The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Let's pretend that these data are passingly accurate, even though we all know that the number of illegals is far higher than any census measures.

It is still a catastrophe, and will be the end of America as we know it if it continues.

Of course I am a racist. And a bigot. And a White Supremacist. And a Christian Nationalist. And any other silly pejorative that the left uses to describe people who have emotional connections to American Exceptionalism, Western culture, and the incredible success of Judeo-Christian philosophy.

Now that we have gotten the obligatory ad hominem out of the way...

Border Crisis Has Completely Upended Census Bureau's Population Stats, Report Says

Immigration into the U.S. has risen so rapidly that it beat out federal projections by decades, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released on Thursday.
The total number of immigrants in the U.S. rose to a record high of 51.4 million as of February 2024, representing 15.5% of the total population,according to CIS. The U.S. Census Bureau published projections in November which estimated that the share of foreign-born nationals in the U.S. would not reach 15.5% until at least 2039, making the projections “obsolete,” CIS authors Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler wrote.
The 15.5% includes both immigrants who are in the U.S. legally and those who are undocumented or are in the country illegally, according to a CIS review of the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). Illegal migrants account for roughly 25% of the 51.4 million total number of foreign nationals currently living in the U.S., the other 75% being in the country legally.

The issue is not the color of the immigrants. The issue is their lack of dedication to the founding principles of our country. For most of our history, immigration to America was a privilege, and a very difficult one to enjoy. Getting out of Sweden or Germany or Italy or Russia or Poland or Ireland or Scotland was not easy. Getting to our shores was not easy. Creating a life in America was not easy. But it was the great unifier...everyone who came here was sent through that filter, knowing that they were expected to create a life for themselves, and to add value to the growing nation. There were no handouts, not safety nets, no government largesse. But that was the first powerful message that we were all in it together. The upside was that there were no limitations. The young Scottish immigrant who arrived on our shores in 1848 could rise to the pinnacle of the American steel industry. Or a Bavarian Jew arriving in in 1847 could create Levi Strauss. Or a Viennese beauty, with brains to match, could arrive in 1937 and become a movie star and an inventor!

The list goes on forever. We are at least in part a nation of immigrants, but the dynamic has changed, and the drive to come here is purely economic and self-serving in a way that is new and destructive. Instead of desiring the economic, social and political freedom that America offers, our new immigrants come for the money...our money! Legal immigration is a drop in the bucket compared to the flood of illegals pouring into the country. Those legal immigrants are playing by the rules, but many are still arriving for the looting of our treasuries rather than the desire to create...to belong...to build.

What is the answer? Obviously we must close our borders to the lawbreakers who come to loot and pillage. But sadly we must also close the legal methods of becoming an American. That system is broken, and absent a compelling reason, complete with financial resources that guarantee that the immigrant is not a ward of the state, Americas gates must be shut.

For a generation? Probably. Until we have two consecutive conservative federal governments that are serious about closing the border and driving out the invaders by making it economically impossible for them to squat here, we cannot afford the luxury of immigration of any type.

It is a simple task, but requires political fortitude and the support of the country.

1. Close the border.
2. Make the employment of an illegal alien a felony, with jail time and huge fines.
3. Tax outgoing funds to the top 10 countries that supply illegals.
4. Require positive identification for all taxpayer transfer payments and services.

What else? That covers most of the issues. Will there be problems? Sure. But we have no choice.

This is the existential problem of our lifetimes.

When we resurrect the Constitution, I think we should add what I call a "no-public-dole" amendment. That is, the Federal government cannot give money to individuals except as salaries, payment for goods received and services performed, and as compensation for a taking. Also, a court-ordered judgment if it is found liable in a lawsuit. AND THAT'S IT.

You're not really asking, right?
Muslims will stay and try and take over using the US Constitution to subvert the US Constitution, because it is written into their belief system (politics of murder and mayhem masquerading as a religion).

When they have a certain percentage (I've read 15%) they will start implementing Sharia law. They already are far along in the EU and England.
Bringing the muslims in wholesale as the Dems are currently will get to that 15% soon.

Instead of a party run by chiseling, lazy mercantilists, grifting from the government, conservative only as to taxes on them.

Consider what the state of immigration would be if they ran actual outreach efforts to Hispanics--in Spanish--not just exposing the moral evil that the Democrats are, but real conservative positions.
The border will be sealed tight when, and only when, Hispanics start voting for Republicans.

Trump is reaching them. And they hate him for it.

88 1. Close the border.
2. Make the employment of an illegal alien a felony, with jail time and huge fines.
3. Tax outgoing funds to the top 10 countries that supply illegals.
4. Require positive identification for all taxpayer transfer payments and services.
++++
I'd modify point 3, and expand it.

Tax remittances, but do so to *all* countries in our hemisphere except Canada - the *one* country that is not (yet) a conduit for or source of illegal aliens. Collective punishment. The entire region can get its shit together and knock it off, or the entire region will be punished for it. Make them turn on each other. Chile and Argentina are not big sources of the problem, but if the spigots get cut off, they're sure going to get pissed at - and apply pressure to - Guatemala and Venezuela and Mexico.

And make that tax punitive, say 75% of all sums under $100,000. Business transfers - which will tend to be big - can proceed. Some cartel transfers will slip through, too. But overall, the final end-recipient value of remittances will collapse under a punitive tax rate. So make it punitive, and apply to *everyone* in the hemisphere until the behavior changes.

147 It took me 8 years and a lot of money to get a green card. I don't resent being vetted and having to prove I was not a criminal, was in good health and could support myself and not be a burden on or threat to the USA. I am beyond frustrated that one can just waltz into the country and get a cash card from the government. Why would they not come? Now they will probably vote because nothing and no one will stop them. I'm sure if I voted, I'd be out on my ass. I do get to pay taxes, however.

150 In music, literature, art, film etc., I'm extremely North American and European centric. It's what I like, and it's not a fucking crime. But I've now been told that it is, that that preference is racism, that it's basically white supremacy to not prefer the culture of the third-world. So since the 1990's the powers-that-be have basically been in the process of delegitimzing anything and everything that isn't properly reflective of our new third-world cultural superiors. The change in the music scene alone in the past 20 years, in all genres, has been staggering.

162 "The issue is not the color of the immigrants. The issue is their lack of dedication to the founding principles of our country."

Ok, I'll be the one to say it: it's the same fucking thing. It is the issue of the color of skin. Not in a racist way but in a reality way. The most troublesome immigrants -- legal and illegal -- are from countries with histories and values completely alien to ours. And those countries are overwhelmingly home to swarthy people.

And it's not just the poor Hispanics or blacks. It's the affluent tech (dot) Indians. It's the Muslim Africans coming to study here. Literally every darker-skinned immigrant is a problem, regardless of their skills or income level. They are coming from completely alien political and economic systems, and are bringing that dysfunctional (mosty commie) shit here.

For me, I am very much pro immigration - when done legally. I am a first generation American on my mother’s side. I don’t care about the color or the persons skin, which I get is now in and of itself racist for some dumb reason. I care the person wants to come and build a life, do something worthwhile, believes in American exceptionalism in their heart. I honestly wonder if those on the left are excited they have gotten so many in Europe to believe their garbage and hate America. So now those pouring in illegally are just not any country’s best.

Seems it took the word, immigrant, and twisted it so it's all inclusive covering both legal and illegal immigration.

(The White nationalists just hate the current immigrants, our New Americans. They don't look or act like them, nor have not had their advantages. It was OK for their families to immigrant to the USA in the past but it's not been OK for those coming afterwards, especially those who are POC. But those people are global citizens, part of civil society, and this is the United States a beacon of Democracy.)

Ask the pols to explain the difference between Temporary Protected Status; Special Student Relief for Students; Dreamer status; Statelessness and TPS; actual Refugee status numbers; actual Asylee status numbers; Humanitarian Parole & what nations have been granted it & what it does and won't provide to participants, and current benefits available to ALL above through a sundry of US programs. Ask when statuses can change, i.e., families have children born in the US, etc. They couldn't. But they know redistribution.
