The pro-amnesty Republicans are not just failing to read the room – they’re failing to read the entire house and most of the neighborhood. It’s insane that in 2026 we still have a substantial number of Republican Party politicians who still don’t understand that the GOP base is done tolerating the invasion of Third World foreigners in our country, uninvited intruders who are changing its culture, committing crimes, and taking our money. We don’t want a reasonable solution. We’re not looking for an immigration compromise. We want them gone. Out. Adios.

What’s so hard about that to understand?

Well, apparently everything, because there’s yet another amnesty proposal floating around, pushed by GOP politicians eager to shrimp the toes of their Chamber of Commerce donors. This particular one has to do with agricultural workers. Our farmers are generally fine people, but they’re not so fine that we’re willing to tolerate them maintaining a millions-strong serf class in our country, with their well-below-the-limbo-bar wages supplemented by federal benefits, just so they don’t have to pay a decent wage to fellow Americans. Yes, I know it’s a hassle to have to pay Americans what they’re worth, and I understand it is economically preferable to import some peasant from El Hodurguataexico to do the strawberry picking. I also get why big corporations want H-1B visas so they can import Indians to do all the STEM jobs we told kids they were going to get when we encouraged them to take out student loans. Pure economic convenience is infinitely less important than maintaining our culture, our budget, and our safety.

To us patriots, our country is more than just an Excel spreadsheet.

The economic argument is one of the two big arguments for GOP-supported amnesty. We America First types like free trade and capitalism, but we understand that neither of them exists in the pure form we’re expected to pretend exists when it comes to illegal aliens and only illegal aliens. Have you noticed that it’s the same people who are demanding the free flow of labor who absolutely refuse, in the context of tariffs, to allow us to use trade restrictions to retaliate against those foreign countries that refuse to let Americans trade freely? Weird how all obligations are unilateral and only we bear them. And as for capitalism, capitalism is not a bunch of giant corporations doing whatever they want however they want regardless of the effects on our country.

And the effects are huge. Have you had your car hit by illegal aliens driving around in crappy cars........
