About 160M people would like to immigrate
to the US. Here's what that means

Currently, Americans aren’t reproducing at the replacement rate. So, some level of immigration will be needed in order to prevent a disastrous population implosion. But how much immigration should we have, and on what basis should we select our immigrants? When someone in a poorer country says she wants to become an American, it’s not nice to say no. It also makes me a bit uneasy for our government to select would-be immigrants based on the purported “value” of those immigrants. On the other hand, an immigration lottery is so arbitrary that it seems its own sort of cruelty. The alternative, which very few people openly advocate, is open borders:

Do these 160M people want to come here legally or just walk across the border? I will bet you that most of the world believes everyone in the United States live like the people portrayed in the movies. And all for free!

Biden’s “open borders”, and “catch and release” unlawful schemes along with him completely ignoring the immigration laws passed by Congress, has made the borderline unmanageable, and has allowed millions of illegal aliens from the third world to flood into the USA. Coincidentally just about all of those illegal aliens fit within the minority categories of Democrat identity politics. Biden has been ridiculously saying that he considers those illegal aliens to be analogous to the Jewish people who fled Nazi persecution before and during the Second World War, and that they must be allowed to gain entry to the USA to individually apply for asylum in the USA because “that’s who we are”. Now we have the media telling us that there are 160 million people in foreign countries who would like to enter and resettle in the USA to make essentially a better life for their families and for themselves. If such a mass migration ever got up a head of steam with tens of millions actually and continuously unlawfully crossing Biden’s “open borders” in violation of the immigration laws under the fraudulent guise that they are all eligible for asylum in the USA, chances are the country before long would no longer exist as it is today and would devolve into a third world like country. The reason that Biden, supported by the leftist Democrats, are allowing such a mass illegal migration, as we see today, is all political, as Biden and the leftist Democrats objective clearly is to use as many poor, supposedly socialist oriented, and uneducated third world illegal aliens as possible to permanently change the electoral and population demographics of the country, believing that just about all of the incoming illegal aliens will embrace the socialist Democrat political agenda, and will become leftist Democrat supporters and in the years ahead, and most importantly to the leftist Democrats, a new and massive leftist Democrat voting constituency that will keep growing unabated as new illegal aliens are granted Democrat designed amnesties, become leftist Democrat voters, and in overwhelming numbers overwhelm and wipe out the wimpy Republicans. The first political affect will take place after those untold millions of illegal aliens are counted in the next U.S. Census greatly increasing the total population totals in the Democrat run sanctuary cities and areas, thus causing, by their presence alone, the redistricting of a yet undetermined number of congressional districts into those Democrat run cities and areas where leftist Democrat candidates will be a sure thing to win the resulting congressional elections in those new districts, and thus give the Democrats what would be from there on out a permanent majority of congressional seats to control the House of Representatives. From their response so far, you have to wonder if the wimpy Republicans even have a clue?

A country cannot have welfare programs and open borders period. It is not sustainable. Poor illiterate and low skilled immigrants have been shown to be a drain on the US economy taking out much more than they contribute. If you want open borders, we must pass a law that no immigrant will be eligible for any Government assistance or program for 7 years and then only after they have become a legal citizen.

It means a lower standard of living and much higher crime rates for those of us who have built our life in America from the ground up. In the past we found it necessary to repel invasions from third world countries with every weapon we had at our disposal. Don't make us do it again.

Isn't the topic of that orgy in Davos that we have too many people in the world? It's a good thing we aren't doubling our population every 10 years or so. We have desecrated out lands for highways and homes. Time to stop importing people we have no idea what they want to come here for and let them straighten out their native lands.

Wait until liberal federal judges start demanding through their rulings that local communities across the USA must raise up their taxes to fund the building of a huge number of new public schools and hire all the bilingual teachers necessary to service the illegal alien, and U.S. citizen children because of birth in the USA, that have been created by the 160 million, or likely much more illegal aliens, from the third world, who fit within the minority group categories of leftist Democrat identity politics, and who have decided, along with the leftist Democrats, that they have a right to unlawfully enter and live the USA for “a better life”.

A 63-pound pup who was deemed 'too big' and 'too strong' has finally found his forever home after an 'unlucky streak' of 14 failed adoptions.  Ronald, a playful mixed breed, was transferred to the SPCA of Wake County, a non-profit animal rescue in Raleigh, North Carolina, from a nearby municipal shelter on December 7, 2022, Fox News reported.  Within a month, the one-year-old went home with three different families for trial adoptions and was requested by 11 others, but his boisterous energy and size seemed to be a turnoff for potential owners.  'He is basically your typical puppy. He is playful and clumsy and goofy and still learning his manners,'

One might be inclined to apply Hanlon’s razor—never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity—to the actions of law enforcement on January 6, 2021. One might even be inclined to replace “stupidity” with “incompetence” to explain why police behaved the way they did that afternoon. But a growing body of evidence suggests neither stupidity nor incompetence can justify what now appears to be the worst incident of police brutality against political protesters since the civil rights era. After two years of watching cherry-picked video clips produced by the Department of Justice and the news media to depict Trump supporters as the violent aggressors on January 6,

The dramatic police bodycam footage showing the violent attack on Paul Pelosi finally provides a glimpse of the incident which triggered a string of conspiracy theories. A court ordered the release of the video despite protests from the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, who said it could be manipulated to spread misinformation. Ironically, the delay in sharing the footage prompted a stream of speculation and some baseless claims about the attack. In the footage, we see the moment police officers Kolby Wilmes and Kyle Cagney approached the grandiose Pelosi residence at around 2:31am on Friday, October 28, after Paul Pelosi dialed 911.

Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to rule out tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve yet again as gas prices continue to increase. She also failed to explain when the Biden administration plans to refill the reserve. (Tweet/Video) In order to mitigate the political problem of high gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, President Joe Biden depleted the SPR to historically low and dangerous levels not seen since the 1970s. High prices were self-inflicted through Biden's war on oil and gas in order to satisfy the demands of inefficient, alternative energy activists.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) named Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday, despite House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) vow to block her from sitting on the panel over past antisemitic comments. The clash will trigger a floor vote in which McCarthy will need the support of the majority of the House to keep Omar off the committee. He unilaterally blocked two Democrats from sitting on the House Intelligence Committee since it's a select panel and is populated at the speaker's discretion. GOP leadership is expected to bring the vote up next week, though at least two Republicans are expected to vote "no." Republicans can only afford

The Biden administration is always telling us that the best thing we can do is buy an electric vehicle. In fact, various members of the administration treat it almost flippantly — it’s a no-brainer that you should buy an expensive electric car or two. Doing so will rescue the planet from certain environmental collapse and will save you loads of money, even though the average cost of an electric vehicle was $66,000 as of August of last year. Plenty of people are falling for it, and it’s easy to see why. The siren song of the tax credit is hard to ignore, and the idea of not having to contend

Per the Consumer Price Index, egg prices have spiked 66% since last year. People around the globe have found themselves paying more for eggs at stores due to over 41 million egg-laying hens dying from the avian flu, but also as rampant inflation under the Biden regime causing prices to erratically jump among suppliers and subsequently among common consumer products. Egg prices have gone from $1.71 per dozen 18 months ago to an average over $7 per dozen today.

McDaniel fended off two challengers — California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch denier of the 2020 presidential election results. She received 111 votes, while Dhillon received 51 and Lindell received four. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.

The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and confirmed WEF goon Chrystia Freeland has determined that the American middle class “needs a pay cut.” Following an anecdote of an unnamed person who gave her the idea, she explicitly confirms her belief that the prescription for a middle-class wealth downgrade is the correct policy position but mentions the “very difficult” political and social sell to the middle class. As we slide further down the slope into multinational technocracy, the rhetoric will gradually shift in this direction.

Watching a Project Veritas undercover sting operation invariably leaves me with mixed feelings.

On the other hand, I’m shocked by the disclosure that the Empire is staffed by such moral and intellectual lightweights. Though incredible, it appears that the subject of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Jordon Walker, really is a Pfizer Director of Research & Development Strategic Operations. Here he is giddily talking about deliberately mutating SARS-CoV-2 by means of “directed evolution” in order to keep Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine gravy train going.

The Biden administration is facing some scrutiny over a proposal to change the way it racially/ethnically classifies federal employees. At the moment, anyone of Middle Eastern or North African descent only has the option of identifying/being classified as “white.” Were the administration’s proposal to be approved, these individuals would instead have the option of identifying as Middle Eastern or North African. The proposal would accomplish this by rewriting the Office of Management and Budget 1997 Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15).
