ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND FAKE CONSERVATIVES

       During the manufactured crises of the last two years, one thing that has become apparent to anyone not too drugged-out to reason is that there really is no "Left-Right Paradigm in American sociopolitics anymore. At least this true at the levels of actual governance. The reality is that the only paradigm that actually exists are the Left and their Neocon enablers vs. a minority of traditionalists who hold no significant political or economic power. 

     Our culture is like a corrupt city run by far-away wealthy organized crime bosses. The Democrats are like the petty crooks and vice-peddlers, while the Republicans are like the cops who take bribes to look the other way while making speeches about the Administration being soft on crime. They keep the general public divided with these kinds of ruses: stirring up outrage against each other while securing the public's obedience to them with various forms of dependence and distraction. 


    Neither side is above using human beings as pawns or scapegoats in this scheme, usually some group or individual who is outside of any real power. Take for example, illegal immigration. Nothing has actually been done about this in decades, but it's always an issue because immigrants are an easily scapegoated class. 

   Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Neocon who's owned by the Bush Machine has come up with a solution to the 'Border Crisis.' He's decided to rent buses, packed with illegal immigrants, and dump them, like garbage, at the Washington, D.C. bus station. And people say that there's no such thing as Compassionate Conservatism. After all, they're shipped in nice air-conditioned buses instead of cattle-trailers. And I'm sure that the drivers get bonus pay, too. 

   Abbott is now up to ten busloads of human cargo and the Neocon punditocracy can't contain their effusive praise over such real leadership. Their supporters are equally giddy with excitement; delighted that Abbott is owning those Libtards while somehow forgetting that these are human beings used as props for this show. While it is true that Left-Wing Corporate scumbags like George Soros and the DNC paid off Central American governments to pack their surplus populations on buses and send them here in the first place (in what the MSM romantically termed migrant caravans); it's really no justification for the Right to behave like they do. Embracing the cynicism and contempt for human dignity that the Left regularly displays really highlights the uncomfortable truth that the Right---morally speaking---is no better than they are. Both parties claim to oppose human trafficking, but don't seem to mind it when doing so suits their agendas. 


     “By busing migrants to Washington, D.C., the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately meet the needs of the people they are allowing to cross our border,” Abbott sneered to the MSM last week. 

     Unfortunately for Abbott, Texas is going to bear the burden anyway. The District of Columbia is legally a Federal Territorial government and, as such, is funded directly by the Federal Government. In other words, American tax dollars are going to cover the increased welfare burden that Texas is bestowing upon D.C.. Even a spokeswoman for the Junta laughed off the measure as a "publicity stunt." 

   “I’m not aware of what authority the governor would be doing that under​.​ I think it’s pretty clear this is a publicity stunt​,”  Jen Psaki noted“His own office admits that a migrant would need to voluntarily be transported, and then he can​’t​ compel them to because​,​ again, enforcement of our country’s immigration laws lies with the federal government and not a state​." 

    Now there is an interesting detail that the 'Conservative' media seems to leave out: that the immigrants have to volunteer for the trip. Either way, it doesn't work well for Abbott, since either he's forcing them to go illegally or he's subsidizing the problem by dispersing the immigrants all over the country. 

   “President Biden refuses to come to the southern border to see the chaos he has created. So, we’re taking the border to him,” Abbott further pontificated in a Fox News interview. “Texas should not have to bear the burden of the Biden Administration’s failure to secure our border.” Maybe Abbott should take up the issue with the Republican Party itself. President Trump's proposals to secure the border, we should recall, were routinely blocked by a GOP-lead Congress

   The political grandstanding aside, the truly disturbing thing about this policy is the implied inhumanity of it. Truthfully, I fail to see any material difference in Conservative attitudes towards illegal immigrants and Leftist attitudes towards Loyalty Vaxx dissidents. Both seem to agree that freezing people out of society is a morally acceptable policy. 

   The best way to deal with illegal immigration is twofold. First, we should abolish paramilitary units like ICE and replace them with a civil Immigration service like we used to have. People who come here with a job, a sponsor, or visible means of support should be given permission with the least amount of bureaucratic arrogance and red tape. Those are undesirable for various reasons should be deported without interference from social workers and administrative judges. The second thing we should do is deal with Soros-type enterprises through the State Department. We should make it clear to the representatives of these various Banana Republics that any further foreign-funded 'caravans' would be answered with reverse 'immigration' from America---who would be arriving on a battleship. In the past, that was always a very effective deterrent against the larcenous tendencies that some Latin American leaders were wont to display. 


      It is seriously doubtful however that either Party desires serious immigration reform. It's always been a curious thing: how ICE is so adept at catching migrant farm workers and impoverished refugees, but violent gang members like MS-13 always seem to get through the dragnet. It's also amazing how travelers coming to and going from the United States are subject to degrading and invasive inspections; but somehow narcotics and weapons always seem flow back and forth across the border with very little interference. It's also unexplained how drug cartels flourish on the Mexican Border while our government has refused repeatedly to give the Mexican Military resources that they've asked for. We seem to have plenty of resources to help Ukraine's attempts to seize Russian territories or illegally occupy the Republics of Lughansk and Donetsk; but we never seem to have enough resources to share with Mexico in defending our common borders. 

    A suspicious mind might indeed to start to think that maybe there are interests involved who want the status quo. Human traffickers, drug smugglers, and Black Market weapons' dealers are, of course, happy with the arrangement. But there are also a few corporate hands in the till, too. When Abbott's mentor, Bush Jr. created ICE, he and Cheney outsourced the warehousing of illegal immigrants to private corporations. The two major recipients of federal funding for immigrant jails are CoreCivic, whose CEO Damon Hininger, and the GEO Group, whose CEO George Zoley, just coincidentally happen to be major donors to Republican candidates. According to Open Secrets, CoreCivic maintains 14 Beltway lobbyists, 9 of whom are revolving-door former federal bureaucrats.  GEO Group maintains 18 lobbyists, of which 15 are former federal employees. Needless to say, federal allocations to these groups have a built-in insurance that these Corporate looters will get their share of immigrants to fill their jails. Obviously, immigration reform is of no benefit to them either. 

   Let's see if we can guess who the top stockholder in both of these two companies is...


    Yep. One of the WEF's top 'Strategic Partners'---our old friends at Blackrock. Blackrock owns about 15% of CoreCivic and almost 14% of the GEO Group. Is it any wonder that Schwab and Soros are so encouraging of America's current border policy? And here we all thought that these woke corporations were solely in it for equality's sake. 

  It should be noted that the institutions which these banksters, corporate robber barons, and Beltway lobbyists operate are funded and managed with little to no Congressional oversight. Not that oversight would matter much in today's political climate; but like many programs initiated during the Bush Jr. Administration, the operational levels---including funding---are buried in 'National Security' budgets which aren't open for discussion. During the Obama years, an organization connected with the Quaker sect who ministers to incarcerated people wrote:

   “Without a single vote in Congress, officials across three administrations: created a new classification of federal prisons only for immigrants; decided that private companies would run the facilities; and filled them by changing immigration enforcement practices. One-hundred percent of these facilities, known as “Criminal Alien Requirement” (CAR) prisons, are operated by private corporations." None of these facilities, incidentally, are subject to oversight by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I think it's fairly safe to conclude from all of this that what Governor Abbott and his party bosses really want is further funding from the Junta to build more Corporate-owned prisons. 

   The reality is that neither party gives a hoot about any of the problems associated with illegal immigration and neither party has the slightest intention of any meaningful reform. The Democrats will let more illegals in---which in turn necessitates the need for more private prisons. The Republicans will profess to crackdown on immigration---which will also require more private prisons. Nothing will be solved, while Americans keep pointing the finger at each other and the Elites laugh themselves all the way to the bank.
