Here is the Tucker Carlson Op-Ed in Question:
Tucker Carlson: The truth about demographic change and why Democrats want it
Let me begin by saying I have never been a Democrat. I have never voted in a Democratic primary in my life.
Tucker begins his op-ed looking for cover:
“Native-born Americans of every race and class are being systematically disenfranchised. We need to start talking about it”
Georgia’s recent voting law has people complaining about voted disenfranchisement and voter ID. Those are not the reason or the covert intention of the bill. Georgia GOP changed WHO gets to COUNT to votes for more than they changed who GETS to vote. READ THE BILL!
“Last week, we said something on television that the usual chorus of hyperaggressive liars is now pretending was somehow highly controversial. Ordinarily, we’d ignore all of this. Once you’ve been denounced as a White supremacist for quoting Martin Luther King Jr., you realize such criticism is all just all another form of social control. Honestly, who cares what they think?”
The companies that used to be your sponsors care.
What’s Left of Tucker Carlson’s Advertisers (So Far) in 2021?
“But in this one case, we thought it might be worth pausing to restate the original point, both because it was true and worth saying, and also because America badly needs a national conversation about it.”
His original point?
IMMIGRATION is BAD (Sad!)
Nativism has reared its ugly head throughout US History
We have a statue
My Immigration Page: https://limbaugh2020.com/immigration/
“America badly needs a national conversation about it.”
Yes, we do! Let’s Begin With a Bible Verse…
Matthew 25:31-46
And this reminder:
JESUS WAS A REFUGEE
“The recent controversies regarding refugees and immigration more generally are an affront to these core Christian values. This is not a matter of who the president is or which party is in power; rather, this is a matter of Christian witness and discipleship. We should be turning toward refugees from vulnerable parts of the world, not away from them.
Jesus would have none of this. Jesus was a refugee. Jesus is a refugee. Those of us who seek, with God’s help, to follow Jesus as best we can do well to turn toward those who most need refuge and assistance, without regard to their religion or national origin.”
https://www.saltproject.org/progressive-christian-blog/2018/12/5/jesus-was-a-refugee
“On Thursday, our friend Mark Steyn guest-hosted the 7 p.m. hour on Fox. He did a segment on how federal authorities are allowing illegal aliens to fly without ID — something that, in case you haven’t noticed, you are not permitted to do. The following exchange took place in response to that story:”
Don’t let FACTS get in the way FoxNews!
Biden administration considers flying migrants to states near the Canadian border for processing
“TUCKER CARLSON, ‘FOX NEWS PRIMETIME’, APRIL 8: I’m laughing because this is one of about 10 stories that I know you’ve covered where the government shows preference to people who have shown absolute contempt for our customs, our laws, our system itself, and they’re being treated better than American citizens.“
Nothing in the above statement is true. They are not being treated better and they are coming here to better their lives.
“Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term “replacement,” if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World. But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening, actually.“
I am so confused. Democrats are WRONG to say GOP (and you) are complaining about being replaced but then you see that is what is really happening. How are they wrong?
“Let’s just say if that’s true, if look, if this was happening in your house, if you were in sixth grade, for example, and without telling you, your parents adopted a bunch of new siblings and gave them brand new bikes and let them stay up later and helped them with their homework and give them twice the allowance that they gave you. You would say to your siblings, “You know, I think we’re being replaced by kids that our parents love more.” And it would be kind of hard to argue against you because look at the evidence.“
Nothing in this example has any basis in FACT.
Comparing Benefits for Refugees and Senior Citizens
A law was passed:
Welfare Benefits for Non-citizens
“So this matters on a bunch of different levels. But on the most basic level, it’s a voting rights question. In a democracy, one person equals one vote. If you change the population, you dilute the political power of the people who live there. So every time they import a new voter, I’d become disenfranchized as a current voter. So I don’t understand. I mean, every wants to make a racial issue out of it. “Oh, the White replacement.” No, no, no. This is a voting rights question. I have less political power because they’re importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that? The power that I have as an American, guaranteed at birth, is one man, one vote, and they’re diluting it. No, they’re not allowed to do that. Why are we putting up with this?“
Dilute? I thought Democrats were wrong to complain about GOP and YOU complain of being ‘replaced’?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dilute
“Why should I sit back and take that?“
Sadly, White Anglo Saxon Protestants have been asking that for a long time!
How the 19th-Century Know Nothing Party Reshaped American Politics
Tucker, you have never complained about your vote being diluted from gerrymandering,
Has US population growth and more people turning 18 each year also diluted your vote?
“The power that I have as an American, guaranteed at birth, is one man, one vote, and they’re diluting it. No, they’re not allowed to do that. Why are we putting up with this?”“
If immigrants become CITIZENS, and they are 18 and over, they then have the right to vote. Their right to vote dilutes your vote no more or no less than an American 17-year old teenager turning 18 years old and having the right to vote. THEY are BOTH allowed to DO THAT! THAT being the RIGHT to VOTE. You are not ‘putting up with this’. You don’t have a say in the matter.
“At least one prediction came true right away, all those little gatekeepers on Twitter did become hysterical. They’ve spent the last four days jumping up and down furiously, trying once again to pull the show off the air. Once again, they will fail, though it is amusing to see them keep at it. (They get so enraged. It’s a riot.)”
I am not a little Twitter gatekeeper. I am a 61-year old man that has voted in every federal, state and local election since 1978. I voted for Reagan in 1980. I watched you evolve over the years to become the nativist racist bigot you are today.
“TUCKER: EVERY TIME DEMOCRATS ‘IMPORT A NEW VOTER,’ THEY DILUTE AMERICANS’ POLITICAL POWER“
One man is responsible for the current nativism hatred in America today.
Remember this Tucker?
Opinion: Face it, Tucker Carlson: Your anti-diversity segment was racist
Tucker Carlson’s anti-diversity rant for Fox News didn’t go over well on Twitter
Diversity IS OUR STRENGTH! Everyone IS Someone!
“But why all the anger? If someone says something you think is wrong, is your first instinct to hurt them? Probably not. Normal people don’t respond that way. If you hear something you think is incorrect, you try to correct it. But getting the facts right is hardly the point of this exercise. The point is to prevent unauthorized conversations from starting in the first place. “Shut up, racist! No more questions!” You’ve heard that before.”
I know what the facts are. The point is NOT to prevent unauthorized conversations. The point IS to point out racism from a bigot when you see it.
“You wonder how much longer they imagine Americans are going to go along with this; an entire country forced to lie about everything all the time. It can’t go on forever, but you can see why they’re trying it.”
You keep using this word, “lie”. Where is the lie? YOU are saying YOUR vote is being diluted by people REPLACING you. Where is the lie? Your next paragraph confirms this TRUTH:
“Demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party’s political ambitions. Let’s say that again for emphasis, because it is the secret to the entire immigration debate: Demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party’s political ambitions. In order to win and maintain power. Democrats plan to change the population of the country. They’re no longer trying to win you over with their program. They’re obviously not trying to improve your life. They don’t even really care about your vote anymore. Their goal is to make you irrelevant.”
Wow! A lot to unpack here. This passage is Nativism 101. Right out of the Know Nothing Party Handbook. I can hear those ugly chants in Charlottesville as I read that!
A great read Tucker (I dare you to read it!)
Resisting the Call of Nativism: What U.S. Political Parties Can Learn From Other Democracies
“That is provably true. And because it’s true, it drives them absolutely crazy when you say it out loud. A hurt dog barks. They scream about how noting the obvious is immoral, that you’re a racist if you dare to repeat things that they themselves proudly say. Most people go along with this absurd standard and dutifully shut up; they don’t think they have a choice. But no matter what they’re allowed to say in public, everyone understands the truth: When you change who votes, you change who wins. That fact has nothing inherently to do with race or nationality. It’s the nature of democracy. It is always true. You can watch it happen for yourself and you probably have.”
No, it isn’t provably true. YOU can not prove it. Do the MATH.
2020 Presidential Election
2020 Election Results
| Candidate | Party | Electoral Votes | Popular Votes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joseph R. Biden | Democratic | 306 | 81,268,867 |
| Donald J. Trump (I) | Republican | 232 | 74,216,747 |
| Jo Joregensen | Libertarian | 0 | 1,865,720 |
Biden, Trump and Jorgenson combined to receive 157,351,334 votes. What about all of the teenagers now that will be 18 in 2024? If 3,000,000 new immigrants become US Citizens by 2024, not counting the new American electorate, that would be a 1.87% change in the number of voters from immigration.
Fact-checking claim about number of immigrants becoming citizens under Trump
That 1.87% will be offset by the 14,000,000 teenagers that become 18-year-old eligible voters in 2024.
Every 2 years, 7 million Americans turn 18 and become eligible to vote.
14,000,000 new American voters offset by 10,000,000 or so voters that die before 2024 means more American voters will join the electorate than naturalized US Citizens. Remind me again how YOUR vote is being DILUTED?
Preliminary US death statistics show over 3.1 million total deaths in 2020—at least 12% more deaths than in 2019
“All across the country, we have seen huge changes in election outcomes caused by demographic change. New people move in and they vote differently. As a practical matter, it doesn’t matter what they look like or where they’re from, even. All that matters is that they have different political views. This is every bit as true when the migrants come from Brooklyn as when they come from Oaxaca.”
How does a migrant come FROM Brooklyn? What examples do you have of HUGE changes in election outcomes? How many GOP Senators and Congressman lost seats in 2020 due to this ‘demographic change’? How did ‘demographic change’ impact the race for POTUS? Please be SPECIFIC, with CITATIONS.
“New people move in and they vote differently.“
It takes a while for ‘new’ people to acquire the right to vote.
How Long Does the U.S. Citizenship Process Take?
From getting a green card to taking the U.S. citizenship test and interview, it can take quite a long time to become a U.S. citizen. Currently, it takes about 6 months to a year to get U.S. Citizenship from the time you apply. The citizenship process actually starts when you first get your US green card. The article below outlines the requirements for U.S. citizenship and the time frames for each one.
Citizenship Eligibility Requirements
In most cases, you must meet the following requirements before you can file an application for U.S. citizenship:
* You must be a lawful permanent resident (green card holder).
*You must be at least 18 years old.
*You must show that you have been continuously present in the U.S. for at least five years. (You only need to have been continuously present in the U.S. for at least three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen.)
*You must show that you have lived for at least three months in the same state or USCIS district where you currently live.
Please keep in mind that the requirements might vary depending on your personal circumstances and the reason why you qualify for U.S. citizenship.

Remind me again how those ‘demographic change’ voters from “Oaxaca” voted in 2020.
Trump’s New Latino Voters Are Sending Democrats a Message
“In 2020, Biden won Miami-Dade County in Florida with 53.4% of the vote, but Trump took 61% of Miami-Dade’s 482 majority-Latino precincts, up from 26% of them in 2016.
In 2020, Biden won Maricopa County in Arizona with 50.3% of the vote. He won all 109 of the majority-Latino precincts in the county. In more than half of them, his margin of victory was smaller than Hillary Clinton’s was in 2016.
In 2020, Biden won Harris County in Texas with 56% of the vote. He won 279 of 299 majority-Hispanic precincts in the county, but there was a net shift to Trump in 86% of them.”
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-us-election-hispanic-latino-voters/
So far, your ‘provable’ argument has not been proven.
“In Vermont, White liberals fleeing the mess they made in New York turned the state blue. As recently as 1992, Vermont was reliably Republican, as hard to believe as that is. Vermont is now a parody of lifestyle liberalism. That’s demographic change at work. You see the same thing happening in the state of New Hampshire as refugees from Massachusetts flood north and bring their bad habits with them.”
Huh? How are people refugees from New York and Massachusetts? Are you referring to “White Flight”? If so, how does that impact ‘demographics’ in Vermont and New Hampshire? Are you saying refugees are fleeing New York and Massachusetts for better lives in Vermont and New Hampshire. Using your logic, did New York and Massachusetts become more Red? What “bad habits”? Please expound on those “bad habits”?
“Montana, Idaho, and Nevada all face similar problems. The affluent liberals who wrecked California aren’t sticking around to see how that ends. They’re running to the pallid hideaways of Boise and Bozeman, distorting local culture and real estate markets as they do it. Pretty soon, people who are born in the Mountain West won’t be able to live there. They’ll be, yes, replaced by private equity barons, yoga instructors and senior vice presidents from Google. Beautiful places are always in danger of being overrun by the worst people. Ask anyone who grew up in Aspen.”
Thank you for answering one of my previous questions. You ARE referring to White Flight!
‘WHITE FLIGHT’ REMAINS A REALITY
Instead of immigrants, it is RICH WHITE people that are the problem. Got it! How does one distort local culture? Please be specific. Aren’t you a RICH WHITE person? Does that make you “worst people”?
“But in most of this country, it is immigration from other nations more than anything else that has driven political transformation. This is different from what we’ve seen in places like Vermont. Americans have every right to move to new states if they want, even if they have silly political opinions. But our leaders have no right to encourage foreigners to move to this country in order to change election results. Doing that is an attack on our democracy. Yet for decades, our leaders have done just that, and they keep doing it because it works.”
I have already provided numbers proving your “encourage foreigners to move to this country in order to change election results” has no basis in fact. I am upset at this:

Iowa knows what the truth is (despite Steve King’s years of nativist bigotry!)
11 Things You Need to Know About Refugees in Iowa
“Consider Virginia. The counties across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. now contain one of the largest immigrant communities in the United States. Most of these immigrants are hardworking and decent people. Many have been very successful in business. Good for them. But they also have very different politics from the people who used to live there. Their votes have allowed Democrats to seize control of the entire state and change it into something unrecognizable. Governor, Blackface Klanrobes in Richmond owes his job to immigrants in Arlington and Falls Church.”
How do you KNOW they have different political views? Citation? Evidence? Research? Perhaps Voter Turnout made a difference?
Voter turnout in Virginia nearly doubles from 2016
“Similar trends are now underway in Georgia, North Carolina and many other states. Mass immigration increases the power of the Democratic Party, period. That’s the reason Democrats support it. It’s the only reason. If two hundred thousand immigrants from Poland showed up at our southern border tomorrow, Kamala Harris wouldn’t promise them health care. Why? Simple: Poles tend to vote Republican. That’s the difference. Democrats would deport those migrants immediately. N hand-wringing about how we’re a nation of immigrants. Hundreds of thousands of likely Republican voters massing in Tijuana would qualify as a national crisis. We’d have a border wall by Wednesday.”
Are you making the argument that Polish immigrants tend to vote Republican or that WHITE immigrants tend to vote Republican? I have already demonstrated how hundreds of thousands or even 3,000,000 naturalized citizens becoming new voters has zero impact on the vote.
“For Democrats, the point of immigration is not to show compassion to refugees, much less improve our country. It’s definitely not about racial justice. Mass immigration hurts African-Americans, perhaps more than anyone else. Immigration is a means to electoral advantage. It is about power. More Democratic voters mean more power for Democratic politicians. That’s the signature lesson of the state of California.”
Don’t let facts or the truth get in your way.
Understanding Why Immigrants Are So Crucial to America’s Economic Growth
The 14 Most Common Arguments against Immigration and Why They’re Wrong
“Between 1948 and 1992, the state of California voted for exactly one Democratic presidential candidate. Among America’s big population centers, in vivid contrast to Chicago and New York, California was reliably, proudly Republican. For eight years, no less a figure than Ronald Reagan ran the state. California had the country’s best schools, the best infrastructure, the best economy, not to mention the prettiest national environment on the planet. California was a model for the world.”
Revisionist history Tucker,
4. A governor’s report card
“But since Reagan campaign literature today describes him as “the greatest tax-cutterm in the state’s history,” it is instructive to look at the figures.
It is true that Reagan was able to return $5.7 billion to Californians in the form of tax relief. This included property-tax reductions of $2.4 billion, abolishing the personal property tax on household effects, reducing the business inventory tax, and providing renter and senior citizen assistance.
However, every major form of state tax collection rose over the same period. Sales taxes were boosted from 4 percent to 6 percent. The maximum income tax rate went from 7 percent to 11 percent. The banking and corporate tax rate rose from 5.5 percent to 9 percent. Between Brown’s last year in office and the end of the Reagan administration, the annual state budget had climbed from $4.6 billion to $10.2 billion.
To put all of this in personal terms and adjust for inflation, the total real per-capita tax load in California went from $426.26 to $5556.84 (an increase of 31 percent) over this same period.”
https://www.csmonitor.com/1980/1001/100148.html
The Largest State Tax Increase in History?
“According to Bruce Bartlett, who worked as a senior policy analyst in the Reagan White House, the award for the largest state tax increase proposed by a governor in U.S. history goes to his former boss. As we honor the centennial anniversary of the birth of former California Governor and President Ronald Reagan, it is only fitting to give credit where credit is due. Governor Reagan’s 1967 tax plan – equal to nearly a third of 1967-68 General Fund spending – stands as the largest state tax increase not only here in California, but for the nation as a whole. The Reagan plan, according to Bartlett, raised the top income tax rate from 7 percent to 10 percent, the sales tax rate from 3 percent to 5 percent, the cigarette tax rate from 3 cents to 10 cents per pack, the alcohol tax from $1.50 to $2 per gallon, the bank and corporate tax rate from 5.5 percent to 7 percent, and the inheritance tax rate from a range of 2 percent to 10 percent to a range of 3 percent to 15 percent.”
https://calbudgetcenter.org/blog/the-largest-tax-state-increase-in-history/
“In 1980, Ronald Reagan, California’s former governor, became president of the United States. In retrospect, it never got any better for California. Midway through his second term, Reagan signed something called the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Though he likely didn’t realize it at the time, that law made future Ronald Reagans impossible. The Immigration Reform and Control Act brought about an amnesty, and a path to citizenship, for nearly three million foreign nationals living in the U.S. illegally. The next year, by executive order, Reagan added to that number. He halted the deportation of another 100,000 illegal minors, the Dreamers of his day.”
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
“Ultimately, 2.7 million individuals were granted legal status under the law.[1]“
https://ballotpedia.org/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986
2.8 million, as I have already proven, have no impact on YOUR vote.
“The rest of the world watched carefully as this happened. Would-be migrants everywhere concluded that there was no real penalty for breaking America’s laws. In fact, there was a reward. Reagan also signed a law that required hospitals to provide free medical care regardless of immigration status. The Supreme Court had already guaranteed free education to anyone who showed up without a visa. So: Free hospitals, free schools, and amnesty if you get caught. Why wouldn’t the rest of the world come? They soon did.”
Reagan’s immigration legacy: Despite the naysayers, amnesty worked well
“First, they saw legalization as essential to protecting and integrating immigrants. “The work to be done is to avoid seeing this nation populated with a furtive illegal subclass of human beings who are afraid to go to the cops, afraid to go to a hospital…or afraid to go to their employer,” Simpson later wrote Reagan.”

“nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

ANY person. NOT any CITIZEN.
“If you’re ever bored, go back and read the coverage of the 1986 amnesty bill the day it passed. Everyone at the time, in both parties and the media, assured Americans that the new law would control our border. It was called the Immigration Reform and Control Act, after all. Well, the opposite happened: Huge new waves of migrants arrived immediately, many of them illegal. California was transformed virtually overnight into a Democratic state. In 1988, George H.W. Bush narrowly won California in the presidential election, but no Republican has won that state since. No Republican ever will win in California, not in our lifetimes. There are now about twice as many registered Democrats in California as there are Republicans.”
I was 26 in 1986. I remember the debate well. Perhaps the reason there are more Democrats than Republicans in California is the same reason I am no longer a Republican. The GOP of 2021 is NOT the GOP of 1986. Great example? George W. Bush views on immigration compared to Donald Trump and yours,

“At its core, immigration is a sign of a confident and successful nation. Immigrants’ talent and hard work and love of freedom have helped us become the leader of the world.”

—President George W. Bush
“There’s not much debate about how this happened. The counties in California with the highest percentage of Republicans are, not coincidentally, those with the lowest percentage of immigrants and vice versa. California changed because the population changed. Analysis of the 2012 presidential election, for example, showed that if you lived in the state of California in 1980, you probably still voted Republican. Your views hadn’t really changed. But as your state swelled with foreign voters, your views became irrelevant. Your political power, the power to control your own life, disappeared with the arrival of new people who diluted your vote. That was the whole point.”
California migration: The story of 40 million
In 2017, California had 21,986,000 people that were born in California. 4,184,000 born in Mexico.
“Today, 56% of Californians were born in the state. But the proportion of foreign-born residents (28%) is nearly double that of transplants from other states (16%).”
https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-population-migration-census-demographics-immigration/
“Your political power, the power to control your own life, disappeared with the arrival of new people who diluted your vote. That was the whole point.”
How is your vote diluted? I have already provided evidence that immigrant voters can not be pigeon-holed as for being just for Democrats. Trump gained support from several immigrant groups of voters.
“That’s not democracy, it’s cheating. Imagine watching a football game where one team decides to start the third quarter with an extra 40 players on the field. Would you consider that fair play? The Democratic Party did something very much like that in the state of California. They rigged the game with more people. They packed the electorate. As a result, Americans who grew up in California lost their most basic right in a democracy, the right to have their votes count.”
Now do Gerrymandering and the Electoral College!
As a result, Americans who grew up in California lost their most basic right in a democracy, the right to have their votes count.”
Using your logic, teens becoming adults at 18 dilute your vote since you have no better way of judging how they will vote than you can prognosticate how immigrants will vote.
“This was true for all native-born Americans, by the way, not just Republicans. Los Angeles now has the largest Latin American population outside of Mexico City. Whites make up fewer than 30% of the population, down from more than 90% in 1960. But a less noticed decline has occurred among African Americans. According to demographer Joel Kotkin, over the last 30 years, the proportion of Black residents in Los Angeles has dropped by half. San Francisco is now just 5% Black; in 1980, it was 13%. You’ve heard a lot lately about the necessity of Black political power. In California, that power is evaporating due to mass immigration.”
So it IS about RACE. Remind me again how Blacks vote in California?
Race and Voting in California
“Most African American, Latino, and Asian American likely voters are Democrats.
https://www.ppic.org/publication/race-and-voting-in-california/
An overwhelming majority of African American likely voters (73%) and a majority of Latino (58%) and Asian American (54%) likely voters are registered as Democrats; far fewer are registered as Republicans (5% African Americans, 16% Latinos, 19% Asian Americans). Party registration among white likely voters is more evenly divided, with 40% registered as Democrats, 34% as Republicans, and 21% as independents (previously called “decline to state” and now called “no party preference” voters).”
Again, using YOUR logic, blacks would welcome more Democrat party voters.
“Democratic leaders never mention this trend, but it’s obvious to the people who live there. One poll found that almost 60% of black people in California would very much like to leave. Many already have. The exodus of American-born Californians of every color began shortly after the 1986 amnesty. It has grown to a panicked rush. It can now cost you five times as much to drive a U-Haul out of California than to drive a U-Haul in. That’s supply and demand at work. Not many Americans are moving to Los Angeles.”
The hidden toll of California’s Black exodus
“Nearly 75,000 Black Californians left the state in 2018, according to a CalMatters analysis of federal estimates, compared to 48,000 Black people who moved in.”
A net loss of 27,000 out of 2,568,294 or about 1%.
QuickFacts California
“Yet for every Californian who abandons the state, several other people arrive from foreign countries. That’s why since 1990, the total population of California has grown by 10 million people. That’s the equivalent of an entirely new Michigan and North Carolina in just 30 years. It’s an awful lot of people in a very short period of time. Most of these new arrivals come from poor places. Their standard of living rises once they get to California. The state, however, has become much poorer. In 1986, California was the richest landmass of its size in the world. California now has more poor people than any state in the country as of this year, according to the best measurements available from the federal government. California has a higher poverty rate than Mississippi, indeed the highest in the nation.”

How did a place as idyllic as California become so miserable that huge numbers of people who were born there decided to abandon their homes and flee? If you cared about the United States, you would want to know the answer and you’d want to make absolutely certain it didn’t happen anywhere else. Yet the Democratic Party is working to make certain it happens everywhere else. That’s not a slur. It’s not a guess. We know it because they brag about it constantly.”
What huge numbers? Where?
Thomas D. Elias: The myth of a great California exodus
“But lies only survive until facts emerge. And the facts don’t support the myth of a great California exodus. One magazine reported last fall that California lost more than 3 percent of its populace to other states over the last year. Not so. In fact, about 175,000 California residents moved to other states in 2020. That’s about four-tenths of one percent.”

“The left becomes unhinged if you point out that American voters are being replaced by Democratic Party loyalists from other countries. You’re absolutely not allowed to say that, but they’re allowed to say that. And they do. They say it all the time. They’ve done studies on it, written long books about it, talked about it endlessly on television, often in the ugliest racial terms. They’re not ashamed at all, they don’t think they have to be ashamed. In the fall of 2018, a columnist for The New York Times wrote a piece that was literally entitled “We Can Replace Them“.”
I am not a member of the left and I don’t become unhinged. I become disgusted at the ugliness of nativism and your open bigotry and hatred of anyone that is different from you.
Did you READ We Can Replace Them ? The argument is for voter TURNOUT, not importing new Georgians. Reading IS Fundamental! You DID read it:
“In case you wondered who the “them” was, the column told you explicitly. Thanks to demographic change, the author noted with hearty approval, the state of Georgia will soon be controlled by Democrats: “The potential is there. Georgia is less than 53 [%} non-Hispanic [W]hite”. Again, that’s a New York Times columnist, not some QAnon blogger.”
The sentence you are quoting has nothing to do with bringing new people into the state. It is just discussing the existing electorate and the need to Get The Vote Out.
“They tell you that demographic replacement is an obsession on the right. No, it’s not. They say it’s some horrifying right-wing conspiracy theory, that the right is obsessed with it. No, the left is obsessed with it. In fact, it’s the central idea of the modern Democratic Party. Demographic replacement is their obsession because it’s their path to power. In 2013, future Obama Cabinet secretary Julian Castro went on CBS to explain why Texas will soon be a Democratic state.”
Senator John Cornyn said it in a more racist way:
You seem to base your entire argument on the fact the current GOP can not attract non-white voters. Why do you hold that view? Didn’t Trump gain support from minority voters in 2020 but the college-educated white voter, especially women, were his downfall (the Non-FoxNews viewing electorate).
Trump Is Losing Ground With White Voters But Gaining Among Black And Hispanic Americans
“CASTRO: In a couple of presidential cycles, you’ll be — on Election Night, you’ll be announcing that we’re calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president. It’s changing. It’s going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth of folks from outside of Texas.“
You seem to be confusing garnering votes by being supportive of people (Democrats and minorities) with racist nativism and not trying to win over the support of minorities.
“No one attacked Julian Castro for saying that. No one asked who these “folks from outside of Texas” might be or why they had a right to control the future of people who already lived in Texas. Nobody said a word about it. It seemed normal, it was normal, it still is normal. In Washington, what qualifies as shocking is any real attempt to protect democracy.“
Perhaps because people know the immigration story of Texas in 2013?
Immigrant Population Change Over Time: Top States
What were the top five states in terms of the number of immigrants, share of immigrants in the total state population, absolute growth, and percent growth between 1990 and 2000 and between 2000 and 2013?
In 2013, the top five U.S. states by number of immigrants were California (10.3 million), New York and Texas (4.4 million each), Florida (3.8 million), and New Jersey (1.9 million).
When classified by the share of immigrants out of the total state population, the top five states in 2013 were California (27 percent), New York and New Jersey (22 percent each), and Florida and Nevada (19 percent each).
Between 1990 and 2000, the five states with the largest absolute growth of the immigrant population were California (2.4 million), Texas (1.4 million), New York (1 million), Florida (1 million), and Illinois (577,000).
Between 2000 and 2013, the five states with the largest absolute growth of the immigrant population were Texas (1.5 million), California (1.4 million), Florida (1.3 million), New York (515,000), and New Jersey (449,000).
Between 1990 and 2000, the five states with the largest percent growth* of the immigrant population were North Carolina (274 percent), Georgia (233 percent), Nevada (202 percent), Arkansas (196 percent), and Utah (171 percent).
Between 2000 and 2013, the five states with the largest percent growth* of the immigrant population were South Carolina (99 percent), Tennessee (92 percent), Kentucky (86 percent), Alabama (85 percent), and Arkansas (82 percent).
*Note: In some states, the starting population of the foreign born was quite small. Thus, relatively small absolute increases in the immigrant population in these states have translated into high percent growth.

In the summer of 2019, then-President Donald Trump promised — falsely, as it turned out — that he was going to deport huge numbers of foreign nationals living here illegally. Kamala Harris’s response to this was revealing. She could have argued, as Democrats often do, that deportation is cruel and it’s un-American. But she didn’t say that. Instead, she told the truth about it,
Trump lied a lot!
Trump’s Promise of Millions of Deportations Is Yet to Be Fulfilled
“”Let’s call this what it is,” Harris wrote on Twitter. “It’s an attempt to remake the demographics of our country by cracking down on immigrants. That this threat is coming from the president of the United States is deeply reprehensible and an affront to our values. We will fight this.””
Calling out nativism is NOT being a nativist.
“But wait a second, Trump had announced had announced he was deporting illegal aliens, who aren’t allowed to vote in our elections. They’re not even allowed to live here. How was sending them home to their own country “an attempt to remake the demographics of our country”? Illegal aliens shouldn’t even count in the demographics of our country. They’re not Americans.”
Wow! You are so ignorant of how our US Census works and you seem to be confusing Kamala Harris concerns about nativism (she never mentioned VOTING) with YOU tying immigration/demographics TO voting.
United States Census FAQ
“Are unauthorized immigrants included in the resident population counts?“
“Yes, all people (citizens and noncitizens) with a usual residence in the United States are included in the resident population for the census.”
How removing unauthorized immigrants from census statistics could affect House reapportionment
“Since the first census of the United States in 1790, counts that include both citizens and noncitizens have been used to apportion seats in the House of Representatives, with states gaining or losing based on population change over the previous decade. If unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. were removed from the 2020 census apportionment count – which the White House seeks to do – three states could each lose a seat they otherwise would have had and three others each could gain one, according to a Pew Research Center analysis based on government records.”

Supreme Court Denies Trump Administration’s Challenge to Exclude Undocumented Immigrants From Census Count
“Kamala Harris’s response only makes sense if you believe that the millions of foreigners breaking our laws to live here are future Democratic voters, and that’s exactly what she does believe. It’s shocking if you think about it, and that’s why you’re not allowed to think about it. Thinking about what Kamala Harris is planning, Kamala Harris herself would like you to know, is deeply reprehensible and an affront to our values. In other words, submit to our scheme or you’re immoral.”
Again, you are making a nativist argument that is almost as old as our nation is. Hating someone because they are different than you instead of trying to garner their vote is the epitome of immorality.
“If you heard prominent people talk like this in any other country, you’d be confused. A nation’s leadership class admitting they hope to replace their own citizens seems grotesque. If you believed in democracy, you would work to protect the potency of every citizen’s vote, obviously. You wonder if people even debate questions like this in countries that don’t hate themselves, like Japan or South Korea or Israel.”
No nation, including the United States, wants to REPLACE their OWN citizens. A lot of countries DO want to augment their population,
The EU countries that desperately need migrants to avoid shrinkage—and those that don’t
“Go to the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) website sometime if you’d like a glimpse of what an unvarnished conversation about a country’s national interest might look like. In a short essay posted to the site, the ADL explains why the state of Israel should not allow more Arabs to become citizens with voting rights:”
Reading is Fundamental! So is Comprehension.
“Some nationalist Israelis also call for a “one-state solution” whereby Israel would annex the West Bank and Gaza Strip and create one state incorporating this entire territory. Such a concept is equally unacceptable as Israel would then have to sacrifice its status as both a Jewish and democratic state. Were Israel to absorb these territories and make the residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip full citizens of Israel, demographic realities would lead to the effective end of a Jewish State of Israel. Should Israel annex these territories yet deny the non-Jewish residents full citizenship, Israel would no longer be a democratic state. Either choice is inimical to Israel’s founding ideology.
Any just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be based on two states, living side by side in peace and security.”
https://www.adl.org/education/resources/fact-sheets/response-to-common-inaccuracy-bi-national-one-state-solution
Look up the word “inimical”
Definition of inimical
“1: being adverse often by reason of hostility or malevolence forces inimical to democracy
2a: having the disposition of an enemy : HOSTILE inimical factions
b: reflecting or indicating hostility : UNFRIENDLY his father’s inimical glare””
“”With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world,” the ADL explains, “Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state, thus likely ending any semblance of equal representation and protections. In this situation, the Jewish population would be increasingly politically — and potentially physically — vulnerable.”
Talking about taking words out of context! You left this out:
“Furthermore, bi-nationalism is unworkable given current realities and historic animosities. With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state, thus likely ending any semblance of equal representation and protections. In this situation, the Jewish population would be increasingly politically – and potentially physically – vulnerable.”
https://www.adl.org/node/11976/resource-pdf
“”It is unrealistic and unacceptable,” the ADL continues, “to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory.””
Again, you didn’t bother to share the THESIS of the opinion piece, or the last sentence:
“Any just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be based on two states, living side by side in peace and security.”
https://www.adl.org/node/11976/resource-pdf
Let me REPEAT the Thesis:
“Were Israel to absorb these territories and make the residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip full
https://www.adl.org/node/11976/resource-pdf
citizens of Israel, demographic realities would lead to the effective end of a Jewish State of Israel. Should Israel annex these territories yet deny the non-Jewish residents full citizenship, Israel would no longer be a democratic state. Either choice is inimical to Israel’s founding ideology.”
“Now, from Israel’s perspective, this makes perfect sense. Why would any democratic nation make its own citizens less powerful? Isn’t that the deepest betrayal of all? In the words of the ADL, why would a government subvert its own sovereign existence? Good question. Maybe ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt will join “Tucker Carlson Tonight” some time to explain and tell us whether that same principle applies to the United States. Most Americans believe it does. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t have a say in the matter.”
The ADL is NOT making the argument you are thinking they are making.
“Most Americans aren’t even allowed to have the conversation. So they watch from the sidelines as their democracy is murdered by people who claim to be its defenders. “Democracy! Democracy! Democracy!” screams the Twitter mob, even as the votes of the people who were born here declined steadily in value — diluted and increasingly worthless, like the U.S. dollar. This is what it looks like when an entire native population — Black and White, but every one of them an American — is systematically disenfranchized. Middle class Americans become less powerful every year. They have less economic power, and thanks to mass immigration, they now have less political power. The leaders making these changes have no sympathy for their victims. They blame the country for its own suffering. You always hate the people you hurt.”

What Georgia’s new voting law really does — 9 facts
Sadly, Georgia GOP does not want to be embarrassed/let down by a Georgia HONEST GOP Secretary of State. They want a mechanism to control blue counties (Fulton comes to mind).
“Middle class Americans become less powerful every year. They have less economic power, and thanks to mass immigration, they now have less political power.”
Immigration has nothing to do with this. Citizens United v FEC, Growing Income Inequality,
and the latest GOP Tax Cut are to blame.
“That’s all true. Every honest person knows that it’s true. As long as we’re here, we’re going to keep saying it out loud.”
Honest people know you are wrong. Only your viewership believes this.

Tucker Carlson says he ‘never figured out what critical race theory is,’ despite repeatedly bashing it on his show over the past year
The Real Source of America’s Rising Rage
“Finally, Fox News also has an effect on what the mainstream news media reports, helping to spread conservative arguments far and wide. Remember the IRS “targeting” scandal of 2013? It was a routine news story until Fox News made it a cause celebre. Then it started to dominate the airwaves. More recently, critical race theory was an academic obscurity until Fox suddenly decided to give it the treatment earlier this year. Now you can hardly click your mouse without coming across yet another article or op-ed about it.”
“And it was this same conviction that led Tucker Carlson to claim, just this past April, “I have less political power because they’re importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that?” Carlson was echoing the zero-sum logic that white reactionaries have spouted for more than a century.”
I heard “There goes the neighborhood!” growing up in Alabama in the 1960s. That is Tucker’s refrain today.
How Would Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Have Affected His Own Team
“Tucker Carlson
“Why does America benefit from having tons of people from failing countries come here?” Fox News personality Tucker Carlson asked on Twitter last year.Well, though Carlson was apparently estranged from his biological mother, sketching out her tree led to the memoirs of Carlson’s great-great grandfather Cesar Lombardi, who wrote about how the “narrowness of opportunities” in Switzerland created a “violent desire” for him to “seek my fortune in foreign parts.” He landed in New York on November 1, 1860.”
Tucker Carlson’s descent into white supremacy: A timeline
Tucker Carlson embraces white-supremacist ‘replacement’ conspiracy theory, claiming Democrats are ‘importing’ immigrants to ‘dilute’ American voters
- “Fox News host Tucker Carlson endorsed the white supremacist “Great Replacement” theory during his Thursday night program.
- He claimed Democrats are “importing a brand new electorate” of “Third World” immigrants to “dilute” Americans’ political power.
- Human rights advocates and other critics denounced Carlson’s comments as an explicit embrace of white nationalism.”
A 24-year-old on the nightshift unearthed the Tucker Carlson tapes that have engulfed the Fox News host
- “Fox News host Tucker Carlson is facing intense criticism over decade-old comments he made disparaging women, immigrants, black people, and others on a “shock jock” radio program.
- The clips were unearthed by a 24-year-old researcher at the progressive watchdog group Media Matters for America.
- The Fox host refused to apologize for the offensive comments on Monday, saying the audio releases are an attack on free speech.”

Penn Law professor Amy Wax’s anti-Asian comments spark national scrutiny
“A petition calling on Penn to suspend law professor Amy Wax and reform the University’s tenure policy has garnered more than 800 signatures, ignited by Wax’s scrutinized claims that “the United States is better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration.
Wax, who joined Penn Law in 2001, said in a recent interview with Brown University professor Glenn Loury that the immigration of “Asian elites” to the United States is problematic because of their support of the Democratic Party. Nearly two weeks after the Dec. 20 interview, Penn Law School Dean Ted Ruger released a statement criticizing Wax’s comments as “thoroughly anti-intellectual and racist.””
Of Course Penn Is Complicit in Amy Wax’s Racism. Of Course Penn Should Fire Her.
“Every time Amy Wax proves that she’s a racist, Penn props her up. Its complicity has to stop.”
Sad:
Critical Race Theory is the latest @GOP Mantra because “Wall!” and “Repeal and Replace” and “Drain the Swamp” won’t work.
