Sailer Strategy Adopted!!! - By President Obama

We, The People


You're all I need!  Obama at Congressional Black Caucus event.


So President Obama is using the Sailer Strategy: mobilize your natural ethnic support!


English-Speaking Americans Suffer Discrimination for Jobs

Add “bilingual” preference on the part of business to the increasing ways that Americans face unfair treatment in our own nation. More and more, citizens are expected to know the language of the invader while Spanish speakers do not need to speak English.

We already pay for translations of official documents into various languages for the convenience of immigrants, as the city of Oakland has been doing for a decade.

The Candy Brothers

Various screenwriters read this blog, so if anybody is looking for supporting characters for a superhero movie, here's my advice: read up on the billionaire Candy Brothers, whose firm Candy & Candy serves as real estate developers and interior decorators for oligarchs, oil sheikhs, and hedge fund guys.

Treason Lobby Ponders Perry Substitutes. Christie? Gingrich? Santorum?

There is wide recognition that Rick Perry’s recent faltering stems largely from the fact that his atrocious weaknesses on immigration policy - exemplified by his obstinate stupidity on the acid test of the Border Fence - is becoming better known.


NRO, RINOs, Illegals And Amnesty

National Review has surrendered to the radical left and is slowly adopting the Obama Regime Administrative Amnesty. It all centers around the ratchet effect, abject surrender, and much ignorance on immigration law.

NRO's resident illegal alien Kevin Williamson, while officially claiming to be "agnostic" on the in-state tuition for illegal aliens, Rick Perry's DREAM Act assistance to illegal aliens, in fact is a big supporter of illegal aliens, and always looking for a reason not to enforce immigration laws, or build fences. Perhaps that would keep out too many illegals, like himself.

I’ll have something to say about “binational health insurance” in a bit, but first, college tuition: Under a Supreme Court mandate (Plyler vs. Doe), Texas and every other state is obliged to provide K-12 education for illegal immigrants. What Texas has decided, under Rick Perry, is to treat Texas high-school graduates like Texas high-school graduates for the purposes of calculating college tuition, including those who were brought here illegally by their parents, with a couple of provisos: They have to have been in school in Texas for three years prior to graduating from a Texas high school, and they have to be on their way to becoming legal permanent residents of the United States. About 1 percent of Texas’s college students fit the bill.[Perry and the Illegals, September 23, 2011]

Actually, none of them fit the bill. The bill states that the student must make a claim in

"No More Deaths" Report—Much Ado About Nothing

Migra Hands OffThe war against immigration enforcement continues. No More Deaths, an organization with the explicit mission of ending immigration law enforcement has published a report created by its own interviewers of sad tales of depravity committed against illegal aliens by Border Patrol Agents. The litany of complaints is itself laughable as not returning shoe laces is one of the major concerns reported by illegal aliens. One only has to go to the No More Deaths website and see their graphic of a illegal alien holding a sign "Migra Hands Off Of Our Community." Of course, that needs a comma somewhere, but what do you expect from those with less than a command of English? And, more tellingly, an agenda.

 

Our findings include the following:

• Border Patrol agents denied food to 2,981 people and gave insufficient food to 11,384 people. Only 20 percent of people in custody for more than two days received a meal.

• Agents denied water to 863 people and gave insufficient access to water to 1,402 additional people. Children were more likely than adults to be denied water or given insufficient water. Many of those denied water by Border Patrol were already suffering from moderate to severe dehydration at the time they were apprehended.

• Physical abuse was reported by 10 percent of interviewees, including teens and children. The longer people were held in custody, the more likely they were to experience physical abuse.

Republicans Debate Immigration in Orlando

It was certainly a pleasure to see a substantial chunk of the Fox News Republican debate devoted to immigration — a far cry from the 2008 election in which the subject was barely mentioned.

The use of interactive technology, including Youtube questions asked by average citizens, livened up the debate format and brought subjects of genuine importance to Americans. Nearly 20,000 questions were submitted by concerned citizens.

Fox posted nifty word cloud graphics on the major topics of debate. Below is the one for immigration:

West Hunter: Greg Cochran And Henry Harpending Now Have A Blog

Cochran explains how Out of Africa can be mostly right at the same time that the old multiregionalists were also right that there really are regional patterns that go back before anatomically modern humans (AMH):

I see three reasons why the modern races split along the same lines as those older , much more divergent groups.

Oops—Jacob Weisberg And Accuracy

In Slate, Jacob Weisberg (who co-authored a book with Larry Summers' mentor Robert Rubin) is very upset about Ron Suskind's book that claims, based on interviews with Larry's rivals for Obama's attention, that Summers intellectually bullied Obama:

Once again, [Suskind's] work is strewn with small but telling errors.

Corrupt Police In Immokalee, Florida—Not Entirely An Immigration Problem

Sheriff PepperBarry Estabrook, author of Tomatoland (aee below) says that "Florida's largest farmworker community, Immokalee is the town that tomatoes built." It's also an extremely high crime community.

GOP Debate: Could The Immigration Message Be Getting Through?

This evening’s GOP Presidential debate was interestingly blogged about by both NumbersUSA and Dick Morris.

NumbersUSA commendably pulled out their check book and ran a (very PC) ad on immigration during the debate! (Ad targeting legal immigration to air during GOP debate By Josh Lederman The Hill 09/22/11.) This probably cost more than VDARE.com’s annual Budget, but it was an enterprising idea.

Dick Morris has said and done silly things over the years, but he has a long history of being alert to the immigration issue, and a remarkable record joining the winning side as it wins. So it is pleasant to find him stressing the potency of the question in the midst of his currently enthusiastic Republicanism.

Numbers USA’s most extensive quote was of Michelle Bachmann:

"9:44 First immigration question to Bachmann. She was asked if she believed if it's okay for states to enforce immigration laws even though the Constitution grants the power over naturalization to Congress.
Bachmann said that "the Federal Government has failed the American people and the states. Pres. Obama has sued the state of Arizona

Denisovans And Human History

For the last couple of decades, there has been a popular theological concept that every living human being was 100% descended from modern humans who came Out of Africa about 50,000 years ago, so therefore there hasn't been enough time for evolution to cause any changes among people, so, therefore, Science Proves the complete genetic equality of all human racial groups.

50,000 Years of Nativism Down Under

Breaking News! Pakistan not actually on our side

hocking revelations from the NYT: the government of Pakistan doesn't like the United States of America.

Rick Perry's Texas Miracle (Americans Need Not Apply)

Steve Camarota has done a very useful piece of research for the Center for Immigration Studies:

Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) has pointed to job growth in Texas during the current economic downturn as one of his main accomplishments. But analysis of Current Population Survey (CPS) data collected by the Census Bureau show that immigrants (legal and illegal) have been the primary beneficiaries of this growth since 2007, not native-born workers. This is true even though the native-born accounted for the vast majority of growth in the working-age population (age 16 to 65) in Texas. Thus, they should have received the lion’s share of the increase in employment. As a result, the share of working-age natives in Texas holding a job has declined in a manner very similar to the nation as a whole. 

Among the findings: 

Of jobs created in Texas since 2007, 81 percent were taken by newly arrived immigrant workers (legal and illegal).  

In terms of numbers, between the second quarter of 2007, right before the recession began, and the second quarter of 2011, total employment in Texas increased by 279,000. Of this, 225,000 jobs went to immigrants (legal and illegal) who arrived in the United States in 2007 or later.  

The British And "Brilliant"

It's a good thing Obama doesn't like England and never spent much time there or his head would have exploded from having everything he did called "brilliant." It reminds me of a business trip I made to Oxford in 1994. The very polite English lady who was my host at Nielsen asked if I had any trouble getting there from Heathrow.

"Well, it took me awhile to find the Hertz counter, but I stopped a bunch of people and asked and I finally found one I could understand because he had a full set of teeth."
