In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump US Feral Government
An internet hat tip goes to Steve Sailer, who used to demonstrate how Legacy Media articles would miss the point, by “ctrl-f “immig…” as the complete function would show that the writers never touched the subject. Well, I’m glad that, among their “he said/she said” posts on fluff, the Gateway Pundit site helpfully presented a transcript of President Trump’s State of the Union speech from last night.*
I did the same and got only 4 hits, one in the comments, so 3 from Trump. That’s not to say he didn’t bring up the subject - we’ll show some reaction from on of Peak Stupidity’s very least favorite immigrants - with the ensuing publicity that Trump both instigates and appreciates. However, after reading the ZeroHedge summary, Trump Talks Economy, Immigration, Taxes, And AI In State Of The Union Address , I realized that their organized summary of the speech did not mention efforts to cut LEGAL immigration into America. Over the last 1/2 century, a little more actually, it’s been +/- 50% of the illegal levels.
It’s not like Trump would have had nothing to boast about - his cutting down of H1B entries via large fees, his lowering of refugee acceptances to nearly 0, his enacting what are basically bonds for entrants on non-immigrant visas to discourage overstays, etc.
No, the 3 instances of “immigration” in the transcript were in the context of:
1) A very general sentence about how “I turned everything around.” He’s not far off in most respects.
2) “…Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders”. This is OK, as the “and” seems to indicate that he means both legal (“unrestricted immigration”)and illegal. This wasn’t quite what I was looking for.
3) “… Americans who lost their treasured loved ones to the scourge of illegal immigration.” A lot of bad people have come in legally too. “What is this vetting of which you speak?”
Was the problem that there was not enough time to boast about his encouraging efforts to stop the various scams of the Legal immigration world, I mean, within that very tight hour and 49 minutes ? Well, he sure had time to get into every other detail of damn near everything, from shots-on-goal during the hockey game to snow shoveling to the DOW and S&P indices to the price of eggs to drug prices under his TrumpRx** health plan to mortgage rates, to 401(k) savings, to the latest alleged core inflation rate to a few heartwarming human interest stories for the ladies, who don’t do numbers. I get it. “It’s the economy, stupid.” I agree there and shouldn’t complain.
I get a little worried, is all, when I don’t see some things about slowing the PRP that Trump COULD brag about not get bragged about. This is why I find it less vexing to read about what Trump and his people are actually doing, rather than what Trump mouths off about. Hopefully this was an oversight by the advisors and not a reversal in the trends of the policies.
I noticed that what Trump DID DO was talk for a minute of all the benefits to Americans that come from reversing the PRP:
Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the U.S.A. And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates, rent, taxes and, perhaps most importantly, crime.Bravo! We had discussed this in a recent post Something to brag about.
When it did come to illegal immigration specifically though, NICE JOB! That was a nice move, getting the ctrl-left to sit there and admit that, yes, they DO want to destroy the country and why would you have any doubt anymore.
Look at those people. They are damned if they sit, and damned if they don’t, by the public and the crazy, destructive wing that runs their party, respectively. They are cowards, nonetheless, or truly evil, if not. I saw a tweet on Instapundit by one Cynical Publius that might have gotten to the heart of the matter:
One of the great superpowers of Donald Trump is his ability to make his opponents hate him SO MUCH that they will do incredibly stupid things to spite him, even if it means destroying their own reputations and electoral chances.I am not sure if it’s that they hate him so much or that they hate not being able to destroy America as planned.
Well, that clip gets boring a while before 03:20, when the be-spectacled gentlemen - I don’t know all these people - stopped clapping. You probably know what came next, but either way, keep going. There was an outburst from our least favorite CongressRaghead. The outbursts at the SOTO are said to have started, and I remember this, with S. Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson calling out to Øb☭ma “You lie!” back in ‘09. He wasn’t wrong, but I suppose that was the precedent that started the heckling at these formerly more formal events. It is awfully Idiocratic, as in, the movie, but if that’s the way we’re headed …
The cameraman, or producer I suppose, zoomed in on Rep Omar (D-SO), as she pitched a fit and then sulked. To her left is that piece of work named
Trump doesn’t drop these things, so there’s been more back-and-forth between he and the Minnegadishan raghead. Per The Gateway Pundit, Trump GOES OFF on “Low IQ” Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib For Screaming at Him During SOTU Speech, Calls For Them to Be Deported .
Trump said they should be institutionalized and deported.How about deported to an institution…. just to be sure.
The camera panned over to Ilhan Omar as President Trump called out Somali pirates and fraud rings in Minnesota.Now I’ve got go back and watch that part!
I’m just a little miffed about Trump having missed chances to boast on measures taken to curtail the Legal immigration invasion. Otherwise, those highlights of the SOTU were a blast.
PS: OK, for the record, this is the State of the Union speech from Idiocracy, set in 2505. Mike Judge made the movie 20 years ago with a 500 year estimate of the arrival of Idiocracy. He was optimistic. I could see this being 30 years from now, 50 years after Mike Judge’s movie, rather than 500.
* That post does have all the usual ads interspersed between every few hundred lines of text, but that didn’t prevent me from doing a quick search and then scan of the text.
** How can one’s ego get like this? Obamacare was not named by that President and was often said in a derogatory manner. (It still sucks, but Socialism means you get stuck in it and cannot easily back out.) Is it not enough for Trump that he HAS changed some things for the better?
*** I first thought the other piece of work was that Jaypal something or other. I can’t keep these freaks apart.

PS: Yep, clear enough, Mr. Smith. Your 3-legged stool makes sense. President Trump has been trying to do something about the Bug-out Baby scam - maybe someone should show him that for simplicity’s sake.

Maybe having four biological grandparents who are Natural Born Citizens (born on American soil to parents who were Citizens at their time of birth) should be a strict requirement for all "government" employment? (Yes. Even the guy mowing the grass for the county.)

PS: "... they clearly didn’t envision foreigners from alien cultures qualifying for Congress with such little attachment to the USA and the states in which they might reside." No way they had any reason to imagine that even!
"We clearly need a minimum time as a US citizen, e.g. 25 years, before the likes of Omar or Tlaib (sp ?) can be elected to said office." There's yet another Amendment... but it should have been brought up and ratified while we had the chance.
I've seen all kinds of foreigners there at the Customs Hall, deigning to determine who get into (back into) America. This is why I figure there can easily be corruption there, Alarmist.
Thanks for the comment.

PS
The Framers had good reasons to put minimum ages for various offices in the Constitution, but they clearly didn’t envision foreigners from alien cultures qualifying for Congress with such little attachment to the USA and the states in which they might reside. We clearly need a minimum time as a US citizen, e.g. 25 years, before the likes of Omar or Tlaib (sp ?) can be elected to said office.
On further thought, thinking of the beturbaned and benaquibed folks who bark at me as I try to re-enter the USA, maybe there should be a minimum period of citizenship before recent arrivals also qualify for any sort of government employment at any level of government.
