Midterm Elections, Dead Ahead!

Jack DeVine patriotpost.us 12-6-25

Get ready, American voters — NOW is the time to make sure that next November’s elections don’t unravel a year of major achievements.

That was quick. The midterm elections are just 11 months away. In effect, they will serve as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s second term, and their outcome will determine whether there is continued progress or congressional gridlock.

The following is my unsolicited advice to our president on how to maximize potential for success. That’s not to suggest that the president would accept or even welcome my input — I suspect that if he ever got wind of this column, he’d say, “Who the hell is he? And who asked him?”

Well, Mr. President, nobody asked. But I do happen to be a charter member of the faction of the U.S. electorate that put you over the top in 2024 — the moderates, both independents and GOP, who were uneasy with your bull-in-the-china-shop approach but who sensed our nation’s desperate need for high-energy, sharply focused leadership and thus decided to trust you with the keys.

We’re glad we did, and in many respects, you’ve far exceeded our expectations. At the same time, the endless hammering by Leftmedia and your political opponents is taking its toll. Moreover, there’s a distinct whiff of panic in the air — a combo of historical reality (midterms usually favor the party not in power), the Democrats’ strong performance in last month’s special elections, and the already razor-thin margin in the House of Representatives.

So maybe, along with the pricey advice from the experts, this instinctive input is worth considering. The strategy I suggest is simple enough: just stay the course where things are working, and act NOW to alter course where needed — recognizing that if you don’t take corrective action soon, your priceless opportunity will be lost for good. More specifically:

1.) Keep driving, pedal to the metal.

Ignore (as you usually do) the endless handwringing by critics about your “authoritarian” tendencies. Your bias for action, your refusal to sit back and hope that problems will solve themselves, is the single characteristic that sets you apart from your predecessor, as well as from other politicians and mere mortals. Your energy is electrifying — keep showing it day after day.

2.) Recalibrate and clarify your policy on the deportation of Illegal Immigrants.

In my view, your administration’s biggest political liability is voter uneasiness with your handling of illegal immigrants. That may seem grossly unfair, given your spectacular success in closing the border, but that’s old news. Today’s problem is how to deal with the millions of illegal migrants already in residence in our country.

Your current policy is to deport all illegal aliens, starting with the most dangerous, in compliance with governing law, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA). In the abstract, that policy is widely accepted — but in practice, it is proving extraordinarily challenging and increasingly unpopular.

The reality of today is that many Americans — both your detractors and some of your supporters — are becoming seriously uncomfortable with what appears to be unduly harsh treatment of illegal immigrants targeted for deportation.

The numbers are daunting: no one knows how many illegal aliens reside in the USA, but the combination of the Biden-era open border (12-20 million) and previous illegal entries suggests that 25 million or more are here. The legal and political challenges of deportation are even more daunting, as anecdotes of alleged mistreatment, whether accurate or exaggerated, mount daily.

A further complication is that current deportation actions effectively combine (and therefore confuse) the objectives of removing dangerous illegal immigrants (the “worst first”) while also deporting as many illegals as possible, dangerous or not, as fast as possible. At the present rate of non-voluntary deportation, by the end of your term in office, your administration will have deported perhaps 10% to 20% of the total — and along the way will have disrupted the lives of many who have been peaceful, contributing U.S. residents. That’s not a success, by any standard.

Nor is it our only alternative. I would argue that the single most important lesson we have learned regarding the threat posed to our citizens from violent illegal immigrants (gangs and individuals) is that we don’t know who is here, where they are, and who among them poses real danger.

On that basis, consider the merits of a shift in policy that places primary emphasis on that dimension. It could take the form of an immediate illegal immigrant registration process, starting with a short-term (say four months) opportunity for illegals to self-identify and register with INS, providing information on location, family, employment, etc.

Those who register would be permitted to continue to reside in the U.S., subject to a crime-free, tax-paying status. Any found to have criminal backgrounds, and any other immigrants who do not register in the prescribed period, would be subject to immediate arrest and deportation per the INA.

I believe that a policy along those lines could be enacted immediately by executive order, followed up later by congressional action, and would be widely recognized as a sensible and fair alternative to our current sure-to-fail policy.

A change along these lines would be a very big deal, a juicy opportunity for the administration’s opponents to make hay. No matter — the American public knows our immigration problem is an inherited mess, and they’ll respect your willingness to change course when needed to solve that problem.

3.) Pick fewer and better targets

Mr. President, please ignore Joe Biden. He’s gone. Even people who liked and supported Biden know that he was a disaster as president — which is why you were hired. Your job is to fix it and lead us into that brighter future you promised.

Similarly, forget retribution. Drop it. Period. I agree wholeheartedly that there is no Democrat hypocrisy more irritating than their somber warnings that we should never weaponize our justice system. Ya think?

The 91 criminal charges, the carefully selected ultra-left judges, the nine indictments, the half-billion in fines, the 34 truly fabricated felony convictions — forget them all for now. Keep that ugly history far away from your day job as our president. The worst thing you can do would be to replicate (and thus normalize) the mistreatment you received at the hands of the last administration.

Some day, perhaps in the next administration, there needs to be a thorough, apolitical assessment of Biden-era lawfare; you should be a witness, not a sponsor or active participant.

4.) On everything else, stay the course — the commonsense course.

Focus every fiber of your attention on the serious threats facing Americans, including drugs and violent crime at the top of the list. Similarly, stick with — visibly and forcefully — your well-established 80/20 commonsense positions: no men in women’s sports; no U-Turn back to green new deals; no more revolving door cashless bail; etc.

Also, don’t overreact to media pundits and polls that say the number one midterm issue will be “affordability.” Of course, kitchen-table issues are always top of voters’ minds — but I believe it is already clear to most voters that the U.S. economy is on sound footing and that Biden-era inflation is largely gone. Most economists predict that by mid-2026, ours will be doing quite well. If so, it’s unlikely that the average American voter will be keen on hiring a Democrat Congress to go back to the failed economic policies and problems still fresh in our memory.

In summary, the above four recommendations won’t guarantee more than one midterm election vote (mine). They won’t secure America’s future or even ensure the productive continuation of President Trump’s second term. But I think they will resonate with the electorate.

We can trust the voters. They get it. Given the choice, they will continue to support an administration that is making a difference in their lives rather than risk a return to the aimless drift of the last one.

 

Obama's destructive statement in October 2008 continues its 'total transformation' at a frantic pace! Our only hope is, IF President Trump and his admirable Administration can, will and must STOP it.

 

Third World Immigration and Somalia

Emmy Griffin patriotpost.us 12-6-25

As part of a broader effort to undo the damage done by Joe Biden, Donald Trump is addressing legal immigration granted to America-hating immigrants.

The horrific shooting of two National Guard members right before Thanksgiving was the final straw for Donald Trump and the American people. The attack was carried out by an Afghan immigrant who escaped from the resurgent Taliban under Joe Biden’s failed withdrawal.

Given that this act of terror came on the heels of a massive Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota, President Trump concluded that a crackdown was in order for those who have come to the U.S. but are unwilling to assimilate.

On Thanksgiving, Trump published a very long post on X in which he not only calls out Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Somalia) but also explains how he intends to fix the immigration problem.

America is dealing with not only millions of illegal aliens but also refugees. What Trump wants to do is end legal immigration from “third-world countries,” deport those who eschew our heritage and refuse to assimilate, denaturalize immigrants who disturb the peace, and deport foreign nationals who are criminals.

One may be tempted to think that Trump went too far, particularly with calling Minnesota’s governor “seriously retarded.” However, it’s the federal government’s job to step in when states fail to protect their citizens and allow themselves to be defrauded of over $1 billion.

Governor Walz is facing heavy scrutiny and even calls for a federal investigation for enabling the fraud. One group of Minnesota Department of Human Services employees posted a long letter on social media, indicting Walz and implying that he was actually running interference for those committing the fraud and silencing those blowing the whistle.

For his part, Walz only takes responsibility for the fraudsters’ arrest. The rest he blames on Trump — even though the fraud predates Trump’s second term.

The other Minnesota politician to come under fire, Somali refugee Ilhan Omar, is a prime example of the kind of mendacious stuff that happens among many Somali immigrants. Omar has long been rumored to have married her brother to skirt immigration law and remain in the U.S. She also hates American ideals and has openly stated that her loyalty is to Somalia. Omar and those like her should face denaturalization and deportation.

As for the other policy proposals Trump mentioned, what would those look like on a practical level? The first step would be singling out prospective Americans and vetting them thoroughly. This would weed out many of the troublemakers, though it wouldn’t necessarily have flagged last week’s assailant, as he worked with the CIA in Afghanistan. Ergo, there needs to be something more.

“A more rational approach,” opine the editors of National Review, “would be to end illegal immigration (which Trump has made strides toward doing) and weight the legal system much more toward selecting for merit — education levels, work skills, English proficiency, and other qualities that suggest an immigrant would assimilate and succeed here quickly.”

We want immigrants who have a decent chance at speedy assimilation and finding success so that they aren’t a burden on taxpayers. These qualifications seem to be a good place to start.

That said, how do you vet for those who lie? Well, the reality is that you can’t catch every single individual who lies his way to permanent residency or citizenship. However, there must be an easy way to deport or denaturalize non-native Americans if they display treasonous behavior or are eventually caught lying.

President Trump didn’t call out Dearborn, Michigan, but that city is another example of a community that has refused to assimilate into American culture. Instead, it’s home to thousands from countries that hate America.

We have allowed the barbarians to breach the walls, and they are destroying communities, cities, and even states. Reform is desperately needed because we have already seen the terrible fruits of indiscriminate immigration in Europe. Let’s hope President Donald Trump is serious and successful in his policy proposals; they would go a long way toward getting our country back on track.

 

This post is an absolute excellent article that must be read and studied by every American!

 

Every Illegal a Deported Illegal: Ending Illegal Immigration Is Trump’s Issue

By Arthur Schaper www.americanthinker.com

After the recent gruesome murder of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., there should be no further argument about how we need to stop not only all illegal immigration, but to reverse mass immigration as well. 

The United States of America is not a commonwealth of immigrants, but a nation of settlers and citizens. For too long, We the People have been guilt-tripped into thinking that we must become the battered women's shelter for the entire world, or that we are the only viable asylum for the world’s religious dissidents and persecuted minorities. 

American citizens are facing persecution from the very people whom our previous governments and leaders have invited en masse into our country. These lax, open borders policies are killing us, and not just the illegal entrants.  

Our government bears the respectable and essential responsibility to keep out all individuals whose cultures do not line up with our values, our standards, or laws. 

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller laid the groundwork for the ideological border wall when he pointed out that mass immigration isn't just about more people, but about the misguided policy ends up bringing in different cultures, and more importantly, cultures that do not measure up to or support or work in line with our values, customs, and traditions.

What makes the United States great is that we abandoned the continental collectivist traditions and embraced the (classical) liberal-leaning Anglo-American legal and cultural traditions.

Suffice to say, there is a reason why the Magna Carta is not only a special document, but precisely an English document. The glorious pattern of lesser nobles rising up against central authority did not originate with the French, the Spanish, most other European people groups, and certainly not from Asian or African countries, either. 

This blunt diatribe is not a call or demand to ban or remove people who don't look like “Americans” in terms of skin color or sound like us in terms of language.

In fact, all the arguments about forcing a majority white or a majority black population are missing the bigger issue. A nation is not defined by skin color but by borders, language, and culture. The cultural aspect is the most important! Why do I stress this?

Take a look at Quebec and consider the failed machinations of the current Canadian provincial government, which opened the floodgates of mass (legal) immigration from Islamic countries. About 12% of Montreal is now Islamic. Quebec's leaders were so obsessed with maintaining the French language in the province that they ignored the cultural problems that ensued because of Islamic militancy taking deeper root throughout the region.

The United States has a culture worth fighting for, starting with our precise Anglo-American political and legal traditions, coupled with our Judeo-Christian heritage, bolstered by our Revolutionary legacy.

We cannot allow rising tides of mass immigration to flood this away. Behold what’s happening in our major cities, especially New York City, where recent arrivals from third-world failed states have ushered in a crypto communist mayor in New York City, and neo-Marxists as the current mayors in Chicago and Los Angeles!

President Trump must emphasize, focus, and double down on expelling all illegal aliens from the country, no matter their age or their circumstances.

Enough is enough. United States citizens should not have to tolerate any politician stating that he just wants to deport the criminal illegals, if even that. Such a tautology is a non sequitur. If you're in the country illegally, you are a criminal! There is no mitigating this issue, and the kids can’t be used to play victim, since children of American citizens suffer just as much when their parents are arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced for their crimes.

To their credit, President Trump and Vice President Vance have also trained their focus on curbing legal immigration. But talk is cheap. It’s time for action and repatriation. The Trump administration and the Secretary of State are reviewing the 50 million visa holders in the United States.

I say that they should forget about a detailed examination of all these visa holders and just revoke the permits for individuals from third-world countries right now. We have suffered too much violence, endured too much competition for land and resources, and we have way too many visitors in this country who have overstayed their welcome while contributing nothing. 

But won’t such an insistence on immigration enforcement hurt his polling and strain the already tenuous House Republican majority?

I doubt it. Republican grassroots voters want to see more MAGA and less drama. The more establishment-leaning Republicans running for U.S. Senate (like Andy Barr of Kentucky) are facing considerable headwinds because of their prior advocacy for amnesty and blanket invitations to Afghan migrants following the Biden withdrawal debacle out of Afghanistan.

The major components of the Big Beautiful Bill all focused on enforcement, enforcement, enforcement of our immigration laws. The migrant crises under the previous administration, plus the massive pressure on food, housing, and wages all result from mass immigration as well as illegal immigration.

If Trump accomplishes more deportations, revokes the easy asylum process, and puts the focus on reducing legal immigration (not just from the third world), he will ameliorate all the other problems which have tanked his and the Republican Party’s polling numbers: inflation, cost of housing, public safety, welfare, etc.

The focus on immigration is a must, and he should not allow consternation from more liberal or pro-Chamber of Commerce elements within the GOP to deter him.

In addition to aggressive immigration enforcement, President Trump must phase out “permanent residency.”

Why should we welcome foreign nationals to the United States, let them reside in the country legally, when they refuse to become citizens? We should not be satisfied with newcomers who want to settle into this country just to take advantage of our wealth and opportunity, but refuse to integrate themselves completely into our national fabric.

Every immigrant should welcome citizenship, since being an American is not just about privileges but responsibilities.

Few politicians are discussing this issue, but it's time to expect every immigrant who comes legally to this country that either they are on the pathway to becoming a citizen, or they go back to their home countries. 

Let no one mistake this extensive statement as immigrant-bashing. If you have already come legally to the United States, and you have played by the rules, passed all the tests, and paid all the fees, and you are working on attaining your citizenship, then you have nothing to worry about. Welcome to the United States, fellow American! By no means should the United States government or its people renege on its promises or its legal integrity when it comes to the process by which millions of people have done everything dutifully. 

However, from this point on, American citizens must impress on their government and insist on an inbound moratorium.

It is not the United States' job to alleviate poverty around the world, nor is the United States the only place of hope or refuge for those fleeing persecution. Americans are in need, Americans are facing great loss and trial, and it's time for our elected leaders to stop hiding behind misplaced compassion and virtue signaling and start getting back to doing their jobs of upholding the Constitution, defending our rights, and defending our borders.
