They Are Not Just “Here For a Better Life”
They never get tired of parroting that old line about illegal immigration – “They just want a better life! Who are we to reject them?”
That sentiment needs to be rejected immediately. Some interesting statistics: in 1970 the white population in the United States was 88% and immigrants receiving welfare were 6%. In 2020 whites were 62% of the population and 59% of immigrants were receiving welfare, and now, those numbers are 56% and 61%, respectively. This tells us, concretely, that the line “They just want a better life” is a complete and total lie. It might have been true in the early part of the 20th century, when immigration was mostly from Europe, and people like the Irish and Italians actually came here and worked hard. They did not demand free stuff, and were not given any, like today’s immigrants are. These stats prove the left wants them to milk the system, at cost to the taxpayer. They put the illegal above the citizen, because that is who they will depend upon for votes in the future (and to a degree, the present, as many blue cities are already beginning the slippery slope of allowing them to vote in local elections).
The Bleak Picture of Illegal Immigration
The endgame for illegal immigration depicts a very bleak picture for the United States. The quiet part Democrats never say out loud is that they want open borders. They may act like they are for border security, that they don’t want the country overrun, or that they are not willing to turn this place into a third world country to achieve power. But aside from John Fetterman, the Democrat party as a whole do not care about anyone but themselves. This ought to be apparent to more people, but somehow, with the help of the crooked media, corrupt lying and overpaid college professors, and school indoctrination at all levels, they convince enough people to vote for this deeply disgusting America-hating party. Anyone who studies history could easily discover where leftist policies lead, but not enough people do that, and their leaders do not want their voters to have that knowledge. (Only after it’s too late.)

Another Establishment Disappointment
I’m about at the end of my rope when it comes to South Carolina politics. At least for now. Yesterday’s bought and paid for election of DEI Darline Graham over tried-and-true conservative Ralph Norman proves we have a long way to go. From the start, the odds were stacked against Norman, as they always are in this state when it comes to conservative candidates. Tons of money poured in form her from the usual corrupt PACs, and she was able to outspend him 4 to 1. She also had the terrible Trump endorsement, which he gets wrong every single time in this state. So many people (in this case, 193,396) will just do what they are told rather than thinking for themselves.
When will this state actually elect some conservative leadership? I don’t think I’m asking for much. Last night was a great opportunity to have our first conservative Senator in many years. And now that’s not going to happen. We do have some conservative leadership in the state house, but their agenda is regularly railroaded because establishment fake Republicans would rather unite with Democrats than work with the Freedom Caucus. This explains why this state only turns out 40% conservative legislation.
Ralph Norman is the Conservative Choice - Vote Tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the runoff election between proven conservative Ralph Norman and unqualified Darline Graham, who seems to believe she has a right to the seat because she is the sister of Lindsey Graham. This seems like a no brainer, but there are far too many good ‘ol boys down here who were loyal to Lindsey that will likely vote for Darline based on that alone, or for the fact that President Trump endorsed her, continuing his tradition of endorsing the least conservative candidates in the state of South Carolina. Those two items will likely make this race a close one, so don’t forget to vote, and bring as many people with you as you can.
