REALITY CHECK:
And the effects of said demographic headstand have touched every
corner of American life:
- Color by numbers in her
classrooms, where nonwhites now account for the majority of
the nation’s K-12 students in public schools
- 600 million dollars per
day spent on illegal immigration
- America’s shrinking working class, no
thanks to legal visa programs
- Student visa recipients
who overstay their welcome and compete with college-educated Americans for
work
- Rape, murder, and
robbery at per capita rates double to quadruple that of whites
- Welfare
dependency
- Demographically
disproportionate love for the Democrats, alone.
Tucker
Carlson Criticizes Joe Biden’s Ill-Considered Immigration Generosity
Sometimes it seems
extreme to accuse the left of supporting crazy Open Borders. But then some
major figure will put his foot right in it, as candidate Joe Biden did recently
when he said he would import two million poor foreigners immediately if elected
— because America is a sanctuary or something.
Old Joe
wants to give something away that doesn’t belong to him — residence in the
United States — and the American people’s choice of Donald Trump as president
in 2016 shows how many are sick of being the world’s welfare office.
Plus,
the world has changed enormously in recent decades. There are billions of poor people
in the Third World who would benefit from access to the goodies in America or Europe, but the
number of needy people is prohibitive.
What’s
also changed is the ease of getting here — from cheapie flights to leftist-organized
caravans from Central America to invade this country.
The best
thing for all concerned would be to end the immigration rescue mission
entirely, because even saving millions as candidate Biden desires would only be
a drop in the bucket and would further damage America with still more poor
foreigners. It would be better to promote microlending and similar
programs that help foreigners stay home and fix their own homelands.
Because
they can’t all come here.
Tucker
Carlson was unimpressed with Joe Biden’s generosity, as well as the continuing
anarchy on the border.
TUCKER CARLSON: Here in Washington our leaders spent the week
focused on the Middle East, on Iran, but out there in the rest of the country
there are plenty of more pressing tangible concerns. For example, many of our
cities are starting to fail. Infrastructure is aging, both crime and the cost
of living are surging, and left-wing prosecutors have stopped enforcing the
law. We will have more on all of that in Part Four of our America Dystopia
series in just a moment.
But for the leading presidential candidate, candidate Joe Biden of
Delaware, none of these problems matches what he believes is the greatest
crisis at all: America isn’t importing enough desperately poor people. That’s
his position.
In a tweet on January 5th, Biden lashed out at the president for
immigration policy, quote: “Our Statue of Liberty invites in the tired, the
poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. But Donald Trump has slammed
the door in the face of families fleeing persecution and violence.” End quote.
What a moralizer, that Joe Biden. Then just a few months ago,
Biden vowed if he becomes president, he will admit two million poor immigrants
overnight, and then increase that number from there. Watch.
JOE BIDEN: We can afford to take in a heartbeat another two
million people. The idea that a country of 330 million people cannot absorb
people who are in desperate need and who are justifiably fleeing oppression is
absolutely bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. I would also move to increase the total
number of immigrants able to come to the United States.
CARLSON: How many of those immigrants will be staying at Joe
Biden’s house, at Joe Biden’s expense? Hmm, zero, of course.
Biden’s view is our chief mission as a nation is to admit as many
poor people as we possibly can. The less impressive their country of origin, the less they
are able to contribute to this country, the more we want them. You are rich,
they are poor, therefore you must give them money, the right to vote, a
permanent home. And once have you done that, repeat.
Biden claims that’s our moral duty, that Donald Trump and anyone
else who shirks that duty is a racist.
But, is Trump shirking that duty? Is the basic claim even true?
It’s worth assessing — there’s so much lying.
So once again we go to the numbers. Here’s what they are. From
October 2018 to September of 2019, the Border Patrol apprehended 977,000 people
at the US-Mexico border. That’s the highest total in more than a decade and
more than the previous two years combined.
Now, keep in mind, that’s just people being caught at the southern
border. many more getting through without getting caught of course. And then
there are the tens or hundreds of thousands of others who enter legally but
then overstay visas.
These illegal immigrants tethering themselves here with millions
of anchor babies. That’s not a talking point, that’s a fact.
According to the Center for
Immigration Studies, for example, 372,000 children of illegal aliens were born
in this country just last year. Every one of them is now an American citizen,
and their parents are benefiting from a whole suite of benefits — food stamps,
medicaid, other programs.
Of course they won’t be deported now. Wonder how we got 22 million
illegal immigrants? That’s how.
So, by any actual measure, by
the data, illegal immigration is worse than it has been in a long time. But for
Joe Biden, it’s still not enough — 22 million illegals? Why not thirty million
or fifty million? And every one of them gets free healthcare paid for by you.
That’s his promise.
Is your country really so spectacularly rich that we can afford
this? And, of course you know the answer. We are not a rich country. We are
more than $20 trillion in debt. Our middle class is dying, in part because
immigrants willing to work for less have driven down wages.
It doesn’t make the immigrants bad. They are coming from
incredibly poor places with totally different standards of living. It’s
economic fact when you flood the labor pool with people willing to work for
less, wages go down, and that’s been going on for decades.
Not surprisingly, America’s most
immigrant-heavy state, California, is also the most impoverished. Many people
born in California can’t leave quickly enough — ask Idaho and Texas.
But Joe Biden says we need more. According to Biden, our country
is a sanctuary, must be a sanctuary for those fleeing violence. But because Joe
Biden knows nothing, he is not aware that some of America’s cities are deadlier
than the places those people are fleeing from.
For example, El Salvador.
One-third of all living Salvadorans live in this country now. But here are the
numbers. Salvador has 50 murders per 100,000 people. Last year Baltimore — not
a country, the city in Maryland — Baltimore had 51 per 100,000. In other words,
it’s more dangerous than El Salvador.
Baltimore clearly hasn’t benefited at all from America’s policy of
unlimited immigration. None of this matters because for people like Joe Biden
and the rest of this country’s ruling class, helping American citizens,
stopping being the point a long time ago. The point is getting re-elected and
feeling virtuous.
Well, speaking of, in 2018, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf got
national attention by warning illegal aliens in her city about impending
federal ICE raid.
MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF: It is a continued perpetuation of a racist lie
that immigrants are not valued members of our society. We in Oakland know
better. We in Oakland have a community that welcomes and honors all people, no
matter where they came from or how they got here.
CARLSON: Oh, she is an incredibly good person, unlike you, racist.
Thanks to Libby Schaaf’s efforts, several wanted criminals eluded ICE’s grasp
and Oakland became a top haven for illegal immigrants running from the law.
One of those immigrants has now taken a life. According to
police, Madisyn Alandra Suzanne
White-Carroll, was murdered by Roberto Martinez in a road rage
incident last month. By the time police had identified Martinez as the killer,
he had already fled the country.

Faith Goldy Video: Immigration Moratorium Redux!
No sane person is holding their breath for the resurgence
of flapper skirts or
a Harlem Renaissance redux
now that the globe’s hit the Roaring 20s 2.0, but there is one movement from America’s 1920s that her 2020s would do well to imitate: An immigration
moratorium. Despite what the ‘diversity is our strength’ Democrats and the
‘send us your cartels’ Statue of Liberty might
say, America actually has a long history of restricting immigration—and that history proves moratoriums
work!
Congressional leaders at the time were concerned about the large
influx of workers willing to do jobs on the cheap. However, the Act also made
more visas available to people from places like Britain and Western Europe. The
perception (and reality) was that the US had been settled primarily by Western European stock. Fast-forward to the 1920’s and nearly one-third of the
American population consisted of immigrants. Meantime, the birth rate among
immigrants suggested that their proportion of the population would only
continue to rise. (Hmm…
Undercutting homegrown wages while outbreeding America’s
parent culture… Sound familiar?)
The generation that immediately followed the Immigration Act—the
1940s and 50s—were met with only very minor immigration policy changes, and it
was during this period that America's Golden Age took place.
But then, in 1965—without a single ballot
being cast on the issue—an utterly transformative policy befell the American
people. Under pressure in part from the civil rights movement, Congress passed
the Immigration and Nationality Act, a.k.a. the Hart-Celler Act. The Act
eliminated the quota system based on nationality and instead prioritized
immigrants who already had family members in the US, while also offering
protection for so-called refugees. Instead of sourcing immigrants from Europe,
most immigrants to the US by the end of the 20th century originated from Latin
America, Asia, and Africa—and in far greater numbers.
Despite assurances by Hart-Celler advocates that the bill would add little to the immigrant stream,
more than seven million newcomers entered the country legally during the 1980s
alone, while that trend has only increased up until today. Meanwhile, illegal
immigration began its decades-long surge, as culturally cancerous policies
like: DACA, amnesty, dirt-right citizenship, tech overclass visas with pathways
to Green Cards, and the diversity lottery, not to mention the lack of a
substantial Southern Border Wall have only served to hasten America’s
demographic headstand.
And the effects of said demographic headstand have touched every
corner of American life:
- Color by numbers in her
classrooms, where nonwhites now account for the majority of
the nation’s K-12 students in public schools
- 600 million dollars per
day spent on illegal immigration
- America’s shrinking working class, no
thanks to legal visa programs
- Student visa recipients
who overstay their welcome and compete with college-educated Americans for
work
- Rape, murder, and
robbery at per capita rates double to quadruple that of whites
- Welfare
dependency
- Demographically
disproportionate love for the Democrats, alone.
This, as non-Hispanic white Americans are forecasted to become a
minority in America come 2050. Thus, should current
trends continue, Republicans will never be able to win a presidential election
ever again—thanks to legal (not just illegal) immigration!
Why are Republicans afraid to discuss this? Are they expected to
just commit suicide?
And don’t kid yourself: Trump’s Immigration Plan will only delay
America’s demographic tailspin by a maximum of 5 years. Which is precisely why
only an immigration moratorium will yield meaningful results in the ongoing
rapid reshaping of America’s character and culture. And while Trump has
breathed life into the cause of immigration skepticism in Washington, it’s
unlikely that he’s going to be the guy to propose and push for a
moratorium.
Luckily, a new generation of insurgent Republican Congressional
candidates understand desperate times call for desperate measures. Take Jarome Bell, of Virginia’s second congressional district, who’s calling for
a complete moratorium on all immigration—including the legal variety! Or Peter
D’Abrosca whose short campaign
achieved tremendous success, taking his message of zero net immigration on to
Fox News primetime, before North Carolina’s State Board egregiously had his
name removed from the ballot. And then there’s Joshua Foxworth, running in Texas’s 14th Congressional
District. Foxworth wants to end
Guest Worker visa programs, build the wall, eliminate the diversity visa lottery and
chain migration, and told VDARE.com that he, too, backs an immigration
moratorium.
These pro-moratorium Congressional candidates aren’t racists or
radicals. They’re patriots, taking cues from their ancestors. Americans
throughout history have understood demographics
is destiny and have taken muscular policy action to secure
their future. President Trump didn’t bring immigration skepticism to America,
he just reminded folks of a conversation they’d already been having for over a
century—before the political class told us it was forbidden.
