Immigrants be Gone – Why Aren’t US Native Americans Cheering?

Lies Flow and Remain MAGA “Truths”

“We could go one way or the other, and we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country… [Naturalized Somali US Congresswoman] Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These [Somali immigrants] aren’t people who work. These aren’t people who say, ‘Let’s go, come on, let’s make this place great.’…These are people that do nothing but complain… When they come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but b—-, we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.” 

In a press interview.

“We’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in [Somali] garbage into our country…. When I see somebody like Ilhan Omar, who I don’t know at all, but I always watch her — for years, I’ve watched her — complain about our Constitution, how she’s being treated badly, our Constitution, the United States of America is a bad place, hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody. And I think she’s an incompetent person. She’s a real terrible person.”

"Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation" 

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

"Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won't be here for long!"

“This memorandum mandates that all aliens meeting these criteria undergo a thorough re-review process, including a potential interview and, if necessary, a re-interview, to fully assess all national security and public safety threats along with any other related grounds of inadmissibility or ineligibility. An individualized, case-by-case review and assessment will be done of all relevant information and facts. USCIS will also conduct a comprehensive review of all relevant policies, procedures, and operational guidance for compliance, accuracy, and needed improvements during this time.”

“I have no idea. It was just an MRI… It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing.” 

To a reporter who asked about his MRI

Yup, a medical procedure that had never before been used in Trump’s medical check-ups is suddenly routine. Falling asleep in international gatherings, military parades, campaign rallies and cabinet meetings is standard “Sleepy Joe” … what? That’s Donald Trump slumping forward? Lyin’ Pete Hegseth isn’t interesting enough even when he is throwing an admiral, following his orders to “kill everyone,” under the bus? We are so jaded that we have not even recognized his roiling insults (“quiet piggy,” “she’s garbage,” one reporter was “seriously retarded,” Somalia “stinks,” etc.). Trump has always lambasted immigrants of color… particularly Muslims… and immigrants from “shithole” counties. No surprise. But as his poll numbers are beginning to mirror the Titanic, his late-night tirades (posted, of course), his increased reliance on name calling have reached new voluminous depths, even for Trump.

For those of us who have lost parents to Alzheimer’s or other comparable dementia diseases, this angry name calling is nothing new. For a 79-year-old President, with the power to release a nuclear missile attack on his own, all these accelerating symptoms have to be terrifying. Instead, notwithstanding the Epstein debacle and congressional concern over extra-judicial executions using massive naval overkill, attacks that could be war crimes, the bulk of the Republican Party still buys into Trump’s dictatorial orders. His obvious lies are parroted like gospel. But with a cowering cabinet and a sycophantic congressional majority, what should be a deep review of Trump removal under the 25th Amendment because of his obviously deteriorating condition. Isn’t.

It would be a shame if the nation fell into a new autocratic form of government because a potential mentally impaired president is simply followed without question. And the meantime, Trump’s demonization of immigrants (particularly non-whites) escalates. See also my Whites (and Super-Educated/Rich) Only Migration blog on Trump’s granting special immigration asylum to white Afrikaner farmers from South Africa. “Mr. Trump has seized on immigration as a potent political weapon, demonizing immigrants and equating them with crime and disease. In a social media post on Thursday night [11/27], Mr. Trump claimed that Somalis were ‘taking over’ Minnesota and that Somali gangs were ‘roving the streets looking for ‘prey.’” NY Times, December 3rd.

“The president said on Truth Social that ‘most’ foreign-born U.S. residents ‘are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels’ as he blamed them for crime across the country that is predominantly committed by U.S. citizens… The perception that immigration breeds crime ‘continues to falter under the weight of the evidence,’ according to a review of academic literature last year in the Annual Review of Criminology.

“‘With few exceptions, studies conducted at both the aggregate and individual levels demonstrate that high concentrations of immigrants are not associated with increased levels of crime and delinquency across neighborhoods and cities in the United States,’ it said.” NPR, November 28th. That immigrants are one of the greatest creators of new jobs in this country slips by, unnoticed. But Trump is also targeting citizens, even ethnically European whites, if they do anything to thwart his cruel immigrations policies, or his use of troops bring to heel those who do not fit his description of a good or “heritage” Americans, a phrase which excludes descendants of slaves or even indigenous peoples. On December 3rd, Los Angeles Times guest columnist, Gustavo Arellano, noted that Trump’s immigration targets “could be anyone now”:

“[Trump embraces] an idea the farthest fringes of the American right have preached going back to the days of slavery, when some wanted freed Black people sent back to Africa, lest they poison democracy. In recent years, it’s been proposed by so-called Heritage Americans who insist the United States rightfully — and only — belongs to folks whose ancestors were roughing it on the frontier back in the days when passenger pigeons blotted out the sun … But don’t sit too comfy if you can trace your family back to William Bradford. Trump also wrote that he wants a ‘major reduction’ in ‘disruptive populations’ — ‘anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country ... or non-compatible with Western Civilization.’

“But who is anyone kidding?... Demonizing, detainment, detention, deportation — this is what Trump has gleefully pursued against undocumented immigrants from the start of his second term. But it was never just about the ‘worst of the worst,’ as the dozens of American citizens rounded up in his indiscriminate raids can attest. It was always about anyone who wasn’t white… It was always about anyone who stood in Trump’s way.

“It’s why Trump wants to send in the military at the slightest protest against his policies , why he called Democratic lawmakers ‘traitors’ for daring to remind military members that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and not illegal commands by rogue leaders… Trump is using the deadly attack on the National Guard troops as cover not just to halt all asylum applications but also to propose booting from this country anyone who isn’t 100% with him — even if you’re a citizen or a legal resident.” Funny, I heard most of this vitriol from Vladimir Putin too. In Russia, though, they don’t send death threats to the opposition; they simply “eliminate” them.

I’m Peter Dekom, and while most of these vectors are about as un-American as you can get, that one third of the third most populous nation on Earth just might be following a leader whose mental faculties might be falling faster than a rock thrown off Gibraltar is particularly troubling.
