vdare--2020-11-01--The 2020 Election And Immigration Patriots: Bright Spots—And The Bad News Might Be Good!

Take Joe Biden at his word .
If he defeats Donald Trump on Tuesday , he will erase or reverse every one of Trump ’ s immigration achievements and ensure that another nationalist a.k.a .
American patriot can never win the White House .
Trump at the least won ’ t do that , and there ’ s always hope he will do more .
But Trump and Biden aren ’ t the only ones on the ballot Tuesday .
The Senate hangs in the balance and reliably red states could turn blue .
If Trump and the feckless GOP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ final days might be upon us .
The most pressing points for immigration patriots : The presidential race is a referendum on immigration patriotism Incredibly , the Presidential candidates have mostly ignored the issue that elected Trump in 2016 .
It wasn ’ t brought up at all in the first presidential debate or the vice presidential debate .
It was only a minor topic in the second Biden-Trump rumble [ Immigration was a dominant issue in the 2016 election , but not this time , by Hannah Miao , CNBC , October @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the election is a referendum on Trump ’ s ( modestly restrictive ) immigration policies .
A win will signal to GOP hacks that immigration patriotism is now acceptable and , more importantly , that it wins elections .
A loss will embolden the Republicucks , neocons and donors to claim that immigration patriotism cost the party the White House , so it must capitulate and open the borders .
The Main Stream Media/ Dem complex will pile on with plenty of post-mortem articles on how Trump ’ s “ evil ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set back the GOP and that , as after the GOP ’ s 2012 defeat , the party must now support Amnesty and more legal immigration to wipe away Trump ’ s racist stain [ RNC Completes 'Autopsy ' on 2012 Loss , Calls for Inclusion Not Policy Change , by Shushannah Walshe , ABC News , March 18 , 2013 ] .
If Biden wins , he will go the Full Merkel—Amnesty , Open Borders , dramatically increased “ refugee ” intake , stifled immigration enforcement .
We all know Trump has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that shouldn ’ t discount the serious progress he ’ s made .
With executive orders , he has reduced legal immigration , increased enforcement against illegal immigration , and beefed up the border with 400 miles of wall .
Indeed right now , because of Covid-19 and the need to protect American workers from the resulting depression , there is a de facto immigration moratorium , although no-one seems to want to talk about it .
No Year Has Seen Legal Immigration Cut Like the 2nd Half of FY 2020 , by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 13 , 2020 Trump will reportedly issue several solid executive orders if he wins a second term .
These include eliminating Birthright Citizenship , making harder to obtain Temporary Protected Status , increasing the standards for qualifying for citizenship , and further reducing “ refugee ” admissions to zero [ Trump aide Stephen Miller preparing second-term immigration blitz , by Amanda Holpuch , The Guardian , October 28 , 2020 ] .
Also on the ballot are the First and Second Amendments .
Tech censorship has sharply worsened as Election day approached .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and news stories that harm Biden are suppressed .
A Biden presidency will worsen this problem .
Both Trump and Biden want to change Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act , which grants social media platforms protection from publisher liabilities because they are , or are supposed to be , neutral bulletin boards anyone can use .
Trump ( and some Republicans ) want to revise it to protect political speech on social media yet make social media open to defamation claims .
But Biden would eliminate it altogether and turn the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end free speech on social media ; Twitter and Facebook would be CNN ’ s live feed .
They sort of already are , but repealing 230 entirely would wipe away the remaining dissidents .
Additionally , Biden ’ s running mate , Kamala Harris , wants the state to punish tech platforms if they tolerate “ hate speech ” —an offense unknown to U.S. law , which simply means arguments she doesn ’ t want to answer [ Kamala Harris Wants to Ban Social Media Hate Speech If She ’ s Elected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , May 7 , 2019 ] .
The only thing stopping state-approved tech tyranny : Donald Trump and Stupid Party congressmen and senators—who must stop being stupid .
Biden will also target the Second Amendment .
He has promised to confiscate AR-15s , the semi-automatic sporting rifles that resemble , but are not “ assault rifles ” or “ machine guns ” [ Gun Controllers Try to Hide Joe Biden ’ s Anti-gun Extremism , NRA-ILA.org September 14 , 2020 ] .
And Biden won ’ t stop there .
He ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s very bad news , and a great condemnation of Trump as a party manager , that key immigration patriots Jeff Sessions , Kris Kobach and Steve King were stabbed in the back in their primaries by the GOP Establishment .
But there are bright spots .
The American political system is astonishingly fertile .
Three new unorthodox Republicans have won primaries despite intense MSM hostility and the usual wimpishness from “ respectable ” Republicans .
• Marjorie Taylor Greene easily won her Georgia House primary and will certainly be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Democrat challenging controversial GOP congressional candidate in Georgia quits race , by Ally Mutnick , Politico , September 11 , 2020 ] .
• Laura Loomer defeated tech censorship and the MSM to win her Florida House primary ( in President Trump ’ s district ! )
.
• Lauren Witzke won the Delaware Senate primary advocating an immigration moratorium—arguably the first time VDARE.com ’ s favorite policy prescription has made it into a general election .
All three women connected with the GOP base in a way no Establishment candidate could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but Loomer and Witzke face well-funded Democratic incumbents .
Still , all three demonstrate how America First congressional and Senate candidates can win primaries .
They ignored “ respect ” from the MSM and remembered the patriot base .
Witzke specifically shows the immigration moratorium issue works .
You would think Stupid Party Strategists would have learned that in 2016 .
But , alas , expecting them to change is a triumph of hope over experience .
The MSM is again giddy that 2020 might turn Georgia blue—that Democrats will win the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take its two Senate seats .
Both Senate races test the viability of Trumpism .
Sen. David Perdue , who generally supports reducing immigration and co-sponsored the RAISE Act , is fighting to defend his seat from a Leftist challenger , Jon Ossoff .
With a career B from Numbers USA , Perdue has disappointed immigration patriots by supporting guest workers and opposing Trump ’ s immigration moratorium .
But he is still one of the best Republican senators on immigration .
In the special election , two Republicans are trying to out-Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the conservative upstart .
A career A from NumbersUSA , this loyal Trump ally co-sponsored legislation to tackle tech censorship and has attacked his Republican opponent , Kelly Loeffler , for supporting Black Lives Matter .
But Establishment pick Loeffler has moved dramatically to the Right on immigration and tech censorship [ Loeffler charts path to the right in Georgia Senate race , by Ben Nadler , Associated Press , October 24 , 2020 ] .
She has even criticized BLM [ Sen. Kelly Loeffler continues to rip Black Lives Matter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , July 10 , 2020 ] .
While Collins ’ immigration record is clearly better , either one would be superior to the average Senate Republican—as long as Trump stays in office .
Right now , the RealClearPolitics average has .
[ Election 2020 - Georgia Senate - Perdue vs. Ossoff , RCP , November 1 , 2020 ] In the special election , Collins and Loeffler are tied , while their black Democratic opponent , Raphael Warnock , doesn ’ t have enough support to win without a runoff .
Republicans need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blue Georgia would be catastrophic for the GOP and immigration patriots .
The Good News Is The Bad News Is Good !
The Worst GOP Senators on Immigration Might Lose Four of the worst GOP Senate immigration enthusiasts in danger : Graham , of course , is the Stupid Party ’ s biggest Amnesty booster .
Defeat would be an appropriate reward for his treachery to the Historic American Nation .
Graham and Tillis are polling worse than Trump .
Collins is polling better in blue Maine , but her re-election prospects look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Gardner ’ s polling is roughly equal to Trump ’ s i Colorado , but his re-election prospects are the grimmest of all .
Nothing would tell the GOP that immigration patriotism is the path forward than for Trump to win and these three to lose .
Problem is , the Democrats would then take the Senate and stifle Trump ’ s patriot agenda—or worse , enact Biden ’ s anti-American platform if he wins .
Let ’ s look on the bright side : maybe they ’ ll win , keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and support the Trump immigration control agenda .
In my view , one Republican that immigration patriots should hope loses : John James of Michigan .
This GOP Senate challenger to Democrat incumbent Gary Peters is guaranteed to be another Tim Scott .
Like Scott , he is black and would push the GOP to embrace multiculturalism and pandering to minorities , while giving up on the party ’ s white base .
James also can ’ t be trusted on immigration [ The one Republican Senate candidate willing to call out Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , May 9 , 2020 ] .
James is more charismatic than Scott .
In the eyes of GOP hacks , a Senate win in a Rust Belt state would give him enough stature for a presidential campaign .
They would eagerly conclude James and other subversive tokens are the party ’ s future .
My view : The future lies with young lawmakers who support Trump ’ s 2016 platform .
Speaking of 2016 , the experts are again predicting Trump will lose—just as they did four years ago .
I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Take Joe Biden at his word. If he defeats Donald Trump on Tuesday, he will erase or reverse every one of Trump’s immigration achievements and ensure that another nationalist a.k.a. American patriot can never win the White House. Trump at the least won’t do that, and there’s always hope he will do more. But Trump and Biden aren’t the only ones on the ballot Tuesday. The Senate hangs in the balance and reliably red states could turn blue. If Trump and the feckless GOP lose, this great nation’s final days might be upon us.
The most pressing points for immigration patriots:
The presidential race is a referendum on immigration patriotism
Incredibly, the Presidential candidates have mostly ignored the issue that elected Trump in 2016. It wasn’t brought up at all in the first presidential debate or the vice presidential debate. It was only a minor topic in the second Biden-Trump rumble [Immigration was a dominant issue in the 2016 election, but not this time, by Hannah Miao, CNBC, October 13, 2020].
Despite that, the election is a referendum on Trump’s (modestly restrictive) immigration policies. A win will signal to GOP hacks that immigration patriotism is now acceptable and, more importantly, that it wins elections. A loss will embolden the Republicucks, neocons and donors to claim that immigration patriotism cost the party the White House, so it must capitulate and open the borders. The Main Stream Media/ Dem complex will pile on with plenty of post-mortem articles on how Trump’s “evil” nationalism and “demonization” of immigrants set back the GOP and that, as after the GOP’s 2012 defeat, the party must now support Amnesty and more legal immigration to wipe away Trump’s racist stain [RNC Completes 'Autopsy' on 2012 Loss, Calls for Inclusion Not Policy Change, by Shushannah Walshe, ABC News, March 18, 2013].
If Biden wins, he will go the Full Merkel—Amnesty, Open Borders, dramatically increased “refugee” intake, stifled immigration enforcement.
We all know Trump has not been ideal on immigration. But that shouldn’t discount the serious progress he’s made. With executive orders, he has reduced legal immigration, increased enforcement against illegal immigration, and beefed up the border with 400 miles of wall. Indeed right now, because of Covid-19 and the need to protect American workers from the resulting depression, there is a de facto immigration moratorium, although no one seems to want to talk about it.
No Year Has Seen Legal Immigration Cut Like the 2nd Half of FY 2020, by David J. Bier, Cato.org, October 13, 2020
Trump will reportedly issue several solid executive orders if he wins a second term. These include eliminating Birthright Citizenship, making harder to obtain Temporary Protected Status, increasing the standards for qualifying for citizenship, and further reducing “refugee” admissions to zero [Trump aide Stephen Miller preparing second-term immigration blitz, by Amanda Holpuch, The Guardian, October 28, 2020].
Free speech and Gun Rights
Also on the ballot are the First and Second Amendments.
Tech censorship has sharply worsened as Election day approached. Trump ads and tweets are regularly censored and news stories that harm Biden are suppressed. A Biden presidency will worsen this problem.
Both Trump and Biden want to change Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which grants social media platforms protection from publisher liabilities because they are, or are supposed to be, neutral bulletin boards anyone can use.
Trump (and some Republicans) want to revise it to protect political speech on social media yet make social media open to defamation claims. But Biden would eliminate it altogether and turn the platforms into publishers. That would effectively end free speech on social media; Twitter and Facebook would be CNN’s live feed. They sort of already are, but repealing 230 entirely would wipe away the remaining dissidents.
Additionally, Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, wants the state to punish tech platforms if they tolerate “hate speech”—an offense unknown to U.S. law, which simply means arguments she doesn’t want to answer [Kamala Harris Wants to Ban Social Media Hate Speech If She’s Elected President, by Gabriela Barkho, Observer, May 7, 2019].
The only thing stopping state-approved tech tyranny: Donald Trump and Stupid Party congressmen and senators—who must stop being stupid.
Biden will also target the Second Amendment. He has promised to confiscate AR-15s, the semi-automatic sporting rifles that resemble, but are not “assault rifles” or “machine guns” [Gun Controllers Try to Hide Joe Biden’s Anti-gun Extremism, NRA-ILA.org September 14, 2020].
And Biden won’t stop there. He’s coming after your 9mm handgun, too.
Can Republican insurgents pull off election surprises?
It’s very bad news, and a great condemnation of Trump as a party manager, that key immigration patriots Jeff Sessions, Kris Kobach and Steve King were stabbed in the back in their primaries by the GOP Establishment.
But there are bright spots. The American political system is astonishingly fertile. Three new unorthodox Republicans have won primaries despite intense MSM hostility and the usual wimpishness from “respectable” Republicans.
Marjorie Taylor Greene easily won her Georgia House primary and will certainly be elected because her opponent has dropped out [Democrat challenging controversial GOP congressional candidate in Georgia quits race, by Ally Mutnick, Politico, September 11, 2020].
Laura Loomer defeated tech censorship and the MSM to win her Florida House primary (in President Trump’s district!).
Lauren Witzke won the Delaware Senate primary advocating an immigration moratorium—arguably the first time VDARE.com’s favorite policy prescription has made it into a general election.
All three women connected with the GOP base in a way no Establishment candidate could.
Greene will of course enter Congress, but Loomer and Witzke face well-funded Democratic incumbents. Still, all three demonstrate how America First congressional and Senate candidates can win primaries. They ignored “respect” from the MSM and remembered the patriot base.
Witzke specifically shows the immigration moratorium issue works. You would think Stupid Party Strategists would have learned that in 2016. But, alas, expecting them to change is a triumph of hope over experience.
The Georgia Senate races
The MSM is again giddy that 2020 might turn Georgia blue—that Democrats will win the presidential contest in the Peach State and take its two Senate seats.
Both Senate races test the viability of Trumpism. Sen. David Perdue, who generally supports reducing immigration and co-sponsored the RAISE Act, is fighting to defend his seat from a Leftist challenger, Jon Ossoff. With a career B from Numbers USA, Perdue has disappointed immigration patriots by supporting guest workers and opposing Trump’s immigration moratorium. But he is still one of the best Republican senators on immigration.
In the special election, two Republicans are trying to out-Trump each other. Doug Collins portrays himself as the conservative upstart. A career A from NumbersUSA, this loyal Trump ally co-sponsored legislation to tackle tech censorship and has attacked his Republican opponent, Kelly Loeffler, for supporting Black Lives Matter.
But Establishment pick Loeffler has moved dramatically to the Right on immigration and tech censorship [Loeffler charts path to the right in Georgia Senate race, by Ben Nadler, Associated Press, October 24, 2020]. She has even criticized BLM [Sen. Kelly Loeffler continues to rip Black Lives Matter, by Des Bieler, Washington Post, July 10, 2020].
While Collins’ immigration record is clearly better, either one would be superior to the average Senate Republican—as long as Trump stays in office.
Right now, the RealClearPolitics average has Perdue slightly ahead .[Election 2020 - Georgia Senate - Perdue vs. Ossoff, RCP, November 1, 2020]. In the special election, Collins and Loeffler are tied, while their black Democratic opponent, Raphael Warnock, doesn’t have enough support to win without a runoff. Republicans need both seats, Trump regardless. A blue Georgia would be catastrophic for the GOP and immigration patriots.
The Good News Is The Bad News Is Good! The Worst GOP Senators on Immigration Might Lose
Four of the worst GOP Senate immigration enthusiasts in danger:
Graham, of course, is the Stupid Party’s biggest Amnesty booster. Defeat would be an appropriate reward for his treachery to the Historic American Nation. Graham and Tillis are polling worse than Trump. Collins is polling better in blue Maine, but her re-election prospects look worse than her compatriots in the Carolinas.
Gardner’s polling is roughly equal to Trump’s in Colorado, but his re-election prospects are the grimmest of all.
Nothing would tell the GOP that immigration patriotism is the path forward than for Trump to win and these three to lose.
Problem is, the Democrats would then take the Senate and stifle Trump’s patriot agenda—or worse, enact Biden’s anti-American platform if he wins.
Let’s look on the bright side: maybe they’ll win, keep the Senate, then get the message and support the Trump immigration control agenda.
Michigan’s GOP Senate nominee John James—Another Tim Scott?
In my view, one Republican that immigration patriots should hope loses: John James of Michigan. This GOP Senate challenger to Democrat incumbent Gary Peters is guaranteed to be another Tim Scott. Like Scott, he is black and would push the GOP to embrace multiculturalism and pandering to minorities, while giving up on the party’s white base. James also can’t be trusted on immigration [The one Republican Senate candidate willing to call out Donald Trump, by Alex Isenstadt, Politico, May 9, 2020].
James is more charismatic than Scott. In the eyes of GOP hacks, a Senate win in a Rust Belt state would give him enough stature for a presidential campaign. They would eagerly conclude James and other subversive tokens are the party’s future.
My view: The future lies with young lawmakers who support Trump’s 2016 platform.
Speaking of 2016, the experts are again predicting Trump will lose—just as they did four years ago. I believe they suffer the tragic flaw of hubris.
Tuesday’s election could determine our nation’s future. And it’s not over yet.

Analysis by John Harwood

(CNN)This week, America decides whether the past can hold off the future one more time.
It happened four years ago when Donald Trump scored an Electoral College victory with his turn-back-the-clock campaign to Make America Great Again. He’ll have trouble pulling it off again.
That’s partly because the pace of demographic change keeps shrinking the America Trump evokes in the rear-view mirror.
More than that, his presidency has exposed the inadequacy of yesterday’s prescriptions for the challenges America now faces.
Anxiety about change played a central role in putting Trump in the White House. As the first Black president, Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama embodied the population shifts that the Census Bureau says will turn Whites into a minority of the American population within a quarter-century.

$5M BOND HANDED TO 3 MEN CHARGED WITH MURDER, DDTOnline.com, October 30, 2020
The three men charged with capital murder for the shooting death of Kenneth Mason have each been handed $5 million bonds this week.
Eighteen-year-old Donnell Corbin and 20-year-old Devonte Jones, both of Greenville, and 21-year-old Fredrick Pearson Jr., of Indianola, were handed a $5 million bond each Wednesday. The three men were arrested Monday when several deputies with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department were canvassing Tampa Drive through a traffic stop Monday afternoon while following leads on the death of Mason, who was 52. Corbin, Jones and Pearson were found in the maroon Chevy Trailblazer that Mason had been driving. After being arrested, they were all taken into custody to be questioned, Sheriff’s Deputy Billy Barber said. All three men remain in custody at the Washington County Correctional Facility. Shortly after noon Wednesday, Oct. 21, the sheriff’s office received a call from someone reporting a white male, later identified as Mason, who was found unresponsive on the ground in the 200 block of Blaylock Road in the Winterville area. Mason appeared to have received multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was sent to Jackson for an autopsy, where it was confirmed he died from the gunshots. The Chevy Trailblazer Mason was driving, as well as other personal items, was also missing from the scene, which led officials to believe it was a homicide and robbery, according to Barber. Mason was the co-founder of the New York-based nonprofit Stop Abuse Campaign that seeks to help prevent child sexual abuse and neglect. A Mississippi native, Mason moved back to Greenville from New York in March after the coronavirus pandemic began. This is not the first time Pearson has been charged with murder. In 2017, Pearson, then 17, along with three other men, was charged with murder in the death of Greenville resident Lorenzo Edwards. His bond was set at $1 million at the time, but it is not clear if Pearson has been to court for that case.

In a review of Master of Deception: The Wartime Adventures of Peter Fleming by Alan Ogden, D.J. Taylor writes in The New Criterion:

(“He is slow and tends to let birds pass before him before he fires. He looks every inch the townsman in his rusty tweeds, handling his gun a trifle gawkishly.”)
Fleming loved wildlife and loved killing it. When his friend King George VI died in 1952, Fleming wrote in his diary, ” “I think he was a very good, but probably not a great, shot.”
Subsequently, he trained a team of guerrilla fighters in Kent with the aim of delaying a possible post-invasion Nazi advance. A visiting dignitary described the hollowed-out badger’s sett beneath the forest floor that made do as an operational base as “pure Boy’s Own Paper stuff.”
Fleming played a major role in setting up Operation Gladio–style saboteur cells in the English countryside in case of German invasion.
There were later missions to mainland Greece, Crete, Cairo, India, Burma, and China. While always happy to risk his neck at moments of crisis—he was lucky to escape when the ship in which he was retreating from Greece suffered a direct hit—Fleming made a speciality of intelligence work, specifically deception: the burned-out jeep with the bundle of forged plans in the front seat designed to frustrate the Japanese advance; the carefully abandoned haversack full of misleading information; the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force member in the Allied Commander Lord Mountbatten’s HQ in Ceylon instructed to write letters about spurious troop movements to a non-existent boyfriend in the hope that they would be steamed open by enemy agents.

It’s interesting how Beverly Hills, which went 2 to 1 for Hillary in 2016, is a rare outpost on the West Coast of freedom of assembly for Trump supporters, with thousands rallying there each Saturday. I’m guessing it’s because the well-funded BHPD doesn’t want to let Antifa attack peaceful marchers in Beverly Hills. For example, today some anti-Trump protesters attacked the big Trump rally on Rodeo Drive, but the Beverly Hills cops quickly broke it up and sent the leftists back to their agreed-upon park.
You hear a lot about how Antifa is supposedly rich and Jewish, but in the richest Jewish town in the world, the city has been doing a decent job of maintaining rule of law and freedom of expression.

"Basically The Plot Of The Purge"—Leftists Hating On Stephen Miller (And VDARE.com) and GUARDIAN Breathlessly Reports Stephen Miller's Planned "Second-term Immigration Blitz"—It's What Americans Voted For In The FIRST Term
NBC has an interview with Stephen Miller, conducted over the phone by Sahil Kapur, a Punjabi-American born in Texas.
Note the quotation marks in the subtitle:
Trump adviser Stephen Miller reveals aggressive second-term immigration agenda The immigration hardliner says the president would fight to limit asylum, target "sanctuary cities," expand the "travel ban" and cut work visas. by Sahil Kapur, October 30, 2020
As I've said before, these are things that should, ideally, have happened in the first term, and pundits are unsure if there will be a second term, but it sounds good:
In a 30-minute phone interview Thursday with NBC News, Miller outlined four major priorities: limiting asylum grants, punishing and outlawing "sanctuary cities," expanding the so-called travel ban with tougher screening for visa applicants and slapping new limits on work visas. The objective, he said, is "raising and enhancing the standard for entry" to the United States. Some of the plans would require legislation. Others could be achieved through executive action, which the Trump administration has relied on heavily in the absence of a major immigration bill. "In many cases, fixing these problems and restoring some semblance of sanity to our immigration programs does involve regulatory reform," Miller said. "Congress has delegated a lot of authority. ... And that underscores the depth of the choice facing the American people." Miller, who serves in a dual role as an adviser in the White House and to Trump's re-election campaign, stressed that he was speaking about second-term priorities only in his capacity as campaign adviser. Immigration has been overshadowed by surging coronavirus case numbers and an economy shattered by a nearly yearlong pandemic, but it was central to Trump's rise to power in the Republican Party, and Miller has been a driving force for the administration's often controversial policies to crack down on illegal migration and erect hurdles for aspiring legal immigrants. Miller has spearheaded an immigration policy that critics describe as cruel, racist and antithetical to American values as a nation of immigrants. He scoffs at those claims, insisting that his only priority is to protect the safety and wages of Americans. And he said he intends to stay on to see the agenda through in a second term if Trump is re-elected. An immigration freeze In the near term, Miller wouldn't commit to lifting the freeze on new green cards and visas that's set to expire at the end of the year, saying it would be "entirely contingent" on governmental analysis that factors in the state of the job market. Asked whether he would support reinstating the controversial "zero tolerance" policy that led to families' being separated, Miller said the Trump administration is "100 percent committed to a policy of family unity," but he described the policy as one that would keep families together in immigration detention by changing what is known as the Flores settlement agreement. Over the past year, the administration has sought to amend the Flores agreement, which says children can't be held over 20 days in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention. If it succeeds, immigrant families could be detained indefinitely as they await their day in immigration court. Keep asylum down On Trump's watch, asylum grants have plummeted. Miller wants to keep it that way. He said a second-term Trump administration would seek to expand "burden-sharing" deals with Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that cut off pathways to the U.S. for asylum-seekers. "The president would like to expand that to include the rest of the world," Miller said. "And so if you create safe third partners in other continents and other countries and regions, then you have the ability to share the burden of asylum-seekers on a global basis."[More]
As I said, this is stuff that should have been done earlier, but there have been genuine successes. As for expanding the "asylum seeker" thing to the rest of the world reminds me of my 2001 plan to send all asylum seekers to non-US places where they wouldn't be persecuted. Mexico, for example, must be suffering a shortage of workers.

vdare--2020-11-02--Patrick J. Buchanan: Can a Disintegrating America Come Together?

On the last days of the 2020 campaign , President Donald Trump was holding four and five rallies a day in battleground states , drawing thousands upon thousands of loyalists to every one .

This writer can not recall a president and campaign that brought out so many and such massive crowds of admirers in its closing days .

They are people who belong in a `` basket of deplorables , '' sneered Hillary Clinton : `` racist , sexist , homophobic , xenophobic , Islamaphobic '' bigots , and a sub-species of humanity that is `` irredeemable . ''

And those issues raise questions : No matter who wins , can this nation come together again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real possibility—what form will America take as it disintegrates ?
Even as voters were mailing in ballots in the millions , stores in our great cities were being boarded up against rioters , looters and arsonists .

Earlier by Patrick J. Buchanan: A Most Consequential Presidency
On the last days of the 2020 campaign, President Donald Trump was holding four and five rallies a day in battleground states, drawing thousands upon thousands of loyalists to every one.
Waiting for hours, sometimes in the cold, to cheer their champion on, these rallygoers love Trump as few presidents have been loved. This writer cannot recall a president and campaign that brought out so many and such massive crowds of admirers in its closing days.
And who are these cheering, chanting loyalists who have brought their children out with them to see and remember "the great Trump"—in the eyes of our dispossessed elites?
They are people who belong in a "basket of deplorables," sneered Hillary Clinton: "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic" bigots, and a sub-species of humanity that is "irredeemable."
Today's election is an us-versus-them choice unlike any other, for the issues in dispute are broader and deeper than ever before.
And those issues raise questions: No matter who wins, can this nation come together again? And if it cannot—a real possibility—what form will America take as it disintegrates?
Even as voters were mailing in ballots in the millions, stores in our great cities were being boarded up against rioters, looters and arsonists.
Suburban residents, fearful that the urban mobs may one day be coming for them, were stockpiling guns and ammunition.
How divided are we?
The New York Times "Sunday Review" devoted its entire section to Donald Trump, as seen from the eyes of its columnists. On the cover page of the Review ran the headline, "All 15 of our columnists explain what the past four years have cost America, and what's at stake in this election."
Each of the 15 trashed Trump from his or her perspective.
Since World War II, America has held elections where the country seemed at sword's point. Not all were like 1960, where scholar Arthur Schlesinger Jr., felt compelled to write the book, Kennedy or Nixon: Does It Make Any Difference?
Schlesinger felt he had to explain that despite the similarity of the candidates, both in their 40s, it made a difference who was elected.
Yet, even after the most divisive elections of the post-war era—1952 and 1968—the country pulled back together. President Dwight Eisenhower, from 1952 to 1956, and Richard Nixon, from 1968 to 1972, restored unity to the nation during their first terms by ending the Asian wars into which their predecessors had taken the nation.
New leadership ended the wars and brought the United States together.
The difference today?
Americans are not divided over war. One of Trump's successes has been to keep us out of new wars, even if he has not yet extracted us from the wars he inherited.
Today, we are divided over ideology, morality, culture, race and history. We are divided over whether America is the great nation we were raised to revere and love or a nation born in great sins and crimes—such as the near annihilation of indigenous peoples and their cultures and the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Black peoples from Africa.
Are we the nation of 1776 and 1789, or the nation of 1619, whose institutions are still infected with the "systemic racism" of our birth?
In this divided country, at times, Americans seem to detest each other.
Indeed, if the United States did not exist as one nation, would this diverse people ever agree to form a compact to come together, or would we seek to retain our separate identities?
In tearing down the statues of explorers such as Christopher Columbus or the Founding Fathers and their successor presidents, from Andrew Jackson to Abraham Lincoln to Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the contempt for the country these men helped to bring into being, and for what this country stands for today, is manifest.
A significant slice of America's young believes that the nation to which they belong was detestable from its birth, and that the Western civilization from which it sprang is not worth saving.
In his farewell address, President Ronald Reagan spoke of the America where he was raised and which he cherished:
"The hope of human freedom—the quest for it, the achievement of it—is the American saga. And I've often recalled one group of early settlers making a treacherous crossing of the Atlantic on a small ship when their leader, a minister, noted that perhaps their venture would fail and they would become a byword, a footnote to history. But perhaps, too, with God's help, they might also found a new world, a city upon a hill, a light unto the nations."
How many Americans still believe what Reagan believed? How many yet see America as "a city upon a hill, a light unto the nations"?

The Economist has of course come out strong for Joe Biden. Fair enough: it's their right to have an opinion, and I wasn't surprised by it.
I was shocked, though, to see them stoop to retailing the threadbare, endlessly-refuted "fine people" hoax. That's a new low for what was once the home of careful journalism.
The entire sentence, from page 22 column 1 of the issue dated October 31:
This has allowed him [i.e. Trump] to trample the norms of politics and good government in any number of ways, from a culpable lack of response to the devastation wrought on Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria to describing protests against neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, as having “very fine people on both sides” to seeing people tear-gassed to enable a photo opportunity.
For shame!
