America Is Full. Time To Close The Door.
When you’re talking about any political issue — whether it’s about immigration or foreign policy or anything else — one of the hardest things to do is step back and recognize how the debate has been framed. This is the part of the conversation that takes place before you get involved. The Overton Window is set. Mainstream national news sources, politicians and various activist groups all work together to set the acceptable boundaries of dialogue. And they’re very good at it. You often don’t even realize what they’re doing. Or at least, you often don’t realize what they’re doing until some kind of catastrophic event takes place — the kind of event that makes their manipulation too obvious to ignore.
At this point, it’s safe to say that the very sudden descent of Los Angeles into anarchy — or at least further anarchy — is one of those kinds of events. In particular, it’s the kind of domestic disaster that suggests it’s time to re-assess how the debate over foreign migration has been framed over the past few decades. After all, neither political party warned us that U.S. immigration policy would turn major American cities into warzones in the span of just a couple of generations. That wasn’t on the menu of possible outcomes that we were ever presented with.
Instead, the people in charge were careful to silence any dissenters, like Pat Buchanan. They were cast out as crazies, not to be trusted. And now, after all these years, we’re finally seeing undeniable proof that, actually, people like Pat Buchanan were right about immigration policy all along. Our leaders were either inept, or they were deliberately trying to destroy the United States. In either case, their framing is no longer relevant. Therefore, it’s time for a new way of looking at foreign migration.
The old way of looking at it, in almost every mainstream context, has been to defend “legal migration” while acknowledging that “illegal migration” is undesirable. In practice, it’s always been a debate between pro-amnesty, pro-open borders Democrats on the one hand (who prefer to award legal status to foreign nationals, thus erasing their status as “illegal” aliens), and pro-enforcement conservatives (who want to deport as many criminal aliens as possible while maintaining legal migration). Those have been your two options. At various points, both Democrats and Republicans have had a chance to enact their proposed policies along these lines. Republicans have historically failed to enact their preferred policies, while Democrats have succeeded enacting theirs, which is why Mexican flags are currently flying over Los Angeles.
So the question naturally arises: What would a more successful immigration policy look like? What’s the “third option” that we haven’t pursued?
Well, it’s actually pretty simple.
Instead of simply targeting illegal aliens, the president should use his authority to immediately terminate all migration from the third-world. We should start being extremely selective about the legal immigration we allow, which means not allowing an unchecked flood of third world migration into this country. The United States has, for far too long, functioned as essentially a giant soup kitchen or homeless shelter for the entire world. It’s not sustainable. We are out of space. We are out of money. We are out of resources. And as we watch what’s happening in Los Angeles, we are also out of patience.

For one thing, the so-called “legal” immigration system, as it currently exists, is nothing more than a giant pipeline for fraud and scams. To give just one example — if you had to guess, how many foreign nationals abuse our student visa system to enter as “legal” migrants, only to overstay their visas? What’s the percentage?
It turns out that, in fiscal year 2023, the percentage was around 3.5%. That might not seem like a large figure. But then you have to ask: Are people from certain countries overstaying their visas at much higher rates than everyone else? That’s the interesting question. And no one seems to want to talk about it.
That’s because the answer to that question tells you everything you need to know. According to DHS data, the third world is responsible for astronomical rates of visa overstays. 51% of student visas that were granted to the African nation of “Chad,” for example, ultimately resulted in criminal overstays. So did 24% of student visas awarded to citizens of Haiti, 21% of student visas awarded to citizens from Venezuela, and 36% of student visas awarded to citizens of Somalia. Keep in mind, again, that the overall rate is 3.5%.
In any other context, no one would tolerate numbers like this. Imagine you ran a small business, and 36% of the time you relied on a contractor for some important service, they’d send a deadbeat to your property who refused to leave. You’d immediately stop dealing with that contractor, obviously. You’d find some other company to do business with. We’re not talking about one or two bad outcomes here. We’re talking about systemic fraud.
And by the way, it’s not like student visas are the exception here. Every kind of visa is abused by the third world, every single year. In Fiscal Year 2022, 62% of migrants from Burma on a “business or pleasure” visa managed to stay in this country for too long. So did 44% of Venezuelans, 18% of Somalians, 28% of Syrians and 20% of Kenyans. Meanwhile, for comparison, the visa overstay rate on “business or pleasure” visas from developed countries the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, Taiwan, Greece, France, and Germany were all less than 1%. You get ten guesses to figure out what could possibly explain that disparity. (Although, of course, as countries like the UK and Germany transform into the third world, we can expect that the disparity will decrease year after year.)
In any case, anyone with common sense who looks at these numbers would understand immediately that migration from third-world countries, whether you call it “legal” or not, needs to be discontinued. The most dysfunctional countries on the planet, which obviously offer nothing to the United States because they aren’t even able to care for themselves, are the ones that are clearly taking advantage of us. They don’t respect the rule of law, our customs or even our language. There are very good reasons why we don’t want third world dysfunction in this country. And it doesn’t matter whether or not they “wait in line” or take a citizenship test. That’s not the important factor. Their level of interest in our country doesn’t matter. What matters is whether these people are, on balance, coming here to contribute to our country or take from it. And the answer is usually the latter. We are a country. Not a giant bag of goodies that they give to children at a birthday party. We are not an enormous prize counter at an arcade, where all the prizes are free. We cannot afford to provide and provide and provide for everyone else, all across the world. We cannot do this anymore. Our cities are increasingly descending into chaos that mirrors the third world, because we have imported that chaos into our country. We have to stop.
Just to underscore the importance of reframing the migration debate, take a look at what’s happened to Canada in just the past half-decade:

This chart shows “net international migration” in the country from the 1950s to the present. For most of Canada’s history, they had migration under control, relatively speaking. Then, in just a matter of four years, all of a sudden, they’re completely overwhelmed. And guess what? This surge wasn’t the result of “illegal immigration.” Hordes of immigrants didn’t set out on pontoon boats and storm the beaches of Newfoundland. Instead, they just applied for asylum, the “legal way.”
Never mind the fact that there’s no legitimate reason for most of these people to seek asylum. They simply requested asylum in unprecedented numbers, and Canada’s government went along with it. The door has been wide open. Canada doesn’t even run criminal background checks on applicants for most visas. While, in fact, if these immigrants need asylum at all, often they need asylum from law enforcement in their own countries. This is a point that the foreign affairs minister of India made publicly a few months ago. Even he is looking at Canada and wondering what the hell they’re doing. He warned that they’re importing a lot of criminals from India, with no vetting whatsoever. Watch:

On one hand, you’d think the Indian foreign affairs minister would be grateful that Canada is taking gang members and criminals off their hands. I wish we could send our criminals to Canada. That would be convenient, and kind of funny. But apparently there’s some kind of ongoing diplomatic feud between India and Canada involving assassinations and Sikh separatists, which I won’t pretend to know anything about, or care about. After all, part of the appeal of controlling your borders is that you don’t have to worry about foreign feuds that don’t concern you. But when you import millions of people from foreign lands, their conflicts become your conflicts. And Canada is now dealing with that reality, even as the quality of life in Canada declines year after year. The point of this example in Canada is that you can’t solve the immigration problem just by making all of the immigration “legal.” As the foreign affairs minister in India pointed out, you can legally accept the wrong people into your country.
We like to talk about immigration like it’s all the same, but it isn’t. There is a distinct difference between immigration from, say, Somalia, and immigration from Italy or Ireland. One of the big differences is that Italian and Irish immigrants have contributed to this country and helped to build it in ways that Somali immigrants simply never have. That’s a historical reality that can’t be denied. In the present, unchecked Somali immigration has brought increased crime rates, violence, and fraud to every community that’s had to cope with it. This again cannot be denied. It’s a simple fact. The question is whether we’re ever going to do anything about it, or continue acting like Somalis have some kind of cosmic entitlement, written in the stars, to come to our country whenever and however they please.

Now things have gotten so bad that even our elected leaders in this country are not only not loyal to the United States, but in some cases, aren’t even in this country legally. A state lawmaker in Minnesota named Kaohly Vang Her just admitted that she’s living in this country illegally, and she’s proud of it. Watch:

There is no excuse for why this person isn’t already on a plane back to Vietnam or Guantanamo Bay. If we’re going to measure how serious the Trump administration is about enforcing immigration law, this woman’s status is a pretty good bellwether. Here you have a confession from some dopey politician who’s drawing a salary from taxpayers, and creating nothing of value in return. So let’s start with her. And then, when she’s deported, let’s shut down all migration from Vietnam (where, incidentally, they overstay their visas at around twice the rate of the average country).
This is not rocket science. You can look at the quality of the migrants coming from certain countries. You can look at the quality of those countries. And then you can do the logical, sane, fair thing.
Democrats will pretend to be outraged by rhetoric like this. But of course they use it against white people all the time. Even when it makes no sense, they’re happy to claim, out loud, that white people are the real “third world migrants.”
Here for example is a Minnesota lawmaker named “Leigh Finke.” Finke is a man claiming to be a woman. (And yes in case you’re wondering, elected officials in Minnesota apparently had a deranged meeting about immigration enforcement yesterday, probably because they’re trying to inspire riots in their state as well.) In any event, here’s Leigh Finke:

Yeah, what have white people ever built? Besides, you know, space shuttles, cars, the steam engine, the printing press, the telescope, computers, the telephone, St. Peter’s Basilica and Notre Dame, infrastructure that’s saved millions of people globally — especially in Africa and Asia — the Magna Carta, the Constitution, and Western civilization itself. Other than all of that, what exactly have white people done? The Somalis invented a spongy bread called Muufo. We just can’t compare to that. We should just stop trying.
It’s not an accident that this same lawmaker also proposed a bill that would make it illegal to discriminate against sex offenders who target children. It’s also not an accident that every single argument from the Left that’s intended to justify these riots, in the end, simply demonstrates why we need to suspend third-world migration entirely.
To give one more example, watch LA mayor Karen Bass explain that the riots only occurred because the Trump administration dared to enforce federal immigration law. Apparently, that’s supposed to excuse the violence. You enforced the law?! How dare you! Then, for good measure, Bass explains that the riots are “mostly peaceful,” as explosions are visible on the screen right next to her. Watch:
This is becoming something of a staple of these LA riots. It’s happened at least three times now. They claim the riots are peaceful, even as everyone can see the truth, directly next to them. And that’s a pretty good sign that Democrats are struggling with their messaging, to say the least. They know that they can’t condemn the violence and take steps to stop it, because the rioters are all Democrat voters. So instead, we’re left with incoherence. Gavin Newsom is out there begging for Trump to arrest him, because otherwise, precisely no one is sympathetic to his position.
Admittedly, some Democrats are more incoherent than others. Here for example is the president of the National Education Association— the largest teacher’s union in the country. They represent public school teachers and faculty. So you’d expect — or hope — that the president of a union like this would be stable and well-spoken in public. But yesterday, the president opened her mouth and revealed that, alas, she’s neither of those things. Watch:
This is the president of the National Education Association— the largest teacher’s union

If there’s any upside to these riots, it’s helping to expose people like this. They just can’t help themselves. The insurrection that’s underway in Los Angeles has made it very clear, once again, that today’s Democrats are the single most incompetent political party that this country has ever seen.
But we’ve known that already, for quite some time. More importantly, the insurrection has also made it clear that the existing framework of the immigration debate simply isn’t working. The idea that we have some kind of obligation to allow anyone into this country who wants to come is absurd. No other nation on Earth — outside of the western world — operates this way or is expected to operate this way.
Non-western countries tend to be very choosy about who they allow in. As well they should be. That’s their right. It’s in the interest of their own self-preservation, which should be the top interest of their leaders. For example, India just recently revoked all visas issued to all Pakistani nationals in their country. There hasn’t been much global outcry over this, and there shouldn’t be. India has every right to revoke visas to whatever group they choose. And revoking visas for Pakistanis, given the state of affairs between those two nations, makes a lot of sense. Indian leaders have a responsibility to protect Indian citizens, not Pakistani citizens.
That’s the kind of thing we all intuitively understand, provided that it’s a country with a non-white majority.
But for western countries, especially the United States, we are expected to prioritize the well being of foreign nationals over the well being of our own people, our own families. That’s the only possible reason why we would allow unfettered migration from third world countries in the first place. We obviously aren’t doing that for our sake.
My own children don’t benefit from importing the third world into our country. But the children of third world migrants do benefit. Well, guess what? I care more about my kids than theirs. And my government should care more about my kids than theirs. I’ll say that again, just to be clear: My government should care more about me and my children than foreign nationals and their children. If that sentiment shocks or scandalizes you, that’s a good sign that you’re mind is hopelessly deluded by Left-wing open borders propaganda, to the point that you have become deranged. What I’m talking about, again, is basic self-preservation. Basic national preservation. Every other country outside of the west functions this way, instinctively and without a second thought. So should we.
But we haven’t, and it’s led to many terrible outcomes, including now open warfare in Los Angeles. And if we’re being honest, that warfare is being waged by both “legal” and “illegal” immigrants from the third world. That’s why, if we want to prevent this warfare from spreading far beyond Los Angeles, both groups need to be told the same message: We’re closed.
