Immigrants And Politics

[PoliticalChic]

1. When one studies history all sorts of interesting, perhaps amusing, connections occur. The Democrat Party made a decision nearly a centure ago to flood the nation with immigrants....the terms legal and illegal not always a consideration....because they could use welfare to accrue votes.
True story.


2. One of the results was the introduction of a foreign ideology, communism/socialism/progressivism/liberalism into our politics. Here in NYC an openly communist candidate is poised to win the Democrat mayoralty.



3. November 4th, 1856, the man generally recognized as the worst president in our history, James Buchanan, won the office...and precipitated the Civil War. He beat the first Republican candidate for the office, Fremont, because Van Buren was a spoiler in the election.


4. Buchanan (45.4%) defeats Fremont (33 %) as Van Buren siphons off 21.6% of the vote running as the American Party (Know Nothings), which was rabidly anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic.



5.The Know-Nothing Party (formally the American Party), prominent in the 1850s, was primarily a nativist and anti-Catholic political movement. Its platform focused on restricting the political power and influence of immigrants, particularly the large wave of Irish and German Catholics arriving at that time. (Google)
The platform included:

Severe limits on immigration, especially from Catholic countries

Restricting political office to native-born Americans

Mandating a wait of 21 years before an immigrant could gain citizenship

Restricting public school teachers to Protestants

Mandating daily Bible readings in public schools

Restricting the sale of liquor

Some dunce who alway adds emoticons rather than actual posts, added "fake news."
Of course that simply means he believes he needed to defent his masters in the Democrat Party.

Nothing in my post is fake. HIs objection was to this:
2. One of the results was the introduction of a foreign ideology, communism/socialism/progressivism/liberalism into our politics. Here in NYC an openly communist candidate is poised to win the Democrat mayoralty.



Let's check:

1. In "one of Mamdani's most recent controversies: his use of the phrase "seizing the means of production," a foundational pillar of socialist and communist ideology.

2. Philosopher Friedrich Engels, co-founder of Marxism, wrote in his book, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, that when a society takes over the means of production, "production of commodities is done away with, and, simultaneously, the mastery of product over the producer."

3. The government taking over the means of production ultimately leads to the end of private ownership of property. A person no longer owns anything, including the fruits of their labor."

It would be hard to be more Marxist than the Democrat candidate for mayor in NYC.

I look forward to that dunce's response.

As I wrote, flooding the country with immigrants added communism to the ballot.

Here's proof:



The most groundbreaking results of this poll are found in the cross-tabs. Among American-born New Yorkers, Cuomo leads by a healthy margin, with Mamdani only winning 31% of the vote.

Among foreign-born New Yorkers, Mamdani earns an extraordinary 62% of the vote, far outpacing Cuomo and Sliwa.

In the aftermath of the New York City mayoral debate, Patriot Polling conducted a citywide poll of 715 registered voters between October 18 and 19.

One wonders just how many of those 'foreign born' New Yorkers are actually illegal aliens.

One wonders just how many of those 'foreign born' New Yorkers are actually illegal aliens.

No doubt about it.

There were some 50-80 million illegals living....and documented with fake social security card and other certification even before Biden waved in another 12 million.

I'm sure many found their way to NYC.

 

[PoliticalChic]

On the subject of immigration/illegal immigration, the finest economist of our time, Milton Friedman, had this view.....favoring illegal immigration:





Milton Friedman was for illegal immigration.
"Friedman's considered view is that free migration without a welfare state is first best.
Welfare for all legal residents makes first-best free migration impossible. In that case, a high rate of illegal immigration is the second-best solution."
Milton Friedman's Argument for Illegal Immigration



Sooo....either open borders but no welfare in the country....or control of our borders but no welfare in the country.

Democrats demand both, so they get to buy votes.
Interesting economic choice?

This isn’t history, it’s a political fan fiction stitched together from random 19th-century Wikipedia trivia. The Democratic Party didn’t “flood the nation with immigrants for votes” (immigration was actually restricted for decades), welfare didn’t exist yet, and Van Buren wasn’t even politically active when Buchanan ran.

• A century ago (1920s-30s), the U.S. had some of the most restrictive immigration laws in history — including the 1924 Immigration Act (passed with broad bipartisan and southern Democratic support). It imposed strict quotas favoring northern Europeans and excluding most of Asia and Africa.
• The modern welfare state didn’t even exist yet. Social Security, unemployment insurance, and most public-assistance programs were created in the late 1930s under FDR — after immigration had already been severely limited.
• The 1965 Hart–Celler Act, which reformed the quota system, wasn’t a Democratic plot to “flood the nation.” It was a bipartisan bill (sponsored by a Democrat and a Republican, voted for by 75% of BOTH parties, and signed by LBJ) that kept overall immigration caps similar but made them more equitable by ending racial quotas.
• Progressive and socialist movements predate mass immigration waves and emerged mainly from American and European industrial labor movements, not immigration. The Progressive Era (1890–1920) was driven by native-born reformers like Theodore Roosevelt, Jane Addams, and Woodrow Wilson, not immigrants.
• Historically immigrants have been ANTI-Communism, not for it, as many of them weree fleeing from it.
• Buchanan didn’t “precipitate” the war — slavery did.
• Van Buren’s “spoiler” vote (he ran in 1848, not 1856) shows you dont understand the basic timeline. The Know-Nothing Party did run candidates in the 1850s, but Van Buren was already politically irrelevant.

Ironically, the Know-Nothing Party you describe so accurately was your side of the argument — anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and nativist. So thanks for reminding everyone which tradition this line of thinking actually comes from.

 

[whitehall]

Lost in the argument is the power of the press. The 1856 media was highly partisan. The press that could put out the most pamphlets to a relatively illiterate and uneducated society had the advantage. Not much different from the 20th century and beyond to today today when the majority of the mainstream media promotes democrat candidates and left wing ideology.

You are simply a brain-loser who will vote as directed by his masters.


Let's check, and see if you are too cowardly to answer a simple question.





For many years we on the Right have claimed that you subscribe to a party based on a foreign ideology. Now it is clear and out in the open.



The Mamdani Democrat party stands for abolishing private property, socialis/communism, anti-Semitism, and racism.




And a Dem Senator said this should be the direction of the party.



Obama has made it clear he is down with this Marxist.









If the direction of the Democrat Party, nationally, mirrors that of Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC, will you vote Democrat?



Mamdani proposed increasing taxes on white neighborhoods –
A document on his website explains the policy idea to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”

Mamdani is already leaning into his socialist views, telling CNN that he has “many critiques of capitalism.”
….he would eliminate fares on all city buses
......he plans to address the cost of food by creating city-owned grocery stores that will pay no rent or property taxes, buy and sell at wholesale prices from centralized warehouses and partner with local vendors to keep prices down.
.... raise NYC's minimum wage to $30





"Pressed on whether New York’s Jewish population could depend on him to protect them with antisemitic attacks on the rise in the United States, the candidate answered emphatically: “Antisemitism is not simply something that we should talk about."www.the-independent.com



Zohran Mamdani’s political positions, from Trump and ICE to Israel
Progressive shocks front-runner Andrew Cuomo in New York City mayoral race with stunning upset

... won the New York City primary race because of his support for Palestine,









I am looking for thinking Democrats, who understand what WaPo wrote:

The Post agrees, and they give the entire game away in their headline: Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party.

The press that could put out the most pamphlets to a relatively illiterate and uneducated society had the advantage. Not much different from the 20th century and beyond to today today when the majority of the manstream media promotes democrat candidates and left wing ideology.

1. Exactly so, but because the press is over 90% under the auspices of the Left/Democrat/Bolshevik/progressive influence and control.

The masses aren't illiterate, but indoctrinated through years of government schooling rather than education.
Sometimes, when referring to the massses, the 'm' is silent.


2. What has happened is not an accident......the plan was posited by the briliant communist theoretician
Antonio Gramschi.

“Antonio Gramsci, the philosopher who became the iconic thinker of the 1960s, laid down the blueprint for precisely what has happened in Britain: the capture of all society's institutions, such as schools, universities, churches, the media, the legal profession, the police and voluntary groups. This intellectual elite was persuaded to sing from the same subversive hymn-sheet so that the moral beliefs of the majority would be replaced by the values of those on the margins of society, the perfect ambience in which the Muslim grievance culture could be fanned into the flames of extremism.

At the core of those Western majority values lay the Mosaic code, which first gave the world the concept of morality, self-discipline and laws regulating behavior. Who, then, could be surprised that the Jews found themselves in the left's crosshairs?” Phillips, “Londonistan,” P.118-119



3.How can we expect Trump's short window of opportunity to undo their massive gains from indoctrination?



4. Who could ever has expected them to be so successful in in having millions of Americans hate their country and to sacrifice their children to mutilation and imaginary transformations?


5. Who could have imaginined that a nation based on biblical belief would now subscribe to murdering any who didn't agree with the political and satanic doctrines?


Can it be undone?????

This post, a copy and paste job you use regularly, doesn’t address the faults I identified in your original post.

The foundation of your argument is baseless as I pointed out thoroughly. Feel free to expand your argument against my critique or just let your OP evaporate. I don’t care. I enjoy debating reality which is why I corrected the record. The Democratic Party isn’t a manifestation of your racist replacement theory.

Admit you hate America and lie about the country every chance you get!!!!



This was your claim, indicting the USofA a racist...

“For example, many African American World War II veterans did not apply for government-guaranteed mortgages…”Here’s What’s Comin’





Oh....wait.......that was you!!!

Nixon was forced out of office for a lame burglary that was common in political circles at that time. The lead WAPO investigative journalist was the son of card carrying communists who raised him to hate former HUAC prosecutor Nixon. The media knew it but Nixon was easy to hate. Imagine an undocumented unverified anonymous informant with a sexy code name of "deep throat" being used by "investigative reporters for years without divulging his identity until he died? That was the mainstream media at that time and we all bought it because it was all we had.

Nixon????


The most Liberal President of the Civil Rights era.


As president of the Senate, Nixon strongly supported civil rights, specifically the 1957 civil rights act, issuing an advisory opinion that a filibuster could be stopped with a simple majority, thereby changing Senate rules.
Congressional Record, Volume 157 Issue 12 (Thursday, January 27, 2011)

“During the 1966 campaign, Nixon was personally thanked by Dr. King for his help in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1957 http://www.nbra.info/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Nixon_s_Southern_Strategy_Was_Not_A_Racist_Appeal



Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent, and doubled the budget for black colleges; appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ; adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and universities; invented "Black Capitalism" (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent; raised the share of Southern schools that were desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent.

This was written by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, "It has only been since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South."

Unlike the empty talk of the prior, Democrat, administration, between Nixon’s election in ’68 and the end of his second year in office, in ’70, black students attending all-black schools in the South declined from 68% to 18.4%, and the percentage of black students attending majority white schools went from 18.4% to 38.1%.
Conrad Black, “The Invincible Quest: The Life of Richard Milhous Nixon,” p. 647.



Nixon and the Republicans have been leaders in civil rights....


Liberals should have loved Richard Nixon.

The Nixon administration gives stark acknowledgement that 'Republican" is not the same as 'conservative.' Nixon, rather than adhering to 'limited government,' presided over a regulatory revolution from '70 to '74 that included OSHA, The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the EPA, the United States Environmental Protection Agency

"The Supreme Court's decision in Griggs v Duke Power in 1971, followed by congressional legislation in 1972 gave the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) expanded authority to oversee employers employment practices. Combined, OSHA, the EPA, and the EEOC affected virtually every workplace. It was also during the Nixon years that the slope of federal spending on social and economic programs turned sharply upward." Charles Murray, "By The People," p.6.

A ‘big government Republican….a RINO.



And Richard Nixon was far, far more the civil rights warrior than the Democrat Party. Proof….next.



Richard Nixon took shelling from the Right due to his expansion of government, the sort of things that the Left, the Democrats, the Progressives yearned for.
