The Biden presidency isn’t even completely past year one and it is already giving Jimmy Carter a run for his money.
The insincere handling of the media, the fumbled failing of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, don’t even get me started about gas and grocery prices. It’s already insulting enough that Hunter Biden is selling his “artwork” for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but now we’re arguing about the basic safety of the American public.
Wax poetically all you want, but if the government should have one single, definitive role, it should be to defend our nation’s borders so that our citizens can rest quietly and go about their lives in a proper civil society.
Case in point, the mass migration surges such as the Haitian incursion into the Del Rio landing show that the immigration question is not going away.
James P. Pinkerton from Breitbart published a piece recently really nailing down how this specific area of policy is dragging Biden’s popularity into the dirt, saying:
Illegal immigration—or, as Democrats prefer to call it, migration—has surged this year. As to the recent origins of the problem, former secretary of state Mike Pompeo was succinct: “Joe Biden undid Remain in Mexico, stopped the construction of the border wall and every policy we had in place to combat the crisis at the southern border. He created this crisis at the southern border.”
For further perspective on the international movement of peoples, we might think back to a 2018 Gallup Poll, which found that 15 percent of the world’s adults—that’s more than 750 million people, plus, of course, their families—would migrate if they could. Their preferred destination? The United States, of course.
Immigration is a political weapon used by the Left to ensure electoral hegemony and easy profits for its corporate paymasters. Woke corporations advocate for “cultural enrichment” but in reality undercut American workers with cheaper migrant labor. When the Democratic Party during the Trump years began to see a larger shift among black and Latino voters towards the GOP, they understood that their grip on these minority communities were fading, so they had to begin importing a new subclass of ethnic migrants into the nation in order to replace the previous groups that were not longer playing ball at the voting booth reliably.
With the realignment taking place in the Republican Party between America First supporters and corporate-obsessed neoliberals helping the Democrats open up our borders even more, it’s incumbent upon the current generation of leaders to embrace immigration restriction and crack down on the anarchy at our southern border.
But what about the attacks from the mainstream media and the usual suspects? Will the GOP flinch again when undoubtedly they get attacked with accusations of racism for uttering anything not remotely positive about illegal immigration? Hispanics surveyed in a 2020 poll that the Washington Post and University of Maryland found that 69% of Hispanics supported stopping all immigration, both legal and illegal, in circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in China, and was brought overseas because access to travel was not stopped soon enough at the end of 2019 when cases of COVID-19 began to infect those in the United States.
There’s actually a strong tradition of labor protectionism within the Hispanic population a la Cesar Chavez, so there’s not as much resistance towards immigration restriction among Hispanics who have lived here for decades, if not centuries already.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and Fox News host Tucker Carlson talking about the electoral impacts of migration is a good first step and are examples of conservatives pointing out the terribly obvious boldly because our elected leaders won’t. For the Republican Party to survive electorally, it will need to look to one of its most unheralded presidents in Calvin Coolidge, who implemented an immigration moratorium that promoted assimilation and protected American workers and America’s national character.
The question is: Will the GOP get a clue?
Thank you for pointing out the real reason for the current immigration surge: that is, that 2016 and 2020 scared the daylights out of the Democrats because the people they thought they had in the bag, started displaying signs of independent cognitive activity and started turning towards the Democrats' opponents. I think the GOP could carve out even more of the "ethnic" vote but the question I have is who is helping GOP organizers better understand and reach out to those groups? As I understand it, the GOP is notoriously lazy and ambivalent about blacks and Hispanics, with the recent Senate election in Georgia a prime example. Who's working to drive the GOP towards making overtures to these voters? I for one would much prefer the type of right wing positions more common in Ibero-America (such as Bolsonaro's aggressiveness towards the LGBT agenda) than the milquetoast crap that passes for conservativism in the US. We're going to need a harder line if we're going to have any kind of future.
