-hosts from Bostonians Against Sanctuary Cities were expecting a crowd of about 300 people.
University officials gave pale excuses for the last-minute cancellation, citing local organizers' request for an audio box to accommodate media outlets. Anti-sanctuary activist Lou Murray condemned the decision as "malarkey," vowing that "the show must and will go on." The Bentley University administrators who squelched our open discussion of who's subsidizing and profiting on the mass migration agenda, Murray said, "are the new politically correct Puritans. I thought 'Banned in Boston' died long ago." Liberal opponents of book burning change their tune when the book topics don't fit their narratives.
This isn't the first time that immigration enforcement advocates have been targeted in the Bay State. In 2017, Vaughan's talk on sanctuary policies at the Veterans of Foreign Wars building in Franklin, Massachusetts, was canceled after a vehement protest by left-wing illegal immigration supporters recycled the Southern Poverty Law Center's smear that CIS is a "hate group." Vaughan is scheduled to speak next week at a community center in Sharon, Massachusetts. Protesters are already organizing online to disrupt the event.
Marginalizing all champions of secure borders and sovereignty as "haters" is SPLC's bread and butter. Even after its hate-manufacturing character assassins have been discredited as poverty palace scam artists by liberal journalists, the group succeeds in executing attacks on political opponents through willing and able media surrogates. The New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, CNN, PBS and MSNBC have all regurgitated SPLC's release of leaked emails between senior White House adviser Stephen Miller and a former editor for the conservative Breitbart website. Miller, who is Jewish, has been attacked repeatedly as a "white nationalist" for recommending immigration restrictionist books and websites that the powers that be don't want anyone to read. Miller's frank discussions of "demographic Armageddon" wrought by mass, uncontrolled migration have been deemed beyond the pale. Unhinged Sen. Mazie Hirono called on Miller to resign.
But math doesn't lie. The unrelenting numbers of amnestied illegal immigrants, guest workers, foreign students and green card holders on a path to citizenship—who vote overwhelmingly, stubbornly and immutably Democratic—do indeed spell doom. This week, both The New York Times and Los Angeles Times reported on the obvious electoral impact of open borders on Virginia and California and the rest of the country, which will be majority-minority by 2045.
No one called on the journalists reporting the facts to be fired or smeared them as "conspiracy theorists." When I delivered the same message on Fox News two months upon my book launch, however, globalist billionaire George Soros's lying henchmen at Media Matters compared me to the Tree of Life synagogue shooter and hurled "anti-Semite" epithets at me. More recently, when I defended conservative nationalist students who confronted establishment GOP representatives at campus events held by Turning Point USA and the Young America's Foundation with serious questions about the detrimental consequences of mass migration, the Keepers of the Gate called on me to be de-platformed and cast out of the conservative "mainstream."
After delivering two speeches at Lock Haven University and UCLA on the important battle between grassroots "America first" activists and big business , open borders Republicans, YAF issued a statement this weekend, asserting: "There is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists."
Yes, my friends, they were talking about me.
Both the open borders left and right don't want to address immigration-induced demographics. They just want to demagogue, while joining together in D.C. to push expanded guest-worker pipelines (S.B. 386), agribusiness amnesties (H.R. 4916), and massive "Dreamer" work permits (H.R. 6). Employing the very witch hunt tactics of the left that so many conservative pundits purport to abhor, YAF and others (including Jonah Goldberg, David French, various snot-nosed libertarians from the Washington Examiner and elsewhere) demand that I disavow the young nationalist disrupters who have captured social media attention over the past three weeks. Don't rely on slanted summaries of what they've said and done. Go to the original sources, as I have done in communicating with many of these earnest students who think for themselves.
Because I named their chief strategist and organizer, 21-year-old YouTube show host Nick Fuentes [Tweet him] I was accused of promoting "Holocaust denialism" and "white nationalism" based on brief clips of Fuentes accumulated by anonymous sources culled from 500 of his hours-long shows. I have done no such thing. The rabid reaction pearl-clutching Beltway elites are having to a kid in his basement exposes how desperate they are to protect the "America last" racket.
Several of the establishment conservatives now smearing America-firsters have themselves espoused identitarian ideas and ethnic nationalism of one flavor or another. But because they are controlled opposition, they are safe.
The only thing I disavow is the hypocritical disavowal mob on both sides of the aisle. I cancel you.

Our Borders, Ourselves: America in the Age of
Multiculturalism
Author Lawrence
Auster
Description
Multiculturalism and unmitigated immigration have weakened
America quite possibly to the point of no return.
At its
founding, immigration was integral in the formation of the United States of
America. The melting pot was the essence of our beginning. The blending of
diverse people overwhelmingly from Europe made the country an extension of the
greatest of civilizations. When immigration was measured, when assimilation was
demanded, and when our borders were controlled, America thrived. This diversity
within limits enriched America. But in the last half century or so, when
uncontrolled immigration from the world over was pushed upon us, when
balkanization was encouraged, America faltered. "Diversity" became a
deceptive catchword and a force hostile to cultural and natural distinctions.
Illegal immigrants were welcomed by the millions. Eventually, we saw racial
profiling in college admissions, politicians pitting groups of people against
each other, and white becoming a bad word.
In Our
Borders, Ourselves, genius conservative essayist Lawrence Auster
details the fraud foisted upon the American people in the name of diversity.
Published posthumously, Our Borders explains
how the Immigration Act of 1965 led to the erasing of white America and the
nihilist culture we live in today.
The granting
of aggressive race consciousness to minority groups and the denial of it to the
majority are only one part of the problem. This book identifies the principal
ideas and forces--racial, political, psychological, moral, and religious--that
are destroying American civilization and shows how those forces have been
institutionalized and internalized by the American people themselves, including
conservatives. Auster explains in detail the shift from classical liberalism to
modern liberalism, which corresponds to the shift from self-respect to
self-esteem.
Once a
society has denied the existence of right and wrong, it has abandoned its own
history and denied its own legitimacy. It has opened a Pandora's Box of evils
that, according to Auster, can never be returned whence they came.

America
needs well-enforced borders but President Donald Trump’s national “emergency”
is part of a much larger crisis facing Western nations.
State
entropy, widespread violence and economic desperation, prevalent in many parts
of Central and South America, the Middle East and Africa, are
driving millions north—mostly to America and the European Union. The sheer potential numbers
could pose overwhelming challenges of assimilation and undermine the cultural
underpinnings of our market economies and democratic institutions.
The
recent sharp increase in Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal migrants and
asylum seekers has exhausted U.S. recourses to detain those awaiting
adjudication. Within several weeks of apprehension, they join 11
million immigrantswithout
permanent legal status—driving down wages for lower-paid Americans and
overwhelming local cultures in some of the nation’s poorest communities.
Sophisticated
technologies—cameras, drones and the like—are more cost efficient than a wall,
but only a wall could keep migrants from setting foot on American soil and
being released into the general population.
Most
asylum claims are questionable. Mexico offers migrants humanitarian visas and
the opportunity to work, but politically motivated judges have squashed
administration attempts to limit asylum claims.
Sadly,
federal courts led by Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts have become quite
comfortable arrogating power in response to public sentiment—for example,
striking down state statutes prohibiting gay marriage—and acceding to political
pressure from Democrats—the
peculiar reasoning Roberts
applied to declare Affordable Care Act fines are taxes.
Presidential
claims about “Obama Judges” and “Trump
Judges” have
some merit but in any case, Trump’s immigration point man, Stephen Miller, has
not done the homework to effectively argue that a national emergency exists.
Trump
charges the illegal flood is full of criminals, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
always a comforting presence, counters that Americans commit rape, robbery and
homicide too. What matters is whether poor
immigrants commit crimes at an alarming higher rate that our indigenous population.
Since
2015, Germany has admitted over 1.4
million asylum seekers—about 2% of its population, and they commit about 14% of the crimes.
Surely, the FBI could help Miller to come up with comparable U.S. statistics.
Then we could get at the truth—or he has but the administration is not willing
to back off on its crime claims.
Polls
show most
Americans don’t support the wall and believe legal
immigration is good for the economy and our culture, and no one has a finger on the pulse of
voters like Pelosi, except perhaps Roberts.
The 1976
National Emergency Act empowers a majority in the Congress to nullify
presidential declarations. However, with the GOP holding the Senate, lawsuits
will decide whether
the president can supplement the $1.4 billion authorized by Congress to build
55 miles of border fence by transferring Department of Defense funds to instead
build 234 miles of fence.
The NEA
does not define a national emergency. Instead that is spread over at least 470
statutory provisions. One states “the Secretary of Defense can ‘undertake
military construction projects … necessary to support such use of the armed
forces.’”
As
Justice Robert Jackson reminded in Youngstown v.
Sawyer (1952),
which overturned President Harry Truman’s nationalization of the steel industry
to support the Korean War effort, presidential
discretion is
at its peak when it acts with the support of Congress and “at its lowest ebb”
when it is “incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress.”
When the
Republicans controlled Congress, Trump could not get his wall built, and he
campaigned on the issue in 2018 and got shellacked. Now congressional House
Democrats have decided there is no pressing need for a wall.
The
president recognizes he will get pilloried in the lower courts but expects a
fair hearing in the Supreme Court. He should ponder Roberts’s ire regarding his
charges about the politicization of the courts—sometimes being right is not
enough.
For
Americans living in large prosperous cities, the influx of well-educated legal
immigrants, especially in STEM disciplines, are welcome, but many illegal
immigrants become burdens in the labor markets and on public services in Trump
country.
If Trump
fails to get his wall, the crisis at the border could easily become a mass
migration that imposes incalculable burdens on those Americans least able to
bear them.
