Divided Among Ourselves

How Mass Immigration Fractures Native American Solidarity and Why a Complete Pause Can Restore It I live in Plano, Texas. The changes I described yesterday (the mosques, the layered languages in the parks, the shifting rhythms of daily suburban life) are not abstract. They have done something deeper and more insidious than simply altering the face of my hometown. They have fractured us, the native-born Americans who built these neighborhoods, these schools, these parks. Neighbors who once shared the same unspoken assumptions about backyard barbecues, English-default conversations, and a common Texas cadence now eye one another warily across the street. Parents…

The Incompatibility Warning

Britain's Demographic Suicide Is Coming Here Unless We Act Now I wrote my last column from the front porch of the suburban Texas life I grew up in. I looked out at the same streets I played on as a kid and watched mosques rise where churches and community centers once stood. I heard conversations in parks where English used to be the default. I saw kids struggling to find common ground because their parents come from worlds that never shared one. And I said plainly: I don’t want my country to become a shithole country. I don’t want what’s happening…

Restore the American Melting Pot

The Unrecognizable Hometown: How Hart-Celler Killed the Melting Pot and How to Bring It Back I live in Plano, Texas. Less than a mile from my house stand two mosques that have quietly reshaped the rhythm of daily life in what used to be a classic suburban neighborhood of wide streets, backyard barbecues, and kids riding bikes until the streetlights came on. Parks where my neighbors once spoke English as the default language now echo with multiple foreign tongues: Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, and others I can’t always place. Children struggle to make simple friends because the common ground has narrowed; casual…

Why the DIGNIDAD Act Must Die

From Lies and Loopholes to Chattel Management In my column, “Lies, Loopholes, and Legalization,” I went through H.R. 4393, Rep. María Elvira Salazar’s so-called DIGNIDAD Act, section by section. I called it what it is: an awful amnesty bill full of lies, slicker and roughly four times larger than the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli scam. It grants protected legal status and work authorization to roughly 11–12 million people who were here illegally before 2021, offers Dreamers a clear path to green cards and citizenship, waters down criminal and gang bars, accelerates chain migration through hardship presumptions, and sells the whole thing with deceptive…

Lies, Loopholes, and Legalization

Why the DIGNIDAD Act is a Worse Amnesty Than 1986 A couple of months ago, I wrote about the recurring trap of so-called “comprehensive immigration reform,” the same old song where tough-sounding border talk gets paired with large-scale legalization that functions as backdoor amnesty. Well, here it is in black and white: H.R. 4393, the “DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025.” Introduced last July by Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), this 261-page bill is still sitting in committee. It has picked up around 39 cosponsors, roughly split between Republicans and Democrats, and endorsements from business groups, faith…

The Squeeze on American Workers

Why Americans Lose Jobs to Foreign Workers Let’s dispense with the illusions from the start. The immigration debate is drowning in deliberately soft, misleading language-“undocumented immigrants,” “common-sense solutions,” “path to citizenship,” “comprehensive reform”-all crafted to mask what is really happening. Peel those euphemisms away and the raw truth stands exposed: we are dealing with large-scale amnesty disguised as humanitarianism and unchecked mass importation of foreign labor disguised as economic necessity. The combined effect is to convert the American labor market into a worldwide commodity pool where U.S. citizens are routinely outbid, displaced, and marginalized in the very economy their forebears built.…

No Backdoor Amnesty

The Amnesty Gateway in Lawler-Fitzpatrick Reforms Republican Representatives Mike Lawler and Brian Fitzpatrick recently released statements calling for what they term "comprehensive" and "common sense" immigration reform. On Tuesday, following the fatal shootings in Minneapolis involving federal immigration agents-incidents that claimed the lives of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti-Lawler published an op-ed in The New York Times urging a "new comprehensive national immigration policy" that is "secure, lawful, and humane." He praised the Trump administration's border successes, including over 675,000 deportations and sharply reduced crossings, but insisted the system remains "broken for 40 years" and requires bipartisan action beyond…

This is the Brezhnev Doctrine

How Irreversible Gains Are Engineered—and Now Defended Through Nullification In a Sunday morning post on X, @Geiger_Capital captured the asymmetry that has defined American immigration politics for years: "One President can open our nation’s border and purposefully mass release millions of unvetted illegal immigrants into the country. But the next President can’t remove them without obstruction, riots and legal hoops. If it continues, we have no sovereignty."

Third Circuit Panel Draws the Line

Why the Third Circuit's Khalil Ruling Advances Justice in Immigration Enforcement In a landscape where immigration policy has become a battlefield of legal maneuvers, ideological clashes, and administrative chaos, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a much-needed dose of procedural clarity today in Khalil v. President of the United States. This 2-1 panel opinion, penned per curiam by Judges Thomas M. Hardiman, Stephanos Bibas, and Arianna J. Freeman, isn't just a win for the Trump administration-it's a reaffirmation that the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) means what it says: Challenges to removal proceedings belong in streamlined channels, not endless district-court…

Minnesota Throws Hail Mary at ICE

How Federal Plenary Power Dooms Minnesota's Complaint In Minneapolis, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul have filed an 80-page complaint against the Trump administration's Operation Metro Surge. The suit-State of Minnesota et al. v. Noem et al.-frames the deployment of roughly 2,000 DHS agents as a "federal invasion," complete with "militarized raids" and political payback. It's bold, loud, and almost certainly doomed. From an originalist standpoint, this is another round of blue-state resistance that will hit the brick wall of federal supremacy. The Constitution's text and history allocate immigration authority squarely to the national…
