Americans’ moving south of the border has become a big business. Some areas of Mexico attract so many American and Canadian retirees they become gringo colonies, for example the beautiful central Mexican colonial town San Miguel de Allende, the subject of a new book, Expat Life: At Home in San Miguel de Allende. But the journey south isn’t always a choice. Many move because they have to—they can’t afford life in the U.S., where the elites are busy Electing a New, Impoverished People, and the economy is forcing middle-class Americans to seek refuge elsewhere.
Thus, a whole genre of how-to books suggests the business of moving south is booming. Here are four of at least nine titles at Amazon:
One man you might want to consult, if you can tolerate his irascible temper, is Fred Reed, the Ernest Hemingway wannabe who frequently fires off strange screeds about VDARE.com (and Ann Coulter) from the picturesque lakeside town of Ajijic in West-Central Mexico, and never answers our rebuttals.
But why do people move South? Peter Brimelow’s old rag MarketWatch explored this in a story about a woman who retired in Mexico:
Janet Blaser knows a thing or two about reinvention. Once a food and restaurant writer in Santa Cruz, Calif., the now-63-year-old struggled to find work roughly a decade ago as journalism increasingly moved online. She lost one beloved job, got her hours cut at another, and ended up working odd jobs, including one in human resources at an amusement park. With little savings and a low salary, the single mother of three struggled — even as she watched friends buy million-dollar homes and pricey cars. “I constantly felt like I wasn’t ‘enough’ and didn’t have ‘enough,’ ” she writes in her new book, Why We Left, which profiles 27 expats in Mexico.
[She’s 63 and living by the beach in Mexico on $1,000 a month: ‘I can’t imagine living in the U.S. again,’ by Catey Hill, August 15, 2019]
White House aide Stephen Miller was heroically on the front line again this Sunday: Stephen Miller praises Trump for having the ‘courage to stand up’ and put migrant children in jail, by David Edwards, rawstory.com, August 25, 2019. (“Migrant Children,” of course, is Main Stream Media-speak for the get-out-of-detention-free alleged dependents of illegal infiltrators). And last Sunday, August 17, MSM bellwethers New York Times and Washington Post published simultaneous hit pieces on him [How Stephen Miller Seized the Moment to Battle Immigration, by Jason DeParle], [How Stephen Miller authors Trump’s immigration policy, by Nick Miroff and Josh Dawsey]. The Treason Lobby consensus: Miller is a hateful bigot, the evil genius behind President Trump’s “anti-immigrant” a.k.a. pro-American policies. But does Miller really deserve this glowing praise?
The paradox, needless to say missed by the MSM: Miller has reportedly kneecapped other White House immigration patriots to fortify his power. Thus Trump’s true friends—America First immigration patriots—are less influential at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue than they should be. The question: Is Stephen Miller worth this price?
Let’s stipulate: Miller does indeed appear to be the only person stopping Trump from betraying his base and backing down on immigration—which is of course why WaPo and the NYT unsheathed their knives.
WaPo portrayed Miller somewhat fairly, and focused on his role at the White House, with sources there providing material for the story. But NYT’s DeParle, notorious for his 1994 hatchet job on Charles Murray, depicted Miller as a hateful villain and purportedly exposed the dark roots of his “bigotry” by quoting resentful high school classmates and political opponents.
Both outlets employed classic MSM smear techniques. Compare the smear campaign against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Different tone aside, both profiles convey the same message: Miller is an effective operator who has single-handedly kept immigration a priority in the White House. Both portray Miller as a committed activist who learned of the immigration problem at an early age—his experiences in a multicultural high school in rapidly-changing California made him an immigration patriot. A conservative firebrand at Duke University, he earned national attention for his defense of the wrongfully-accused Duke lacrosse players, complained about the War On Christmas, worked for hardline conservative Rep. Michelle Bachmann, then segued over to immigration patriot Sen. Jeff Sessions, a position that allowed him to lead the charge against Amnesty. He joined Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 and quickly became the chief speechwriter and a prime policy-shaper.

In the last 48 hours, more than 15,000 people have tweeted about VDARE.com.
CNN’s Rachel Maddow and Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar have weighed in, as has the Department of Justice. Our story has been covered by USA Today, Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, Business Insider, Forward, The Guardian, Vox, Snopes, Buzzfeed, Daily Beast, The Hill, Newsweek, The Guardian and more.
I’ve heard it said that the flak only gets heavy when you’re over the target. We’ve got the flak today, and we need your help to stay fueled up and fighting!
Why all the attention? It’s mostly a tempest in a teapot. Or rather, a smear tornado in a fake news media bubble.
On Monday, VDARE.com’s pseudonymous whistleblower “Federale” published a blog examining the Justice Department’s move to decertify the union of immigration judges (NAIJ) and identifying two such judges as radical amnesty advocates. In the same way that democracy means “rule by the people,” the word “kritarchy” means “rule by judges,” and Federale accurately described the union president, Judge Ashley Tabaddor, as a kritarch for her role in undermining the executive branch through abuse of her position.
Federale’s article was included in a news round-up that landed in Tabaddor’s inbox. She was triggered. Incredibly, Tabaddor claimed that the word “kritarch” was “deeply offensive and Anti-Semitic.” She demanded that the email be withdrawn, and apology issued, and that “EOIR should take all appropriate safety and security measures for all judges…”
The story was picked up by Buzzfeed and we immediately refuted her crazy accusations.
VDARE.com is enjoying one of its periodic 15 seconds of Main Stream Media infamy. The reason, as usual, is nothing to do with us—it’s just that MSM journalists/ Leftist activists think they see a chance to smear the entirely innocent (if appallingly ignorant) Trump Administration. Plus, of course—and this is true regardless of politics—these millennial MSM mouthpieces are stunningly incurious and the internet has made possible a sort of echo chamber journalism in which they all quote each other, often inaccurately, with no need to get out of their e-bubble. But the real moral of this story: it is absolutely essential that patriots develop their own media networks—and fund them.
The story so far: our pseudonymous whistleblower Federale recently blogged Bill Barr Moving To Control The Immigration "Judges" By Decertifying Their Union.
Someone in the Justice Department included Federale's blog in an internal e-roundup of immigration news because it was, you know, NEWS.
This criticism incensed immigration "Judge" Ashley Tabaddor, who by an amazing coincidence happens to be President of the Immigration “Judges” Union (they’re actually just Executive Branch bureaucrats, like insurance claims adjusters). She wrote a letter [PDF] to the director of the Department of Justice’s Executive Office For Immigration Review, James McHenry, demanding that he
withdraw the email and issue an apology to all immigration judges, including those mentioned in the post. Separately, EOIR should take all appropriate safety and security measures for all judges mentioned in this posting…
(This last sentence is, of course, part of the Left’s campaign to stigmatize all patriot dissent as potentially violent—unlike Antifa).
Incredibly—unless you know these people—Tabaddor claimed that Federale’s description of Immigration “judges” as “kritarchs” (judges who rule without regard to democratic control) was “deeply offensive and Anti-Semitic.” We immediately refuted her crazy accusation here.
