Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
Among the recent border-crossers, who are transported by bus to detention centers, where they remain for 72 hours and then are released to travel where they wish, many are carrying the coronavirus. Thus, what’s shaping up on the border is not only a national security crisis but a national survival crisis.
During a Democratic debate in 2020, the candidates were asked if their health care plans would cover “undocumented immigrants.”
Each raised his or her hand, including front-runner Joe Biden.
From that stage, the message went forth: If the Democrats win this election, then it is amnesty for all and open borders in America.
The message was reinforced by repeated Democratic praise for sanctuary cities, by calls to “abolish ICE” and end deportations, by pledges to stop work on Donald Trump’s wall, if not to tear it down.
Message sent to Mexico, Central America and the Third World:
If the Democrats win and you make it across the border into the United States, under President Joe Biden, you will not be sent back. After only a brief hassle, the economic opportunities and social welfare benefits of the richest country on earth will be open to you and yours.
Hence, when Biden won, a new and potentially historic surge to the Southern border began, and the number of illegal arrivals and crossings are in the growing thousands every day.
According to a White House domestic policy council document, the number of children who, without a parent or guardian, will arrive at the border in 2021 will be about 117,000 — 50% higher than the record number of children who arrived in the 2019 humanitarian crisis.
In February, some 100,000 immigrants were apprehended by the Border Patrol for illegal border crossing. “I actually think that’s an undercount,” says Victor Manjarrez Jr., ex-Border Patrol agent who teaches at Texas University.
The pre-Trump policy of “catch-and-release” has been reinstated.
Children and families who cross illegally from Mexico cannot now be held for more than 72 hours. They are being released into the U.S. to await a court date — potentially years off — to hear their claim to a right to be here. Most never show up.
“We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border,” says Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat whose Texas district abuts Mexico. “Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants in the middle of the pandemic.”
Congressional Democrats, following Biden’s lead, have proposed a new citizenship act. “Dreamers,” brought here by their parents as children, would be put on a three-year fast-track to U.S. citizenship.
The 11 million to 22 million illegal migrants already in the country — the exact number is unknown — would be put on an eight-year track to citizenship.
The Democratic Party is signing on to the largest mass amnesty for illegal immigrants in history — which would produce millions of new voters for the party.
Among the recent border-crossers, who are transported by bus to detention centers, where they remain for 72 hours and then are released to travel where they wish, many are carrying the coronavirus.
Thus, what’s shaping up on the border is not only a national security crisis but a national survival crisis. For it is impossible to see, given the Biden administration policies adopted, how the invasion of America can be halted. And if 2 million or 3 million migrants reach the U.S. border and cross over each year, and we do not send them back, what stops the invasion and remaking America?
What would blanket amnesty and a renewed invasion portend?
In a decade, Texas, the Southwest and much of the South would take on the political aspect of California where the GOP has become a permanent minority party.
As many illegal migrants do not read, write or speak English, and do not bring a unique set of skills, their immense and growing presence can only deepen our national disunity.
Almost all of these folks are poor or working-class people who would have to rely on government subsidies for their health care, food support, housing and the schooling of their children.
With the unemployment rate rising again in the Black community, which has sustained the heaviest collective hit from the pandemic and economic collapse, the migrants would be competing with them for jobs.
And as the illegal migrants are disproportionately young and male, they would add to the surging crime rates in America’s major cities.
America is headed, seemingly inexorably, to a future where a majority in this country traces its ancestry to Asia, Africa and Latin America, a future where this already fractionated nation is even more multiracial, multiethnic, multilingual and multicultural than today.
With racial conflict as sharp as it has been in decades, with our political parties at swords point, with the culture war raging unabated, as mobs tears down statues and monuments to America’s founders, exactly what national problem will be solved by an unstopping and unrelenting wave of migrants illegally crossing the border into our country year after year?
One wonders: Is this how the Republic ends?

Pat. As long as they vote Democrat, all good
It is increasingly difficult to be positive
Texas should just say “fuck it”, entirely open the borders, pass legislation denying any aid to any non US citizen, and provide free bus or plane tickets to any other state, along with vouchers to spend when they get there. Fuck the idiots. Let them reap what they are sowing,
Sadly I’d agree. Open wide. It’d be cheaper, if like you state, for the Red states to simply deny the illegals residence and move them to the blue utopia’s they seek. Win Win…
Remember the bull shit line about COVID and how Trump handled it all wrong. Now these morons open the border to people who may not only have COVID, but also many tropical diseases that are not in the US.
BS! Send every one of them back with no chance to ever get citizenship because they broke the law.
Or just bus them all to DC, put them on the inside of the fence that they built up to keep Americans out
Pat: “One wonders: Is this how the Republic ends?”
There’s no wondering about it, Pat. The Republic is over.
Emerging.
Talk about an understatement.
I guess the scamdemic doesn’t apply to illegal aliens. This is a slap in the face to all the people waiting and immigrating legally. I guess this is what we get with a senile President and progressives telling him how to do things.
Chaos is the goal. Complete and total chaos.
Chaos is the strategy, not the goal.
ADIOS AMERIKA!!
Where’s the chick w/ a dck? Bigot MoFo ;0
Thankfully sites like TBP exist to shed light on the evil sob’s that what to rule over us peons.
So I just came across this bill C-21 here in Canukistan, that is going to make airguns, pellet, BB’s, airsoft and paintball, PROHIBBITTED firearms. Obviously for our ‘safety’ because if it saves one eyeball its worth it. Weird how the official ‘conservative’ party is really mostly silent on this, almost like they don’t give a rat’s hiney about just how stupid this is.
So Extreme soi boi lil potato justeen is continuing feverishly to disarm us all and put everyone in canukistan under medical prison, like all good communists do. So pleaase… any canukistan here, fo sign the petition against this stupid. We at least have to try and push back… Write your MP too…
https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3201
wrist rockets and pachinco balls for ammo.
Ball bearings. And they come in so many delightful sizes. As kids we called them steelies.
Canadians are stupid, as are a majority of Americans these days. There is never any “push back” against anything. Freedom has been sliced away decade after decade. The average Canadians hasn’t got a clue what the word freedom even means.
Thank God Biden reversed Trump’s racist Muslim ban. That’ll go a long way to fixing our biggest problem here in Minneapolis: not enough Somalis.
Somalis = Proto-Humans
Ya’ll need a heapin dose of Haitians. Whadda kultural mix. Ya’ll be on the cutting edge.
The agenda of the Democrats is the overthrow of the United States and its Constitution.
That is now about as clear as it can be, and yet they are proceeding unopposed, because the average so called citizen has become both ignorant and cowardly….
… and disenfranchised.
Think about it, Jdog. Our country is being invaded by thousands of illegal immigrants daily and there are bus services taking them to various parts of the country. (Once processed, I guess they get a voucher of some kind. And probably an EBT card.)
Our votes don’t count anyway, but how easy would it be to dilute local communities with 3rd world homeless people living in tents in your local parks and downtown streets.
Your local town could look just like Los Angelos.
Hell, Austin, Texas is already getting real close to Lost Anglos, CA!!!
Austin is a shithole that rivals Seattle or Los Angeles. Most major Texas cities are shitholes or headed there at warp speed. Hospitals are going to have to shut down because they can’t survive the onslaught of illegals and their ‘free’ medical. Many area hospitals are supported by taxes, what happens when the tax base dries up?
Then, in Texas, the drain on resources is getting serious. Too many illegals, too many leftists have come here and, like an infestation of rats, they’re in the silos, eating the seed corn. The illegals work under the table while sucking up the freebie welfare stuff. They import children to puff out the child care credits while they’re also busily cranking out the babies, all birthed at taxpayer expense. Go to any hospital emergency room and it’s like the third world invaded. All that’s missing are cooking fires and chickens.

All I know about Austin is that movie “Slackers” from the 90s that basically looked like a documentary on what a human wasteland Austin is.
invaded by Millions…FIFY
Ummm, me thinks that has already happened. just sayin
Put them on buses going to DC. When they arrive let them know their bennies are inside that wire fence. After about three days…justice will be served.
They would know what an insurrection really feels like, wouldn’t they?
There are some dangerous people in these illegals coming through. They intend to “get them some” and they don’t care exactly who owns what they intend to get.
This has Obama’s name all over it. He’s scurrying to fundamentally transform the U.S., and has picked up right where he left off. He showed you on Biden’s first day. He’s back in charge. America must be destroyed for the good of the world. Too many White people with White Privilege that are systemically wayciss. Obama’s hatred for the U.S. knows no bounds.
And he’s been wildly successful. The GOP as an entity knows this, and they’ll always find a way to maintain their seat at the table…in the Cathedral. Behind closed doors: A pox on our rank and file.
Tuberculosis is the real epidemic. I hesitate to use the word pandemic because it’s so politically charged now, but over a million people die from it pretty much every year and have been for years and years. I guess we should have been born with masks on. God must have forgotten that part when we were designed. Illegal immigrants are bring it in with them and it spreads everywhere. I had a friend who picked it up when she was working as an admin in a hospital in the late 70’s. It was detected in my workplace in the late 90’s. A Vietnamese boat person working there had it. We all had to get tested.
You used to get better information in a search than you can now. They probably just mush all the people who are positive TB in with the CONvid stats. They are definatelty combining the Pneumonia, Flu and CONvid stats together. Which is why we have no flu.
https://www.tballiance.org/why-new-tb-drugs/global-pandemic
Oh, it’s not just TB although that’s a biggie. Drug resistant TB to boot. Seriously expensive drugs are needed to treat the disease and many afflicted don’t bother keeping up with the drugs, running about and spreading the misery. Who pays for those drugs and treatments? You, you silly taxpayer.
Diseases of the third world, diseases that were almost non-existent are now raging about. There was a reason that Ellis Island was created, it vetting the incoming groups for disease and kept them from entering if they were sick. Can’t have that today, it would be racist.
Biden’s handlers are releasing known covid infected into the country, like they actually WANT to spread the virus, which they indeed do. Quel suprise.
Obama ran commercials on Mexican tv and radio, telling the folks in Mexico how to apply for and get food stamps…in Mexico, American foodstamps for illegals and other spanish speakers.
They get welfare and free medical and a host of other goodies and Obama wanted them here to bancrupt the system ala Cloward Piven Strategy. They don’t really need the illegals to bankrupt the country but it sure speeds things up to have them. It also helps to create a dumber populace that will work (and steal anything they can grab, but that’s a tale for another time) and not create problems.
The real existential crisis is the one where every asshole has to use “existential crisis” in their title or as a means of trying to sound more intelligent than they truly are.
It is a misnomer. The crisis is a “manufactured crisis” and not existential because it is the traitors and cowards from within that created it, perpetuate it and exploit it.
Additionally, Pat, you would be better off calling it a metaphysical crisis as it is more about the concept of why one side (both really save a few on the right) allows unchecked illegal entry while crying foul on its own citizens.
That word just does not fit the context of the law breaking at the border. Stop trying to sound like a pseudo-intellectual leftist that always overuses that one word or phrase that feigns understanding a problem or tries to scare everyone.
ZFG, out.
P.S. the only existential crisis that exists is what the fuck I am making for dinner when I get home this afternoon. That and draining my balls.
I know that you are quoting Barbara Spectre, but I don’t think your point is clear.
I’m rusty.
Sometimes, a sarc tag would be helpful.
I write for the back of the room.
I don’t use /s.
I don’t want the US to survive…and it won’t. She has richly earned her place in the ash heap of history. At least those of your ilk will be rubbed out.
When you start seeing articles like this all over the place, you know there is a force determined to get it started. I call the Epoch Times semi-mainstream. I don’t trust them much and there’s a paywall to boot. There is a way around paywalls, I just forget the procedure. It’s probably not worth reading anyway.

Tsk, you forgot the S/ tag.

Ask Cuck Buchanan what he thinks about 9/11. The folks at American Conservative were rather disrespectful towards me and didn’t seem interested in talk of treason even if accompanied by facts and figures. Ggatekeeper might be more accurate than cuck.
