Something to brag about

This first portion of the post may seem like a weasely disclaimer, something to get me out of hot water if a Kier Starmer or Gavin Newscum were ever to take over the country. Nah, it’s not that. If one of the were to, I’d most assuredly have to post from a prison library after all the raw non-woke truth that’s appeared on Peak Stupidity over the years. However, the following is true too.

I’ve been good friends with quite a few immigrants. This includes long-ago Vietnamese refugees, some Chinese folks of the Chinese persuasion, and, way back, 2 guys I studied with who were from 2 other different continents - no, NOT Africa, not Antarctica, and not even Greenland…

Our worries here about Immigration Stupidity and our general elation about the President’s recent work on Job #1 have to do with MASS immigration. It’s not the individuals I don’t like, it’s the mass groups of individuals that have been brought inadvertently and advertently to destroy the nature of American society. (I do detest a number of individuals too, but that’s another matter.)

I had these thoughts as I was remembering something Peter Brimelow had written on the now-defunct VDare website. The greatness of VDare was that it covered every aspect of the mass immigration disaster. There were plenty of writers who wrote about the politics, but there was Brenda Walker (I hope she is OK - she quit writing long before fat-ass Leticia lawfared the site to death) who wrote about the damage to California and nature in general. There was Alan Wall who’d lived in Mexico a decade and wrote with an understanding of the Mexican viewpoint - this included heavy Mexican involvement in American politics. There was Joe Guzzardi (gone even longer than Mrs. Walker) who wrote of social aspects, IIRC. There was a monthly report (forgot this guy’s name) on the job growth for immigrants vs. native Americans. It was very one-sided.

Rather than the VDare writers, let me mention the many ills other than “just” the replacement of the White population, of mass immigration that were covered on the site: Availability and affordability of housing and land, a better job market, destruction of the environment, extreme stress on the healthcare system, huge burdens on public schools, diseases brought into the country that had been eradicated half a century ago, and more. It’s hard to look things up there now.

I bring this up to ask, is it not the case that, if we reverse the immigration invasion, we will reverse all of these many ills brought on by it? I don’t see why not.



Is the correlation in the table just coincidental? No, the law of Supply & Demand works. There’ve been about 2.5 million formerly illegally-residing people deported (about 1/4 of them) or that have self-deported (3/4) over the last year. In the meantime, still people entered legally though. DuckDuckGo’s Artificial Stupidity say the NET OUT-migration has been from 10,000 to 295,000. Well, that’s a hell of a range - do you see why I dub this software so? Even 300,000 is maybe 0.6% of the population. Can this really matter? It does when compared to a normal IN-migration of 1%. The trend is your friend. There are investor types and businessmen who are not as stupid (JMO) as my local university bubble housing developers*. I’d like to see the housing prices go down and availability go up mostly for the young people - more on this**. (It’s pretty much a wash for me.)

Besides the (screen-shotted) tweet above, I also read a ZeroHedge article Are Deportations Making Affordability A Winning Issue For The GOP?

America no longer has the frontier, but that land has been plentiful still and a guy can buy his own “spread” is a valuable thing. Would it not be beneficial for family formation and growth that a man can still buy 5, 10, 50 acres somewhere and make something out of it. That’s not a thing for all of us, but that it’s a possibility is important.

The job market in building and “the trades”, often crowded out by illegal aliens should improve too. (When it comes to white-collar work, it’s the legal immigration that’s the problem.) Now wait a minute, wouldn’t fewer illegal roofers and builders mean higher roof and house prices? Labor is not as big a part of it - same with Agriculture and Hospitality, as people make it out to be.** I think we’ll come out much better off… there was a time in the last century…

How about the disastrous financial state of American Emergency Rooms and hospitals as illegal aliens use them for “free” healthcare? (Free for them, yes, with the costs spread to Americans) I’m pretty sure I’ve told the story before in which I told the bill collector directly that “I can pay our share, but I can’t pay for the 5 illegal aliens that were in there with us.” Imagine ERs without all the scamming illegals. Maybe fewer hospitals would close down.

How about the wilderness? We are so blessed to have the beautiful land we have, but had it not been for a number of caring White guys 150-100 years ago, we likely couldn’t experience most of it. The National Parks might still exist after America is filled with the Globalists’ wet dream of ONE BILLION people, maybe not, but I’m not sure I’d care to visit one anyway. The idea is to have a place where one can find solitude with nature. It’s hard enough now to do that, but imagine 3 times as many people, almost all who don’t respect nature the way you do. You wanted to hike, but you ended up being a trash collector.**

Could we eradicate bedbugs and Tuberculosis … AGAIN? I read the VDare articles explaining how these formerly eradicated ills have come back with the illegal entries across the southern border.. People under 20 may thing these ills have always been with us, but older Americans know that America eradicated them in the past.

I’ve not nearly covered all the ills of mass immigration, hence the BENEFITS of a reversal of it. I tell you who should. The ZeroHedge writer suggested the GOP ought to, but the UniParty has been dormant when it comes to Job #1. They get no credit for anything. President Trump and his people - I give Steven Miller a whole lot of credit - have made this reversal in policy, and Trump is the one who ought to be bragging about the good developments that result. We can be pretty sure that bragging isn’t something that Donald Trump shies away from.

"In one year, I have provided more young people a place to live than that Levittown guy!"

"The Emergency Rooms will be empty. If you want your White doctor, you can keep your White doctor."

"You will have so much wilderness, more wilderness than this country has ever seen!" Actually, as a NYC real estate and casino tycoon, I’m not sure Trump really appreciates the wilderness. Yet, he can brag anyway. I won’t mind.

"There will be fewer bedbugs than when they were called Buffalo Hide bugs!"

Come on, Miller, Homan, and the ICE men: Let’s give him something to brag about!

OK, but sure, the numbers are small as of yet. Let this be an incentive to the bragging Orange Man. Want to have something to brag about, I mean without even bullshitting? Get MOAR done - a much higher rate of deportations (forced- and self-), total elimination of the H1B/etc. visa program, improved exit tracking**, cut down student visas (screw the greedy U’s!), and MOAR. Then, we’ll ALL see some major changes for the good you, President Trump, would deservedly be able to honestly brag about!


PS: I’d meant to mention that Commenter SafeNow brought up this same thought with respect to healthcare, that some political strategist like Carl Rove, but NOT Carl Rove, ought to get Trump to emphasize benefits that could come in that realm (no maybe way too late for California, SafeNow’s home.) Under the recent post about Trump’s success on Job #1, he wrote:
Stress access to competent, timely health care. There exist 40 million people who don’t belong here, and they are absorbing not only ER visits. It is an ongoing, frustrating, stressful, humiliating, health-compromising, losing battle to get timely office visits. And, fully one quarter of visits are now handled by - - new-word warning - - “providers” - - that is, PAs and NPs. It didn’t used to be like this, back in the day.
Could it get better? At least note how much worse it’s been getting with illegal aliens swamping the system. Do young people never get sick or in car/scooter wrecks to they don’t care? They may want to care, just sayin’.


* Someone’s gonna lose his ass on that. The last time I told a builder that, after the fact, he insisted 2 times during our argument that “That’s just your opinion, man”, but then admitted, “Yeah, I lost my ass on this.”. ;-}

** That’s another post. Tell you what, I’ve go so many in mind that I’ll just list them respectively: “I paid for all my college by washing dishes in the summer..” “Yeah, OK, Boomer” - a post in sympathy with the economic/family difficulties of America young people - - Trump’s fee increases on foreign visitors to National Parks/Monuments/etc. is a good thing, if just for symbolic reasons alone. - - Back to that post on the cost of roofing with that particularly egregious example with the mansion - - We’ve written a bit on it, but we’ll have more on doing deportations with great publicity vs. quite under-the-radar work - - I hate the Orwellian photo-AI entry deal, but I think they are using this for exit of the country too, so the fix might be in.

PS: “ Do you see the problem here?” Yeah, but they live 12 to a “home”… No, I still see the problem.

PS

4 million illegals keep the US homebuilding market afloat by building 400k units. Do you see the problem here?

PS: Yikes! Yes, advertently, thanks, Adam. (Though spell-check on my end still doesn’t like it.

I watch the whole Tucker Carlson interview of Mr. Brimelow a few days ago, after someone on TUR embedded it. Thanks for the reminder to post this.
