While we’re not perfect at living out our faith, the U.S. is still a majority Christian nation. As Christians, we’re called to recognize the dignity of every human life. So, yes, we should show compassion to immigrants. But that compassion doesn’t mean we have to open the floodgates indiscriminately.
My in-laws came from Honduras under the worst conditions, worked hard, and contributed to this country. They’re frustrated to see people exploiting the system, which undermines their sacrifices. This isn’t about paranoia; it’s about facing reality. In the UK, the government has jailed people over social media posts, and
excessive accommodations for Muslims are prevalent. It’s not about discrimination, it’s about protecting what makes a culture unique and cohesive.
Christian or not, we must to balance compassion with prudence. Welcoming people is a good thing, but not at the expense of our values and social fabric. We have to draw a line and ensure those coming in are willing to respect and integrate into our way of life.
We can’t afford to be naive. We have to defend our faith, our families, and our future. It’s not about rejecting people; it’s about preserving the values and principles that make us who we are. If we lose that, we lose everything and I fear we are well on our way without a hard stop.
People like your in-laws are untouchables to today's Democrats. Productive immigrants who are outspoken against illegal troublemakers are to be avoided at all costs. Only the elites are allowed to tell the proles how to think, speak, and behave.
My in-laws bust their asses every day to contribute and live out solid values, only to get sidelined for political theater. You’re right—the elites control the narrative, and anyone challenging it gets shut down. COVID was a wake-up call: we saw just how quickly people roll over and accept being told what to do and think. It’s beyond a travesty—it’s a warning.
Just about every week since 2019, First Diversity Staffing Group Inc. has shuttled vulnerable Haitian migrants in unmarked white Ford and Chevy vans from Florida to Ohio, where they are allegedly exploited for cheap labor by companies like Dole Food Company Inc. It is a secretive and sinister operation that has gone unchecked for more than five years. The mastermind behind this scheme lives in a $1.35 million mansion on Pawleys Plantation Court. His name is George Ten, but in that underworld, his nickname is "King George," because of his opulent lifestyle of luxury cars, cash handouts and fast-talk. For years, he has operated his reign of alleged exploitation openly and freely out of a former mansion on E. High Street.

Cui Bono? Who benefits?
Look, each migrant generates a lot of cashflow. There is the cashflow for their welfare, state provided medical care, education, rent and food assistance, etc.
Many of the local "republican" politicians get rich off the migrants, as do religious "charities".
"Eds and Meds" remains much of what the welfare state does, and the providers of Eds and Meds get rich off headcount.
The locals that aren't cued into these revenue steams rarely benefit as much, and of case those of us that pay for it (usually at the state and federal level) are on the hook for it all.
It is almost as if the leftists, weary of the mid-20th century legacies of fairness in civil rights matters, determined to import their very own slave class to service them and advance their causes.
The left abhors poverty and at all times Is committed to living in luxury while its pawns work themselves to death.
How is it that a substantial portion of these arrivals are not challenged as human trafficking defies reason and certain lays to rest any notions of 'compassion' attaching to the new migrations.
And yet, on reflection, given that the left controls the prosecutorial functions,it is no surprise that there are no prosecutions to be had.
King George needs to "wake up dead" some morning... soon. Too bad we can't do the same to the U. N. Secretary General, who is up to his eyeballs in this deviltry. We can put him in prison for life though.
Even more basic than that. Immigration should be a controlled, deliberative process. You just don’t throw open the doors to anyone, including criminals and terrorists. You set immigration targets, allow people to apply, vet their application and then approve their application. It ain’t rocket surgery/
Mr. Rufo calls assimilating 15K Haitians "a transformative challenge". Did the taxpaying citizens of Springfield vote to accept this challenge? Or was fundamental transformation thrust upon them by progressive one-worlders, led in this nation by Barack Obama and his financial supporters?
In Springfield (and across this nation) It is likely more difficult to get a zoning change approved on a single property, than it is to be made to accept 15K folks from a radically different foreign culture. Where does our Constitution provide for this?
Exactly! Our Constitution did not and does not provide for illegal migration into this country. The rule of law in our unique democratic republic (we are not a "democracy") is formed by consensus in a citizen's referendum - a vote and not by a select few. The "few" in this case could be some manufacturers and businesses strictly for profit motive of cheaper labor. Or, the few more than likely are the same but with One World Globalist interests. In our society, there is no provision or exception for a short term massive infiltration of one culture into this country. In any case, Rome learned this a little too late!
I am not sure that "the taxpaying citizens of Springfield" voted in a majority for this problem. There can be no other legitimate excuse for what has happened there. The semi-veiled and true intention of this illegal activity has been to radically overwhelm our values and culture.
Help me out. Weren't the 15K Haitians legal and also invited by local businesses to work in Springfield? I don't think these people were thrust upon the community. Otherwise I agree with the premise that absorbing 15,000 newcomers into a 60K community is beyond challenging.
I would like more clarity on this. Their "legal" status was not established by the usual immigration procedures (which I went through myself as a legal green card applicant), involving criminal background checks, AIDS test, TB test, and other health screenings prior to being granted entry into the US. From what I understand, they were quickly processed under a special scheme to allow them to work in the US. I believe the Democrats are starting to blur the definition of "legal immigrant" so as to allow many more unvetted immigrants into the country. Now we are getting TB and AIDS, and probably other communicable disease, outbreaks as those checks have not been carried out.
That is an interesting question. They are one of four nations whose people came in on planes after completing the app. If TDS STATUS WAS GIVEN WITHOUT meeting Immigration criteria, that would be breaking the law if an immigration ALJ let it slide. I have the sense that many recent immigrants have actually been brought it to replace the more expensive American, widening the wealth gap.
There's no evidence that HIV/AIDS or TB significantly spiked in Springfield, Ohio, because of Haitian immigrants. Conjecture is not science. The old white supremacist playbook is tired. Many of the poor white people in Springfield, Ohio, receive government assistance. They are too lazy to work. The Haitian migrants have proven that they are willing to work harder for less compensation. And they show up on time for their jobs.
I never said those diseases had spiked in Springfield. It was a general comment that these diseases have occurred elsewhere and that there is increased risk. Why do normal vetting procedures include these disease screenings if they are not important?
People who resort to responding with ad hominem attacks do not have empirical arguments. They're speaking out of their asses (reciprocation) for an ignorant asshole.
A lot of folks rightly believe that the Left has pulled out all of the "stops" to illegal migration solely to manipulate the federal election process in their favor. It is easy understand this because 1) they have themselves declared they must win elections "by whatever means possible" and, 2) the undisputable fact that the 2020 election was a landslide in favor of Trump until sometime in the early morning on the day after election. In the middle of the night did election oficials in swing states "find" more votes for Biden than the numbers indicated?
You can screech “wacist, WACIST!” All you want, but please keep in mind that black Americans live in Springfield and they aren’t happy about this invasion, either.
I doubt a large percentage are now employed in any job at all except maybe crime. And bringing in low-cost labor is abusive to everyone involved. There is a reason Haiti has not gone anywhere except into the gutter in 400 years of self-rule. That should be highly cautionary.
The French put Haiti into debt by demanding reparations for its freedom. After the successful slave revolt in Haiti, the United States refused to recognize Haiti as a sovereign country, which also had a negative impact on the Haitian economy. It's important to note that propaganda isn't science.
That’s low, since you don’t know the demographic composition of the town prior to the 20K new arrivals. Were those of age holding the jobs in town, but replaced by lower wage earners?
The Haitians were not "thrust upon" the community; they were invited BY CERTAIN POLITICIANS AND BUSINESS OWNERS. The taxpaying citizenry at large were not consulted.
The same thing is going on in Charleroi, PA (near Pittsburgh). There is an NGO involved, along with a handful of politicians (and likely the local CofCs as well).
Why would local businesses invite an influx of 15,000 people to a town of less than 60,000 people? Did a massive factory just open in Springfield and they're having a hard time finding enough workers? I wasn't aware that the town was so prosperous.
For decades, the United States has allowed Haitians in as refugees, due to floods, wars, and fires. Refugee status is legal status. So the fact that the journalist wrote about 2019 Haitians in Florida brought to Ohio is not unusual. I do not recall any war, flood or fire in the last 4 years that would enable them to be given legal status and work authorization. So it may be 2 separate populations.

Excellent question. Likely up to the states - to enact laws that protect them for Fed financing of NGOs operating in the state against the wishes of the electorate.... or something more comprehensive. Do not know, I do not understand the mechanics, but there are likely actions states can do to orotect themselves from Fed financed NGOs and the other ways the Fed imposes its wishes (outside the constitution) on states.
Also... it would appear the Fed has taken too many tasks not assigned to them by the constitution. It would be in the interest of States to take over that not afforded the Fed by the constitution as a counter to the Fed meddling in affairs not assigned to them by the constitution. Perhaps a wet dream, but I have a feeling States have a lot they can do.
A Convention of States as provided for in the Constitution could have done this years ago if we had the political will to enact this. Still can be done but the Deep State keeps feeding unwarranted fear into the public thinking thru the MSM.

I don't see how we can have an honest discussion about the destruction of our communities, the effect of millions of foreigners on the job market and the serious rise in heinous crimes while continuing to pretend that this is "immigration". It is not. The Biden-Harris administration has willfully and with no lack of foresight allowed - if not planned - the influx of millions of unassimilable people into our country whom they effectively resettled based on asylum claims they know are phony. This administration has also incentivized the continued breach of our borders with prepaid debit cards via apps to the phones of those on their way here with instructions on how to proceed when they arrive, and they even sent planes to pick up "migrants" from various countries. To add insult to injury, our government has, for all intents and purposes, declared that the preference will go to the newcomers while citizen have no right to complain. See South Chicago.
How is this "immigration" when we all know that it actually is population replacement with the aim of achieving the coveted one-party state.
And remember this: Noticing any of the above officially makes you a racist bigot xenophobe.
It’s illegal immigration. They can only obtain legal status if they are found by an immigration Law Judge to fall into a category that is legal, and the categories are quite specific, and very few. Many illegals do not attend their Hearings, and remain illegal aliens.
The US government legal term is illegal alien. In a professional field, one learns to adapt the word “undocumented, “though most have plenty of documents, just the wrong ones.
I see a simple, equitable solution for the people of Springfield. Ship half of those Haitians to Martha's Vinyard, which will of course gladly accept them, find housing for them, and feed them.
Oh, wait. Matha's Vinyard has already kicked out a much smaller number or immigrants. Could it be that progressives are disgusting hypocrites of the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality? Yes.
Anyone with an unbiased view of history recognizes that kingdoms rise and fall with the inevitability of the tide. Did colonialism bring civilization to backwards people? Did a Tibetan general traitorously allow Chinese troops to conquer Tibet? Did Sodom, Gomorrah, and Washington, DC bring about their own destruction? The Visigoths sacked Rome. The only question remaining is who will take over the USA when its perversion and corruption are complete.
This election will tell you where the USA is headed. Our country is stronger than the globalists can fathom. It’s not Rome or Tibet. It will be a leader for the rest of world once this corrupt ruling class is jettisoned.
:For them, mass migration is a potential source of patronage and votes, best cultivated surreptitiously"
This was very much the idea when former Prime Minister Pierre Troodo of Canada introduced his policy of "multiculturalism" in the late 1960s. He shamed native-born Canadians into it. So that he and his party could benefit. He made it into an ethical sin to question this. Same old trick they all use. Pierre was Communist, btw. Though he kept that under his hat while he was running for office.
There are no inferior races. However, I strongly believe that other cultures who want to make America their home need to love America, the idea, the dream of the original Americans. The need to read our fundamental documents in their own language, learn English, learn our history, and our customs. This is for their own benefit. They will not assimilate without doing so, and life will be difficult. Because they will not be Americans, ot love her. They will just be here.
While there is much here to dissect, one clarification that I thought everyone knew and understood - Trump means BOTH: "build the wall" to prevent illegal and criminal entry, AND "build a big beautiful door" to make it faster and easier for legal immigrants to enter and assimilate. That's a policy I agree with completely. That's a policy that incorporates both compassion and prudence, safety and help.
It has been my belief for a couple decades that Democrat operatives don't want the border closed, they NEED those people to readily agree to fill out ballots in the names of the dead and nursing home patients. And they are happy to do so to preserve the ability to remain here. That's the only possible and only plausible reason for their open border policies -- after all, if they truly cared and had compassion on them... wouldn't they also care and have compassion on their fellow citizens? They don't. They have none for their own neighbor. Instead we see them encouraging their followers in burning, looting, attacking people, killing people...attempting to assassinate a President, trying to destroy that President and his family, killing babies and transgendering children without parental consent, and on and on. They have no conscience within them. The scriptures describe them well.
Trump, and his supporters, have never been against immigration. We are against illegal and criminal entry. I love our legal immigrants (most of, qualifier due to people like jihadi Ilhan Omar) and most are a great asset to our country. In my career I dealt with hundreds of legal immigrants and truly loved each one of them.
If we weren't spending so much time and money on illegal crossings and criminal entry we would have more immigration Judges and faster - legal - immigration to our country, for those seeking asylum as well as those simply seeking a better life.
Most Westerners will be happy for their country to do what it can for genuine asylum-seekers fleeing for their lives – always within the bounds of realism. And most are not implacably opposed to economic migration per se. (If I had grown up in some god awful country that is what I would try to do myself.) What rankles with people about the bleeding heart pro-immigration lobby and their parasitic ‘human rights’ lawyer enablers is the wholesale disregard of the interests of the wider host population. What rankles is how the virtue-signalling vanities of the university sheep-dipped) middle class have imposed costs borne primarily - not by themselves personally but by the non-‘opinion forming’ classes lower down the social scale. What rankles above all perhaps is this chattering class’ foolish and reckless assumption that the civilisation that has succoured them will still be there however much they mess with its cohesiveness and however much they undermine it with their ‘globalist’ sentimentalities. https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/the-migrants
The immigration nightmare being repeated in most western liberal democracies is not an accident, nor an unintended consequence of misguided policy. It is a deliberate strategy to undermine modern civilization. I recently learned of the Cloward-Piven strategy, which is one name for it; but taxonomy does not answer the question, any more than Marxism or Islamism are the final answer. Why am I so confident that this is intentional? Because the barriers to entry for high-skilled productive immigrants that western liberal leaders keep insisting are essential to multicultural societies [which is true] are as high as they have been in my lifetime. Could you, Mr. Rufo, legally become a British citizen today? I'm confident your status as a "far right extremist" would instantly disqualify you. And if by some chance it didn't, you would be told that they already have enough of your kind, thank you very much. And yet there is no discernible upper limit to the wretched refuse from foreign shores who are allowed in while the authorities are birdwatching through their binoculars.
Here's another name for this phenomenon, from the transmitting end: Weaponized emigration. The Mariel Boatlift in 1980 was Castro's gift to America; you may recall the opening scene from Scarface.
A mere 150k Cuban convicts and political dissidents was enough to permanently change Florida, and progressive politicians must have learned something from it. That something might be: If you allow in agents of chaos, your high-maintenance subjects may soon forget all about their Constitutional rights and liberties, and start begging for heavy-handed expansion of govt power. That was certainly proven true after 9/11 for Republicans, and COVID for Democrats. For you youngsters out there, Joe Biden is proud of drafting the prototypical PATRIOT Act in 1994, but it was considered too radical back then. He has bragged about that frequently in the past, which both parties conveniently forgot by 2020.
There is also evidence of something deeper and darker at work in what is seldom talked about in the furor over the border. The Biden administration refused to grant asylum to our Afghan collaborators after the disastrous 2021 withdrawal, because they were claimed to be too risky, despite the fact that their names were already known to the State Dept two years earlier--because they were documented and vetted by our own military personnel. So the original failure to honor our commitments to these people happened under Trump. But they were denied under Biden as well, while Mayorkas held the door open for anyone from anywhere, including Taliban sleepers. And only now are people beginning to take notice of all the children who are unaccounted for in this mass migration. Are most of them accompanied by their own parents? Likely, but nobody really knows. Weird for the party that's so big on Compassion and Decency, innit?
What we are witnessing is not really a debate about any sort of policy; it's treason. To paraphrase an often misattributed quote from John Stuart Mill, America's moral Gibraltar: The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Speaking as a descendant of Holocaust refugees, I can attest that there is a long and perilous period of cognitive dissonance that must be overcome in the public mind, before people realize that their elected leaders might actually want to destroy them.
It's time for complacent citizens of western democracies to wake up, and quit fiddling while Rome is sacked by barbarians. We have allowed this to happen to ourselves, because we are too spoiled to admit that honest policies entail sobering costs and tradeoffs. The true "trickle-down economics" is allowing govts to print money for wars and welfare programs that becomes our future debt, and the true devil's bargain is when we vote for other people's pockets to be picked so that we can signal our moral virtue to our peers. We are bankrupting our own future by being politically lazy, and politicians are happy to fill the vacuum of our ignorance.
But even in the dead of winter, new shoots emerge seeking sunlight. I was very encouraged by Vivek Ramaswamy's recent televised Springfield town hall, and by his intelligent analysis of administrative overreach at a recent CATO event:
The next few years are going to be existential crises for the US, UK, and EU nations. Our familiar way of life is changing dramatically, and we'd better come to grips with it sooner than later. It's going to be very hard to solve our problems without granting some sort of excessive power to govt, which I think was their intention. But history offers hope as well as despair. People have fought through worse and prevailed. If there is hope for Argentina and El Salvador, there is hope for us, if we have the will and the intestinal fortitude.
A very good clear delineation of the core issues. Unfortunately one party seems to think that no control is the best policy, whereas, in fact, solving these questions begins with asserting control of the process.
Assimilation is a good conversation to have when it comes to immigration policy. Another is the rights of citizens vs immigrants and visa holders.
For example, my son and his wife, though both professionals with college degrees and good jobs, can’t afford to buy a house, and can barely afford rent in a dangerous neighborhood with homeless people on drugs literally a block away. And because rent is high, it is really hard to save up for a down payment. One of the main reasons for this is foreign investors who buy up houses and then rent them back to the locals. So one of the first things I would propose is that only citizens can own property. This should be a right of citizenship and an incentive for immigrants to embrace our values, learn the language, and put down roots as Americans.
If such a law were passed, there would suddenly be a lot of real estate available to the younger generation who are currently shut out of the housing market. Yes, real estate values would drop and some of us older people with equity would lose some of that, but I would be happy to make that sacrifice for the next generation and the overall flourishing of our country.
Migration must be controlled.. our border bozo is cynically manipulating the subject by allowing a free for all invasion which supports her ideology and desire for a one party state
Nobody will argue that America’s history and record on immigration is perfect or, for that matter, entirely moral or just. It does have rules, though - even argued favorably by Obama. For
immigration any country can pick and choose who it wants to admit. Base the criteria on IQ, professional skills, juggling ability - whatever. But do have criteria that citizens agree on so these people can be welcomed by communities and have a hope of improving them and themselves.
Myself, I’d rather have the current issue be framed in terms of refugees instead of immigrants and help solve “the root problems” endemic to so many of the Central and South American countries that these unfortunate souls are fleeing.
What does the term 'racism' even mean any more? It is flung about indiscriminately like confetti at a funeral. Ironically, its main use is to brand people who disagree with leftism as subhuman.
It absolutely is misused/overused. But here we have a case of the real thing - assuming people have a low IQ simply because of where they were born. It's a good thing to see the real thing exposed!
But, it has been scientifically shown that different populations have different mean IQs, and this is generally reflected in whether their societies are functional or dysfunctional. IQ does not make someone more or less intrinsically valuable as a human being, but it is something that must be taken into consideration.
It's always helpful when the open borders lunatics out themselves. Another issue with low IQ third world countries is they have to utilise severe punishment to deter crime. Due to the general population's inability to self regulate. This is incompatible with Western Liberal society.
So yeah high crime or illiberal policing and a low trust society. Thanks buddy
The real question is “Why?!” “Why” do we need immigration, at all?
Not trying to be snarky. You do amazing work and you probably worked out in your head the “Why” and skipped straight to the final step. I think it would be a public service to openly discuss the “Why” question out loud and then work to “Who” “Show your work” if you will 😂
I can think of several reasons why immigration is valuable. First, think of Albert Einstein and other top scientists who came here and were instrumental in our prevailing in WW II and keeping the Nazis from developing nuclear weapons first.
We learn so much from other cultures and peoples that help us see our world better and more clearly. What American could write authoritatively about Islam's shortcomings the way Ayaan Hirsi Ali can?
OK, let's talk about food. British/early American food is awful. Thanks to immigration, the food in both countries is much, much, much better and more diverse. The same is true for music and the arts.
So put me down as a fan of immigration. It just needs to be 100% on OUR terms.
Companies should be severely punished for hiring illegals. Only the newly arrived are prepared to work for dirt wages. The generation born in the US will just like anyone else. Hence an endless demand for illegals by avaricious companies.
While we’re not perfect at living out our faith, the U.S. is still a majority Christian nation. As Christians, we’re called to recognize the dignity of every human life. So, yes, we should show compassion to immigrants. But that compassion doesn’t mean we have to open the floodgates indiscriminately.
My in-laws came from Honduras under the worst conditions, worked hard, and contributed to this country. They’re frustrated to see people exploiting the system, which undermines their sacrifices. This isn’t about paranoia; it’s about facing reality. In the UK, the government has jailed people over social media posts, and
excessive accommodations for Muslims are prevalent. It’s not about discrimination, it’s about protecting what makes a culture unique and cohesive.
Christian or not, we must to balance compassion with prudence. Welcoming people is a good thing, but not at the expense of our values and social fabric. We have to draw a line and ensure those coming in are willing to respect and integrate into our way of life.
We can’t afford to be naive. We have to defend our faith, our families, and our future. It’s not about rejecting people; it’s about preserving the values and principles that make us who we are. If we lose that, we lose everything and I fear we are well on our way without a hard stop.
🙏
People like your in-laws are untouchables to today's Democrats. Productive immigrants who are outspoken against illegal troublemakers are to be avoided at all costs. Only the elites are allowed to tell the proles how to think, speak, and behave.
Morning Chuck,
Exactly right. Thank you for your insight.
My in-laws bust their asses every day to contribute and live out solid values, only to get sidelined for political theater. You’re right—the elites control the narrative, and anyone challenging it gets shut down. COVID was a wake-up call: we saw just how quickly people roll over and accept being told what to do and think. It’s beyond a travesty—it’s a warning.
Compassion - prudence = evil.

I would like more clarity on this. Their "legal" status was not established by the usual immigration procedures (which I went through myself as a legal green card applicant), involving criminal background checks, AIDS test, TB test, and other health screenings prior to being granted entry into the US. From what I understand, they were quickly processed under a special scheme to allow them to work in the US. I believe the Democrats are starting to blur the definition of "legal immigrant" so as to allow many more unvetted immigrants into the country. Now we are getting TB and AIDS, and probably other communicable disease, outbreaks as those checks have not been carried out.
Well said, Margaret.
That is an interesting question. They are one of four nations whose people came in on planes after completing the app. If TDS STATUS WAS GIVEN WITHOUT meeting Immigration criteria, that would be breaking the law if an immigration ALJ let it slide. I have the sense that many recent immigrants have actually been brought it to replace the more expensive American, widening the wealth gap.
There's no evidence that HIV/AIDS or TB significantly spiked in Springfield, Ohio, because of Haitian immigrants. Conjecture is not science. The old white supremacist playbook is tired. Many of the poor white people in Springfield, Ohio, receive government assistance. They are too lazy to work. The Haitian migrants have proven that they are willing to work harder for less compensation. And they show up on time for their jobs.
I never said those diseases had spiked in Springfield. It was a general comment that these diseases have occurred elsewhere and that there is increased risk. Why do normal vetting procedures include these disease screenings if they are not important?

Go away, Leftist Loon.
People who resort to responding with ad hominem attacks do not have empirical arguments. They're speaking out of their asses (reciprocation) for an ignorant asshole.
This is not a helpful comment.
A lot of folks rightly believe that the Left has pulled out all of the "stops" to illegal migration solely to manipulate the federal election process in their favor. It is easy understand this because 1) they have themselves declared they must win elections "by whatever means possible" and, 2) the undisputable fact that the 2020 election was a landslide in favor of Trump until sometime in the early morning on the day after election. In the middle of the night did election oficials in swing states "find" more votes for Biden than the numbers indicated?
You can screech “wacist, WACIST!” All you want, but please keep in mind that black Americans live in Springfield and they aren’t happy about this invasion, either.
I bet you're a Russian bot.
I doubt a large percentage are now employed in any job at all except maybe crime. And bringing in low-cost labor is abusive to everyone involved. There is a reason Haiti has not gone anywhere except into the gutter in 400 years of self-rule. That should be highly cautionary.
It’s speculated that it is the religious practices and rituals. The Dominican Republic on the other half of the island is wealthy.
The French put Haiti into debt by demanding reparations for its freedom. After the successful slave revolt in Haiti, the United States refused to recognize Haiti as a sovereign country, which also had a negative impact on the Haitian economy. It's important to note that propaganda isn't science.
In 1803. Not an excuse for the current year.
“It is speculated” indicates neither knowledge nor propaganda.
Since you probably don’t know any of them, that’s quite an assumption.
Many impoverished white residents of Springfield, Ohio, receive government assistance and are too indolent to work—Appalachian culture!
That’s low, since you don’t know the demographic composition of the town prior to the 20K new arrivals. Were those of age holding the jobs in town, but replaced by lower wage earners?
As I pointed out upthread, black Americans live in Springfield and are just as upset at this invasion as Evil Whitey.
Did you get the message that America is turning unwhite for the first time in history — beautiful brown babies! 😂🤣😅😆😁😄😃😀
This article seems pretty accurate:
https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/haitian-immigrants-in-springfield-ohio-why-they-chose-this-city/2YSECZBYS5DYTF35SC5U4QS5SI/
The Haitians were not "thrust upon" the community; they were invited BY CERTAIN POLITICIANS AND BUSINESS OWNERS. The taxpaying citizenry at large were not consulted.
The same thing is going on in Charleroi, PA (near Pittsburgh). There is an NGO involved, along with a handful of politicians (and likely the local CofCs as well).
https://restoration-news.com/meet-the-other-springfield-occupied-by-haitian-illegal-aliens
Right. Follow the money trail.
Why would local businesses invite an influx of 15,000 people to a town of less than 60,000 people? Did a massive factory just open in Springfield and they're having a hard time finding enough workers? I wasn't aware that the town was so prosperous.
For decades, the United States has allowed Haitians in as refugees, due to floods, wars, and fires. Refugee status is legal status. So the fact that the journalist wrote about 2019 Haitians in Florida brought to Ohio is not unusual. I do not recall any war, flood or fire in the last 4 years that would enable them to be given legal status and work authorization. So it may be 2 separate populations.

Just about every week since 2019, First Diversity Staffing Group Inc. has shuttled vulnerable Haitian migrants in unmarked white Ford and Chevy vans from Florida to Ohio, where they are allegedly exploited for cheap labor by companies like Dole Food Company Inc. It is a secretive and sinister operation that has gone unchecked for more than five years. The mastermind behind this scheme lives in a $1.35 million mansion on Pawleys Plantation Court. His name is George Ten, but in that underworld, his nickname is "King George," because of his opulent lifestyle of luxury cars, cash handouts and fast-talk. For years, he has operated his reign of alleged exploitation openly and freely out of a former mansion on E. High Street.

Cui Bono? Who benefits?
Look, each migrant generates a lot of cashflow. There is the cashflow for their welfare, state provided medical care, education, rent and food assistance, etc.
Many of the local "republican" politicians get rich off the migrants, as do religious "charities".
"Eds and Meds" remains much of what the welfare state does, and the providers of Eds and Meds get rich off headcount.
The locals that aren't cued into these revenue steams rarely benefit as much, and of case those of us that pay for it (usually at the state and federal level) are on the hook for it all.
All good questions, perhaps they should be directed to the Republican governor.
All good questions, perhaps they should be directed to the governor.
FTFY
It's the Dems who are the real cause of this problem.
Excellent question. Likely up to the states - to enact laws that protect them for Fed financing of NGOs operating in the state against the wishes of the electorate.... or something more comprehensive. Do not know, I do not understand the mechanics, but there are likely actions states can do to orotect themselves from Fed financed NGOs and the other ways the Fed imposes its wishes (outside the constitution) on states.
Also... it would appear the Fed has taken too many tasks not assigned to them by the constitution. It would be in the interest of States to take over that not afforded the Fed by the constitution as a counter to the Fed meddling in affairs not assigned to them by the constitution. Perhaps a wet dream, but I have a feeling States have a lot they can do.
A Convention of States as provided for in the Constitution could have done this years ago if we had the political will to enact this. Still can be done but the Deep State keeps feeding unwarranted fear into the public thinking thru the MSM.
Round up the people involved and put them away.
Agreed

I don't see how we can have an honest discussion about the destruction of our communities, the effect of millions of foreigners on the job market and the serious rise in heinous crimes while continuing to pretend that this is "immigration". It is not. The Biden-Harris administration has willfully and with no lack of foresight allowed - if not planned - the influx of millions of unassimilable people into our country whom they effectively resettled based on asylum claims they know are phony. This administration has also incentivized the continued breach of our borders with prepaid debit cards via apps to the phones of those on their way here with instructions on how to proceed when they arrive, and they even sent planes to pick up "migrants" from various countries. To add insult to injury, our government has, for all intents and purposes, declared that the preference will go to the newcomers while citizen have no right to complain. See South Chicago.
How is this "immigration" when we all know that it actually is population replacement with the aim of achieving the coveted one-party state.
And remember this: Noticing any of the above officially makes you a racist bigot xenophobe.
It is definitely a plan. No accident. One world globalists. Obama, Soros, UN, etc etc
I just found out Chelsea Clinton was married to a Soros. OMG.
I’m not seeing that in her Wiki bio. However her father-in-law is a convicted fraudster.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mezvinsky
And I think Huma Abedin is marrying one, too.
It is all part of the Marxist one-world rule business.
It’s illegal immigration. They can only obtain legal status if they are found by an immigration Law Judge to fall into a category that is legal, and the categories are quite specific, and very few. Many illegals do not attend their Hearings, and remain illegal aliens.
Illegals are not immigrants.
The US government legal term is illegal alien. In a professional field, one learns to adapt the word “undocumented, “though most have plenty of documents, just the wrong ones.
💥💥💥
This tsunami of illegals will fundamentally change America and not in a good way.
The same kind of tsunami has already done so in Canada. And in England.
Europe is worse because they’re getting a lot of Muslims.
And we’re not? How would we know?
True. Also in Italy and other European countries. Also negative there...
Ireland is falling due to this too. Although the advocates for free speech in Ireland recently had a victory.
I see a simple, equitable solution for the people of Springfield. Ship half of those Haitians to Martha's Vinyard, which will of course gladly accept them, find housing for them, and feed them.
Oh, wait. Matha's Vinyard has already kicked out a much smaller number or immigrants. Could it be that progressives are disgusting hypocrites of the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality? Yes.
NIMBY liberals are not just a stereotype... THEY LIVE.
Referencing the movie?
Anyone with an unbiased view of history recognizes that kingdoms rise and fall with the inevitability of the tide. Did colonialism bring civilization to backwards people? Did a Tibetan general traitorously allow Chinese troops to conquer Tibet? Did Sodom, Gomorrah, and Washington, DC bring about their own destruction? The Visigoths sacked Rome. The only question remaining is who will take over the USA when its perversion and corruption are complete.
This election will tell you where the USA is headed. Our country is stronger than the globalists can fathom. It’s not Rome or Tibet. It will be a leader for the rest of world once this corrupt ruling class is jettisoned.
:For them, mass migration is a potential source of patronage and votes, best cultivated surreptitiously"
This was very much the idea when former Prime Minister Pierre Troodo of Canada introduced his policy of "multiculturalism" in the late 1960s. He shamed native-born Canadians into it. So that he and his party could benefit. He made it into an ethical sin to question this. Same old trick they all use. Pierre was Communist, btw. Though he kept that under his hat while he was running for office.
There are no inferior races. However, I strongly believe that other cultures who want to make America their home need to love America, the idea, the dream of the original Americans. The need to read our fundamental documents in their own language, learn English, learn our history, and our customs. This is for their own benefit. They will not assimilate without doing so, and life will be difficult. Because they will not be Americans, ot love her. They will just be here.
I don't think you are worth replying to. Smug and obtuse. They go together.
I bet you would claim there were no Communists in the USSR either...🤣.
While there is much here to dissect, one clarification that I thought everyone knew and understood - Trump means BOTH: "build the wall" to prevent illegal and criminal entry, AND "build a big beautiful door" to make it faster and easier for legal immigrants to enter and assimilate. That's a policy I agree with completely. That's a policy that incorporates both compassion and prudence, safety and help.
It has been my belief for a couple decades that Democrat operatives don't want the border closed, they NEED those people to readily agree to fill out ballots in the names of the dead and nursing home patients. And they are happy to do so to preserve the ability to remain here. That's the only possible and only plausible reason for their open border policies -- after all, if they truly cared and had compassion on them... wouldn't they also care and have compassion on their fellow citizens? They don't. They have none for their own neighbor. Instead we see them encouraging their followers in burning, looting, attacking people, killing people...attempting to assassinate a President, trying to destroy that President and his family, killing babies and transgendering children without parental consent, and on and on. They have no conscience within them. The scriptures describe them well.
I agree they have no conscience. As if it has been deactivated (presuming they ever had one).
They are getting closer to society-wide Psychopathy.
Interesting about the door.
Trump, and his supporters, have never been against immigration. We are against illegal and criminal entry. I love our legal immigrants (most of, qualifier due to people like jihadi Ilhan Omar) and most are a great asset to our country. In my career I dealt with hundreds of legal immigrants and truly loved each one of them.
If we weren't spending so much time and money on illegal crossings and criminal entry we would have more immigration Judges and faster - legal - immigration to our country, for those seeking asylum as well as those simply seeking a better life.
Most Westerners will be happy for their country to do what it can for genuine asylum-seekers fleeing for their lives – always within the bounds of realism. And most are not implacably opposed to economic migration per se. (If I had grown up in some god awful country that is what I would try to do myself.) What rankles with people about the bleeding heart pro-immigration lobby and their parasitic ‘human rights’ lawyer enablers is the wholesale disregard of the interests of the wider host population. What rankles is how the virtue-signalling vanities of the university sheep-dipped) middle class have imposed costs borne primarily - not by themselves personally but by the non-‘opinion forming’ classes lower down the social scale. What rankles above all perhaps is this chattering class’ foolish and reckless assumption that the civilisation that has succoured them will still be there however much they mess with its cohesiveness and however much they undermine it with their ‘globalist’ sentimentalities. https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/the-migrants
The immigration nightmare being repeated in most western liberal democracies is not an accident, nor an unintended consequence of misguided policy. It is a deliberate strategy to undermine modern civilization. I recently learned of the Cloward-Piven strategy, which is one name for it; but taxonomy does not answer the question, any more than Marxism or Islamism are the final answer. Why am I so confident that this is intentional? Because the barriers to entry for high-skilled productive immigrants that western liberal leaders keep insisting are essential to multicultural societies [which is true] are as high as they have been in my lifetime. Could you, Mr. Rufo, legally become a British citizen today? I'm confident your status as a "far right extremist" would instantly disqualify you. And if by some chance it didn't, you would be told that they already have enough of your kind, thank you very much. And yet there is no discernible upper limit to the wretched refuse from foreign shores who are allowed in while the authorities are birdwatching through their binoculars.
Here's another name for this phenomenon, from the transmitting end: Weaponized emigration. The Mariel Boatlift in 1980 was Castro's gift to America; you may recall the opening scene from Scarface.
A mere 150k Cuban convicts and political dissidents was enough to permanently change Florida, and progressive politicians must have learned something from it. That something might be: If you allow in agents of chaos, your high-maintenance subjects may soon forget all about their Constitutional rights and liberties, and start begging for heavy-handed expansion of govt power. That was certainly proven true after 9/11 for Republicans, and COVID for Democrats. For you youngsters out there, Joe Biden is proud of drafting the prototypical PATRIOT Act in 1994, but it was considered too radical back then. He has bragged about that frequently in the past, which both parties conveniently forgot by 2020.
There is also evidence of something deeper and darker at work in what is seldom talked about in the furor over the border. The Biden administration refused to grant asylum to our Afghan collaborators after the disastrous 2021 withdrawal, because they were claimed to be too risky, despite the fact that their names were already known to the State Dept two years earlier--because they were documented and vetted by our own military personnel. So the original failure to honor our commitments to these people happened under Trump. But they were denied under Biden as well, while Mayorkas held the door open for anyone from anywhere, including Taliban sleepers. And only now are people beginning to take notice of all the children who are unaccounted for in this mass migration. Are most of them accompanied by their own parents? Likely, but nobody really knows. Weird for the party that's so big on Compassion and Decency, innit?
What we are witnessing is not really a debate about any sort of policy; it's treason. To paraphrase an often misattributed quote from John Stuart Mill, America's moral Gibraltar: The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Speaking as a descendant of Holocaust refugees, I can attest that there is a long and perilous period of cognitive dissonance that must be overcome in the public mind, before people realize that their elected leaders might actually want to destroy them.
It's time for complacent citizens of western democracies to wake up, and quit fiddling while Rome is sacked by barbarians. We have allowed this to happen to ourselves, because we are too spoiled to admit that honest policies entail sobering costs and tradeoffs. The true "trickle-down economics" is allowing govts to print money for wars and welfare programs that becomes our future debt, and the true devil's bargain is when we vote for other people's pockets to be picked so that we can signal our moral virtue to our peers. We are bankrupting our own future by being politically lazy, and politicians are happy to fill the vacuum of our ignorance.
But even in the dead of winter, new shoots emerge seeking sunlight. I was very encouraged by Vivek Ramaswamy's recent televised Springfield town hall, and by his intelligent analysis of administrative overreach at a recent CATO event:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmemsb_h3q8
The next few years are going to be existential crises for the US, UK, and EU nations. Our familiar way of life is changing dramatically, and we'd better come to grips with it sooner than later. It's going to be very hard to solve our problems without granting some sort of excessive power to govt, which I think was their intention. But history offers hope as well as despair. People have fought through worse and prevailed. If there is hope for Argentina and El Salvador, there is hope for us, if we have the will and the intestinal fortitude.
A very good clear delineation of the core issues. Unfortunately one party seems to think that no control is the best policy, whereas, in fact, solving these questions begins with asserting control of the process.
Assimilation is a good conversation to have when it comes to immigration policy. Another is the rights of citizens vs immigrants and visa holders.
For example, my son and his wife, though both professionals with college degrees and good jobs, can’t afford to buy a house, and can barely afford rent in a dangerous neighborhood with homeless people on drugs literally a block away. And because rent is high, it is really hard to save up for a down payment. One of the main reasons for this is foreign investors who buy up houses and then rent them back to the locals. So one of the first things I would propose is that only citizens can own property. This should be a right of citizenship and an incentive for immigrants to embrace our values, learn the language, and put down roots as Americans.
If such a law were passed, there would suddenly be a lot of real estate available to the younger generation who are currently shut out of the housing market. Yes, real estate values would drop and some of us older people with equity would lose some of that, but I would be happy to make that sacrifice for the next generation and the overall flourishing of our country.
Migration must be controlled.. our border bozo is cynically manipulating the subject by allowing a free for all invasion which supports her ideology and desire for a one party state
IQ is also a factor and that is largely genetic. A donkey can't be trained into a racehorse
Wow, you know everyone's IQ? Especially with a name like "Monkey Brains"? Get lost with your vile filth.
…and the wrong part of his statement was - ?
Nobody will argue that America’s history and record on immigration is perfect or, for that matter, entirely moral or just. It does have rules, though - even argued favorably by Obama. For
immigration any country can pick and choose who it wants to admit. Base the criteria on IQ, professional skills, juggling ability - whatever. But do have criteria that citizens agree on so these people can be welcomed by communities and have a hope of improving them and themselves.
Myself, I’d rather have the current issue be framed in terms of refugees instead of immigrants and help solve “the root problems” endemic to so many of the Central and South American countries that these unfortunate souls are fleeing.
Refugee is a category of immigrants that enter lawfully.
"and the wrong part of his statement was - ? "
Gee, maybe that, as far as I'm aware, there are no IQ tests being conducted at the border?
It's always helpful to see the ACTUAL racists out themselves. Disgusting, but helpful.
What does the term 'racism' even mean any more? It is flung about indiscriminately like confetti at a funeral. Ironically, its main use is to brand people who disagree with leftism as subhuman.
It absolutely is misused/overused. But here we have a case of the real thing - assuming people have a low IQ simply because of where they were born. It's a good thing to see the real thing exposed!
But, it has been scientifically shown that different populations have different mean IQs, and this is generally reflected in whether their societies are functional or dysfunctional. IQ does not make someone more or less intrinsically valuable as a human being, but it is something that must be taken into consideration.
Where was that statement in the original post to which you replied? I don't see it.
It's always helpful when the open borders lunatics out themselves. Another issue with low IQ third world countries is they have to utilise severe punishment to deter crime. Due to the general population's inability to self regulate. This is incompatible with Western Liberal society.
So yeah high crime or illiberal policing and a low trust society. Thanks buddy
Take it easy there, Mo.
The real question is “Why?!” “Why” do we need immigration, at all?
Not trying to be snarky. You do amazing work and you probably worked out in your head the “Why” and skipped straight to the final step. I think it would be a public service to openly discuss the “Why” question out loud and then work to “Who” “Show your work” if you will 😂
Thanks again for all of your efforts 💪👍😎
I can think of several reasons why immigration is valuable. First, think of Albert Einstein and other top scientists who came here and were instrumental in our prevailing in WW II and keeping the Nazis from developing nuclear weapons first.
We learn so much from other cultures and peoples that help us see our world better and more clearly. What American could write authoritatively about Islam's shortcomings the way Ayaan Hirsi Ali can?
OK, let's talk about food. British/early American food is awful. Thanks to immigration, the food in both countries is much, much, much better and more diverse. The same is true for music and the arts.
So put me down as a fan of immigration. It just needs to be 100% on OUR terms.
Muh Food ! 😂… Google and YouTube for recipes don’t exist. Must import millions of people. 🙄🤦♂️ No thanks.
Brain drain I’m 100% for. But this is why the “Why” comes first. However, We currently actively discriminate Against this type of immigration.
What are standard deviations?
Millions of people to keep wages low is beneficial to who? That’s the Who we should take about, Who Benefits?
Since you’re a fan of immigration, next batch of Haitians can stay in your spare bedroom yeah?
Companies should be severely punished for hiring illegals. Only the newly arrived are prepared to work for dirt wages. The generation born in the US will just like anyone else. Hence an endless demand for illegals by avaricious companies.
I’d be extremely surprised if anyone in Haiti is a potential Albert Einstein.
The restaurant argument is stupid. Not enough benefits for the downside.
