I brought this up earlier in the week while doing Steven Gardner’s podcast, and in a little more than a day, it garnered over 100,000 views on YouTube.
You can see the episode here, and the topic of this column comes up just before the 30-minute mark.
The gist of it is my explanation that the border invasion is a very telltale sign that Barack Obama is the guy running America and not Biden, because if the unprincipled hack politician Biden was actually running his own administration, he would have rolled back the open-border policies that made this mess in the first place weeks or months ago so as to prevent massive political damage to his reelection prospects.
This is an issue that is 80-20 or worse against the Democrats now. And Biden will be badly hurt by it. The only way the current reality makes sense is if whoever is making the calls in this administration really doesn’t care about his prospects for reelection.
But why wouldn’t that person want to see Biden reelected? Democrats hate the thought of losing power, don’t they?
Absolutely. But the thing about Obama that hit me pretty hard while I was doing the research for Racism, Revenge and Ruin, my bestselling book about his effect on this country (it actually sold out at Amazon and Barnes & Noble this week thanks to the exposure the Tucker Carlson interview brought it, but there are copies available and at a discount at Calamo Press’ website), is how hard-core ideological and long-term-oriented he was and is.
Obamacare, for example, wasn’t designed to fix health insurance in America. It was designed to destroy private-sector health care — not immediately, but over time. And look around: the government gobbles up an ever larger share of the health market all the time. Inexorably, it seems, because today’s Republican Party lacks the stones to roll back the key features of what Obama did.
His effect on the culture? All incremental, but like a cascade. When Obama got elected, the big cultural debate was about civil unions for gay couples. Now, it’s about trans-ing kids and normalizing pedophilia. All along the way, there were little steps, mostly imperceptible at first, that got the water flowing through the canyon.
And now it’s the border — but more specifically, it’s that your government is doing everything it can to assimilate those migrant invaders, using programs Obama set in motion when he was president and that are now being weaponized against taxpayers and citizens.
Those migrants come across our border and they’re processed and given an asylum hearing years and years down the road, and then they’re brought somewhere and dropped off with a phone and a check card.
You say yes, but they don’t speak the language, they know nothing about American civics, they don’t know how our economy and culture work, they don’t know the laws, they don’t have a driver’s license or a job or a place to live, and so on.
All of that is true. None of it matters.
What matters is that phone and that check card.
They’re being assimilated alright — they’ve already been put on the welfare rolls with that phone and that check card.
Those immigrants of old got off the boat at Ellis Island and they were checked for disease, vetted to an extent for criminal or radical backgrounds, and then they were cut loose to make their own way in the world. There were nonprofits attempting to cater to them, particularly churches, and there was a burgeoning economy desperate for labor and particularly marketable skills.
And that burgeoning economy was what attracted them. Many were half-assimilated the minute they got here because they’d bought into the idea that America was the land of opportunity, that a man could change his stars here with a little pluck, a bit of luck, and a whole lot of hard work.
Yes, that’s still true of some of the “newcomers,” as the Biden administration is now calling them in a creepy unintentional reference to the 1988 cult classic Alien Nation, but more and more it’s something else.
More and more it’s this:

That guy doesn’t speak a word of English, from the looks of it, but his attitude is virtually indistinguishable from the welfare underclass that has been here for generations.
And that kid, the mino de oro, will grow up as part of that welfare underclass. And will vote as the welfare underclass votes.
Like it or not, that’s assimilation. That next generation, who will be voters in 15 to 20 years, will be fully assimilated into the American welfare underclass, with all of the behavioral pathologies, victimization, and demoralization attendant in that station.
And it’s the reason the border invasion continues, regardless of what effect it’s having on Biden’s reelection prospects.
