According to the Center for Immigration Studies, “The Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS) shows that the total foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) was 49.5 million in October 2023—a 4.5 million increase [2.5 million of which are illegal] since President Biden took office and a new record high. At 15 percent, the foreign-born share of the U.S. population is also the highest ever recorded in American history.”
Biden has, obviously, refused to ensure that immigration laws are faithfully executed. For that alone, he should be impeached.
Whites becoming a minority, in abstracto, might not be a terrible thing, and does not imply, for example, that blacks are by nature worse citizens than whites, or that all non-whites are black.
Still—the Crime Prevention Research Center notes that “in 2022, the murder rate among blacks [was] 653 percent higher than the murder rate for whites. The murder rate for Hispanics [was] 65 percent higher than for whites. Nor are those numbers that much of an outlier. From 1990 through 2022, the black murder rate [averaged] 569 percent higher than whites, and the number for Hispanics was 57 percent higher.”
Two factors contributed to those numbers: the Democrat Party’s financing (through the Great Society program Aid to Families with Dependent Children) of unwed motherhood, which produced, and still produces, an unending stream of blacks without fathers; and the current, and mostly successful, attempts of the Democrat Party to keep blacks locked up in failing public schools. Let’s face it: as long as Democrats and the teachers unions control education, blacks haven’t got a chance.
And what chance will Joe Biden’s millions of illegal immigrants have in this country? Many of them, and perhaps most of them, are young, single—and surely uneducated—men. The immigration of millions of young, single, uneducated men into Sweden has been a disaster. It could happen here—and even if not to the country as a whole, certainly to the communities where thousands of single, uneducated men congregate. How do we know these immigrants aren’t like our home-grown fatherless blacks?
How do we cajole them into becoming “Americans?”
Probably not by separating them into the innumerable “affinity spaces” listed by Milton Academy.
In case you haven’t noticed, the country is coming apart. Republicans and Democrats are as far apart today as anyone can remember. You’d think people who pay $74,000 tuition bills would understand that.
You’d be wrong.
