Well done. More people are noticing the NYT gaslighting cycle. No it’s not happening, it’s happening but it’s rare, you’re a bad person if you notice that it’s happening, it’s happening a lot and it’s a good thing. All cultures are equal, diversity is our greatest strength, America has magic dirt that automatically assimilates people from a disfunctional low-trust society.
When you're an ethnically homogenous nation, you can tell yourself all sorts of mad stories about how you're in fact a credal nation, a civic nation, how ethnicity doesn't matter. We're now finding out that this might not actually be true.
And as everyone should know by now from various real news stories of murders, rapes, robberies, drug busts, pedo busts, etc the character of the illegals from Biden years is below the lowest of the low. Actually that applies to 99% of the illegals going back a couple decades or more.
If it so happens that a particular country or countries is highly represented in these foul and criminal illegal aliens, that's on them and their country, not on the people demanding good character and proper legal process. It certainly doesn't speak well for that country in general which in turn validates blocking entrants from that country.
That's not racism either, that's "characterism" - a demand for good character. Characterism has no color and no nationality.
💯. To ensure that people come for right reasons only, stop any government-paid freebies to illegals, remove refugee status for any violations, including misdemeanors and non-compliance, limit refugee benefits to only disabled and elderly, stop birthright citizenship to illegals, require both parents to be in the country legally.
Birthright citizenship should be outlawed completely. For the simply reason that many come here specifically for that and come already pregnant or rush to get pregnant after crossing the border, to gain citizenship themselves through their baby's (which is what you are talking about I think.) They know exactly how to work our system.
Citizenship for foreign children born on US soil should be through an application process and be a direct reflection of the parents and their lawful residence here, their work history and, frankly, I would include any potential US credit history. Basically, determine if they contribute to society as a whole and assimilate into our culture. (9 times out of 10 a credit history shows overall responsibility to their own family, but also to our businesses, our society and our country.)
I would add to your short list the principle of reciprocity. The U.S. shouldn’t offer any privileges to immigrants that are not otherwise offered to Americans in the immigrant’s home country. For example, Mexico offers no practical path to citizenship for Americans and Americans cannot buy property in Mexico. Therefore, America should do likewise for Mexican immigrants, legal or otherwise.
That's definitely something to think about. On the other hand we do have people, like Cesar Milan (dog whisperer), who are really good people just trying to escape the drug trade life and better themselves. If you've never heard his story look it up, it's a great story. He came here the wrong way, for the right reasons and when he could he corrected that. I think, opinion here, there are few like him compared to the vast majority who cross illegally, especially during Biden years, but I would like to see a path for people like him. And maybe if we weren't spending so much time and money on bad illegals we would have the resources (courts and judges etc) to process the good people...
Birthright citizenship is not guaranteed by the constitution. It's something that some judge came up with, and said it was in the constitution. It's not.
That is incorrect. The 14th Amendment explicitly provides for birthright citizenship. It was challenged in the late 1800's and the Supreme Court confirmed this. 14A: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Your civics teacher probably forgot to mention the "...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." part of the amendment. That wasn't thrown in as an after thought. It's extremely relevant. Well, except to democrat civics teachers who prefer to ignore it.
One important 'for instance' is American Indians, who were clearly born within the borders but were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Therefore they were not citizens under this amendment. And if they weren't citizens, and their ENTIRE family was born and lived her for centuries, then neither was anyone else who was born here, unless they were "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Your civics teacher gets an "F".
American Indians did receive citizenship, thru legislation, in the 1900s.
And being born outside the USA borders doesn't mean a person isn't a citizen. Children born to American citizens while outside the USA are still 'natural born citizens'. John McCain ran for president, but was born outside the USA. Nobody disputed his right to run for president as a natural born citizen.
It's true enough that a judge conveniently reinterpreted the constitution as you would like it to be. And Barak Obama also reinterpreted the amendment in accordance with his own politics. And God knows what your civics teacher thinks. But the truth is the truth.
Some kinds of ethnicity matter too because they determine character. This is because many poor countries and some religions teach their children that it's OK or even compulsory to attack and/or cheat those richer than oneself, for no better reason than that their relative success is either automatically a sin, or can only be the result of sin. We'll never be able to return to a society based on characterism if we don't keep out those groups on a continuing basis.
This is why the idea of racism is poison. Characterism is sufficient only if no exceptions are made for anybody. And even then, enforcement may require profiling to do its job.
They either want to embrace our country, it's form of government and it's laws or they don't. Those who want to embrace America will come legally and correctly and honor our country (as most legal immigrants do). Those who don't break our laws from the moment they step over a border, that in itself says most of what we need to know.
I'm afraid America has become "land of the stupid" to third world countries - and they just want the free stuff and easy fraud like Tim Walz's people get.
Those like Cesar Milan coming across illegally? They are very, very rare.
In my work over the last 40 years I came to know and love so many legal immigrants (most turned citizens), from many different countries, and all but one single one loved and appreciated America and were proud of their citizenship status - and angry about the illegals being let in. The one who didn't love and appreciate the US? Was from England.
It's a sad commentary on incompatible values. Thousands of years of inculcation and scrambling to survive cannot be eradicated by simply arriving as a refugee in a western country and attempting or not, to integrate. Most of those citizens of such failed states cannot be rehabilitated in one lifetime. Perhaps their children can? Europe, America - the downfall of all civilization.
Not really. They either want to assimilate to our country, it's form of government and it's laws and learn English - or they don't. Those who do will likely be good neighbors and citizens. Those who don't need to be sent back home.
In truth, those who do want to embrace our country are the ones already coming legally. And they are welcomed! Unfortunately, there are also a lot of jihadists coming legally too, as 9/11 should have taught everyone. Careful and thorough background checks are a must.
Culture is derived from and defined by race. It's not an accident that without fail every single tribe from sub Saharan Africa never invented the wheel or writing or sailing. That none of the tribes in North America managed to domesticate any livestock, or build a single road. I'm so tired of pretending not to notice.
So if a white baby is raised in sub Saharan Africa to and through adulthood they would then have invented the wheel, writing and sailing?
The North American tribes needed roads for what? They had paths in certain their horses and livestock made. Horses were tamed, they aren't born that way. I find it hard to believe they didn't have goats or cows for milk at some point. Did they even try to domesticate other animals? Why would they?
Culture is determined by handed down beliefs and teaching, regardless of color.
Don't be obtuse. A single person doesn't create a culture.
The native tribes of North America didn't domesticate the horse. They learned of them when the Spaniards arrived.
You might find it hard to believe that they didn't have goats or cows for milk, but they didn't. The fact that it's hard to believe they were still living in the Stone Age when we arrived doesn't change the fact that they were, indeed living in the Stone Age.
IQ determines black 'culture', and blacks have a low IQ. Wake up to reality. Your Namby Pamby (weak and ineffectivve) attitude is deplorable because it's what has gotten us to the horrors we're facing. There's nothing noble about your nonsense. It's destructive and stupid.
Small point of fact, horses did not exist in North or South America until they were introduced by the Spaniards in the early 16th century. The breeds of horses that were introduced had long histories of selective breeding and domestication.
To be consistent with the argument, it is not "If a white baby...."; it is "If a white culture.....". Most big groundbreaking inventions and cultural developments occur gradually over many generations. It is obtuse and bit dimwitted to put the invention of the wheel and space travel on the shoulders of a single baby in Sub Saharan Africa. It would better ague that rates of cultural development ar governed by the need for survival. The climate in sub saharan Africa was perfect for hunter / gatherer cultures. Ice age Europe; not so much.
Whites should be racist and acknowledge that they are, because it means you're awake, you think for yourself, and notice behavior patterns. It means you're aware of exactly who is committing violent, hateful crimes against whites.
I disagree. Why hate someone for no reason? Not all whites are good, not all other-than-white are bad.
Again, It is not race that matters it's character.
And in certain cases, yes, a country's religious belief system causes bad character. But the person has a choice, all people do. And there are those who have converted from a "kill all" belief system to Christianity. And those converted continue to speak out and warn against the "kill all" belief systems.
There are 11 million illegal immigrants in the country correct?? Are they all of bad character?? All criminals?? How do you tar a whole nationality or ethnic group by or through the actions of a small minority of people?? Are there racketeering Enterprises done by white people??Does that mean that democracy is incompatible with white people?? Of course not. Lol.
And all 11+ million purposely, knowingly broke our laws to enter AND then choose to continue to break our laws every single day they are here, every single day they are paid "under the table", every single day they are paid under a fake/stolen SS#. They do not choose to honor our country, our government and especially not our laws.
Their behavior speaks to their character already.
I don't care what their nationality is. That's the point.
Perhaps 1%, maybe even up to 3%, could be good people, could be truly in need of asylum, could be a productive member of society, could be a true asset to our country and could be someone the US wants to help - as well as learn from. Like our legal immigrants. Our legal immigrants are a tremendous asset, and blessing, in a hundred different ways. A very tight border and thorough background checks would allow those good people to enter while blocking the rest that should be blocked. I don't know the real numbers but I know from decades of living near 2 borders that good people crossing are extremely rare and always have been.
I hope you realize that you are not really talking facts. You are admitting a lot of hatred. The overwhelming majority of these tamales did not walk across the southern border. Lol. They came in legally in the 90s as refugees from the Somali Civil War. Lol. How do you know only 3% are good people?? Based upon the fact that50 people committed a crime?? Lol. You confirm the worst fears of what every liberal says about conservatives. I don’t want to say what that actually is. But you should think about it.
First, where have I used the word Somalis or even named any country at all except our own?
Second, how many times have I differentiated between legal and illegal?
Third, correction to your text; only "50 people" have been CAUGHT. Big difference.
Fourth, to educate you, you should understand that believing in respecting our law and respecting our country is not hatred. Only an illegal, or illegal-loving, person or ignorant Democrat voter would see any hate at all in any of my statements.
Fifth, I already said they weren't official numbers but were based on decades of living against 2 different southern borders and personal experience and 5 years minimum of news stories re crimes by illegals.
Sixth, only a fool would take issue with character being the dominant requirment in allowing legal immigration status.
You have no legitimate argument and are blind to the truth. I will not waste any more of my time responding to you. You're already at the "name calling" stage (you just didn't "say" the word) that is so very typical of your class when you have no sensible argument and have lost your case. I hope your own family never suffers at the hands of an illegal, from anywhere.
Not a lot of logic in your comment. There are how many so-called illegal aliens in the country. 11 million?? How many of them have committed crimes?? Not too many. How many white people have committed crimes in America?? Are they -meaning all white people, therefore incompatible with democracy?? Lol.
lol. do you know where Somalia is?? Lol. They did not walk across the southern border. I could tell you that. Lol. Most of these Somalis came in the 90s as a result of the Civil War there. They came as refugees. They came legally.lol
You should learn what Nazi really is and what they really did. You demean and diminish those millions who suffered starvation and cruel deaths at the hands of Nazis with your flippant and extremely ignorant use of the word.
Excellent reporting....now comes the violence, the expansion of no-go zones, etc. It's happening everywhere else. No reason why it won't happen here. We are fools,
What people are arguing is that, on average, Somalis are more trouble than they are worth. That doesn’t mean every single one is a crook. It means a high percentage of them are, and it’s hard to predict or sort out the bad from the good. The stats show they (as a group) consume more taxes than they produce, that their crime rates are relatively high, that they are not assimilating, that they are sending money back to Somalia that often funds terrorism.
A high percentage of them are criminals?? How do you know this?? Do you know any tamales?? Give me some facts that a high percentage of them are criminals!! How do you know they are not assimilating?? Provide some facts on that also. Somalia funds terrorism?? What do you mean?? Lol the government?? Provide some facts. Reality is you have no facts at all. You’re just repeating what other liars say.
12/05/25: "The next step in the process is for the liberal media to respond.
"Right on cue, CBS News published a story misrepresenting our report and 'debunking' that misrepresentation [something that didn't exist] —a claim that it eventually retracted under pressure."
As if Bari Weiss could POSSIBLY clean up CBS-Pravda!!!
Get ready to pass the hat for her severance pay (pennies only, please).
"Tapper's Cringe Suspect Gaffe - CNN anchor Jake Tapper was ripped Thursday after he wrongly referred to accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr. as a 'white guy' ... during his opening segment on 'The Lead.' " (NY Post 12/05/25).
Atta boy, right on schedule, Jake, spokesman for the multi-racial KKK legacy media.
He has no proof that any of the money ended up with Al Shabab and he’s implicating 100,000 people when the crime was done by 20 people. Are there racketeering crimes in America done by white people?? Are white people therefore incompatible with democracy?? Lol.
Right. I have the numbers wrong. But do 70 people implicate 100,000?? 70 thieves mean that all hundred thousand of thieves really?? There’s not a lot of logic there.
Not in Minneapolis. They cry racism and the mayor and the governor cave. Thats how the scam was preserved. HHS has screamed for years. Begged for investigations and intervention. Nothing. Nada. Because “racism.”
Well, it’s true that it’s easy to manipulate a liberal on the issue of race. To a liberal all Black people are oppressed. Of course that’s baloney. . But that does not mean that all Somalis are guilty just because a couple dozen committed a huge fraud.
Do you live in Mpls or even MN? If not you are not experiencing this debacle and the daily entitlement this community expects. I agree with you that the # that actually committed the crimes is not the 80,000 population, on the other hand all of the individuals that took the money, provided false data, knew about the fraud and did nothing are complicit. Just as AG Keith Ellison for taking $10,000 campaign donation, as are any state and local officials that shied away of threats of racism, as is the Governor that took action against whistleblower. As are the Dem majority that blew through an $18 B budget surplus under Walz’s watch. All Minnesotans are watching their property taxes double in the last 7 years…that equates to a 10% annual increase per year in addition to the $18B wasted. As Governor Walz said Minnesotans are generous….and we were ignorant and now fleeced.
12/05/25: Poor Tampon Timmy (Walz). If he'd just kept his mouth shut and ignored Kamala Harris (one of the Sirens on the White House rocks), the spotlight today would likely be elsewhere. How long before he flips and turns state's evidence? Against the Somalis and better yet, against his Chinese Communist handlers. Neither of whom should worry because Walz is so incoherent, his testimony would probably be worthless.
I read it here first lat week. When I posted an attorney’s article, your article was brought up in the Comments, along with hits on your credibility. I think the story has finally reached the point of Common Knowledge. But you’re a racist if you talk about immigrants losing status.
In order to actually reverse this madness and prevent its continuing destruction of our country, the family unification provisions of immigration law need to be revised in order to end chain migration. And the national origin provisions of our laws, erased by Senator Kennedy's 1965 immigration bill, need to be reinstated. These will not be fun debates, but necessary to preserving what is left of our country. We have a right to bring in people who are compatible with our values, and who won't become public charges the minute they arrive.
I don't know about ending family reunification. Didn't some of your families come here piecemeal, men first? My mother's uncles came to America from Russia in about 1912, one became a successful portrait painter, the other went into business. They sent for the female relatives, who also contributed to the economy. If not for that reunification, I think they would have perished in pogroms. Trump has flirted with ending chain migration, but maybe it's sufficient to be selective about which countries'/cultures' immigrants tend not to contribute much once here.
This is not 1912, and in 1912 there was no welfare state. The way it works now is that the people who have already immigrated sponsor their other family members, that is, spouses, children, parents and siblings. Once these people are here legally, they begin consuming public welfare benefits, such as Medicaid. This process can continue, as each new immigrant who becomes a U.S. citizen can also sponsor in all of their relatives. This brings us uneducated, unskilled workers who depress wages. The family unification criteria robs us of the ability to bring in the most useful immigrants, instead allowing the newest immigrants to decide who enters our country.
37 minutes of absolute shock and horror. No wonder President Trump is going after Venezuela, it's not the oil - it's democracy. This is the chant of Marxist Socialists on the left, who are actually destroying democracy arm-in-arm with the cartels, the Swamp, the Matrix Media, big corporations, et al. Thank you.
So the crime was committed by 20 people and all 100,000 Somali share the same values of these criminals?? Are there racketeering Enterprises in America done by white people?? Are therefore all white people incompatible with democracy?? Lol.
This is a bald faced lie. 20 people did not do this. Hundreds of people did and all the community participated including their quisling turncoat fraudster Ilhan Omar who should be pitched out for immigration fraud at the least. Several Billions of dollars. Billions with a B sent to terrorists, used to by cars and real estate. No jail. Claw back what can be clawed back. Deport the idiot after denaturalization.
A lot of rage in your comment. But not so many facts. You are correct that I was wrong about two dozen. There are about 70. So your implicating 100,000 tamales due to the crimes of 70. Sound very logical to me. White people commit crimes don’t they. Are all white people therefore incompatible with democracy?? Lol. They are going to jail. Another incorrect fact on your part. And there is no evidence to any of the money ended up with Al Shabab. Another incorrect fact on your part. Why do you say these things without any evidence??
Another idiotic comment. Somalis are welfare queens and a drain on the country. Additionally to et are stupid. IQ around 68. Functional idiot so clearly some Democrats likely white out this in place and let them send our tax $ to terrorists. Too bad they didn’t send you.
Yes, thing is, they do share the same values as these criminals. Look at the shrew in Congress. They have no appreciation for the rule of law. And they are Muslims, hostile to our culture. White people founded this country and have a right to be here, regardless of how villainous. Somalis did not and do not. We have a right to ensure that those who come here share our values, and the Somalis obviously do not. lol Den mou arései,kólos.
You say that they all share the same values. How do you know this?? Do you know all 100,000 somalis?? Lol. Obviously your generalizing. Justice is an individual thing remember. If there’s no social justice as the liberals claim, then there’s no social guilt either.
Reality bites. You have apparently chosen to side with the thieves and fraudsters. Your brainwashing has worked wonderfully. (Who taught you to hate yourself and your own country?) But your education didn't work. There is a difference between values and skin color.
Chris, Good work. I appreciate your ability and willingness to cover sensitive issues with the balance, analysis, and diverse thought necessary to make your pieces persuasive rather than purely provocative.
I have one request. Do not use the term "Rust Belt" again. It is derogatory and alienates a large part of the country. Fly-Over Country is equally bad. Mid-west is just fine. Heartland works as well. Better to acknowledge the hard-working American families in the center of the country than insult them.
Well said, Mark! Heartland is my choice, and I'm not even a native. It's in the middle of the country--its heart, and its spacious lands feed multitudes.
I grew up in a Rust Belt city. It is an accurate term. It was prosperous in my childhood, but has since been plagued with massive amounts of alcoholism and drug abuse. It isn’t immigrants who caused this problem.
Many White Americans are lazy and entitled and resent that immigrants are out hustling, out working, and out earning them. They blame the immigrants for doing what they should be doing.
What underlies this appalling story is the great cancerous bureaucratic/lawfaring Blob that we in the West have allowed to grow undercover of our supposedly democratic system. "Its bogus virtue-signalling vanities our culture has mislabelled as an excess of caring and compassion. During the course of my lifetime, the worst censure these people have generally faced (at least until recently) is being viewed as a bit irritatingly ‘do-gooding’. Their psychological motivation has tended to be misdiagnosed as one of good intentions...if sometimes taken too far. But more often than not it is in fact nothing of the sort. It is more truly an amalgam of holier-than-thou narcissism, selective outrage and in-crowd groupthink. These people – and they now number in the millions - have had an incredibly lucky run in recent decades, given the harm they have done. A large proportion of them are graduate professionals making a comfortable living from sucking (either directly or indirectly) on the public teat. All the while doing all they can to pick apart the culture that both sustains and funds them. It would be impossible to prove, of course, but I have read, down the years, reasonably plausible citings of evidence that real, personal acts of generosity is something actually more to be found amongst people who lean conservative Right than amongst Progressives." https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/awful-people
We heard similar bigotry directed toward the Irish and Germans in the 1850s, the Italians a few decades later, and the Jews in the early 20th century. The same bigots opposed fighting the Nazis and called themselves “America First”. History is repeating.
No, but whites should be racist and acknowledge that they are, because it means you're awake, you think for yourself, and notice behavior patterns. It means you're aware of exactly who is committing violent, hateful crimes against whites.
As always, Chris, excellent reporting. High time these and so many other flagrant violations perpetrated by illegal (and some legal) immigrants were brought to light. Thank you and your colleagues for this valuable service.
CIA subsidized immigration of third world cultures - a journalist could make a career on various aspects of this mess. Then you could become rich suing liberal media for misrepresentation and slander. The progressive gift that keeps on giving.
The real problem that you, Chris Rufo, have presented to the left and the NYTs with your report in the Somali-led mega fraud in Minneapolis isn't that "The uncomfortable truth for Times readers is that all cultures are not equal..." it is that not all cultures have the same levels of virtue, honesty and value for human flourishing. You've made this obvious. The left has worked for decades to obfuscate this under the smoke of being nonjudgemental. But we have to be judgemental because we have to make choices for society, to determine our morals and mores and, ultimately, to write and enforce law. So you have really thrown a big, heavy spanner into the gears of the leftwing, Marxist, CRT machine once again, because it is from that source that "not judging" emerges. Bravo!
“not all cultures have the same levels of virtue, honesty, and value”
True. The US now has one of the lowest levels. It elected and re-elected a President who is a licentious seducer and abuser who cheated on three wives and fathered a child out of wedlock, who was convicted of 34 felonies from his attempt to silence a porn star with whom he had had an affair, who defames anyone who disagrees with him with slanderous lies, who has enriched himself and his family at the public trough, and is attempting a Stalin-like personality cult.
While I agree in principle with your comment. However the Islamization of the west is an exponentially greater threat, if not the greatest threat, to the west than Cuban criminals.
People said the same about Catholics and Jews. There are now twice as many Jews as Muslims in the US, and 20x as many Catholics. The US is not threatened by either. Religious bigotry is un-American.
All this while Walz was more interested in installing tampon dispensers in boys restrooms. Additionally, this is simply one more proof point that diversity is not necessarily a strength, and in cases of significant cultural misalignment, it is disruptive and dangerous.
Well done most definitely. I've been following many of your stories since 2021 when you did a story on Raytheon regarding DEI for which I was presenting working. I retired at that point when they were forcing COVID-19 shots. I pushed your article on DEI to the President of Raytheon for which I felt strongly about. He was nevertheless not pleased but you're story was the absolute truth. Thank you for so many profound articles.
Not truly. These countries have armies whose soldiers take oaths to protect their nations. Mobilize the armies - round up and deport whoever and whatever are existential threats. Sounds draconian? It is. But the results of doing nothing will be far worse - and truly the overthrow of nations who stand idly by -
Yes! Mobilize the armies. Draconian is what's needed to fix the horror we're experiencing across Western civilization. Saying things like 'cultures aren't compatible' and 'they're not assimilating' isn't going to solve anything. We need to take pitiless measures to put a stop to the white genocide that's happening. The third world, low-IQ nonwhites are brought here to destroy whites and the civilization we've built over the centuries. It's time for harsh actions without regard to humanitarian ideals. We do not owe these worthless parasites anything. It's time to face that fact and get rid of them by any means necessary. The military should round them up like Hitler did the Jews! I don't want to hear the word fair. It's fair to eliminate these worthless parasites like they're an invading army occupying our land. I don't want to hear 'it's not who we are'. We must be decisive and get rid of this trash. That must be who we are.
steve B used the word “incompatibility”. Canada is fully deracinated, uprooted, there is no culture. It has been swamped out through mass immigration. So the old Canada cannot be reanimated and the new Canada is just an amalgamation of foreigners Who have no shared values, history, culture or religion. We are fully adrift and it is accelerating. The future is tribalism within Canada, which will manifest into wars, Low level internecine conflict between ingoup and outgroup.
20 years?…au contraire. recall when Pres Carter allowed Cuba to empty its prisons and send them to the US under cover of the Mariana Boat Lift. (Poor gullible Jimmy, the road to hell is paved with “ProgLib” intentions).
it was the semi-debacle that Pres Clinton fomented in Somalia (Blackhawk Down) in the cause of peace keeping that this particular cultural felony originates from. There was not then, and there isn’t now a valid rationale for importing the detritus of the Horn of Africa to a country (to include the EU) that is at the other end of a spectrum representing Western Culture and its basis in national values.
somewhere in the NYT photo archives is a picture of lil’ Chelsea wearing a Che Guevara tee-shirt. the image of Castros’ torturer-in-chief is a world class graphic, but it portrays world class evil. you’d think God would have put less fools in the world.
Why isn’t ICE actively identifying every illegal immigrant that is getting public aid and deporting them? (I know many of the Somalians were legal, but the point stands).
California, for example, is giving MediCal to millions of illegals. Intentionally! Time to send them home.
Cali is eat up with illegals which have voted these folks into office. It will not change for Cali until the Feds move in and clean it out. ICE is doing the best it can with the politicians in the worst states funding the push back.
Well done. More people are noticing the NYT gaslighting cycle. No it’s not happening, it’s happening but it’s rare, you’re a bad person if you notice that it’s happening, it’s happening a lot and it’s a good thing. All cultures are equal, diversity is our greatest strength, America has magic dirt that automatically assimilates people from a disfunctional low-trust society.
When you're an ethnically homogenous nation, you can tell yourself all sorts of mad stories about how you're in fact a credal nation, a civic nation, how ethnicity doesn't matter. We're now finding out that this might not actually be true.
Ethnicity doesn't matter.
But Character Does.
And as everyone should know by now from various real news stories of murders, rapes, robberies, drug busts, pedo busts, etc the character of the illegals from Biden years is below the lowest of the low. Actually that applies to 99% of the illegals going back a couple decades or more.
If it so happens that a particular country or countries is highly represented in these foul and criminal illegal aliens, that's on them and their country, not on the people demanding good character and proper legal process. It certainly doesn't speak well for that country in general which in turn validates blocking entrants from that country.
That's not racism either, that's "characterism" - a demand for good character. Characterism has no color and no nationality.
💯. To ensure that people come for right reasons only, stop any government-paid freebies to illegals, remove refugee status for any violations, including misdemeanors and non-compliance, limit refugee benefits to only disabled and elderly, stop birthright citizenship to illegals, require both parents to be in the country legally.
Birthright citizenship should be outlawed completely. For the simply reason that many come here specifically for that and come already pregnant or rush to get pregnant after crossing the border, to gain citizenship themselves through their baby's (which is what you are talking about I think.) They know exactly how to work our system.
Citizenship for foreign children born on US soil should be through an application process and be a direct reflection of the parents and their lawful residence here, their work history and, frankly, I would include any potential US credit history. Basically, determine if they contribute to society as a whole and assimilate into our culture. (9 times out of 10 a credit history shows overall responsibility to their own family, but also to our businesses, our society and our country.)
I would add to your short list the principle of reciprocity. The U.S. shouldn’t offer any privileges to immigrants that are not otherwise offered to Americans in the immigrant’s home country. For example, Mexico offers no practical path to citizenship for Americans and Americans cannot buy property in Mexico. Therefore, America should do likewise for Mexican immigrants, legal or otherwise.
That's definitely something to think about. On the other hand we do have people, like Cesar Milan (dog whisperer), who are really good people just trying to escape the drug trade life and better themselves. If you've never heard his story look it up, it's a great story. He came here the wrong way, for the right reasons and when he could he corrected that. I think, opinion here, there are few like him compared to the vast majority who cross illegally, especially during Biden years, but I would like to see a path for people like him. And maybe if we weren't spending so much time and money on bad illegals we would have the resources (courts and judges etc) to process the good people...
Birthright citizenship is not guaranteed by the constitution. It's something that some judge came up with, and said it was in the constitution. It's not.
That is incorrect. The 14th Amendment explicitly provides for birthright citizenship. It was challenged in the late 1800's and the Supreme Court confirmed this. 14A: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Your civics teacher probably forgot to mention the "...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." part of the amendment. That wasn't thrown in as an after thought. It's extremely relevant. Well, except to democrat civics teachers who prefer to ignore it.
One important 'for instance' is American Indians, who were clearly born within the borders but were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Therefore they were not citizens under this amendment. And if they weren't citizens, and their ENTIRE family was born and lived her for centuries, then neither was anyone else who was born here, unless they were "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Your civics teacher gets an "F".
American Indians did receive citizenship, thru legislation, in the 1900s.
And being born outside the USA borders doesn't mean a person isn't a citizen. Children born to American citizens while outside the USA are still 'natural born citizens'. John McCain ran for president, but was born outside the USA. Nobody disputed his right to run for president as a natural born citizen.
It's true enough that a judge conveniently reinterpreted the constitution as you would like it to be. And Barak Obama also reinterpreted the amendment in accordance with his own politics. And God knows what your civics teacher thinks. But the truth is the truth.

Some kinds of ethnicity matter too because they determine character. This is because many poor countries and some religions teach their children that it's OK or even compulsory to attack and/or cheat those richer than oneself, for no better reason than that their relative success is either automatically a sin, or can only be the result of sin. We'll never be able to return to a society based on characterism if we don't keep out those groups on a continuing basis.
This is why the idea of racism is poison. Characterism is sufficient only if no exceptions are made for anybody. And even then, enforcement may require profiling to do its job.
They either want to embrace our country, it's form of government and it's laws or they don't. Those who want to embrace America will come legally and correctly and honor our country (as most legal immigrants do). Those who don't break our laws from the moment they step over a border, that in itself says most of what we need to know.
I'm afraid America has become "land of the stupid" to third world countries - and they just want the free stuff and easy fraud like Tim Walz's people get.
Those like Cesar Milan coming across illegally? They are very, very rare.
In my work over the last 40 years I came to know and love so many legal immigrants (most turned citizens), from many different countries, and all but one single one loved and appreciated America and were proud of their citizenship status - and angry about the illegals being let in. The one who didn't love and appreciate the US? Was from England.
"... demand for good character. Characterism has no color and no nationality."
YES!
However, some cultures- and that may encompass an entire nation - inculcate bad character. This can not easily be reversed in the individual.
It's a sad commentary on incompatible values. Thousands of years of inculcation and scrambling to survive cannot be eradicated by simply arriving as a refugee in a western country and attempting or not, to integrate. Most of those citizens of such failed states cannot be rehabilitated in one lifetime. Perhaps their children can? Europe, America - the downfall of all civilization.
Yet.... they supposedly come here to the land of freedom to do and to have better. Makes no sense does it?
"supposedly" that's word is carrying a lot of weight.
Culture matters.
Not really. They either want to assimilate to our country, it's form of government and it's laws and learn English - or they don't. Those who do will likely be good neighbors and citizens. Those who don't need to be sent back home.
In truth, those who do want to embrace our country are the ones already coming legally. And they are welcomed! Unfortunately, there are also a lot of jihadists coming legally too, as 9/11 should have taught everyone. Careful and thorough background checks are a must.
Culture is derived from and defined by race. It's not an accident that without fail every single tribe from sub Saharan Africa never invented the wheel or writing or sailing. That none of the tribes in North America managed to domesticate any livestock, or build a single road. I'm so tired of pretending not to notice.
So if a white baby is raised in sub Saharan Africa to and through adulthood they would then have invented the wheel, writing and sailing?
The North American tribes needed roads for what? They had paths in certain their horses and livestock made. Horses were tamed, they aren't born that way. I find it hard to believe they didn't have goats or cows for milk at some point. Did they even try to domesticate other animals? Why would they?
Culture is determined by handed down beliefs and teaching, regardless of color.
Don't be obtuse. A single person doesn't create a culture.
The native tribes of North America didn't domesticate the horse. They learned of them when the Spaniards arrived.
You might find it hard to believe that they didn't have goats or cows for milk, but they didn't. The fact that it's hard to believe they were still living in the Stone Age when we arrived doesn't change the fact that they were, indeed living in the Stone Age.
IQ determines black 'culture', and blacks have a low IQ. Wake up to reality. Your Namby Pamby (weak and ineffectivve) attitude is deplorable because it's what has gotten us to the horrors we're facing. There's nothing noble about your nonsense. It's destructive and stupid.
Small point of fact, horses did not exist in North or South America until they were introduced by the Spaniards in the early 16th century. The breeds of horses that were introduced had long histories of selective breeding and domestication.
To be consistent with the argument, it is not "If a white baby...."; it is "If a white culture.....". Most big groundbreaking inventions and cultural developments occur gradually over many generations. It is obtuse and bit dimwitted to put the invention of the wheel and space travel on the shoulders of a single baby in Sub Saharan Africa. It would better ague that rates of cultural development ar governed by the need for survival. The climate in sub saharan Africa was perfect for hunter / gatherer cultures. Ice age Europe; not so much.
Whites should be racist and acknowledge that they are, because it means you're awake, you think for yourself, and notice behavior patterns. It means you're aware of exactly who is committing violent, hateful crimes against whites.
I disagree. Why hate someone for no reason? Not all whites are good, not all other-than-white are bad.
Again, It is not race that matters it's character.
And in certain cases, yes, a country's religious belief system causes bad character. But the person has a choice, all people do. And there are those who have converted from a "kill all" belief system to Christianity. And those converted continue to speak out and warn against the "kill all" belief systems.
That's the maudlin, weak attitude that got us into this horror.
No it's not. Open borders and lack of any kind of background check is what got us where we are.
Lack of requiring any kind of assimilation or "pledge of allegiance" from those who ARE permitted got us where we are.
There are 11 million illegal immigrants in the country correct?? Are they all of bad character?? All criminals?? How do you tar a whole nationality or ethnic group by or through the actions of a small minority of people?? Are there racketeering Enterprises done by white people??Does that mean that democracy is incompatible with white people?? Of course not. Lol.
And all 11+ million purposely, knowingly broke our laws to enter AND then choose to continue to break our laws every single day they are here, every single day they are paid "under the table", every single day they are paid under a fake/stolen SS#. They do not choose to honor our country, our government and especially not our laws.
Their behavior speaks to their character already.
I don't care what their nationality is. That's the point.
Perhaps 1%, maybe even up to 3%, could be good people, could be truly in need of asylum, could be a productive member of society, could be a true asset to our country and could be someone the US wants to help - as well as learn from. Like our legal immigrants. Our legal immigrants are a tremendous asset, and blessing, in a hundred different ways. A very tight border and thorough background checks would allow those good people to enter while blocking the rest that should be blocked. I don't know the real numbers but I know from decades of living near 2 borders that good people crossing are extremely rare and always have been.
I hope you realize that you are not really talking facts. You are admitting a lot of hatred. The overwhelming majority of these tamales did not walk across the southern border. Lol. They came in legally in the 90s as refugees from the Somali Civil War. Lol. How do you know only 3% are good people?? Based upon the fact that50 people committed a crime?? Lol. You confirm the worst fears of what every liberal says about conservatives. I don’t want to say what that actually is. But you should think about it.
First, where have I used the word Somalis or even named any country at all except our own?
Second, how many times have I differentiated between legal and illegal?
Third, correction to your text; only "50 people" have been CAUGHT. Big difference.
Fourth, to educate you, you should understand that believing in respecting our law and respecting our country is not hatred. Only an illegal, or illegal-loving, person or ignorant Democrat voter would see any hate at all in any of my statements.
Fifth, I already said they weren't official numbers but were based on decades of living against 2 different southern borders and personal experience and 5 years minimum of news stories re crimes by illegals.
Sixth, only a fool would take issue with character being the dominant requirment in allowing legal immigration status.
You have no legitimate argument and are blind to the truth. I will not waste any more of my time responding to you. You're already at the "name calling" stage (you just didn't "say" the word) that is so very typical of your class when you have no sensible argument and have lost your case. I hope your own family never suffers at the hands of an illegal, from anywhere.
Not a lot of logic in your comment. There are how many so-called illegal aliens in the country. 11 million?? How many of them have committed crimes?? Not too many. How many white people have committed crimes in America?? Are they -meaning all white people, therefore incompatible with democracy?? Lol.
All of them have committed an important crime; they are here illegally.
lol. do you know where Somalia is?? Lol. They did not walk across the southern border. I could tell you that. Lol. Most of these Somalis came in the 90s as a result of the Civil War there. They came as refugees. They came legally.lol
59 convictions out of 80k ppl. Ok Nazi.
One billion dollars stolen from the poorest Minnesotans. OK empath?
You should learn what Nazi really is and what they really did. You demean and diminish those millions who suffered starvation and cruel deaths at the hands of Nazis with your flippant and extremely ignorant use of the word.
You left out the 80,000 were also participating they were taking kick backs to have their children entered into autism studies
The parents then started threatening the scammers for larger payouts by moving to another scammer
All 80,000 of them are culpable
Impressive response, well prepared, thoughtful and above all typical of the intellectual laziness that abounds in progressive thought
Thank you for helping to rapidly lessen the impact of that word. "Racist" has long been neutered, now you're killing Nazi. Keep it up!
Excellent reporting....now comes the violence, the expansion of no-go zones, etc. It's happening everywhere else. No reason why it won't happen here. We are fools,
Fantastically concise summary of the liberal counter narrative when such stories come to light
So you believe all 100,000 Somali are thieves because 70 of them are thieves?? state, your beliefs concisely. Lol.
What people are arguing is that, on average, Somalis are more trouble than they are worth. That doesn’t mean every single one is a crook. It means a high percentage of them are, and it’s hard to predict or sort out the bad from the good. The stats show they (as a group) consume more taxes than they produce, that their crime rates are relatively high, that they are not assimilating, that they are sending money back to Somalia that often funds terrorism.
A high percentage of them are criminals?? How do you know this?? Do you know any tamales?? Give me some facts that a high percentage of them are criminals!! How do you know they are not assimilating?? Provide some facts on that also. Somalia funds terrorism?? What do you mean?? Lol the government?? Provide some facts. Reality is you have no facts at all. You’re just repeating what other liars say.
"...America has magic dirt that automatically assimilates people from a dysfunctional low-trust society". Hilarious Love that!
12/05/25: "The next step in the process is for the liberal media to respond.
"Right on cue, CBS News published a story misrepresenting our report and 'debunking' that misrepresentation [something that didn't exist] —a claim that it eventually retracted under pressure."
As if Bari Weiss could POSSIBLY clean up CBS-Pravda!!!
Get ready to pass the hat for her severance pay (pennies only, please).
12/05/25: HERE WE GO AGAIN, RIGHT ON CUE ---
"Tapper's Cringe Suspect Gaffe - CNN anchor Jake Tapper was ripped Thursday after he wrongly referred to accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr. as a 'white guy' ... during his opening segment on 'The Lead.' " (NY Post 12/05/25).
Atta boy, right on schedule, Jake, spokesman for the multi-racial KKK legacy media.
He has no proof that any of the money ended up with Al Shabab and he’s implicating 100,000 people when the crime was done by 20 people. Are there racketeering crimes in America done by white people?? Are white people therefore incompatible with democracy?? Lol.
One indictment I saw was for about 75 people, all but four being Somalis.
Right. I have the numbers wrong. But do 70 people implicate 100,000?? 70 thieves mean that all hundred thousand of thieves really?? There’s not a lot of logic there.
Damn that’s crazy. Hey how many total Somalis are in the area?
Way, way too many.
Ah so the fraudsters comprise a tiny percentage of the overall population then. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
It’s much worse than that, and you know it.
The white American citizens go to jail. There are consequences.
And the Somalis don’t?? Lol.
Not in Minneapolis. They cry racism and the mayor and the governor cave. Thats how the scam was preserved. HHS has screamed for years. Begged for investigations and intervention. Nothing. Nada. Because “racism.”
Well, it’s true that it’s easy to manipulate a liberal on the issue of race. To a liberal all Black people are oppressed. Of course that’s baloney. . But that does not mean that all Somalis are guilty just because a couple dozen committed a huge fraud.
Do you live in Mpls or even MN? If not you are not experiencing this debacle and the daily entitlement this community expects. I agree with you that the # that actually committed the crimes is not the 80,000 population, on the other hand all of the individuals that took the money, provided false data, knew about the fraud and did nothing are complicit. Just as AG Keith Ellison for taking $10,000 campaign donation, as are any state and local officials that shied away of threats of racism, as is the Governor that took action against whistleblower. As are the Dem majority that blew through an $18 B budget surplus under Walz’s watch. All Minnesotans are watching their property taxes double in the last 7 years…that equates to a 10% annual increase per year in addition to the $18B wasted. As Governor Walz said Minnesotans are generous….and we were ignorant and now fleeced.
Agreed. And Somalis are also calling Somalis out. https://substack.com/@thejefferymead/note/c-184237837?r=19oj26&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

12/05/25: Poor Tampon Timmy (Walz). If he'd just kept his mouth shut and ignored Kamala Harris (one of the Sirens on the White House rocks), the spotlight today would likely be elsewhere. How long before he flips and turns state's evidence? Against the Somalis and better yet, against his Chinese Communist handlers. Neither of whom should worry because Walz is so incoherent, his testimony would probably be worthless.
12/05/25: And he thought he was on a bus strangely traveling on iron rails...
Great reporting and congrats on hitting the stratosphere. You continue to be one of the few lights in an otherwise bleak media landscape.
I read it here first lat week. When I posted an attorney’s article, your article was brought up in the Comments, along with hits on your credibility. I think the story has finally reached the point of Common Knowledge. But you’re a racist if you talk about immigrants losing status.
“I’ll suck you off but only if you want, Chris!” -Tony D
Well, aren’t you just a d-bag?
Congrats on hitting the stratosphere Daddy. Notice me!
Why are you even answering? It's called a troll ... just ignore.
You seem to not only broadcast commie class envy but also queer tranny jealousy. What an extra special SAM!
In order to actually reverse this madness and prevent its continuing destruction of our country, the family unification provisions of immigration law need to be revised in order to end chain migration. And the national origin provisions of our laws, erased by Senator Kennedy's 1965 immigration bill, need to be reinstated. These will not be fun debates, but necessary to preserving what is left of our country. We have a right to bring in people who are compatible with our values, and who won't become public charges the minute they arrive.
I don't know about ending family reunification. Didn't some of your families come here piecemeal, men first? My mother's uncles came to America from Russia in about 1912, one became a successful portrait painter, the other went into business. They sent for the female relatives, who also contributed to the economy. If not for that reunification, I think they would have perished in pogroms. Trump has flirted with ending chain migration, but maybe it's sufficient to be selective about which countries'/cultures' immigrants tend not to contribute much once here.
This is not 1912, and in 1912 there was no welfare state. The way it works now is that the people who have already immigrated sponsor their other family members, that is, spouses, children, parents and siblings. Once these people are here legally, they begin consuming public welfare benefits, such as Medicaid. This process can continue, as each new immigrant who becomes a U.S. citizen can also sponsor in all of their relatives. This brings us uneducated, unskilled workers who depress wages. The family unification criteria robs us of the ability to bring in the most useful immigrants, instead allowing the newest immigrants to decide who enters our country.
It isn't 1912 anymore.
Fuck you, fuck your family, and fuck Emma Lazarus

Thank you so much. That is excellent. Falls right in the Nickson column from last weekend that I am still pondering. https://elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/the-electorate-isnt-5050-the-real-a46
37 minutes of absolute shock and horror. No wonder President Trump is going after Venezuela, it's not the oil - it's democracy. This is the chant of Marxist Socialists on the left, who are actually destroying democracy arm-in-arm with the cartels, the Swamp, the Matrix Media, big corporations, et al. Thank you.
We are being betrayed on many levels. The Captain's maps of the US .....
So the crime was committed by 20 people and all 100,000 Somali share the same values of these criminals?? Are there racketeering Enterprises in America done by white people?? Are therefore all white people incompatible with democracy?? Lol.
This is a bald faced lie. 20 people did not do this. Hundreds of people did and all the community participated including their quisling turncoat fraudster Ilhan Omar who should be pitched out for immigration fraud at the least. Several Billions of dollars. Billions with a B sent to terrorists, used to by cars and real estate. No jail. Claw back what can be clawed back. Deport the idiot after denaturalization.
A lot of rage in your comment. But not so many facts. You are correct that I was wrong about two dozen. There are about 70. So your implicating 100,000 tamales due to the crimes of 70. Sound very logical to me. White people commit crimes don’t they. Are all white people therefore incompatible with democracy?? Lol. They are going to jail. Another incorrect fact on your part. And there is no evidence to any of the money ended up with Al Shabab. Another incorrect fact on your part. Why do you say these things without any evidence??
Ilhan Omar is now the richest member of Congress with a net worth of $1 billion due to her third marriage.
Hundreds out of 80k. Do you know how to use math to find that percentage?
Another idiotic comment. Somalis are welfare queens and a drain on the country. Additionally to et are stupid. IQ around 68. Functional idiot so clearly some Democrats likely white out this in place and let them send our tax $ to terrorists. Too bad they didn’t send you.
Yes, thing is, they do share the same values as these criminals. Look at the shrew in Congress. They have no appreciation for the rule of law. And they are Muslims, hostile to our culture. White people founded this country and have a right to be here, regardless of how villainous. Somalis did not and do not. We have a right to ensure that those who come here share our values, and the Somalis obviously do not. lol Den mou arései,kólos.
You say that they all share the same values. How do you know this?? Do you know all 100,000 somalis?? Lol. Obviously your generalizing. Justice is an individual thing remember. If there’s no social justice as the liberals claim, then there’s no social guilt either.
you're
What a pitiful, racist answer you are a disgrace
Reality bites. You have apparently chosen to side with the thieves and fraudsters. Your brainwashing has worked wonderfully. (Who taught you to hate yourself and your own country?) But your education didn't work. There is a difference between values and skin color.
You lie
There can be vast differences between cultures. Apparently these immigrants were happy to help the government by taking the gift.
Yet another episode that proves multiculturalism and globalism undermine and bring down host cultures.
“Obsessive historian” how do you do fellow historians lol pathetic loser
Chris, Good work. I appreciate your ability and willingness to cover sensitive issues with the balance, analysis, and diverse thought necessary to make your pieces persuasive rather than purely provocative.
I have one request. Do not use the term "Rust Belt" again. It is derogatory and alienates a large part of the country. Fly-Over Country is equally bad. Mid-west is just fine. Heartland works as well. Better to acknowledge the hard-working American families in the center of the country than insult them.
Well said, Mark! Heartland is my choice, and I'm not even a native. It's in the middle of the country--its heart, and its spacious lands feed multitudes.
I grew up in a Rust Belt city. It is an accurate term. It was prosperous in my childhood, but has since been plagued with massive amounts of alcoholism and drug abuse. It isn’t immigrants who caused this problem.
Many White Americans are lazy and entitled and resent that immigrants are out hustling, out working, and out earning them. They blame the immigrants for doing what they should be doing.
Hey Rust Belt Faggot
You want to police my speech, move back to the Soviet Union you fucking bitch.
This is AMERICA and I will say whatever the FUCK I want to say
If you don’t fucking like it, please put a gun in your mouth and have a conversation with it. 🖕
You couldn't have much of a conversation with a gun in your mouth. You need a better metaphor.
What underlies this appalling story is the great cancerous bureaucratic/lawfaring Blob that we in the West have allowed to grow undercover of our supposedly democratic system. "Its bogus virtue-signalling vanities our culture has mislabelled as an excess of caring and compassion. During the course of my lifetime, the worst censure these people have generally faced (at least until recently) is being viewed as a bit irritatingly ‘do-gooding’. Their psychological motivation has tended to be misdiagnosed as one of good intentions...if sometimes taken too far. But more often than not it is in fact nothing of the sort. It is more truly an amalgam of holier-than-thou narcissism, selective outrage and in-crowd groupthink. These people – and they now number in the millions - have had an incredibly lucky run in recent decades, given the harm they have done. A large proportion of them are graduate professionals making a comfortable living from sucking (either directly or indirectly) on the public teat. All the while doing all they can to pick apart the culture that both sustains and funds them. It would be impossible to prove, of course, but I have read, down the years, reasonably plausible citings of evidence that real, personal acts of generosity is something actually more to be found amongst people who lean conservative Right than amongst Progressives." https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/awful-people
It is not racist to identify fraudsters who happen to be “black or brown,” yet that is what huckster Ilhan Omar and so many liberals hide behind.
Send them all back to Somalia. And no welfare for any immigrants who come here. You must pay your own way.
Funny how these “black” or “brown” criminals magically become “white” in their police reports 🤨
Are your children’s books about how Hitler was misunderstood and collective punishment is good?
Perhaps you ought to stop with ad hominem attacks and discuss facts instead.
So it’s wrong to send all of the Somalians who committed fraud and/or are here illegally back to their home country?
We heard similar bigotry directed toward the Irish and Germans in the 1850s, the Italians a few decades later, and the Jews in the early 20th century. The same bigots opposed fighting the Nazis and called themselves “America First”. History is repeating.
No, but whites should be racist and acknowledge that they are, because it means you're awake, you think for yourself, and notice behavior patterns. It means you're aware of exactly who is committing violent, hateful crimes against whites.
Even legal permanent residents are ineligible for most public welfare programs.
As always, Chris, excellent reporting. High time these and so many other flagrant violations perpetrated by illegal (and some legal) immigrants were brought to light. Thank you and your colleagues for this valuable service.
Walz must go. Along with his AG. And crooked NGO’s.
CIA subsidized immigration of third world cultures - a journalist could make a career on various aspects of this mess. Then you could become rich suing liberal media for misrepresentation and slander. The progressive gift that keeps on giving.
I would have used "grift".
The real problem that you, Chris Rufo, have presented to the left and the NYTs with your report in the Somali-led mega fraud in Minneapolis isn't that "The uncomfortable truth for Times readers is that all cultures are not equal..." it is that not all cultures have the same levels of virtue, honesty and value for human flourishing. You've made this obvious. The left has worked for decades to obfuscate this under the smoke of being nonjudgemental. But we have to be judgemental because we have to make choices for society, to determine our morals and mores and, ultimately, to write and enforce law. So you have really thrown a big, heavy spanner into the gears of the leftwing, Marxist, CRT machine once again, because it is from that source that "not judging" emerges. Bravo!
“not all cultures have the same levels of virtue, honesty, and value”
True. The US now has one of the lowest levels. It elected and re-elected a President who is a licentious seducer and abuser who cheated on three wives and fathered a child out of wedlock, who was convicted of 34 felonies from his attempt to silence a porn star with whom he had had an affair, who defames anyone who disagrees with him with slanderous lies, who has enriched himself and his family at the public trough, and is attempting a Stalin-like personality cult.
Why shouldn’t the Somali immigrants imitate him?
While I agree in principle with your comment. However the Islamization of the west is an exponentially greater threat, if not the greatest threat, to the west than Cuban criminals.
People said the same about Catholics and Jews. There are now twice as many Jews as Muslims in the US, and 20x as many Catholics. The US is not threatened by either. Religious bigotry is un-American.
All this while Walz was more interested in installing tampon dispensers in boys restrooms. Additionally, this is simply one more proof point that diversity is not necessarily a strength, and in cases of significant cultural misalignment, it is disruptive and dangerous.
Well done most definitely. I've been following many of your stories since 2021 when you did a story on Raytheon regarding DEI for which I was presenting working. I retired at that point when they were forcing COVID-19 shots. I pushed your article on DEI to the President of Raytheon for which I felt strongly about. He was nevertheless not pleased but you're story was the absolute truth. Thank you for so many profound articles.
Great reporting and true on all counts regarding not all cultures being the same.
However, and in no way is this meant to be a criticism. The point of incompatibility is 20 years too late in the US and decades longer in Europe.
Yes I agree with Steve B, 20 years too late, Europe is lost America is close. I am Canadian, Canada is well and truly gone.
Not truly. These countries have armies whose soldiers take oaths to protect their nations. Mobilize the armies - round up and deport whoever and whatever are existential threats. Sounds draconian? It is. But the results of doing nothing will be far worse - and truly the overthrow of nations who stand idly by -
Yes! Mobilize the armies. Draconian is what's needed to fix the horror we're experiencing across Western civilization. Saying things like 'cultures aren't compatible' and 'they're not assimilating' isn't going to solve anything. We need to take pitiless measures to put a stop to the white genocide that's happening. The third world, low-IQ nonwhites are brought here to destroy whites and the civilization we've built over the centuries. It's time for harsh actions without regard to humanitarian ideals. We do not owe these worthless parasites anything. It's time to face that fact and get rid of them by any means necessary. The military should round them up like Hitler did the Jews! I don't want to hear the word fair. It's fair to eliminate these worthless parasites like they're an invading army occupying our land. I don't want to hear 'it's not who we are'. We must be decisive and get rid of this trash. That must be who we are.
How is Canada gone? Hasn’t only a few urban centers been affected?
steve B used the word “incompatibility”. Canada is fully deracinated, uprooted, there is no culture. It has been swamped out through mass immigration. So the old Canada cannot be reanimated and the new Canada is just an amalgamation of foreigners Who have no shared values, history, culture or religion. We are fully adrift and it is accelerating. The future is tribalism within Canada, which will manifest into wars, Low level internecine conflict between ingoup and outgroup.
20 years?…au contraire. recall when Pres Carter allowed Cuba to empty its prisons and send them to the US under cover of the Mariana Boat Lift. (Poor gullible Jimmy, the road to hell is paved with “ProgLib” intentions).
it was the semi-debacle that Pres Clinton fomented in Somalia (Blackhawk Down) in the cause of peace keeping that this particular cultural felony originates from. There was not then, and there isn’t now a valid rationale for importing the detritus of the Horn of Africa to a country (to include the EU) that is at the other end of a spectrum representing Western Culture and its basis in national values.
@M- yes. My BIL, his parents, and siblings- all who escaped Cuba in '63- were ABHORRED when that happened.
somewhere in the NYT photo archives is a picture of lil’ Chelsea wearing a Che Guevara tee-shirt. the image of Castros’ torturer-in-chief is a world class graphic, but it portrays world class evil. you’d think God would have put less fools in the world.
@M- God gave us free will. We're supposed to police each other.
Why isn’t ICE actively identifying every illegal immigrant that is getting public aid and deporting them? (I know many of the Somalians were legal, but the point stands).
California, for example, is giving MediCal to millions of illegals. Intentionally! Time to send them home.
Not just MediCal. Free legal assistance, food, housing, cash etc. Now they want a new wealth tax to cover abysmal budget gap.
Cali is eat up with illegals which have voted these folks into office. It will not change for Cali until the Feds move in and clean it out. ICE is doing the best it can with the politicians in the worst states funding the push back.
