Trump Embraces Remigration

On Thanksgiving Day, Donald Trump gave me something to be thankful for.

On the day before Thanksgiving, an Afghani refugee named Rahmanullah Lakanwal shot two national guardsmen about two blocks from the White House. U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, age 20, is dead. Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, age 28, remains in critical condition. Liberals naturally blamed Trump for deploying the National Guard in the first place. Policing crime-prone Democrat constituencies is, after all, the definition of racism. You can’t expect colored people not to shoot or stab. You can only blame white people for getting in the way.

Lakanwal was one of the many Afghani collaborators whom the Biden regime welcomed to America in 2021 after the pathetic collapse of America’s Afghan puppet government. Biden, of course, had many Republican collaborators, for this was a chance for the likes of Dan Crenshaw to sell the Great Replacement, this time wrapped as patriotism.

But Lakanwal was not just an innocent clerk or translator. He was some sort of triggerman or torturer. He was a member of the so-called “Zero Units,” which acquired a reputation for war crimes. Despite being resettled in America—with his wife and five children—he felt abandoned by the regime. His PTSD didn’t help either.

Lakanwal was settled in Bellingham, Washington, a quaint college town near the Canadian border. These landmines are everywhere in America, sometimes detonating at the slightest cultural misunderstanding. They could be only a few feet from any of us right now: at the next table in a restaurant or one seat behind you on the bus. So be sure to be extra nice to everyone, whitey.

The notion that Afghani refugees were noble freedom fighters is a myth. Wherever they show up in the West, Afghanis are among the most violent, criminal, and parasitic communities. Those being settled in America are usually here because they betrayed their own people on some level. And if a man turns his coat once, he’s a lot more likely to do so again. The conspiratorial have suggested that the attack was a CIA psyop. But you don’t need an elaborate plan to get violence from treasonous war criminals with PTSD. It is just a matter of time.

Nearly 200,000 Afghanis have been settled in America since 2021. As Afghani-American commentator Basil often points out, the best argument for normalizing relations with the Taliban government of Afghanistan is to pave the way for mass Afghani repatriation.

On Thanksgiving, in response to the shooting, Trump made one of his rambling Truth Social posts. Despite shooting from the hip, he made several good points:

• According to the census, there are 53 million foreigners in America “most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
• “The real migrant population is much higher.”
• “A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family.”
• “Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many.”

Trump then moved on to solutions. He vowed to:

• “Permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries”
• “Terminate the millions of Biden’s illegal admissions”
• “Remove anyone who is not a net asset or can’t love the country”
• “End all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country”
• “Denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization”

Most importantly, Trump ended by saying “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”

That’s right, the idea of “remigration” has now moved from the margins of the White Nationalist movement to the President of the United States.

Martin Sellner, who actually wrote the book on Remigration, posted: “All of this is in my book. In Germany, Donald Trump would be put on trial and prosecuted as an enemy of the state for this.”

This was a metapolitical win, which is worth celebrating. Trump blasted several of our most important talking points to a large audience, thereby normalizing them. Thank you, President Trump.

It is important to appreciate that this is a win for us, even if Trump himself does nothing to follow through on it, or if his policies are undermined by incompetence or sabotage, or if his efforts are blocked or reversed by the Left. Why? Because ideas matter. Because changing what we think and say comes before actual policy changes. If enough people want remigration, it will happen, even if Trump is not the one who starts it.

Trump has a pattern of promising big—especially in reaction to major events—and not following through. This goes well beyond being impeded by rogue judges issuing frivolous injunctions. Trump failed to crush the Left even after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The FBI remains unreformed even after attempting to destroy Trump and his followers.

Trump’s pattern of talk without action is dangerous because it antagonizes the Left without destroying them. That’s the exact opposite of Machiavelli’s advice to treat men generously or destroy them completely, because they take revenge for minor injuries, but they can’t take revenge for crippling ones.

Fortunately, there has been some follow through in the last week.

First, the administration has paused all asylum adjudications and will begin review of all Biden era decisions. This is good, but those whose applications have been paused should wait for adjudication in another country. Really any country will do.

Second, the administration clarified what it means by “Third World” by pausing work authorizations, green cards, naturalization, and family sponsorships for nationals from nineteen countries: Burma, Burundi, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Yemen. Also, Biden-era approvals from these countries are up for review. Kristi Noem and Karoline Leavitt have said more countries will be added to the list.

This is a great start, but it leaves out such countries as India and Mexico.

Trump has kept up the war of words, focusing on America’s Somali migrant population, a group that is every bit as undesirable as the Afghanis.

On Tuesday, December 2, at the close of a White House Cabinet Meeting, Trump said:

Look, we’ve got a big problem up in Minnesota with these Somalians. They’ve ripped off the state for billions—COVID money, welfare, you name it. And where’s it going? Right back to al-Shabab, those terrorists in Somalia. Somalia stinks, folks. It’s a hellhole. No good for a reason. These people come here from hell, and what do they do? They complain, they bitch, they do nothing but take. They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you. We don’t want garbage in our country. When they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it. Somalia stinks and we don’t want them in our country. And Ilhan Omar? She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren’t people who work. These aren’t people who say, ‘Let’s go, come on, let’s make this place great.’ We could go one way or the other, and we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. She’s garbage. . . . So we’re fixing it. ICE is going in. Deport them. Send them back. Make Minnesota great again. That’s it. Meeting adjourned.

On Wednesday, December 3, Trump had a chance to back down but instead doubled down. When asked if he stood by the previous day’s comments on Somalis, Trump said:

Stand by? I stand by 100%. Look, Somalia is considered by many to be the worst country on earth. Failed state. Terrorists everywhere. And these people come here, they’ve destroyed Minnesota. It’s a hellhole right now. The Somalians should be out of here. They’ve destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. Fraud, stealing our money, sending it back to fund al-Shabab. Billions! We know it. Treasury’s looking into it. And Ilhan Omar? She shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman, and I’m sure people are looking at that. She should be thrown the hell out of our country. . . . Garbage, I tell you. We’re pausing all applications from Somalia and 18 other dumps like it. No more. Deportations starting this week. Minneapolis? We’re cleaning it up. ICE strike teams—100 agents. They violated the law, they’re gone. Simple as that. America First.

I felt that Christmas had come early.

The President of the United States just referred to a Third World Muslim migrant population as “garbage” and said that he wanted them deported to their homeland, and you’re blackpilling?

While Trump’s fury is surely sincere on some level, he may also be pivoting from his breakup with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene over the Epstein files, Zionism, the economy, and ironically immigration. It seems very similar to Elon Musk’s pivot to the grooming gangs after losing the Great Christmas H-1B War. It could be an attempt to woo back his disaffected base. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, because it shows that our opinions matter. If we know the right buttons to push, we can get what we want. I intend to keep bringing up the Epstein list until we have mass remigration.

Always be chimping.
