In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump
Even during his 1st term President Trump DID accomplish quite a few things to lower the immigration rates. This was done almost all under the radar, while the Legacy Media was attacking and distracting him, the UniParty was (then too) of no help, and he didn't even pick employees that were of much help.
Peak Stupidity had a series of posts from late in that term, mid-October '20, of which the 2nd - President Donald Trump: the Bad, **the Good**, and the Ugly included a lot of welcome but short-lived good news on the existential issue. Our info for that post came from a VDare (still in business then) article by one "Washington Watcher II, NYT Delivers Unintentional Endorsement Of Trump's Immigration Triumph. The title indicates that what the New York Times was livid about was some pretty good news!
That was then. Dark Brandon and his minions not only reversed it all but, as we all know, went throttle wide open arranging a bigger invasion than had ever been seen, to the tune of 10-12 million MORE invaders. Worse yet, from the way it was accomplished, it was a 100x larger Mariel Boatlift - see We are all Miamians now.
Trump-47's work against the Population Replacement Programme started off gangbusters, starting on January 20th last year. We were excited hereabouts, there was then that big H1B visa fight, deportations started, and now it's been nearly 2 years.
To sum the work up in a nice pictorial essay, with the graphs below being about half the pictures, the great pro-White activist Jared Taylor had published What Trump Hath Wrought in The Unz Review.*
I'm taking all of Mr. Taylor's graphs - he didn't make them - and posting them right here. Our readers may want to click to his essay for some small explanations. He's a good writer, and this is all pretty quick reading.
Otherwise, I'll paste in a few comments below each here. It's possible I'll add a few points later, but I'll note this so comments by readers don't stop making sense.
Note, the only other time this went down at all, was during Trump-45, from '19-'20 by a measly 700,000. It’s steeper now. This is not the be-all-to-end-all, as kids are American-born from these people, and then foreign-born people die too.
These are apprehensions. It’s at ~12,000/mo, best I can read this. That still would be nearly 150,000 yearly, a nothingburger were it still the year 2000 or so, but, that aside, almost all these people are being sent back. During Brandon’s time, as we all here have heard about, they were being sent into the interior of America in those high numbers, 1/4 million a month at times!
Great numbers on the LEEGULL side! What’s confusing to me is that student visas are NOT immigrant visas, and I’m pretty sure H1B’s aren’t either by the law, though de facto, they’ve been. The light purple, the biggest chunk at this point, is mostly family reunification visas, per Mr. Taylor, but there are a myriad others within those numbers. They’re WAY down, as are all of them.
A million a month rate, sending most illegal aliens home (with the rest having self-deported) by the end of the term won’t happen. 10,000 daily, or 300,000 monthly
ICE doesn't need 100 747’s a day, per one UR commenter – they have narrow-body Airbuses flying for Global Crossing and this Eastern Air Express that take the illegals out of the country from detentions centers in Miami and Louisiana. The old Air Wisconsin has some airplanes flying smaller groups to the detention centers in Alexandria and that airport in the Everglades. ICE has been working on building more places to temporarily hold people for transport. Peak Stupidity has written about this big operation that was, until a couple of days ago, being built-up, in many posts with the Immigration Stupidity topic key.
These next 2 together are not on the same time scale. These are important too.
The President's State Department has a lot of discretion on visa-approvals. Here, the Naturalization approval rate and the "asylum" approvals are at the discretion of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). They work for Trump. There's more to the asylum approvals though, as there have been immigration judges by the thousands that have been working per Ann Coulter's "It's not over until the immigrant wins" rule for decades ... until Trump's people mass-replaced these traitors.
Yeah, now that the "Temporary" status has been ended, how many are being sent home. I don't know.
Tuesday's election results will been used as a big cease & desist order. I don't know how much of any of this will keep going, much less ramp up to the levels we need (on deportations in particular). A rebuttal to this is that "Hey, you wrote that all this is being done by administrative action. Trump can keep that up." I would like to think so. On a good day, on the right meds, sure, that sounds good.
I know what the ctrl-left is like though. Veto or not, the D-run Congress will find a way to pass laws that include the defunding and destruction of Trump's anti-PRP efforts. The now heavily leftist States** will fight all of this action, and I know which way the courts will rule, even before they've been packed.
In the comments here, as started up by E.H. Hail, there is a big discussion of "Who lost MAGA?" All fingers point to that one orange man, so the question is how. We know that too, generally, and I'll leave that discussion to continue there and for another day. At this point, the graphs above show what has been, and what could have been and more, had Trump not completely screwed the pooch. It's been a bad week.
* Thank you, Ron Unz, for your fairness. As I've been realizing slowly, and as has been nailed own for me recently, the man has no problem at all with the PRP. Still, he still publishes Mr. Taylor's work.!
** The turning of Texas is bad not only because it's a BIG State but, for this existential issue, that it's a border State. Instead of the Governor and Texas law enforcement fighting against the FedGov's opening the border wide, as during Dark Brandon, it'll be the other way around. Texas may invite strange violent foreigners from around the World, and what will the Trump Administration alone do about it?

“Trump’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.”
He really is President Macbeth.

Yes, I know this famous verse. I'll let the graphs above speak for him, but at this point, yeah. I'm hoping for Meatball Ron DeSantis to become a big player on the stage during the next 2 years.
"All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players, performers and portrayers, each another's audience upon the gilded cage." Well, it sounds better with Geddy Lee's bass, Alex Lifeson's guitar, and Neil Peart's drumming.
