Earlier: Denmark Produces Immigration Patriot Leftist (!) Female (!!) Prime Minister. What Can U.S. Learn?

Being mugged in broad daylight is something you must worry about in “diverse” areas of U.S. cities, “diverse” being Leftist code for massively non-white. In December last year, a gun-wielding young black man mugged and robbed an elderly white woman at 11.20 a.m. “in one of the city’s most upscale neighborhoods,” as a Fox News anchor called Chicago’s Lakeview. He snatched her purse before driving off [Brazen daylight robbery of elderly Chicago woman at gunpoint caught on camera, by Pilar Arias, December 15, 2022]. However, being robbed in the middle of the day is not something you expect to worry about in Northern Finland. Or at least it wasn’t until the Ruling Class began importing “refugees” from Africa and the Middle East.

Oulu, population 200,000 and the largest city in northern Finland, has undergone quite a process of enrichment over the last 20 years.

As I’ve reported before, in 2005—shortly after the city first accepted “refugees”—these “asylum-seeking” young men cut off a woman’s clitoris with a pair of scissors and jammed them into her vagina. Through the next few years, Middle Eastern “refugees” raped and gang-raped local women in city-center parks. In 2018, the city made international headlines when news emerged that Muslim grooming gangs—Middle Eastern “refugees,” again—groomed and raped local girls aged between 10 and 14, one of whom had committed suicide.

Earlier: Abbott Goes There: Declares Invasion At Border Under U.S., Texas Constitution and States Are Leading The Way Against The Biden Regime Zerg Rush

Texas appears to be ready to fight Traitor Joe Biden’s Great Replacement invasion. Lone Star Republican lawmakers have drafted legislation that would create the state’s own border patrol and make illegally re-entering into the country a felony. Also, Florida is pursuing its own hard-nosed legislative package. President Biden is pretending to present a tougher stance on immigration, but border state Republicans know he can’t be trusted. It’s up to the states to do something about the invasion that Biden has openly supported.

This, of course, isn’t the first time a state has taken immigration law enforcement in its own hands. Arizona famously did so with SB 1070 back in 2010. The measure allowed state and local police to check the immigration status of motorists that they suspected of being illegals. It made it a misdemeanor for “migrants” not to carry required documents and criminalized aiding illegal aliens in defying the law—which is already a federal crime, by the way. The U.S. Supreme Court later neutered the law, and more restrictions were placed on local police who tried to help enforce immigration law.

That was then; this is now. SCOTUS is less liberal, and what was a crisis then is now an invasion, aided and abetted by the Biden Regime. The time is ripe for states to take the law into their own hands.

Texas’ proposal to enforce immigration law is more audacious than Arizona’s. One Texas House bill

When Peter Brimelow asked me to write about the Politically Correct drive to drop the term “illegal alien” in favor “undocumented immigrant” (increasingly, “migrant”) to describe someone who enters the country illegally, I hesitated. I wondered whether anyone doesn’t know that the Treason Lobby has changed the term to sell Amnesty to the American public. But then, there are still some people who don’t realize the Great Replacement is real.

When I began my career with the Border Patrol, I was a somewhat naïve college-educated recruit. The agency was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Officially, the Border Patrol is 50 percent Hispanic, a self-reported number. My guess: It’s between 70 percent to 80 percent Hispanic. So, when my Mexican-American law instructor at the Border Patrol Academy repeatedly referred to illegal aliens as “wets,” I was surprised. Isn’t that “racist?” Apparently not, virtually everyone who worked the border called them wets, including the wets! “Soy un mojado” (Spanish for “wet”), illegals would say when I caught them.

Another term heard inside the Border Patrol, but never outside it: “Tonk.” That’s the sound a black Maglite makes, I learned, when smashed on an illegal’s head in the quiet, still night. An older agent told me to say it’s an old acronym for “Temporarily Out of Native Kountry” if an outsider overheard the term.

(Personally, I think its roots may be from something else. The Texas Rangers used the Amerindian tribe known as the Tonkawa as scouts. Reportedly, the Rangers didn’t think much of them as fighters and were fairly disparaging towards them. At one time, if you believe the book Texas Ranger: The Epic Story Of Frank Hamer. The Man Who Killed Bonnie And Clyde , the Texas Rangers patrolled the border with the United States Border Patrol and the Rangers were not shy about shooting first and asking questions later.  I have a feeling the Border Patrol may have picked up the term from the Rangers and made it their own)

Sometime after I landed in the field, higher-ups ordered agents in California and Arizona to stop using “illegal alien” and instead use “undocumented alien,” or UDAs on federal immigration forms. Texas still called them illegal aliens.

Of course, the shift in terminology is a Treason Lobby tactic to humanize illegals, just as dehumanizing our wartime enemies is a frequent tactic of government propagandists.

The big talking point of the week was the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, with a couple of hundred billion in assets evaporating overnight and blowing away on the morning wind.

I ought really to be more interested in this than I actually am. I only became a rootless bohemian 22 years ago. Prior to that I was a middle-class shlub, with a salaried job at a respectable firm—an investment bank, in fact.

I wasn’t a hot-shot trader, more’s the pity. I was a back-office worker bee, a cube jockey designing and writing software for the bank’s Credit and Risk Management Department.

To this elderly Credit and Risk Management geek, the SVB collapse looks like a serious failure of Risk Management. It wouldn’t have happened if I’d been cutting their code.

There’s some knotty stuff in Risk Management computing—check out the Black-Scholes model for option pricing, if you’re confident with your calculus.

That doesn’t seem to have been in play with SVB, though. What happened here was just basic banking.

Basic banking: A bank is a safe place to stash your money; but a bank doesn’t just take your money in tens and twenties and lock it up in a vault, it uses your money. It spends your money to buy stuff.

One variety of stuff banks particularly like to buy is bonds. The First Law of bond trading:

Earlier (2022): Happy St. Patrick’s Day From VDARE.com—Irish-Americans Are Part Of America’s White Majority

It’s St. Patrick’s Day and in the Washington Post, an immigrant enthusiast woman named Carly Goodman [Tweet her], author of Dreamland: America’s Immigration Lottery in an Age of Restrictionv has an op-ed called St Patrick’s Day reminds us of the importance of welcoming immigrants | The Irish have been among the most powerful advocates for immigration [March 17, 2023].

This is full of standard stuff: claiming the 1924 restriction was racist, although advantaging the Irish because they could “they could lay a claim to ‘whiteness.’” The 1965 Immigration Act was supposedly anti-racist, although in 1968, the Irish-American Ancient Order of Hibernians was complaining that it disadvantaged them, by ending the quota system and privileging immigrants with an American family member—which is what we now know as “chain migration.”

Various Irish-American pols, some but not all named Kennedy, tried to game the immigration system in a pro-Irish way. That’s how we got Ted Kennedy’s infamous “Diversity Lottery.”

But the Irish are white—and that’s “unsavory.”

The argument that “issuing more visas to the Irish would help create immigrant ‘diversity’” according to Goodman ”contained an unspoken, unsavory element—it resonated in part because Irish immigrants were White, and many criticized the episode as being a “veiled’ move away from ’current immigration source regions,’ meaning Asia and Latin America, as future INS commissioner Doris Meissner would write in an op-ed at the end of 1990.”

Goodman’s cheerful message: Irish-American political logrolling in favor of visas for Irish immigrants has in the past (John F. and Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 Immigration Act and Teddy’s “Diversity Lottery”) and will continue in the present to result in lots more non-white immigration.

My kid learned to set a leprechaun trap(?) at school. St Patrick’s Day! Here I look back at how Irish immigrants & Irish Americans used past parades to argue against immigration restrictions. The focus was on the Irish — but the outcomes more expansive. https://t.co/3rdPQzGu0R

She ends her article by saying “Sympathy for the Irish once opened up meaningful access to others around the world to come to the United States. Perhaps it can again.”

The problem for Irish-Americans is that they are white—really white, not just laying a claim to whiteness—and mass non-white immigration is displacing them.

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, for example, took the Congressional seat of nine-term Irish-American Congressman Joe Crowley, whose mother came from County Armagh, whose father was an NYPD detective, and whose uncle Walter was a New York City councilman.

Quote from Crowley after losing to AOC: "I can’t help that I was born white."

The Irish are a success story in America, and while not, historically, an unmixed good, they are, as I said last year, now part of America’s white majority, and would be foolish to support their own displacement.
