Follow that logic a bit further and you have a really good point...

Well I don't object to frozen water, it is what ICE really stands for!

Oh yes? OK, you are against Immigration?

Well no!

OK, then it's Customs you don't like?

of course not!

Well that leaves Enforcement....so you don't like enforcement of the law?

YES!

Why?

Because it is BAD LAW!

do you know who makes immigration law and who has the power to change the immigration law? Is it (a) ICE, or (b) the president, or (c) Congress, or (d) none of the above?

There is zero “Democratic” about the Democrats. It’s totally a misnomer and an affront to the meaning of the word. They have always and forever been known as the Democrats. Somewhere in the not so distant past they started using the term Democratic Party and MSM picked it up and somehow it stuck with a lot of people. For me, I like to call a spade a spade and call them fascist nazis!

I don't even *dislike* people from other cultures, even *radically* different cultures. I just want what Teddy Roosevelt wanted. Any man (or because this is 2025, any woman) who comes to America and *wants to be an American* I will welcome as my brother or sister. We truly are a nation of immigrants, and some of the best Americans I know are those who came from the very worst countries and embraced what we are.

Anyone who comes here and wants to destroy what we are should go the fuck home, before they get sent there in a pine box. And honestly, ashes are cheaper to mail.

Mitch's avatar

agreed. The turn towards giving welfare benefits of all sorts to migrants can account for much of the difference in attitude. Of course, some cultures just don't mix well with ours. That needs to be realized, accepted and included in any immigration law. They'll call it racist, xenophobic, blah blah but who cares.

Expand full comment
Warmek's avatar

I mean, some of those folks come from the worst cultures that are imiscible with ours, but they are folks who wanted something else.

But unadulterated immigration with no impulse to assimilate is nonviable.

I sincerely agree that some folks just aren't suited for life here, but I've said the exact same thing about folks from Europe who want Europe instead of America. It's really quite simple. If you don't want to live in America, **DON'T FUCKING MOVE HERE**.

Only on a positive energy society. (We get to define "positive"- it means like us.)

El Gato Malo has a nice formulation; he defines societies as "High Trust" and otherwise. And the high trust situations observably have a background of Christian morality, which circles back to the appeal of Mr. Charles Kirk.

But Japanese society also appears "high trust"on the basis of social conformity. Except that fingerprint scanning at Narita in transit in 2008 did not make me feel trusted.

My position is that there should be no welfare at the federal level. That would fix the biggest part of the illegal immigrant welfare problem.

Charity begins in the home, and if your city or local church decide to backstop people, that is great, good, and humane.

Local control and funding makes it easier to extend or pull back as appropriate, and target benefits and restrictions sensibly.

If your state implements a welfare system, it will probably be too far divorced from the problems it’s trying to solve, but at least a state is easier to leave than the entire U.S.

I couldn't agree more. And distribution of federal taxpayer funds through "NGO's" should be against the law.

TIOK's avatar

You're right about some things not mixing. There are people who believe that our ideals of equality under law are intolerable. The thing to remember is most people escaping the places controlled by those cultural ideas are NOT the ones controlling and enforcing those ideas. That is what they are escaping. Sure, there's bad actors taking advantage of our openness and tolerance, but I'm sure those are not the majority.

The whole "racist" thing is just stupid. Enforcing immigration law as written is not racist. Nor is the "America first" idea (which is the norm in most other nations). National identity and race are different things. The words matter.

Ultimately if you have a problem with ICE it is because you have a problem with the law enacted (and that can be changed) by congress.

Expand full comment
TIOK's avatar

Seems very rational. Key to "nation of immigrants" is the definition of an immigrant: someone who has complied with immigration law.

IMO current law needs work. It's too easily profiteered by a few (look into H1 visas) and abused, and IMO strays form the ideal and our history. Which is why I lobby members of congress to fix it. Because it is only congress that can fix it.

I know quite a few real immigrants, and you nailed it. The are some of the most American advocates I know. They are some great examples of great Americans, too. They bring with them different cultures, they integrate the best of what they had with the best of what they can achieve in our culture - and many come from places where there was zero opportunity and even some from places where even speaking about changing the circumstances of one's birth can get one imprisoned or worse. Which is one reason they celebrate being American.

Anyway--If the Right has the stones to hurl the Democrats into the wilderness for a quarter-century or so a new healthy party might have a chance to grow. Right now, even the Dems considered moderate once upon a time have chosen to be craven liars for the duration. There's no one of even modest claims to decency.

There ain't much useful to work with on the Republican side neither, though. All we got is the White House--and maybe the kids of TPUSA.

First of all, I genuinely prefer words and photos, over video, other than Bonnie's photo, I watched none of the abso-f-ing-lutely infuriating bloviation from the new Bolsheviks.

You asked if they simply didn't understand the consequences. I would counter with, why would they? They have never been held accountable for any of their actions, words or sociopathic rantings, ever.

I can't say I'm a fan of either (any) "party" at this point, but if the demonic, excuse me, democratic party would burn itself down to the pit of hell never to return, I would not shed a tear.

Expand full comment
Rikard's avatar

There are two possible consequences for their actions, if I'm to cut to the quick of it:

1) They get stomped on. This validates all their claims, both to themselves but also to many of their backers and the people sympathetic to them on points, but not on methods. Antifa and similar groups know how to utilise this as a resource.

2) They get to continue. This means the more they act up, the more their opponents retreat and the more the opinions and actions of Antifa et al become normalised; eventually, their violence becomes the norm and anyone acting against them become - conceptually and often in praxis - a lawbreaker and a wrongdoer.

Example:

The White man who put a stop to a black man's violent assault and behaviour on a NY subway last year is a perfect example. Blacks have been allowed to grow ever more violent and criminal ever since the early 1990s - therefore, the current normal is that blacks being violent or looting may not be interferred with and anyone (esp. if White) doing so is a criminal.

You can witness the process as it happens if you look at the now-islamic areas of Michigan. Before 2030, moslem rule over those areas will be the normal and the norm, and any oppostion to it even from non-moslems living there will be treated as criminal acts.

TIOK's avatar

That might be a good start ;-)

I agree with our first president who warned that national political parties will undermine a representative republic. It has become so. The national parties dominate state (and local) races, dumping massive money in to control outcomes. Without the party's support winning is unlikely, and so this is how they control state legislatures, senators, representatives and governors. Which then affects control of appointments. All driven by a national agenda.

The main difference between D and R is that the R hasn't been very good at it the last few decades

A lot of Democrats view political violence as a kind of make believe, LARP activity. Remember that "dance" at the Grammys during the summer of love that involved throwing Molotov cocktails?

It's all romanticized, and when shit gets real like it has in the past few weeks, normal center lefties lose their appetite for it, but the profoundly mentally ill types want to keep going because of their self-righteous, Manichean worldview.

I hope there are still normies left to peel off the stinky onion of the Democrat party.

I get that in their circles they risk exile if they admit voting against the Democrats. I hoped last election those who wouldn’t publicly admit their disgust would do so under cover of the secret ballot. But over 48% of voters marked their ballots for Kamala Harris last election.

In the 1990s there was the “super predator” scare, which didn’t seem to have much factual basis (though this country has never faced a dire shortage of violent young people). It came back to bite Hillary in 2016, as I recall, when tough on crime was no longer on the Dems’ dance card.

But doesn’t it feel like maybe there’s something really different and unnerving about who’s coming up now? And we get the twofer: super predator classic, with the urban youth who seem to know no bounds of violence; plus the politicized legions dedicated to realizing the earthly paradise one corpse at a time.
