Aliens Abroad Look Forward to a Biden Presidency — and Open Borders

The New York Times correctly envisions a Biden administration as having a far more forgiving border, unlike the illiberal sovereignty enforcement of the current president. In fact, the cartels are “telling migrants ‘border will be open’ when Biden takes over” according to Rep. Henry Cuellar.

The Times’ December 14 front page featured a sob-story style […]

Tucker Carlson Criticizes Joe Biden’s Ill-Considered Immigration Generosity

Sometimes it seems extreme to accuse the left of supporting crazy Open Borders. But then some major figure will put his foot right in it, as candidate Joe Biden did recently when he said he would import two million poor foreigners immediately if elected — because America is a sanctuary or something.

Old Joe wants […]

President Trump’s Proposal to Improve the Quality of Immigrants Meets Opposition from the Usual Quarters

President Trump has called for a fundament change in the government’s immigration system to require skills of entrants, rather than continue the current family-based system concocted by Sen Ted Kennedy in 1965.

It’s a popular proposal, according to a Rasmussen poll published May 20, titled, Voters Still See Skills-Based Legal Entry As Immigration Fix:

Voters […]

“Our Immigration System Is a Joke,” Says Tucker Carlson

So much of TV commentary concerns news-of-the-day trivia that it’s nice occasionally to have reflections on the Big Picture. Tucker Carlson did just that during his opening monologue on Thursday about the ways that immigration anarchy is changing America’s future — and not for the better.

In particular, extreme population growth fueled by foreigners (what’s […]

Tucker Carlson Observes that Red China Now Promotes Population Growth

Introduced in 1979, China’s one-child policy was seen abroad as an overreach of communist government controlling the people, even though that nation has basic resource problems that should have brought environmental limits more gently into the public conversation.

One memorable example of overpopulation was the government’s reallocation of Beijing-area water for the 2008 Summer Olympics […]

Latin America Is Melting Down, yet Democrats Say a Wall Is Unnecessary

Lists can be very revealing, and Tucker Carlson compiled a good one on Thursday’s show, indicating a troubling instability among several of America’s national neighbors to the south, specifically Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Venezuela.

Unfortunately, the explosive population growth of Latin America and elsewhere in the Third World is rarely mentioned as a […]

Tucker Carlson Asks: Why Don’t Liberals Care about Immigration-Fueled Overpopulation and the Environment Any More?

It once was the case that at least some liberals supported immigration limits because of the harmful effects of excess population on the environment as a primary reason. But many have forgotten because politics have become more important than preserving the nation’s natural resources that support life.

For example, California’s severe five-year drought from 2011 […]

“All Africa Is Here” — Many in Illegal Migrant Flow Now Enter via Spain

One of the oddities of European geography is that a tiny bit of Spain exists on the African continent in the small communities of Melilla and Ceuta, as shown in the map below.

Naturally, these spots are a target for invasive Africans hoping to arrive in the freebie paradise on the mainland. Spain has […]

Illegal Aliens Camp on Border Bridges as They Wait for Asylum in America

Tuesday’s New York Times front page included a photo of an illegal alien kid plunked down on a Mexico/US border bridge while waiting for the familia to push an asylum claim.

The foreigners have turned the walkway into a filthy homeless camp, although the Times tried to describe the chaos more delicately:

Sleeping on […]

Tucker Carlson Asks the Big Immigration Question — How Many?

Tucker Carlson celebrated May Day by welcoming an open-borders California commie to his show to discuss the caravan invasion of moochers now perched on the border to claim legal asylum in the United States — although many have admitted to reporters that they are escaping gang crime or want a “better life” which are not […]

Bay Area Housing Report Ignores Immigration Flood

When it comes to Fake News, California media certainly leads a crowded field. But the San Jose Mercury-News’ front page story on Sunday truly went a step beyond. In an article and poll about Bay Area housing shortages, the word “immigration” did not appear.

Sunday’s front-page graphic listed possible causes of the housing crisis as […]

California Residents Flee the Once-Golden State

It’s not news that California residents are escaping the worsened crime, traffic, housing prices and general crowdiness, but a landlord bringing his tenants along to a new state gets attention.

The unusual circumstance made the front page of the San Jose Mercury News on Friday:

A few decades back, San Jose was a rather […]
