Senate Democrats walked out of negotiations on border security this week. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Republican demands for border security were too much for Democrats to stomach. In retaliation, Republicans blocked passage of a Senate bill to fund Ukraine and Israel. The root of the impasse: the Great Replacement invasion by illegal aliens at the southwest border. Treason Lobbyists now say the Biden Administration made a serious error in trying to entice Republicans to vote vast sums for Ukraine and Israel by offering improved border security because it has let the immigration genii out of the bottle [Biden Tied Ukraine Aid to Border Security, and It Backfired on Him, by Zolan Kanno-Youngs, New York Times, December 8, 2023]. With border agents handling a record number of illegals at the southwest border, the survival of the American nation is at stake.

Republican demands would do much to secure the border. But Democrats whine that the current immigration negotiations force them to concede to GOP demands with nothing in return. “It became pretty apparent by the end of last week that we were the only ones compromising. There’s still an opportunity to come back to the table,” said Connecticut’s Chris Murphy, the lead Democrat negotiator [The GOP demands that caused Democrats to walk out of border talks, by Joseph Zeballos-Roig, Semafor, December 4, 2023].

Yet Republican demands are not that extreme. Their opening pitch demanded a border wall, the reinstatement of Remain in Mexico, reforming abused asylum policies that allow illegal aliens to stay here and avoid deportation, and curbs on the Biden Regime’s power to grant parole. Though notorious cuck Thom Tillis led the Republican side, the party stuck to its demands. House Speaker Mike Johnson encouraged his Senate colleagues to stick to a hard line [House Speaker Johnson is insisting on sweeping border security changes in a deal for Ukraine aid, by Stephen Groves and Lisa Mascaro, Associated Press, December 5, 2023].

Republicans seem remarkably united on

LEGAL IMMIGRATION FINALLY SURFACED IN THE FOURTH GOP DEBATE—at 6:22 when Governor Ron DeSantis attacked  it (admittedly in the context of importing antisemitism, but whatever) and, perhaps more important,  at 8:20 when Vivek Ramaswamy said:

…the Great Replacement Theory is not some grand rightwing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party’s platform.

Of course this is true, but who else has the courage to say it?

One hundred years ago, Lord Birkenhead, the then Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain and a piratical upwardly mobile product of the same socially marginal English school I attended some 75 years later, caused a great scandal by remarking in a Rectorial Address to the University of Glasgow that the world continued to offer glittering prizes to those with ”stout hearts and sharp swords.”

By sheer imagination and courage, Vivek Ramaswamy is illustrating this principle. As of course does former Trump aide Stephen Miller [Tweet him], whom I continue to regard as America’s first Jewish president, cf. Britain’s Benjamin Disraeli.

Overall, my take as a thirty-year veteran of the Immigration Wars: As I said after the second GOP debate, the GOP has come a long way on immigration.

Here is the video:

Black Harvard President Claudine Gay was reportedly the Republicans’ top target in Tuesday’s House hearing on campus antisemitism [5 takeaways from college antisemitism hearing, by  Bianca Quilantan, Politico, December 5, 2023]. This criticism must have been a rude shock to Gay because she has previously soared comfortably upward on one of the most powerful thermals in modern U.S. life: black privilege in academe. Ever since the Floyd Hoax in 2020, traditionally white colleges and universities have been on a hiring binge of blacks for president or chancellor. Other beneficiaries: Daryll Pines (University of Maryland), Gregory Washington, right (George Mason), Vincent Rougeau (Holy Cross), Michael Drake (University of California), Dwight McBride (The New School), and William Tate IV (Louisiana State University). Some may be qualified, but we all know that’s not why they were hired. They were hired because they advanced the reigning anti-white regime called “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “equity,” properly known as DIE.

“Stefanik, who arguably gave Gay the worst grilling at the hearing, stood firm on her previous call for Gay to resign from the job she has had for five months.”

It’s long past time for @Harvard President Claudine Gay to resign. She needs to be fired. https://t.co/Y2puJgOTjZ

The numbers are revealing. Of the 336 people hired to head colleges and universities from June 1 through November 30, 2021, 25.3 percent were black [Diversity on the Rise Among College Presidents, by Doug Lederman, Inside Higher Ed, February 13, 2022]. That’s twice the black share of the U.S. population. Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 64.6 percent of the new hires, down from 78 percent during the previous 18 months. That some were headed for “Historically Black Colleges and Universities” only slightly alters the fact of black overrepresentation [What is an HBCU? Sites.Ed.gov]. What happened to Historically White Schools?

This black binge in college hiring is all the more striking because, across the entire college spectrum, black graduation rates lag well behind those of whites. A study in 2019 showed that 64 percent of whites and 74 percent of Asians who entered a four-year college in 2010 complete a degree at the same institution (i.e., did not drop out or transfer) within six years. By contrast, only 40 percent of blacks did so [Status and Trends in the Education of Racial and Ethnic Groups, National Center for Education Statistics].

Blackness advocates claim that blacks enrolled at predominantly white campuses would improve their grades if they had greater “access” to black mentors. Consumed by guilt, white officials have responded by insisting on diversifying faculty and administration. Over time, campuses have created ever-growing bureaucracies staffed by apparatchiks fanatically dedicated to reducing the presence of whites, expanding the presence of nonwhites, and disciplining those who object.

GOP mega-donors are appalled that Gov. Ron DeSantis prohibited kindergarten teachers from sharing anal sex cartoons with their students. Must be some kind of fundamentalist nut.

But a candidate who wants to entirely ban a social media app as bad for children? That’s our gal!

Nikki Haley has vowed to shut down TikTok, right after she declares war on the entire world.

In case you are not one of the 150 million Americans on TikTok, it is a China-based video-sharing app, primarily used by teenagers to post short reels of themselves lip-synching, pranking, dancing and creating optical illusions. Also cute animal videos. Also book reviews. #BookTok has multiple billions of views every year.

Haley’s freakout over an app is only the latest in a long line of hysterias that seems to greet every new technology, particularly those popular with teenagers. (“Hysteria” is from the Greek word “hystera,” meaning uterus.)

Jeremy Beck of NumbersUSA recently managed to smuggle an op-ed into the immigration-enthusiast New York Post

…the solution for overwhelmed communities then remains the only one that’ll work now—the federal government must humanely, but credibly, scale immigration back to a more sustainable level…

 in response to public pressure … Congress sharply reduced immigration in 1924.

He is of course referring to what, in my opinion, is the greatest piece of legislative statesmanship produced by Congress in the 20th century. It was celebrated in July by John Derbyshire: It’s 100 Years Since Calvin Coolidge, Who Signed The 1924 Immigration Cutoff Into Law, Was Sworn In As President!
