President Trump's recent address to Congress sparked a heated discussion about immigration, as he claimed that a new president was the key to securing the border.
I have always averred that every square inch of the United States should be private property*, right to the Canada and Mexico borders, with the owners free and responsible for securing the boundaries of their property with their firearms and entirely at their own expense, either solely by themselves, or combined with private sector security services under contract with them, and personally accountable to them. This would be in full accord with their private property rights and right to self-defense, including, of course, the Castle Doctrine. They would post signs on their land in English and Spanish, with pictograms for the illiterate, to inform what will happen to anyone who trespasses on their property.
*Eminent Domain and the 16 Amendment, which undermine private property rights, would need to be abolished, stricken from the US Constitution, with allodial titles replacing fee simple titles. The government would have to lease land from private owners who freely consent to lease it, with payments obtained voluntarily from those who freely consent to financially support it, an arrangement that would radically reduce the size, scope, and power of the government--and rightly so. This subject goes far beyond the scope of this article.
I was born in and grew up near Northampton, MA. Calvin Coolidge, who was its mayor for two terms (1910-12), returned to live there after his presidency. He wouldn't recognize the city today.
President Trump is absolutely right - all we needed was a new President. The numbers don’t lie: The number of illegal crossings into the US during the Biden/Harris February’s of 2021/2022/2023/2024 all came in at 100K-150K in each of those years. February 2025, the first month of Donald Trump’s presidency? 8,269. So, yes, all we needed was a new President. I will tell you that nearly EVERY Latino/a in the warehouse I work at (65% of total headcount) voted for Donald Trump last November. The common chatter at work among Hispanic Americans before the election went something like this: “We have to vote in big numbers so that the ‘mojados’ that the Democrats are registering at the border will not matter!” ‘Mojado’ is a derogatory term used by native Hispanics to describe illegal aliens. That said, whether true or not, everyone knows that registering illegals to vote for Democrats is not a big secret. There were excellent Election 2024 political cartoons showing just that: the DNC and their NGO’s registering illegals on the Mexican side of the border wall.
Unfortunately, the immigrants do not even have to vote for the Democratic party, but the party will still benefit. It is simply that they will be counted in the next census, which does not distinguish if the individuals are citizens or not, and those districts with the higher populations (like sanctuary cities) will have more Congressmen and more money allotted to them
That could be solved before the next census in 2030 with SCOTUS stepping in and ruling that ONLY US CITIZENS (Naturalized also) are to be counted in the censuses going forward beginning in 2030. This would mean the loss of dozens of House seats from the blue states to the red states. Can you just hear the screams and howls from the Democrats? The screams and howls towards President Trump will pale by comparison. President JD Vance will be happy with the census results of 2030.
Were Biden's open-border policies motivated by a desire to import voters for the 2024 election?
― The question reflects short-term thinking . . .
The Core of the Democratic Party thinks Long Term. One million immigrants having 6 to 9 children could result in 7 to 8 million votes in 20 years. 10 million immigrants could result in 70 - 80 million votes by 2050!
What organization boasts that America will be completely ******** by 2050?
If you hear this claim “all the time” then there are more people than I who understand who the Core of the Democratic Party is, their history and their goals . . . evidently you do not.
That you do not “see the evidence” tells me you do not know the real Enemy, the Rot, or the Disease that is slowly killing America. Thus, your time spent discussing, elucidating, articulating, talking about, debating only the Symptoms of the Disease: the woke, trans, and pronouns. These are problems in themselves, yes, but they are not the Cause of Themselves.
I am here in Portland OR. I can talk for hours articulating exactly what/who/where the problems come from, their history, their goals, their modus operandi, and the ways they can be defeated. If these are things you are somewhat interested in, come spend a day in ol’ rainy Portland. I guarantee you will be glad you did.

Correct, it does. The Castle Doctrine was normative where I grew up in liberal Mass.

I'm waiting for the final numbers to come out before I solidify my decision. But yes, it does seem that those initial numbers are accurate.

I hear this all the time but I'd like to see some evidence for it. As of now, it's just an unsubstantiated claim.
