Criminal cartels, Chinese nationals and terrorists crossing an open border unimpeded by an indifferent President is an invasion. This will not end well either.
You overlook "hispanics" in the list of those who detest "los malditos mojados" [= 'god-damned wetbacks']. During the Trump administration, the legal Mexicans around here in eastern Kansas -- right along the I-35 immigration corridor -- consistently out the illegals to ICE, and easily two-thirds of the now-US citizens voted for Trump in 2020.
I don't remember a time when I *didn't*speak Spanish, and Iearnt to read in that language a year before I could do in English. Determining where they're from by their regional accent is fairly easy for me, and I know many of the towns they come from.
And here's where I think the Donks may be making a huge error ... hispanics are the third Catholic-culture group of immigrants to arrive here en masse. The Irish became Democrats, and stayed that way. But within a generation of their big influx, the Italians began shifting rapidly to the Republican side, and are now solid-majority Republicans.
Hispanics are culturally much more like the Italians than the Irish, and now, some 40 years after their big influx began about 1985, right on time, they are now moving (in numbers) to the Republican side. The drugs and the cartels are only hastening that process, because family-oriented Mexicans hate them.
This won't change hard-core blue states, but its effect in "toss-up" states is likely to be significant. And probably permanent.
The speed with which 25 states signed up to support Abbott was startling. But then again the list of "when in the course of human events" insults delivered by our "betters" is getting long, and public patience is wearing thin. We are approaching civil disobedience on a large scale by people not used to it, with a politicized injustice system in power.
Gunfire doesn't start civil wars, it ends them. We're already in a civil war.
Too many voters don't connect the problem with the solution. People in very democrat cities are very unhappy about immigration, crime and the legal system. But they don't connect it to "throw the bums out." Even the primaries are between the machine and someone even crazier. Recently many suburbs have flipped blue and again, many suburban voters don't connect their concern about the border and other issues to the democrats they vote for. I think we are really, really screwed.
The usual endgame for this sort of thing in other societies has been death squads, organized either by police or by police-adjacent groups, taking out those whom the legal system cannot or will not control; we’ll see what happens in New York City.) But what happens 5 minutes into the future when those people move outside the cities? It is only a days walk to the suburbs and even less if you jump the turnstiles and take the metro to the last stop. Will it be a Kurt Schlichter novel in slow motion? I live in a suburb 6 miles from sanctuary center city and I do have a metro stop at the edge of my town. Who will stop that migration? My friends and neighbors would say that is unthinkable and tell me it would never happen. My father used To say if “man” can think it “man” can make it happen.
Notwithstanding all the illegal immigration from Latin America--a Dem-imposed Cloward-Piven strategy--I'm even more concerned about the number of Chinese and Muslim folks crossing the border. Seems to have sleeper cells written all over it. It wouldn't take that many bad guys to ignite fires throughout our national parks and to inflict major damage on the power grid.
The real task will be exporting the illegal aliens. (It's going to have to be done.) I used to think this would be impossible as the "Replacement Project" would prove to be so advantageous to Democrats that their usual constituency would at least remain silent to the inconveniences it imposed. We are now seeing that may not be the case. Blue city mayors and other Blue officials are becoming just as embittered as the rest of us to the realities on the ground. In reality, they are only scared for their elected hides... but who cares.
Lo and behold. There may be a bipartisan consensus forming to actually do the right thing here.
In December 2019, I had no inkling that the Feds and many states would lock down society, close our schools and churches, and toss aside many of our civil liberties only three months later.
“Another imminent Civil War” seems to be a bit overwrought at this point, but who knows? Not much surprises me anymore.
My greatest concern is that the Biden administration will get migrants to vote in 2024. Consider that Pres Biden signed an executive order directing all federal agencies to register voters, including with the assistance of private charities (i.e.- NGOs). Many of these charities favor voting rights for non-citizens. Then, consider the Federal government bussing and flying migrants to suburban areas, which happen to be swing Congressional districts. Finally, do you believe that swing states with Democratic governors (North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona) will object to counting absentee ballots facilitated by NGOs? That gives Biden about 299 electoral votes (didn't update for the 2020 census), even if he loses Georgia and Nevada. Naturally, the Justice Department and FBI will be prepared to charge anyone who objects with voter interference and/or suppression.
What if our present administration wants civil unrest? Another national emergency would enable another round of government mandates and sanctions. Those most opposed to this government overreach would surely expose themselves in their anti-totalitarian actions which would enable Biden’s gestapo DOJ to round them up and make examples of them as they did to the J6 protesters.
If anyone rather than Trump was running on the GOP ticket this November this would be a cakewalk. If Trump would just push back on Border Border Border and shut up about all of the personal BS he could win easily as well. But we all know he can’t do that simple thing.
We do not have the F-15s, etc. that President Biden says we need and he has. We do not have the FBI.. the CIA or pretty much any other federal agency which would support a good and proper free society. In the state of Washington, voters gave the governor emergency powers that would bring a smile to any Fascist. The current governor made good use of them. The legislature is likely to stay Democrat. They, the Democrats, are very busy reducing the rights of the citizenry.The end is near perhaps?
You don't have to be a Trump supporter to understand that the biggest threat to "our democracy" is the Democratic party.
Criminal cartels, Chinese nationals and terrorists crossing an open border unimpeded by an indifferent President is an invasion. This will not end well either.
Pieces like this written by someone who knows what they are talking about are quite a pleasure to us. And somewhat of a relief... Thank you.
But is it true that those charged with enforcing the law can simply not do so. Is there no recourse?

I dunno about the legalese, but the Civil War part is beginning to feel imminent.

Let us not forget that Judges are part of the ruling class that is driving the loss of freedoms.
