The Lamentations of the Mayors

  Immigration Stupidity



This was supposed to be Curmudgeonry week here at Peak Stupidity, but, damnit, right when you're ready to complain, some other damn thing comes up. ;-} Here instead is some semi-heartening news on the illegal front of the immigration invasion.

VDare's Washington Watcher II has kept us up on the goings on in Texas, the biggest of the 4 border States*, immigration-wise, along with some of the other writers. Mr. "II" himself**, if I remember correctly, has not been too keen on Texas Governor Abbott's plan to bring the illegal problem to the Potomac Regime capital itself. 6,500 illegal aliens have been bussed to Washington FS, and New York City, to "spread the family values LUV".

The worry that I also agreed with, is that these illegal aliens will be trafficked to the same places around the country as the ones given the airplane instead of bus rides, by Zhou Bai Dien, human trafficker Numero Uno. Washington Watcher II, at least, is more optimistic now from how it's been working out: Despite Skepticism, Busing Illegals To Leftist “Sanctuary Cities” Is Working. Could It Force Biden To Do Something About Border Collapse?
When Texas first threatened to bus illegal aliens to blue cities, Democrats mocked the idea. They even thanked Texas for sending more of the foreigners they love. “These are all migrants who have been processed by CBP and are free to travel, so it’s nice the state of Texas is helping them get to their final destination as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings,” then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki said of the “migrant” buses in April [Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jen Psaki, WhiteHouse.gov, April 13, 2022].
But, you know, they don't have to go home, but they can't ... stay... here ...
They’re singing a different tune now! Bowser and Adams sound surprisingly like their Republican counterparts in border states. Bowser has complained about the illegals and demanded federal resources to deal with them. In July, she attacked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and said illegals were being “tricked” onto the buses. She insisted that local taxpayers would “not pick up the tab” [D.C. Mayor Bowser Decries Migrants Bused to Capital, by Trent Baker, Breitbart, July 17, 2022]. That seems awfully unwelcoming for a Sanctuary City. Bowser has begged for the National Guard to help, but the Pentagon rejected her plea.
I don't know whether a Hahaaaa, hahhhaaa... ooops my heart stopped .. OK, hahhahahaaaa is more appropriate or a Mwuhaaaa. I'm not Governor Abbott, so I can only do the former.

Why aren't these "asylum-seeking" "refugees" getting sent to the same places they've been after landing at Westchester Country or Stewart-Newburgh?

This number 6,500, is a pittance, BTW. That's a day or a couple of days worth, depending on which numbers you use. I will assume that Abbott and his people are busing some of (a few) of the illegals who would have been let to stay due to Bai Dien and the judges anyway.

Of course, the VDare people, I, and this blog's readers would like it much better if these invaders were sent in the opposite direction. In the meantime, I am enjoying the Lamentations of the Mayors.


PS: There's a follow-up to this story by VDare's prolific A.W. Morgan - - - - NYC To Put 1,000 Illegals Into Schools…Despite Complaining About Illegals. Good luck with all that ...


* For some reason you don't hear much about the border invasion in New Mexico. Is it that it's too rough terrain, and the flow is to the west and east, or do they just blend in, and nobody cares?

** I assume "Watcher" is his middle name. No?

PS: Time flies, Adam! Yes, that was that summer of '20, luckily not much of a thing in my location. Kyle Rittenhouse is one guy who I would call a real hero, as I know I posted back then.

PS: Good afternoon, everyone...

Today marks 2 years since Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself from a pedophile, a wife beater, & a grandma beater who all tried to murder him.

"any takeover of NYC does not have to be planned"

It depends what we mean by 'planned.' Was the takeover of Vancouver planned?

It is said that Vancouver metro area will tip majority Asian in this decade, and as we speak the city proper is already there, plus it is said a majority of land is in Chinese hands.

You're right that a concentration of resources and efforts, and chain migration, amounts to an open conspiracy against the native public and needs no central committee or "politburo"-like direction to have success.

There were anti-Chinese riots in Vancouver in the past and similar efforts at exclusion as going on in the USA, as the White men of the day foresaw exactly what turned out to happen a century later.

Your advice on a summary and retrospective on the Daniel Uhlfelder phenomenon is a good one, Mr. Moderator, and I've put something together along those lines and published it today:

"The Covid-activist Daniel Uhlfelder loses to the BLM-Soros candidate Aramis Ayala: an appraisal of the Florida attorney general election race of 2022"

PS: Also, Mr. Hail, I see on your site that you've had a long thread going about Florida primary elections - both Governor and AG. It's been Dieter and you, and a guy named Bo (sorry, couldn't help it!), and I've enjoyed that discussion. I think you should pop that all into a new post, but I guess it's hard to x-fer the comments.

PS: Yes, great comments. Thank you all. I have not too much to add.

Mr. Hail, any takeover of NYC does not have to be planned really. The Chinese people that don't assimilate - which is a lot of them, because they don't have to - make those Chinatowns look like China. Except for the (Chinese) modern high apartment buildings, and a few more American label vehicles, you would not know the difference.

It started with the Cubans in Miami and Mexicans in only certain parts of Los Angeles 40 to 50 years back (the longer for LA), this whole thing about pieces of American being ceded over to foreigners. It's gotten so much more widespread since then. I didn't mind that much by-passing Miami on the way to the Keys, or never going to those parts of LA*. Now what do you do?

Alarmist, you can't just go using those green politicians for fuel. You need to let them sit outside for 6 months...


* I don't mean it's SO terrible, but it's just not America. If I wanted to go to a foreign land, I just do that, as per our recent trip.

PS: Greetings, Everyone,

Bill, the google bot tells me that New Mexico shares a 179.5-mile long boundary with the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora. And yes, much of it is mountainous.

Messrs Hail, Alarmist, Kief et al., thanks for the good/great comments under the last few posts! I've enjoyed reading for the last few days but been a little too busy to comment.

I hope you all have a great evening!

PS New Mexico has a fairly short border with Mexico, something like 300 miles. Much of what lies south of NM is Texas rather than Mexico. Your surmise about terrain is correct, as much of the border NM does have with Mexico is the Rocky Mountains.

PS

It’s simply a question of life-boat ethics, but your average bleeding heart or Chamber of Commerce member cannot picture the US being a life-boat in a global sea of troubles. So they go ahead and overload the boat. With people who will have no quals about throwing them out of the boat when things get tough.

i read something in ZH about some green saying people can use wash-cloths instead of showering to save energy, and I thought, “Yes, and people can use politicians for fuel,” because they aren’t very useful for much else.

There are some parallels with the way the Chinese immigration question was treated in U.S. politics in the 1860s-1880s period with how Latin American "illegal immigration" is thought of and dealt with with today.

In the late 1800s, the White men of the West virtually across the ideological-political-social spectrum were against Chinese immigration and for restriction.

In the Pacific states, you could resolve to talk to dozens of people --- from ideological socialists of the day, laborers, tradesmen, up through the middle classes, small business people, socialites, christian ministers, to even big business capitalists in most cases, to the wealthy and intellectual elite --- and after dozens of such chats with reputable men, you might still have failed to find even one strong or committed opponent of proposed "Chinese exclusion" laws. The differences of opinion were on moderate or severe limits; whether to deport all of those already here or not. It was a totally different ideological "playing field."

The "exclusionists" included every western Senator and Congressman of both parties for all of that period and longer. This included some even who were champions of Black rights and others interested in women's suffrage and such things. They all slammed the Chinese as a menace to the life and liberty of the White race in western North America, to the dignity of labor and the working man, to constitutional government, and more. If you ever read through some of these speeches and tracts, every leading man of the time is worthy of being someone "cancelled" in our time for racism, including the names of great prestige like Leland Stanford. (Stanford still has its name. What would mighty Stanford University be, if renamed Harriet Tubman College of California?)

Here is where the parallel to today comes in: in the face of such strong opposition from the Pacific and Mountain-West states (where Chinese cheap-labor and "coolies" were active), important elites in eastern states took little interest, and the matter lingered year after year. Why?

The answer is: There were no Chinese in the eastern states.

The handful of Chinese who did make appearances here and there in the U.S. East, were as a novelty. In parts of the West, uncomfortably large shares of the working-age male population were Chinese. People felt that if they ever organized and settled, in time they could (and WOULD, for they knew Chinese well enough by then) simply seize these places, as if by force. At the time the courts were largely against the principle of U.S. citizenship for Chinese, but in time this wall of defense might not hold. And still the big players in the east tut-tutted and took little real interest.

By the time of the first big, comprehensive, national entry ban on Chinese laborers passed in 1882, there were still essentially no Chinese at all in mighty New York City. When trawling through the records to search for the earliest Chinese who arrived and stayed put in that city, it is hard to find any before 1880. They only had a community capable of putting together a decent-sized holiday parade by I think 1888, these few new arrivals being transplants once White men had made it known we were in charge of California, but New York looked a potentially softer target. They never achieved much demographic strength thereafter, as the spigot had been turned off.

(A century and some later, the Chinese have a huge presence in NYC, with some Sailer-blog-commenter-like chatter over the years suggesting it may be a strategic goal of the Chinese to take the city, in the way the Hebrews did a century ago, or as they've sort of done with Vancouver in recent times; by concentration of efforts and strategically applied demographic weight, and using their usual methods of networking and nepotism. The theory is not preposterous, but a lot of people push back on it as unlikely to pan out for many reasons.)

The Chinese in the 19th century hold up as an analogy somewhat well with illegal mestizoes and indios from Central America today, and the lack of interest of those who perceive themselves far away from the problem also holds up. What doesn't hold up is that in the 19th century, White men were organized for our interests and the system was basically for us and not radically against us.

PS Read that the influx will be used to make DC into many separate states and the replacements are needed to keep the Ponzi going a little longer until WWIII can go live.
Don't worry the imports have no love for the nomenklatura apparatchiks and will get mean when the EBT cards no longer work but the banks get a cut of every transaction so that is unlikely to happen.
