Cult? Qanon? . . . Oh . . . that's right . . . Your shrinking number of posts was helping me to disassociate from your make believe political world.

Tough messaging doesn't stop people from coming to the United States. Ask President Trump, who systematically separated -- tortured in the words of Physicians for Human Rights -- thousands of families. The following year, the Trump admin saw a major increase in migration to the border.

Ah!! Trump is not just a racist, a misogynist, a Nazi, a conspiracist, an idiot, a fool, a failure, a cult leader, a creator of fantasies, a cunning curator of hatred, a crook, a destroyer of human rights, a liar, a narcissist, a traitor, a psychopath, a sociopath, among other forgotten ists and isms, and now we find that he is also a torturer . . .

It's not like you have a Trump obsession . . . but maybe you might be better off if you disassociated from this Trump whatever thingy . . . he won't be alive much longer and he lost and you've done a yeoman's job of exposing what and who he is. It's becoming a bit redundant. If we haven't got it by now, we never will.

Maybe you could talk more about Biden and the Democrats. They have the power now.

Just a third of Americans say they approve of Biden's handling of the issue of immigration, with 53% saying they disapprove of his performance, an NPR/Marist poll said Tuesday.

Anyway, most Americans aren't really given all the "facts" by the corporate media. I'm not a fan of what most Americans think re politics. It often results in ignorant Constitution busting elections.

Maybe Venezuelans will vote Republican. Probably not.

[Pete F.]

I would assume Venezuelans, like Cubans have experience with "socialism" and also authoritarian regimes.
They will have to make a choice.

“The crisis we have is one of too few immigrants, not of too many,” says Charles Kenny, a senior fellow at the Center of Global Development, and Washington D.C., think tank. “If you look at U.N. projections, they suggest that, by 2050, the United States will need 50 million more workers to keep the current proportion of workers to the population overall.”

America’s fertility rates have dropped from 3.65 children per woman in 1960 to 1.73 children per woman in 2021, according to the World Bank. That’s way below the rate of 2.1 children per woman needed to replace annual deaths in the United States.

In the meantime, the growth of America’s total immigrant population has been slowing down in recent decades. The total rise in the U.S. foreign-born population went dropped from 11.5 million people in the 1990s to 8.8 million in the 2000s, to 4.8 million in this decade, according to the Pew Research Center.

Under Trump, the United States administratively reduced legal immigration — yes, you read that right — by about 49 percent, according to the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).

“The drop in international migration, combined with falling birth rates, resulted in what may have been the slowest decade of population growth in U.S. history — and does not include the additional decline between 2019 and 2020 connected to COVID-19,” a NFAP study says.

That's why I specifically asked about Venezuelans--considering their peculiar situation in which productive Venezuelans hate their "socialist" regime. But, then, illegals from the Central American countries aren't exactly in love with the regimes from which they're trying to escape. And they overwhelming vote Democrat.

Probably because the Dems are the ones who want to make it easier for them to come here.

Is the current proportion (or less) of workers to overall population going to be a "crisis" in 2050? How does he know that? We have officially 9.3 million unemployed right now. And that's not counting the millions of illegals who are under the radar. Nor the millions who have stopped looking for work. Is that a crisis NOW. If that is not a crisis now, why will it be in 2050? If there are not enough jobs to employ the current population, will there be enough in 2050 if we expand the population with millions of illegals every year. And what's to say that the illegals and their children won't adopt the new American way and refuse to have 2.1 children themselves, thus perpetuating and making worse the "crisis" in 2050?

Yeah, well the new American lifestyle, assisted by nearly a million abortions every year (1960's seem to be the decade that brought in the new style, including the abundant abortions since the 1970's). No doubt, the illegals, and for sure their children, want a piece of the lifestyle and have contributed to it since then. I don't see how immigration of any kind is a solution for that.

In the meantime, the growth of America’s total immigrant population has been slowing down in recent decades.

I'm assuming, that many of those foreign born bought into our lifestyle of less than 2.1 children for each woman.

Under Trump, the United States administratively reduced legal immigration — yes, you read that right — by about 49 percent, according to the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).

I guess with the number of illegals coming in we could cut the number if legals. Anyway, if we need more legals, that's easily fixable. And legal immigration is the only sane and controllable and beneficial for us way to do it.

The majority of advanced nations, if not just a about all, have had and continue to have severely falling birth rates.

Could it be that the high tech world the advanced nations have evolved into into don't require as much replacement fertility. And maybe even less so with the supposedly soon to be predominance of work being done by artificial intelligence. We are predicted to lose a huge number, several millions, of jobs to robotic systems which can simulate planning and production and delivery more efficiently and less costly than human labor can.

BTW, you have expressed concern for the well being of those countries from whence our illegals are coming--so, if falling fertility rates are a crisis, then are you concerned that they have dangerously been falling in Central America. El Salvador is already under the 2.1 replacement, the others are barely there, if not already so. Would the millions leaving those countries to come here exacerbate their replacement "crisis"? Or are you just a "racist" who doesn't care about the people in brown skin countries?

Looks a lot like supposition to me, most Cuban-Americans vote Republican.

Your supposition assumes that 9.3 million will not go back to work shortly and that "millions of illegals" somehow survive without working and that anyone is saying that we need to increase the number of illegal immigrants.

Abortions have consistently dropped since the 70s when they were quantified for the first time, unless you assume that illegal abortions never occurred. But that wouldn't fit your narrative.

At some point all systems fail, then you can be free of the tyrannical government at last.

Coming from the man who thinks we should bear no responsibility at all for the situation in Central America, you are now thinking of new concerns for me. Tell me again how you learned on YouTube that Mexicans are mentally deficient and rapists.

Cuba is not a Central American country. And I said that I "assume," not that I know for a fact. There's this from Pew Research: "the data provide some insights. In 2012, the Pew Research Center’s National Survey of Latinos found that among Latino immigrants who are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents (and therefore likely unauthorized immigrants), some 31% identify as Democrats and just 4% as Republicans."

"When one takes party “leaners” into account (i.e., those who don’t say they identify with one of the major parties, but in a follow-up question say they feel closer to one party than the other), about half of unauthorized Hispanic immigrants either identify with (31%) or lean towards (23%) the Democratic Party, while about two-in-ten identify with (4%) or lean towards (15%) the Republican Party."

"The predictions about how unauthorized immigrants will vote stem from the fact that among all Latino immigrants who are eligible to vote (i.e. are U.S. citizens) many more identify as Democrats than as Republicans—54% versus 11%."


Your supposition assumes that 9.3 million will not go back to work shortly and that "millions of illegals" somehow survive without working and that anyone is saying that we need to increase the number of illegal immigrants.

No, I'm responding to your post's declarative statement: "“The crisis we have is one of too few immigrants, not of too many,” and to its suggestive assumption: “If you look at U.N. projections, they suggest that, by 2050, the United States will need 50 million more workers to keep the current proportion of workers to the population overall.”

And that there are estimated millions of illegals that we don't know about and don't know how many of them are not working.

And I believe that we don't have to increase the number of illegals but rather we should decrease it. I don't know what you actually think about that, but I assume that you don't object to millions of illegals since you don't say otherwise but always respond in some manner that suggests we should not complain about it, but should either welcome it because we are guilty of creating their problems and that we have a worker crisis and rather than referring to them as illegal we should just say they are undocumented and should have a pathway to citizenship.



Abortions have consistently dropped since the 70s when they were quantified for the first time, unless you assume that illegal abortions never occurred. But that wouldn't fit your narrative.

Yes but they still number in the hundreds of thousands per year that we know about, and well over 60 million since 1973. That total number and the continuing 100's of thousands/year have mightily contributed to dropping of our fertility rate. And that's part of my narrative which is in response to your dropping fertility rate narrative.

In the meantime, the growth of America’s total immigrant population has been slowing down in recent decades. The total rise in the U.S. foreign-born population went dropped from 11.5 million people in the 1990s to 8.8 million in the 2000s, to 4.8 million in this decade, according to the Pew Research Center.

So are you complaining about that? Is that a bad thing for you? Is there something sacrosanct about maintaining a rise of double digit millions of foreign born population every decade?

I'm assuming, that many of those foreign born bought into our lifestyle of less than 2.1 children for each woman.

Unsupported supposition

I said that I was assuming. And I think it is a reasonable assumption. It is reasonable to assume they come here to partake in American life. That dropping fertility rate is a part of American life today. Some "support" could be that the fertility rate is dropping to that 2.1 number in Central America and is already there or less than that in El Salvador.

“The drop in international migration, combined with falling birth rates, resulted in what may have been the slowest decade of population growth in U.S. history — and does not include the additional decline between 2019 and 2020 connected to COVID-19,” a NFAP study says.

So round and round goes the government carousel. The government creates problems and tries to solve them with more problems. Maybe the gov. should adjust or get rid of the policies that contribute to and aid falling birth rates. Or maybe we don't actually need to be concerned about it. Maybe it's just evolution.

Coming from the man who thinks we should bear no responsibility at all for the situation in Central America, you are now thinking of new concerns for me. Tell me again how you learned on YouTube that Mexicans are mentally deficient and rapists.

What do you mean by "responsibility"? You mean historical causation for the situation in Central America? I don't think I have denied that. There's a lot of worldwide guilt there. And there's continued meddling. Giving them billions in "aid" which finances the corrupt governments that are the current problem, e.g. Ultimately, the people who consider themselves the citizens of a sovereign nation are responsible for that nation.

And I'm not thinking of "new" concerns" for you. You're the one who has several times brought up the problems that we supposedly are responsible for in Central America. And that how we are somehow therefor responsible for helping to solve those problems.

And I've never said, nor believe, that Mexicans are mentally deficient and rapists.

Molyneux's views are not always my views. I have said that he annoys me, and that his views on IQ are troublesome. But he makes good points and backs them up with hard data. I don't recall the particular YouTube you're referring to. Perhaps it had to do with the false accusation that Trump said Mexicans are rapists? Making the totally inclusive "Mexicans" rather than "some Mexicans" or a specifically referred to group of Mexicans amounts to a lie . . . probably intentionally so.

At any rate, regardless of what Molyneux said, I don't think that I have made a blanket statement that Mexicans are mentally deficient and rapists. Some are. Some Whites are. Some Blacks are. Some Asians are. And "mentally deficient" is too broad to be useful unless it refers to a particular mental deficiency. Again All races and ethnicities have individuals who are deficient in some way including a specified mental disorder.

Be very afraid, better put a mirror over your computer so you can see the illegals coming.

There are no nuanced, grownup solutions in Chicken Little Carlson’s head. Just like a bad remake of TFG, there are good guys and bad guys and spikes and monsters and killer alligators and moats around castles.

Analysis: Biden’s Policies to Drive 1.7 Million Illegal Immigrants to US in 2021
BY TOM OZIMEK July 17, 2021 Updated: July 17, 2021

A new analysis by Steven Kopits, head of Princeton Policy Advisors, a think tank, projects that immigration officials could encounter nearly 1.7 million people seeking to enter the United States illegally by the end of 2021, with Kopits blaming the Biden administration’s “open border” policies.

The analysis comes after federal immigration officials announced that they had apprehended 188,829 people illegally crossing the southwest border in June, up from 180,034 in May. The figure includes more than 15,000 unaccompanied minors, over 55,000 family units, and over 117,000 single adults.

“The only way to achieve such stratospheric numbers is by a deliberate policy of holding the border open,” Kopits wrote in the analysis.

“In all but two of the last twenty-one years, June apprehensions were below May apprehensions,” Kopits wrote. “The case is just the opposite this year, suggesting that extraordinary factors—like an open border—are stimulating continued and counter-seasonal flows of illegal immigration.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In the analysis, Kopits assumes the number of apprehensions will taper off in the balance of the year, similar to what happened several decades ago, although he notes that “apprehensions are showing no signs of doing so at the moment.”

“Our forecast for the balance of [calendar year] 2021 assumes a decrease in apprehensions following the precedent of 2000,” Kopits wrote. “In such an event, apprehensions at the U.S. southwest border would total 1,581,000 for [fiscal year] 2021 and 1,690,000 for calendar year 2021. The fiscal year figure would be the third worst in the historical record, and for the calendar year, the absolute worst in the historical record by nearly 100,000.”

While the number of illegal immigrants who were detected by Border Patrol but evaded capture isn’t released, Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said on June 24 that the number had exceeded 250,000 so far this fiscal year. The number who are not detected and not captured is impossible to estimate.

Since taking office, President Joe Biden has reversed a number of border and asylum policies implemented by the Trump administration, including overturning the Migrant Protection Protocols, which required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims were processed. Biden has also proposed an immigration bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants living in the United States.

Republicans have blamed Biden’s rollback of Trump-era policies for fueling the border surge, arguing that stricter rules around border security and asylum admissions serve to deter would be illegal immigrants from trying to enter the United States.
