Dear friends,
It seems to me, people migrating to the US are all for Biden’s open borders, in other words, they’re democrats. Until they get here, then they’ll be all for closed borders, capitalism and freedom. In other words, they’ll become republicans. Because of human nature. When it’s in our interests for the US and Europe to have open borders, we’re totally in on open borders. Once we’re here however, and see the damage being done to our new homes, we demand the border closed. Immigrants want a better life. They don’t want to enter Venezuela as Hugo is taking power. They know better. That’s what they’re fleeing. Democrats may get a vote or two, and harvest mail in votes from those who don’t vote themselves… but pooping in your food to make your political foe sick, isn’t a good long term strategy.
Until someone gets here they want the doors open. After paying thousands of dollars, to be trafficked to the US or Europe, they expect a better life than the one they left. Some want welfare, to be above the law, as well as plenty of rape material. To them… Europe is inviting. Others want opportunity to get rich. The US is their primary target. Then there are those who seek the downfall of the West. Both Europe and the US are happy destinations for them. With the added benefit the elite will abet their crimes. Fortunately, the criminals and terrorists are the minority. Maybe only a few hundred thousand or so. The ones looking for opportunity though, they’ll rapidly become republicans. To protect their chance to get rich and keep the money they earned by working hard. It’s human nature.
Once someone is here they want to close the doors behind them. This isn’t an odd or out of place reaction. We also see the same behavior in the rich. Once someone gets rich the first thing they do is turn and close the door behind them. Barring others from becoming rich the way they did. Or so said Joseph Schumpeter in his book, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy. For the wealthy to close the door to wealth behind them, as well as for immigrants to want to limit immigration once they’re here… is self interest in action. The one doesn’t want competition, the other doesn’t want societal collapse, ruining their dreams. Therefore, despite the hopes of the democrats, the illegal aliens will only vote democrat once or twice at most… before they realize where their self interest is.
People migrate across the world for opportunity. A cushy bed might draw layabouts, terrorists and criminals, but riches make the go getter’s mouth water. Don’t conflate the two for a second. There are those coming to America for a better life and those coming to destroy it. The ones seeking a better life will turn on the terrorists and criminals, going after their throats, like Cujo. People are people, the more we have invested in something the more vicious we are protecting it. Those who’ve spent their entire life’s savings to get to America, to have a better life, have everything invested. Giving them skin in the game preventing American societal destruction. Putting migrants at odds with the progressive globalist faction. The faction that’s using migration to poison politics for political power.
The upshot is, all the propaganda in the world, allowing illegal aliens to vote, and wide open borders, won’t assure a democrat victory in the electoral process. Certainly not long term. Because of self interest. When it’s in our self interest to want open borders, we’re for open borders, and when it’s not, we’re not. To expect people to vote against their self interest, because they’re ignorant illegals, is a sub optimal strategy. Migrants may not speak English well, know how to read or write, but they know what despotism looks like… first hand. People fleeing tyranny don’t seek more tyranny. So, registering illegal aliens to vote and programming them to vote democrat, may be a winning short term tactic… but will fail in the long term. Because of human nature.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
