The population implosion

 A couple featured in the NYTimes live in separate homes and do not have children.  Americans are not reproducing themselves and will eventually die out as a result.  The invasion of people crossing the Southern border could replace the children Americans are not having.  The problem is that the South American birth rate is only slightly above 2, which is not good enough.  However, the invasion is not just South Americans but also trekkers from Africa, where women have an average of 4.2 children. 

Demographics is destiny.  One of the reasons Russia is having military problems is that they are short of men.  Their fertility rate is 1.6, which means they are dying out and lack the manpower for sustained war.   They’re drafting retirees to fight.

The American fertility rate is roughly the same: 1.6.  This is not a big problem for today’s retirees.  But it is for people in their 20s or 30s who may want to retire and collect their social security benefits.  Sub-Saharan Africa has by far the highest fertility rate. If current trends continue, my grandchildren may depend on the benevolence of the grandchildren of Africans crossing the Southern border, who will continue to spend enough time together to reproduce.

Forget about global warming.  The end of Western Civilization will come from ideas born on the pages of the NY Times.

If you want secure borders, not open borders, the Virginia Pilot calls you "Protective, fearful, defensive"

 Kris Worrell runs the paper, and Brian Colligan is in charge of the opinion pages.  

Here's how they view you: you're despicable.

Shorter version: the reason millions of illegal immigrants are walking across the Mexican border and disappearing in your city has nothing to do with Biden's putting out the welcome mat.  But because Congress has not made everybody who wants to come here American citizens.  

Pilot Headline: No fix for immigration

Congressional inaction allowed Florida’s DeSantis to exploit desperate migrants.

[Millions of people simply walk across the border since Biden's election, but Worrell and Colligan blame Congress.  DeSantis took them to a liberal enclave that claimed to be a sanctuary for migrants but who quickly sent them away.]

The United States models itself as a country of immigrants, a great melting pot. Throughout its history it has welcomed people fleeing religious and political persecution, those in fear of war or violence or starvation, and those seeking lives of freedom and opportunity.

[Actually, none of this is true, but the Left is not good at history]

As much as this country is a physical state with defined borders, it is also an idea — a shining city on a hill, a beacon of liberty, a golden door. Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, says Lady Liberty as she greets new arrivals in New York Harbor.

[A country without borders is not a country.  The Statue of Liberty is not part of American law.]

But there’s always been the other side of America. Protective, fearful, defensive. America should be for Americans, they say, as if a child has a choice as to where he or she is born. Close the golden door, extinguish the beacon, pull up the ladder to those grasping at its bottom rungs. Build the wall.

[The Pilot doesn't think that America should put Americans first.  If you believe otherwise, you are evil incarnate according to Worrell and Colligan]

These two oppositional forces are not new — not at all — but the desperate people massing at our doorstep throughout the last decade have amplified that division. Those already inside the country illegally and who want to be a part of this country’s future wonder if America wants them, or only their labor.

[Question: do you want an unlimited number of people coming to America?  Because almost everyone who is not here wants to come here.  A question for Worrell and Colligan, is there a limit?  Can they come and stay are your house?]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t the first American official to use vulnerable migrants as pawns for selfish political grandstanding. Stoking fear about immigrants is a nativist tale as old as time and DeSantis is simply the latest to wield that cudgel.

[Worrell and Colligan and their colleagues in the corporate press were way ahead of DeSantis to use immigrants as pawns.  If you would like to have some say about who comes to this country, you are a "nativist" and are "stoking fear."]

By sending a group of Venezuelans refugees to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, reportedly without their consent and possibly in violation of the law, DeSantis focused the nation’s attention on immigration.

[It is a stunning indictment of Worrell and Colligan that the millions of illegal migrants flooding our border have been hidden from the American people by the press until now.  Shameful.]

Will it stir a great national conversation on the issue? Honestly, it should. But will such a debate lead to rational, workable and effective solutions? That’s a steep hill to climb, for while both Republicans and Democrats agree something should be done, they disagree sharply about what.

Democrats want the nation to be welcoming of migrants, to formalize the status of the estimated 10 million undocumented people here, to provide a pathway for citizenship and expand visa programs that allow foreign nationals to come here for employment.

[Democrats are good guys.] 

In contrast, Republicans want to wall off the Southern border to halt migration from Central and South America, reduce the numbers of available visas and, per the party’s 2016 platform, reduce the number of naturalized citizens the country accepts each year.

[Repuiblicans are evil.] 

That’s a stark change from only 15 years ago, when President George W. Bush proposed an immigration compromise that would have provided a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the country, greatly expanded access for guest workers and significantly expanded border security measures through the deployment of new technology and the hiring of tens of thousands of new border patrol officers.

Virginia played a pivotal role in scuttling that plan. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor helped champion the president’s plan, only for voters in the 7th District Republican primary to toss him out of Congress. His opponent, Dave Brat, smeared the proposal as “amnesty for illegals.”

Expecting President Joe Biden to solve this problem himself is absurd, as it was to ask his predecessors to do so. The failure here is Congress, which needs to take responsibility for the issue and draft comprehensive legislation that addresses undocumented immigrants living here, provides the resources to care for and thoughtfully address migrants coming here, that expands visa programs for guest workers and, yes, strengthens border security.

[No.  The problem is Biden's decision to allow an uncontrolled surge of millions of people from all over the world to simply walk into the country.  That is the first and most critical issue that must be addressed. All other questions can wait.]

But it should be a policy rooted in compassion and in the belief that this nation should be a refuge from oppression, violence and fear. Immigrants have been instrumental to this country’s growth and prosperity, our defense and our endurance. To demonize them — as Americans throughout history have gleefully done — is to ignore that they are essential threads in the national fabric.

[It is cruel and desperately evil to encourage millions of people to begin a mass migration with the promise that once they get over the border, they can stay.  On the way here, thousands die, thousands are raped and abused, migrants are extorted by cartels who demand money to bring them over the border, and hundreds of thousands of Americans are murdered by fentanyl brought in by the drug cartels who use the migration as a way of bringing their killer drugs here.  The Biden open borders policy is a great crime against humanity.

This is the reality that Worrell and Colligan do not want you to know.  They are handmaids of evil.]  

To treat desperate people so cruelly, as DeSantis did, is reprehensible. But until Congress does its job, there will be more like him who follow and who will do worse.

[DeSantis did the American people a favor by forcing the press to actually acknowledge the crisis.  He chartered two planes to fly 50 illegal migrants to one of the richest, most Liberal enclaves in the country, a community that labeled itself as a "sanctuary city."  This so-called sanctuary city called in the National Guard to expel the migrants within 48 hours of their arrival.  Worrell and Colligan, and the rich snobs of Martha's Vineyard are heartless, soulless creatures who are good at virtue signaling but want nothing to do with the actual human beings who look to them for help.]

Thrust of this NYT story is Biden's border policies have been so disastrous that White House aides were secretly relieved when SCOTUS ordered them to reinstate Trump's Remain In Mexico policy. https://t.co/xBtczSzbpN pic.twitter.com/e4i6ot6EJz

The Responsibility is Yours

 

Biden's a victim of Alzheimer's.  What's going on now, for little girls being kidnapped as sex slaves, for people being tortured in Afghanistan, for Americans trapped there with no way out, for inflation destroying the lives of old and poor people, for our energy dependency on the Muslim oil-producing states and Russia, for skyrocketing murders in inner cities devoid of police, for COVID’s (and crime’s, especially sex crime’s) spread through America cities as the illegal aliens pouring in from across the world are joined by Afghans.  THAT'S ON YOU!

Biden Administration Contemplates Travel Restrictions on Florida While Releasing 1,000 Illegal Border Crossers in Past Week

 The usurpation of our constitutional republic continues at a staggering rate.  The latest display of leftist policy in action finds the Biden administration considering travel restrictions upon Florida due to COVID while releasing over 1,000 illegal border-crossers into the U.S. without concern for the pandemic spread.

Babylon Bee: "Migrant Caravan Mysteriously Disappears But Leaves Behind Cool Wooden Horse"

 

U.S./MEXICO BORDER—The migrant caravan headed for the U.S. has been the center of much controversy, but the problem seems to have solved itself, as the entire caravan has mysteriously disappeared.

In other, unrelated, good news, there's now a really cool-looking giant wooden horse sitting right at the U.S. border, fresh for the taking.

You know who inspired the El Paso shooter?

The Democrats who advocate open borders, giving illegal immigrants free health care and free college educations  paid for by struggling American workers living paycheck to paycheck.    

Ann Coulter: How we became the world's suckers on immigration

Looking at our immigration policies compared to the rest of the world, you'd think America lost a bet.

The United States is one of only two developed countries in the world (the other is Canada, and even it has some restrictions we don't have) with full "birthright citizenship," meaning that any child born when his mother was physically present within the geographical borders of the U.S. automatically gets a U.S. birth certificate and a Social Security card.

That means legal immigrants, pregnant women sneaking in on tourist visas, travelers on a three-week vacation, cheap foreign workers on "temporary" visas and, in some cases, foreign diplomats.

There are laws on the books that say the kids born to diplomats don't automatically become citizens simply by being born here but - like so many of our immigration laws - these are treated as mere suggestions.

And that's not all.

We're the only country but two that confers automatic citizenship on children born to illegal aliens, or "anchor babies." This is not "birthright citizenship," which refers to children born to legal immigrants. (There's nothing vulgar, bigoted, racial or sexual about the term "anchor baby." It's a boating metaphor: A geographical U.S. birth "anchors" the child's entire family in this country by virtue of the baby's citizenship.)

The other two countries that grant citizenship to anchor babies are Canada and Tanzania. Canada doesn't have Latin America on its border, of course - and Tanzania is reconsidering the policy.

I, Immigrant, Agree With Donald Trump — If You Are Not Happy Here, You Can Leave!

I agree.

Let’s summarize the Democrat’s immigration position

Let’s summarize the Democrat’s immigration position:

-no border wall
-no asylum reform
-decriminalize illegal border crossings
-never enforce deportation orders

Seriously, ask yourself: is that your position?

Most Americans say no.

Trump Puts Democrats Between A Rock And A Hard Place On Illegal Immigration

The Democratic argument of “open borders, let everyone in” while proclaiming heavily-blue areas “sanctuary cities” is all about virtue signaling, not reality. If it were about reality, Governor Gavin Newsom of California and Mayor Jenny Durkan of Seattle and Senator Spartacus Booker would be throwing their arms open to take in all the illegals they could get. But instead, Trump has exposed them as hypocrites of the basest kind – those willing to exploit the hopes and dreams of one group by throwing the responsibility for it on the backs of those who don’t agree with them.

Chicks on the Right

Jerry was clearly trying to spin this but ultimately why wouldn’t Democrats want illegal immigrants to be safely relocated to sanctuary cities? They’ve been telling us for years how evil Trump is to keep them ‘caged’ at the border, and they’ve also told us how beneficial illegal immigrants are to communities so what’s the big deal?

Nolte: Univision Anchor Tells Border Agents to Dodge Rocks Rather than Ask for Wall

“Well, it’s always a good thing when we can keep border patrol agents, federal agents safer,” Acevedo replied. “I would just ask you, Martha, is it worth $25 billion to keep people 100, 200, 300 yards away from the border to throwing rocks at agents on the other side when you just do this [Acevedo then physically ducked out of camera range]. Is that worth $25 billion?”

McCallum could hardly believe it.

“They should dodge the rocks?” she asked. “You think they should just dodge the rocks?”

“I’m not saying that,” he said, even though that was exactly what he was saying.

If liberals insist that only fascists will enforce borders, then voters will hire fascists to do the job liberals refuse to do.

Even The Atlantic is beginning to see a problem with American immigration policy. 

For example: Why economic measurement of the effect of immigration on poor Americans is wrong.

From an economic point of view, immigration is good because it encourages specialization and thus efficiency. In a low-immigration world, an American accountant might have to pay $25 or $30 an hour for yard services by American-born landscapers. At that price, she might choose to do the yard work herself. If higher immigration lowers the price of landscaping work to $10 to $12 an hour, she may hire a landscaper and devote her newfound free time to extra accounting work. Instead of leaving the office at 5 p.m. to cook dinner for her family, she can stay until 6 o’clock and order from Postmates as she drives home. Or she can buy more services than she otherwise would. A lower bid from an immigrant-employing contractor might allow her to renovate her kitchen this year rather than postponing it to next year.

But all of this only happens because lower-earning immigrants displace the Americans who used to do the work at higher costs. You may ask, “So what happens to those displaced Americans?” The economist’s answer is that, pressed by immigrant competition, displaced American workers are driven to “upskill.” Perhaps a former landscaper learns some Spanish, and thus can act as the foreman of a crew of immigrants. Perhaps he shifts to sales or design work. Either way, the economic models say, everybody is better off.

You may further ask, “Does this really happen? Don’t at least some displaced American workers end up unemployed or underemployed, unable to find work at anything close to their old wage level? Aren’t both American-born men and American-born women of prime working age less likely to work today than in the 1990s?”

Yes, all of that is true. But when workers quit the workforce, they disappear from the statistical samples on which the economic models are built. Labor-force statistics count only those in the labor force. If an American-born landscaper successfully upskills to foreman, his higher pay is recorded and measured. If an American-born landscaper retires early on a disability benefit, his lower income is not recorded and not measured. From a labor economist’s perspective, he has ceased to exist. Immigration’s economic costs and benefits will be calculated without reference to him.

Latest caravans from El Salvador, Honduras start treks to U.S.

Not a problem say Dems.   Importing more voters.

With illegals flipping elections now, Democrats' opposition to a wall is all about their grip on power

Well, yeah.  that much has been obvious for a long time.  And it has the MSM seal of approval.

Mexico is closing their border… with Guatemala

Jazz Shaw:

If we can somehow eliminate most of the illegal immigration flowing through Mexico and into the United States from points further south, we’re only left to deal with the Mexicans who want to jump the border. And if AMLO is able to provide more support on his side of our border in that regard, we might finally begin getting a handle on this situation.

Trump repels alien invasion

The Virginia Pilot reminds us that Trump was alone in standing against the thousands of Central American invaders who attempted to storm the American border illegally.

Via the scare headline:  U.S. to Begin Pulling Troops from Trump's Border Mission they remind us that Democrats, the Press and the Virginian Pilot (but I repeat myself) were all on the side of the would-be invaders.

Thanks to  President Trump,  the U.S. military and the border patrol, they did not succeed..

Census confirms: 63 percent of ‘non-citizens’ on welfare, 4.6 million households

A majority of “non-citizens,” including those with legal green card rights, are tapping into welfare programs set up to help poor and ailing Americans, a Census Bureau finding that bolsters President Trump’s concern about immigrants costing the nation.
