Public Service Announcement

I have discovered that people don’t know this, so I’ll say it here.

The reason why all these millions of migrants crawl through barbed wire and cross the border illegally is because, unless you are brilliant, highly educated or won the immigration lottery, there’s no other way to immigrate to the United States. We are forcing migrants to schlep across countries and cross the border illegally because that’s their only way to get their immigration case heard.

Hence, the only way to prevent people from doing that is to stop requiring it. The migrants sleeping on the floor of Logan airport could be sleeping in their own beds if we gave them the option to apply from home and wait for the resolution of their case at home.

That’s how I applied for immigration to Canada. I waited for two years for my case to be heard while living at home, making money, and not being a burden to Canadian taxpayers. That’s the only humane, normal and respectful way to do it. The only reason I emigrated to Canada and not the US was because the US doesn’t give you the option to do it without crossing the border illegally.

The border crisis is entirely of our own making. And it can be solved cheaply and fast. The politicians who pretend this is a huge, intractable issue are lying to us.

Please tell this to people you know. When I share this with normies, the reaction is that of stunned disbelief. People honestly, sincerely don’t know how badly they are being duped. Just talk about it. This will not become part of the national conversation unless we make it so.

      I know I’m like a broken record on this subject but it drives me nuts that such a simple truth is so hidden behind a mountain of lies.

        I had no idea people in general did not know this. INS is broken completely. And your summary is succinct and without rancor: most helpful.

    Suppose someone married an American and wanted to become a citizen. Do they need to enter illegally?

    How many of the people who currently break into the USA, would actually refrain from doing so, in favor of filling out a web page and trusting their admission to the decision of an official?

      Yes, there’s an exception for marriage but that’s not what’s creating the throngs of migrants at the border.

      If people know that they have no chance of ever achieving a legal status by entering illegally, of course they will refrain. At least, many will. Nobody enjoys paying $10,000 to coyotes and being beaten and raped in the process.

      In any case, why not try? It costs nothing, especially compared with the current situation where you need to transport, feed and house the people, provide schooling and medical care.

    I’m looking at this from a European perspective. What you say is true; however, many (most?) would-be immigrants know that if such a system as Canada’s were in place in the EU, they would not stand a chance of getting in. The EU-funded, EU-supported, EU-encouraged NGOs and other ideologised groups – most academics, most bleeding heart liberals, most White women from the middle class – know that, but the insist on the current system with ferocious determination since they are of the idea that anyone who wants to migrate to the West should be allowed to.

    Around 80% of all asylum claims are rejected on average across the EU, with some significant changes depending on the country and the period of the year. However, those illegal immigrants as they now are once their claims have been denied, are given leave to stay indefinitely, or temporary humanitarian protection status which is renewed on a regular basis. It stands to reason that a would-be immigrant has all reasons to try and get to a Western country because he knows for a fact that once he is there he will not have to return to his country of origin. Ever.

    This is why two thirds of illegal immigrants destroy their passports and other documents so that they can lie to the authorities about their names, their nationality, their age and their status. This is extremely detrimental for genuine refugees, people who are fleeing for their lives due to actual persecution of any kind, and who are lumped together with the fake ones. Well, what would you expect, you can’t take people for a ride for years and then be surprised that there is animus against “refugees”.

    In countries like Italy, France, Germany, Spain and most EU states in fact, the authorities do not know where the people arriving are: the situation with sex trafficking and minors trafficking is horrendous, and beyond one’s wildest imagination: hundreds of thousands – by now millions probably – of women, men and unaccompanied minors disappear into European countries and are never heard of again. Their fate is horrific: forced prostitution, involuntary servitude, organ trafficking. YES! Tell your liberal friends, in fact tell everyone.

    Dear Clarissa, I don’t know about the US, apart from what I can glean on the Internet, but in the EU, and in my country in particular, migrant trafficking is big mafia business. Those NGOs so spasmodically running rescue and salvage operations do not give a damn about immigrants or refugees: once the immigrants are brought to the mainland they are left to their own devices. NGO funding is BIG MONEY and significant political clout attaches to it which can later be monetised leading to the start of brilliant careers as MPs in national parliaments and Euro-MPs in Brussels.

    The Geneva conventions of 1949 and 1951 regulating the status of refugees and other, more recent, international legal compacts designed to deal with the enormous flux of migrants are woefully inadequate and in fact contribute to the situation that is soon going to overwhelm European citizens. Unless such conventions are abolished and all countries start to detain all illegal immigrants, as Australia did so successfully a few years ago, start processing asylum claims near where refugees live and, more crucially, unless pro-immigration NGOs are declared enemies of the state and defunded, nothing will change.

    The problem is that there is no political will to do this in Europe, either on the Left or on the Right. Virtue signalling and Wokism have conquered the elites and the middle classes, and most of what is left of Europe’s working class. Everybody is suffering: ordinary people, refugees and genuine prospective immigrants who are left with no alternative but to face the harrowing sea crossing over the Mediterranean or, even worse, their trek across the Sahara desert.

    Those of you in the US should look up Cesar Chavez, a Chicano labor leader and civil rights activist who encouraged union members along the Arizona-Mexico border to prevent immigrants from crossing into the US, accusing US border agents of letting them in in order to undermine the labor conditions of US Latino farm workers.

    [I am very sorry for the long post, please forgive me.]

      No, it’s a great post, please feel free to say what you need.

      Europe is definitely in a dead-end regarding immigration. The measure I propose wouldn’t work in Europe. The multitude of reasons you very correctly enumerate all stem from one underlying problem: European countries ceded an enormous chunk of their sovereignty to the EU. This issue is easier to solve in the US because our sovereignty is not compromised in this way. In the EU this would take an enormous amount of effort and a lot of changes on many levels. I want the US to avoid the sad fate of Europe before it’s too late.

      For Europe, though, yeah… It sucks. I have no ideas whatsoever. Unfortunately.

      A lot of words to avoid stating the simple fact that nobody is proposing the measure that I outlined and Trump did not sign the executive order on anchor babies that he explicitly promised many times during his first campaign. There’s also no mention of the fact that Trump deported less than Obama and immigration numbers grew under his administration.

      We will not get what we want until we start demanding it. Articles such as this one muddle the issue, and I’m starting to think that it’s done on purpose. It all begins to sound so complex that most people just give up. And that’s where the trick lies.

    Related. Have you seen this?

    “Amazing speech by Ilhan Omar. She’s proudly claiming Somalia is for Somalians, that their brotherhood is tied by blood, that Somalia comes first, that Muslims come second, and that she is using the US to protect her nation’s interests. Besides the blood and soil rhetoric which is virtually indistinguishable from the “white supremacists” she rallies against in the country where she was elected, she’s openly admitting to unethical conduct in US office that is tantamount to treason.”

      What’s really stunning is that she says all this completely openly, and nobody cares. Dupes will vote for her again and again.

    She is the daughter of a Somali general who fled the country (after doing some war crimes, I am sure). Imagine coming to a new country which gave you more than you could’ve possibly deserve: wealth, power, prestige, respect, and still shitting on it day in day out, calling it an evil, white supremacist country.

    “Go back to Africa” couldn’t be more appropriate response to this person.

      It’s one of the great successes of our immigration policy. The most unintelligent and unlikely to assimilate are chosen purposefully. This is the result.
