Deep Freeze

Illegal immigrants, Immigration, Trumpism

No, this isn’t a post about winter weather.  It’s about this:

President Donald Trump’s deputies have shut down the legal migration pathways for people from 19 countries, pending the completion of security checks and interviews.

And about damn time too.  When the “huddled masses” want to come over here to avail themselves of our freedoms, solely to commit crimes… we owe it to ourselves to try to stop them before they get going.

(After these ingrates commit their little nefarious wealth redistribution games, however:


…I think you get the picture.)

Just to be clear, the nineteen affected countries are:

Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.

Basically, a bunch of Muzzy and Commie countries, the lot of them, and while some of their citizens may be fleeing those shitholes for all the right reasons — and I have a great deal of sympathy for their plight, for obvious reasons — all refugees and prospective citizens should absolutely require serious (i.e. non-Biden-style) vetting to make sure that the ungodly don’t try to sneak in to, say, set up a drug network, rape women, embezzle the welfare system or murder National Guardsmen.

When I think of all the hassle and scrutiny we went through with New Wife’s citizenship a couple of years back — she having done nothing other than teach children for nearly forty years — it sticks in my craw that during that same Biden presidency, a whole bunch of criminal scumbags were given the keys to the house because… well, just because.

And yes I know, some genuine refugees are going to be inconvenienced by this deep freeze.  But that’s the nature of laws:  the innocent get shafted by the need to contain the criminals (see for an example: every single useless gun control law).

The Usual Suspects

Anti-Gun Nannies, Crime

Probably the only scenes I found objectionable in the classic movie Casablanca  was when Inspector Renault utters the line: “Round up the usual suspects.”

Of course, in the context of the movie, the line is heavily ironic not to say satirical because Renault knows exactly who the criminals are, but he deflects suspicion away from Rick Blaine by saying that.

In reality, however, rounding up the usual suspects is not only sound police procedure, it generally solves about 90% of the crime, as seen here (and read it all because it’s good):

Almost every perpetrator of horrific crimes is a “known wolf.” Most of the violent crime in our society is committed by a very small group of easily identified criminals, and most of them have had many interactions with law enforcement over the years.

Violent crime in U.S. cities is not evenly spread. Not culturally. Not geographically. Not mathematically.

It’s concentrated – absurdly concentrated – in fractions of fractions of the population.  This isn’t ideology. It’s decades of DOJ, PD, and academic data all pointing at the same tiny cluster:

• ~0.5% of residents linked to 50–70% of shootings
• Most homicide suspects have 8–12+ prior arrests
• Victims usually know their attackers
• Violence clusters block-to-block, not citywide

We all know this, but when I say “we”, I’m referring to people who live in the here and now and can read statistics unencumbered by dreamy and mistaken dogma and its mantras, e.g. “Ban guns and violent crime will end” or some such crap.

Honestly?  I’m heartily sick of talking about this because I’ve banged on about it so often in the past that I don’t want to talk about it ever again.

But as long as these assholes keep on with their bullshit, the more I feel I have to rebut it, again and again and again and fucking again.

I think it’s time I let off some steam, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the range.

Immorality Punished

Psychos

I for one am glad that Lawn Ordure are at last taking this kind of thing seriously:

Eleanor Brown, 22, spent the past year locked up behind bars after sharing explicit images of her policeman father’s former mistress to an escort website, where she even created a fake profile of the woman.

Brown also sent racy photos of her father’s ex-lover to her victim’s husband, and exposed the affair – which had taken place years earlier – to her daughter. 

No doubt this heartless bitch thought that there was some justification for her to do so appalling a thing, or maybe she just did it for spite:  I neither know nor care.

What I am glad of is what happened to her:

But her revenge plan backfired when police were called in, and the young woman lost her job, home, and her six-year relationship.

In October 2024, Leeds Crown Court sentenced Brown, from Morley, West Yorkshire, to three years in prison. This was then reduced to two years on appeal.

Brown, described by a judge as ‘vindictive, selfish and vengeful’ served just 12 months before being released on license and she now has to wear an electronic tag on her ankle.

Speaking to The Sun, she explained that she regrets her decisions, but insists that at the time she did not realise that she was breaking the law.

Of course, she’s tried to dismiss it all as a harmless bit of fun:

‘I now realise how terrifying it must have been for the woman, but I was never on a mission to cause maximum harm. I was just poking fun and I ended up in prison,’ she said.

She should have been whipped at the post before being imprisoned, the foul bitch.

People who screw with others’ private lives need to be severely punished, and not excused.

And that includes ex-lovers who do this kind of thing to “get back” at their erstwhile partners, or just out of jealousy.  Les crimes passionels  are inexcusable in any way shape or form, regardless of what the French — no examples of morality, they — may think.

And acts of pure spite (like this one) need chastisement (like this one).

Replacement Workers

Good Stuff, Illegal immigrants

I have to say that Jamie Wilson has just been clearing the fences recently.  Here’s her latest:

“Americans just won’t do these jobs.” That phrase infuriated me from the first time I heard it. I knew it was a lie. I had done the tobacco work myself. My brothers had. Every teenager we knew had. Every adult performed the hard labor that kept the region alive. Americans didn’t suddenly lose their work ethic. The jobs were taken from them — not by immigrants directly, but by American employers who built a business model on illegal labor and by a federal government that looked the other way for forty years.

What Americans “won’t do” are jobs that have been made illegal in everything but name — jobs where wages have collapsed to exploit desperation, where safety standards are ignored, where workers are paid off the books, where insurance and taxes are bypassed, and where living conditions violate every regulation on the books. When the floor is lowered that far, legal workers cannot enter the market at all. That isn’t laziness. That’s math.

And her supporting arguments are terrific.  Read the whole article.

I remember when #2 Son was looking for some minimum-wage work back when he was in his late teens.  At the time, he was living in Dallas, and when I asked how things were going, work-wise, his response was:  “I just can’t compete with all the Mexicans who are willing to work well below the minimum wage.”

Eventually he quit that, and fortunately found his niche in online gaming quality control, but had to move down to Austin, enduring a few years of contract work — chicken and feathers income — before he finally found a full-time job at a company which was later bought out and became a division of Sony.

And I know that I published a stupid article on the topic of illegal alien workers a while back, and I cringe when I think of it.  (And yes, I was crucified in the Comments by y’all, and deservedly so.  I don’t know what I was thinking.)

Anyway, I see that as ICE is starting to do their job and deporting illegals, American workers are benefiting greatly.

So I guess they were prepared to to “those jobs”, despite the lies uttered by the Democrats over the years.

Who Are They, Again?

Illegal immigrants

I see that the Fish-Eaters wrote something called a “pastoral letter” telling their fellow-travelers that we shouldn’t be deporting illegal immigrants.

Of course, being the modern-day Catholic Church, they couldn’t do that without resorting to a big fat lie, i.e. that ICE is deporting people “indiscriminately”, which of course they aren’t.  In fact, it’s amazing how precisely-targeted ICE deportations have become, going after the convicted criminals as a first priority.  In this, they have been quite successful, ridding the country of a motley collection of rapists, thieves, murderers, drug-dealers and child-traffickers, to name but some of the more egregious criminal career choices.  That along the way ICE has also scooped up some lower-level miscreants — illegal immigrants who’ve only committed that one crime — is not something to be deplored, despite the ecclesiastical wails of the Catholic bishops.

And it didn’t take long before there was an official response, delivered as it happened by a lifelong Catholic.

Glenn Reynolds is of the growing opinion that it’s time to abolish the tax-free status of all “nonprofit” organized institutions, and I’m very much in agreement.  Given how much the various buffet options of Christianity have supported, encouraged and enabled the mass influx of illegal immigrants — Catholics, Lutherans, whatever — I wouldn’t have a single problem if Congress were to pass a law not only prosecuting such efforts, but fining the organizations with proportionate sums to compensate the states for the expenses of providing said illegal immigrants with education, housing and welfare.  (California, New York, Illinois and those of that ilk would be welcome to turn down such penalty income, but I bet they wouldn’t.)

We’ll see how long the various churches would continue this nonsense as their bank accounts rapidly emptied.

Not even the Vatican is that wealthy.

Crime, Elections

It seems as though some people — quite a lot, really — have been Very Naughty and fraudulently voted in more than one election and on more than one occasion in each election.

Ohio Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose on Tuesday announced that he has referred more than 1,200 criminal cases related to election integrity to the Department of Justice for consideration of federal prosecution.

The state election official’s recommendations include 1,084 noncitizens who appear to have registered to vote unlawfully in Ohio, including 167 noncitizens who appear to have voted in a federal election in the past four election cycles.

LaRose said nearly 100 other people also appeared to have voted in a federal election twice in two separate states, and 16 people who allegedly voted twice in Ohio in the same election.

And if this has happened in Ohio, I’d suggest that it’s happened more often and for a longer time in garden spots like California, Illinois and New York, to name just the most likely suspects off the top of my head.

Of course, voting fraud is an actual felony, but if you think that anyone is going to see the inside of a jail cell for this crime, I would suggest that it’s time for you to go and clean out your unicorn’s stable.

As to which party might have benefited from all this skulduggery… let’s just say that I’m not accepting bets.
