They dominate the executive suite. Parag Agrawal, CEO of Twitter, is just the latest Indian-born executive to rise to the top spot at a U.S. tech company. The heads of IBM, Nokia, Adobe, Pepsi, Google, Microsoft, and Mastercard are from India. Unsurprisingly, since 2009, the United States  has issued more than 1.7 million H-1B visas, 65 percent of which have gone to Indians. Obviously these hard-working immigrants are taking jobs no one wants! According to a detailed 2016 analysis of Asian voters, Indians are a solid Democrat constituency. Only 7 percent of Indians identify with the GOP, while 73 percent of Asians have a favorable view of the Democratic Party. In the general election, just 7 percent of Indians voted for Donald Trump.  But party affiliation is just one problem w

As yet another caravan of “migrants” marches toward the southern border like a relentless column of ravenous army ants, the Biden Regime and its lackeys in the Lügenpresse insist that the “Great Replacement” is a “conspiracy theory.” But the demographic transformation of the United States is not only quite real but also escalating while Americans watch helplessly. Let’s look at the data. The Border Patrol has encountered more than 1.2 million illegal aliens so far in fiscal 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show. And as of the end of April, the regime has released nearly 950,000 aliens into the interior. Indeed, far from trying to stop illegal immigration, the regime is importing illegals as fast as it can. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban-Jewish immigrant, has repeatedly said he will not deport illegals and openly brags about ignoring statutory mandates that require authorities to detain them. 

Careening deep into middle age and having reared three children to (near) adulthood, I find myself  pondering more frequently how the world has changed, making even the recent past a distant and foreign country. I grew up in southwestern Michigan.  Kalamazoo to be precise.  Find Detroit and Chicago on a map and draw an imaginary line connecting the dots.  Stop halfway along this mythical line–which  is really Interstate 94–and you will be in Kalamazoo.    I was born in 1971.  My family was pretty standard–dad, mom and three kids (no dogs…mom never liked dogs).  Dad was a school teacher in a little town about 45-minutes to the west where he was born and raised.  He also did some painting during the summer to supplement the family income.  Mom took care of us.  In truth, while dad was a wonderful man that I admire intensely, he would have been lost in countless ways without mom’s grounded common sense.  My brothers were seven and eight years older than me, having been born just 368 days

Cross-posted at American Remnant In coping with identity crisis,”  Samuel Huntington wrote  in  Clash of Civilizations , “what counts for people are blood and belief, faith and family. People will rally to those with similar ancestry, religion, language, values, and institutions and distance themselves from those with different ones. … In a very fluid world, people are looking for roots and connections to defend themselves against the unknown.” At root, politics is about identity, not ideas — and demography is destiny. Transform the make-up of a people and you transform their politics. The ideological politics of the post-WWII period was an aberration and rested upon a largely homogeneous racial and cultural foundation.  Spurred by the forces of modernization and dislocation, politics is being reconfigured. “Red State” and “Blue State” America are increasingly two different nations divided along racial, ethnic, and religious grounds.  The strongest GOP constituencies include Mormons, W
