PS: Thanks for taking the time to look all that up, Mr. Hail. Between this and the great comments on TUR, you must be buying energy drinks by the case. ;-}

“Steve Sailer has written many times about what he calls Ellis Island Schmaltz as a reason Jews (and some others) tend to knee-jerkingly support loose immigration policy.” Yes, he has done a great job noticing this mentality.

I saw a really good comment on ZeroHedge - I’m not sure if the guy made it up:

“Yeah, but I’m not against abortion just because I was a fetus.” Ha! It’s perfect joke for the immigration-sane of the left anyway.

PS: Alarmist, in the first (attempt at a) post, I put at the bottom that we assume the D-party is traitors to the man.. .woman… whatever…

I agree that the way these votes work is you vote against America if you donors want that, unless it’s just too risky, so they arrange for just enough and the right people to put the vote over the top while keeping almost everyone in office. There’s probably some spreadsheet they use …

-- The pro-Haitian Ten's "immigration grades" --

Okay this is a very interesting topic, and a chance to ask some hard questions.

Who are these 10?
What's wrong with them?
What's wrong with "us"?

The NumbersUSA "Immigration-restriction report card" system, which gives each Congressman and Senator a grade from A+ to F-, might help shed some light.

I looked up the scores for these 10 Republican defectors that want to create a pipeline that could yield an easy million more net Haitians in coming years (if staying permanently plus given the usual chain-migration rights):

___________

(1.) MARIA SALAZAR (R-Florida) (b.1961 in Miami; Cuban; longtime TV journalist with Telemundo)
- C: career immigration grade in Congress;
- D: current-term immigration grade.

(2.) DON BACON (R-Nebraska) (b.1963, White Protestant; career USAF officer, nearly 30 years; has a long trail of philo-Semitic views and has been praised by a Jewish advocacy group as "the most kosher Bacon")
- C-: career immigration grade in Congress;
- C+: current-term immigration grade.

(3.) BRIAN FITZPATRICK (R-Pennsylvania) (b.1973, Irish-Catholic; close to AIPAC)
- C: career immigration grade in Congress;
- D+: current-term immigration grade.

(4.) CARLOS GIMENEZ (R-Florida) (b.1954 in Havana; Cuban; major political figure in Miami in the 2000s-2010s, including as Mayor of Miami-Dade County, 2011-2020).
- B: career immigration grade in Congress;
- B: current-term immigration grade.

(5.) NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS (R-New York) (b.1980 in NYC, half-Greek, half-Cuban; she is said to consider herself a "Hispanic," via her anti-Castro Cuban mother, but is also part of the Greek Orthodox Church)
- B: career immigration grade in Congress;
- B: current-term immigration grade.

(6.) MARIO DIAZ BALART (R-Florida) (b.1961 in Florida; Cuban; he has been sitting around Congress since being first elected in Nov. 2002, and, in most of that time, has lobbied for amnesty for all law-abiding, tax-paying illegals in exchange for stronger border enforcement)
- D+: career immigration grade in Congress;
- D+: current-term immigration grade.

(7.) MIKE LAWLER (R-New York) (b.1986 near NYC and raised there; claims to be of Irish-Catholic and Italian ancestry; has been rated one of the most pro-Israel Congressmen since his first election in Nov. 2022, and has spearheaded the Trump moves to try to use the full force of the government to ban and penalize any American who boycotts Israel)
- C+: career immigration grade in Congress;
- C-: current-term immigration grade.

(8.) MIKE TURNER (R-Ohio) (b.1960, White Protestant; two-term mayor of Dayton, Ohio, 1994-2002 just before entering Congress; often referred to as a "moderate Republican")
- C+: career immigration grade in Congress;
- B-: current-term immigration grade.

(9.) RICH McCORMICK (R-Georgia) (b.1968, White Catholic?, largely raised in Portland, Oregon; 20-year military career ending in 2017, and soon shifted to politics, running first in 2020 in Georgia --- his first ties to Georgia were when he got a medical degree from Morehouse School of Medicine in 2010 while in the military, but Morehouse is a "Black college")
- B+: career immigration grade in Congress;
- B: current-term immigration grade.

(10.) MIKE CAREY (R-Ohio) (b.1971, White Catholic; graduate of a military college and a ten-year Army National Guard member; later a coal-industry lobbyist; he won a special election in Nov 2021, the only reason he stood out in a crowded field being a loud endorsement from Trump in June 2021...)
- B: career immigration grade in Congress;
- B-: current-term immigration grade.

SUMMARY

What do these people have in common?

-- 4 of the 10 are "Hispanics." ALL four are of Cuban origin, and all four are of apparently full-European ancestry (Salazar, Malliotakis, Gimenez, Balart).

-- Of the 6 who are NOT Hispanics:
---- 4 are Catholics (Fitzpatrick Lawler, McCormick, Carey)
---- 2 are Protestants (Bacon, Turner).
---- and 3 have been identified as among the most pro-Israel sitting members of Congress (Bacon, Fitzpatrick, Lawler).

________

(The Normally Good on Immigration group)
-- 5 of the 10 in this list get relatively good immigration-policy scores, above "C." But still they voted "Keep the Haitians Permanently." If all 5 had voted "Don't Keep the Haitians," the bill would've failed. Who were these crucial 5?
---- 2 have family ties to Cuba (Gimenez, Malliotakis);
---- 3 are ordinary-seeming Whites (Turner, McCormick, Carey), of whom 2 are Catholics (McCormick, Carey).

(The Normally Bad on Immigration group)
-- Of the 5 who have immigration-policy scores of "C" or below,
---- 2 are Cubans (Salazar, Balart)
---- 3 are considered among the most pro-Israel Congressmen (Bacon, Fitzpatrick, Lawler).

__________

CONCLUSION: I see four or five tendencies that came to the surface here.
.

1.) These 4 Cubans voting to keep the Haitians seem to have in mind keeping a system that helps Cubans, and/or other Latin American right-wingers, to continue to have wide access to the US.

(Marco Rubio is of this type, and I suspect it was he who engineered the abduction of the president of Venezuela and the possibly-soon-coming invasion of Cuba, once the head-man gets bored of Iran.)

.

2.) The presence of 3 of the leading pro-Israel Republicans (Bacon, Fitzpatrick, Lawler) in this small group is not possible to be statistically random. It makes me think they have imbibed excessively of the ideology in the air around their Israeli and dual-citizen associates.

Steve Sailer has written many times about what he calls Ellis Island Schmaltz as a reason Jews (and some others) tend to knee-jerkingly support loose immigration policy.

.

3.) Of the non-Cubans, that there are 4 Catholics and only 2 Protestants suggests the same as in (2.), namely inherited attitude towards praising the legacy of Ellis Island. Most of
.

4.) Finally, the general white-liberal tendency of people from areas without many Blacks. This helps explain Carey and McCormick. It possibly influences Bacon and Fitzpatrick.
.

5.) Military associations. Bacon, McCormick, and Carey: all three have significant military backgrounds, especially Bacon and McCormick. They probably imbibed a lot of some strain of ideology of "Our role is to protect poor, oppressed brown and black little brothers out there."

PS

Oops. I went by the graphic, so it’s at least 224 traitors. I would imagine more, since many of the nays were allowed to vote nay in a desperate attempt to hold their seat in November.

TOFU … Trump Obviously F****d Up.

PS

That would be 219 traitors … jus’ sayin’
