Just a few decades ago, almost every part of President Donald Trump’s plan to control immigration and expel illegals would have been uncontroversial. President Eisenhower’s Operation Wetback, which bought another decade of life for white America, did not face serious political opposition. President Ronald Reagan’s disastrous amnesty was sold as a border control measure, with supposedly harsh sanctions against hiring illegals. The Barbara Jordan Commission on Immigration Reform, chaired by an important black woman and a fierce progressive, called for policies that today would be considered far-right. Historically, it is taken for granted that the federal government enforces immigration laws and that states and cities comply.
That’s no longer true because many areas of the country have ceased to be part of the American nation in any meaningful way. Some cities and states are trying to nullify American immigration law, and more cities and states will join them. Los Angeles County declared a “state of emergency,” not because of crime or a national disaster but because of ICE raids.
The county government will now use taxpayer money for legal aid for illegals and to offer “rent relief” to those who have “fallen behind” because of raids. This may lead to an “eviction moratorium” in Los Angeles — another example of anarcho-tyranny, where illegal immigrants wouldn’t have to pay rent while landlords couldn’t evict them. “This isn’t the first time sanctuary politicians in Los Angeles have put law-breakers ahead of Americans,” said a spokesperson for DHS. “Our law enforcement should be thanked by the [Los Angeles] board of supervisors — not demonized.”
In Chicago, Governor JB Pritzker said that ICE officers might be prosecuted by a future Democratic administration:
The tables will turn one day. These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out. We’re talking to the state’s attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this . . . .
In other words, the law will be used to prevent immigration laws from being enforced. The state of Illinois is considering banning federal immigration officials from making arrests at state courthouses, and wants to stop agents from entering schools without first notifying parents. The state would also expand existing prohibitions on state and local law enforcement working with ICE.
The federal government is shut down over what the White House calls a fight over funding medical care for illegals. The Democrats insist that illegals are ineligible for government coverage, but there are ways for them to get it. The federal government subsidizes emergency medicine for illegals, and some are eligible for other programs.
The One Big Beautiful Bill cracked down on this, and the Democrats forced this shutdown to remove those provisions. Politically, Democrats do not want to admit they want to pay for medical care for illegals; they want it done through various loopholes and fine print. Progressives such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are finding it hard to stick to the script, simultaneously insisting on CNN that Republicans are lying about illegals getting medical benefits but also saying that they are a human right and everyone should get treatment regardless of status or insurance.
The idea of “law” becomes vague when everything is reduced to power. Many Democrats and some Republicans do not want to enforce immigration law because they benefit from either the voting habits of the newcomers or from cheap labor. Thus, those who enforce immigration laws are hampered by the institutions of the government itself and could even be prosecuted.
Criminal justice is fragmenting along racial lines. New York Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James famously ran for office with a promise to prosecute “that man in the White House,” ultimately winning a case based on an extremely technical and controversial real-estate law.
Now, it appears that Miss James may be guilty of mortgage fraud, a crime she has prosecuted. CNN’s Kasie Hunt defended her, suggesting that just about all home-buyers fudge their mortgage applications. Similar defenses were common among Republicans when New York was trying to dismantle Mr. Trump’s business empire — noting that businesses routinely overvalue their properties when they are used as collateral for loans — but at that time, the media line was that the law must apply to everyone. Now, the New York political leadership is rallying behind Letitia James and claiming she is a victim of political retribution.
The Democrats are right in that the case probably is political retribution. The same could be said of Letitia James’s crusade against Mr. Trump, or for that matter, VDARE.com or the National Rifle Association. Whether the defendants broke any rules is almost irrelevant, if charges are brought for political reasons. White advocates can take solace that the Trump Administration is unlikely to prosecute us out of spite, but should remember that Letitia James could have been US Attorney General under a President Kamala Harris.
For now, we have the spectacle of the Department of Homeland Security faulting the Democrats for shutting down the government to protect aliens, siding with criminals, and attacking law enforcement. For those who think illegal immigration and crime must be combatted, it is hard to disagree. Democrats seem to be all but championing the foreign invasion, and insisting on ignoring widespread violation of immigrations laws they themselves helped pass.
However, leading up to the Democrats’ Shutdown, FEMA and the Region team, under @Sec_Noem, were working diligently with the North Carolina Department of Transportation and North Carolina Emergency Management to identify a lawful and equitable path forward.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Democrat Party represents foreigners, non-whites, and those who favor dispossession of the white American nation. It champions the racial and foreign interests of groups within its coalition. The other party — currently in charge of the federal government — is the de facto representative of the larger white population, but due to its own elites and financial donors, explicitly opposes white racial consciousness. The best it can do is fall back on “traditional” American symbols that inspire mostly whites. This has mass appeal; about 175,000 Americans have applied to join ICE.
If JB Pritzker gets his way, those who join may eventually face prosecution from someone like Letitia James. People as different as Nick Fuentes and Curtis Yarvin have warned that if the Left returns to power, its vengeance will be far more vicious than anything the Trump Administration has done. This administration’s hope for mass deportations and a permanent, loyal immigration-control bureaucracy would require almost a decade in power. Congress may help. The Supreme Court could pare back the provisions of the Voting Rights Act that are effectively affirmative action for black politicians. This could give the GOP a dozen new seats in the House and frustrate any Democratic plan to neuter the administration.
Democrat insistence that non-white cities and states can nullify national immigration laws cannot be tolerated. At the same time, Democrats will not back down from the claim that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian intent on forcing fascism on the country. Mass deportations combined with the loss of specialized minority Congressional districts could endanger political prospects for the Democrats. In the long term, demographic change favors Democrats, but in the short-term, their radical base is likely to take more extreme, self-defeating actions if it faces more defeats in the existing system.
What may be emerging is something similar to antebellum America: The system cannot contain the conflict. The legitimacy of the state itself is coming into question — a casualty of the disastrous decision to turn America into a multiracial mess. The new nullification may not lead to a “civil war,” as some excitable pundits claim, but it will undoubtedly lead to more chaos, more intrusive government, more conflict, and more doubt in the system. One’s own liberty and personal property may now depend on the outcome of elections, which is common in the Third World. Thanks to the Great Replacement, we are increasingly part of that world.
