NYC Spent Millions on Deportation Defense for Migrants — Who Were Crippling the City

By Selwyn Duke

 

Is “Put America Last” the immigrationists’ slogan? It’s not enough that Joe Biden said in 2020 that many illegal aliens are “more American than most Americans are.” It’s not enough that New York City has spent literally billions of dollars on hotel rooms for illegals. It’s not enough that the Big Apple shelled out more than $50 million on prepaid credit cards for migrants. It’s not enough that NY has offered illegals driver’s licenses. Because there’s a kicker, too.

All the while the city was also spending millions on a program providing lawyers who defend the interlopers against deportation.

What’s more, a New York jurisdiction that dared cooperate with federal authorities’ deportation efforts has been fined $60 million.

It’s the immigrationist conception of virtue: Open the borders and invite illegals in — then treat them better than citizens.

Starmer: Rape-gang-inquiry Goal “Far Right” Concern. Is Child Sex Abuse a Leftist “Lifestyle Choice” Now?

By Selwyn Duke

Philosopher C.S. Lewis once noted that it’s what slips from our mouths when we’re not thinking that reveals our hearts. This could come to mind with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s claim that those demanding an inquiry into child-abusing rape gangs are jumping “on a bandwagon of the far Right.”

Delivered at a Monday press conference, Starmer’s comments were in response to a firestorm of criticism ignited by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk had resurrected the rape-gang story via his X social-media platform mere days ago, as I reported this weekend.

The prime minister’s efforts at flipping the script appear to have backfired, however. That is, many critics say that implicit in his remarks is that child sex abuse is just a right-wing concern. History may inform that he’s not all wrong about that, either (more on this later). Also notable here is that this controversy is shaping up to be a classic Establishment/anti-Establishment conflict.

H-1B Blues: Dividing MAGA, Americans From Their Jobs — and America From Americanism

By Selwyn Duke

To H-1B or not to H-1B, that is the question. As is well known, and as is well loved by Democrats, there currently is an immigration battle among Republicans. Pitting the forces of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy against those of anti-immigrationist Laura Loomer and political strategist Steve Bannon, the dispute concerns H-1B visas, which are used to bring foreign high-tech workers into the U.S. The issue evokes deep passion, too, and for good reason. Musk himself came to America via an H-1B and declares that bringing new talent into the U.S. is necessary for our continued preeminence. His opponents counter that the program is actually used to replace American-born employees with foreigners who’ll work more cheaply. This is often true, too.

Also true, but rarely discussed despite being the most important issue, is that H-1B doesn’t just separate Americans from jobs. It also separates America from Americanism. That is, there’s a point that Musk, Ramaswamy, and most conservatives miss. (More on this later.)

Gov. Abbott Erects Signs in Mexico: “How Much Did You Pay to Have Your Daughter Raped?”

By Selwyn Duke

In 2005, the Mexican government distributed comic-book-style manuals instructing migrants on how to enter and remain in the U.S. illegally. Now, a generation later, new messages are being sent to would-be illegal aliens.

“How much did you pay to have your daughter raped? Many girls are raped by the coyotes you hire,” is one.

“Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” reads another. “Coyotes lie. “Don’t put your family at risk.”

“Many girls who try to migrate to Texas are kidnapped,” yet another message warns. “For the sake of your family, stop.”

And, no, the above don’t come with trigger warnings.

Deportation: Do We “Please Migrants” — or Muster Up the Guts to Save America?

By Selwyn Duke

“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder,” said historian Arnold Toynbee. Slow suicide is tragic, too. It may be obvious that a man hooked on drugs or alcohol is headed toward destruction. Yet he still may be unable to kick his addictions. And so it is with civilizations and their addictions to bad ideas and tendencies. Examples are immigrationism and bleeding-heart, misguided compassion — both of which threaten the U.S.’s existence.

Commentator Pat Buchanan, after noting that it was hard-nosed men who founded and forged our nation, once asked if we today possess the intestinal fortitude to preserve their creation. The answer may be no, too, if Americans can’t demonstrate the virtue necessary for a certain civilization-preserving act: mass deportations.

Note also the congruence to this prescription. Mass deportation corresponds to mass migration, the latter of which has been orchestrated, calculatingly and illegally, by our immigrationist pseudo-elites.

Mexicans May be Even More Fed Up With Migration Than Trump Is

By Selwyn Duke

“‘We’ve been invaded,’ she said, standing outside a restaurant where she works,” wrote USA Today earlier this month, quoting a fed up woman. “‘I changed my opinion (about them), because I live in a place where we didn’t see any of this. But now everywhere there are people who aren’t from here.’” Was this a MAGA-hatted America-first zealot in Hazleton, Pennsylvania? Springfield, Ohio? Dearborn, Michigan? Portland, Maine? Actually, the lady is a Mexican.

A real Mexican, that is — living in Mexico. And, yes, she’s disgusted with how migrants are changing her community. She’s not alone in her sentiment, either, which could be one reason Mexicans are enthusiastically sending migrant caravans our way. And this is another reason why we should build a wall, strong and tall, and deport them all. (And let the immigrationist lobby bawl.)

Town Fined 10K for Not Celebrating “Pride” Month — and Other Foreign Craziness

By Selwyn Duke

With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization continues down the rabbit hole of relativism. We have many such examples, too — they’re called foreign countries.

U.S. in a “State of Undeclared Emergency,” Report Warns

By Selwyn Duke

“If you want peace, prepare for war,” goes the adage. Yet in the U.S. in recent decades, it’s as if we’ve been preparing for peace while waging war. The result?

Our stockpiles of weapons are so dangerously low that we have only one to three weeks of munitions available for a major conflict. Worse still:

We no longer can produce weapons sufficiently fast to replenish these stocks during such a conflict.

AMERICAN Kids Train to Be Like PLA Soldiers and Police Officers at Hitler Youth-style Chinese Camps

By Selwyn Duke

It’s a shocking story. Thousands of American kids have, over time, been attending camps in China run by a Beijing intelligence and influence agency. Once there, the youths are indoctrinated with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda. Some are even given military training and may be taught to act like “Little Overseas Chinese Police.”

This information, revealed in a report released Monday by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), is par for Beijing’s course. The Chinese regime has long been injecting its propaganda into American schools via its “Confucius Institutes.” It has been using Chinese-market-access-denial threats to bully U.S. businesses into doing its bidding and to, incredibly, censor our movies. Beijing even has operatives on American soil who harass Chinese-descent dissidents and try to forcibly return them to China.
