The globalist head of The Economist thinks that it's "far right" to want secure borders and legal immigration.

If that's true, then this 2009 Chuck Schumer speech on immigration is one of the most far right speeches ever made.

Schumer Video summary:

"It argues that if those positions are far-right, then a 2009 speech by then-Senator Chuck Schumer on immigration ranks among the most far-right speeches ever given. The post includes a roughly 5-minute video clip of Schumer speaking at Georgetown Law in 2009, in which he discusses immigration enforcement, the need to control illegal immigration, and related policy points."

If The Economist feels that way, they can invite some illegals to live with them, after all they are living on stolen land right, so they can invite them over and give them room and board, for free of course since after all, its stolen land..but nope, they wont, the second they arrive they will be forced out quicker than they were forced out of Martha’s Vineyard

It’s a mistake or futile to try and find logic or reason involved here. You aren’t going to get anywhere trying to portray them as hypocrites or anything like that.

History began Yesterday, whatever the Narrative was then, that was what they believed. Today is different. If you try to persuade them using common sense or decency or history, forget it.

The issue, as they say, isn’t really the issue. The issue is the Revolution.

Americans are learning....

Yeah, maybe but it seems to me as if they are mostly on about a 35 year Time Delay. Too little way too late.

a recent X post pointed to British aristocracy as being largely responsible for the downfall and betrayal of GB and its indigenous people

More complicated than that but basically what happened was that the British Empire got involved in WWI and WWII.

Norway seems to be doing fine. They didn't have colonies and they didn't really fight in WWII.

20,000 lived in Rome around 700 AD. During the height of the Roman Empire, it had over a million.

Even if Vance or Rubio can replace Trump and win two terms, it may not matter. Afterwards, a Democrat will get in the White House. And that's all they need to turn this country into an one party totalitarian state.

Everyone who thinks like this should have the doors removed from their homes.

Hilary Clinton this time, being “far right “.

Hillary Clinton being a “far-right” extremist: We should not give taxpayer funded healthcare benefits to illegal aliens or encourage illegal immigration

Except 12 years of no presidency will change the Democratic Party.
Look at Hilary Clinton in my post above (post 28). What she’s saying now about illegal immigration is totally different from what she said then.

They used to be pretty good back in the day.
Long ago.
They've changed beyond recognition.

Bill Clinton ad (1992):
✅ End welfare as we know it
✅ Bring back the death penalty
✅ Cut spending and lower taxes

This is considered “far-right” today
