Hey everyone, welcome back to Unfit to Print.
I was in New York City doing TV when the inevitable happened — Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of the city. I spent most of the day yesterday taking the train home and recording Free Media, so this morning I finally got to write down some thoughts on the communist takeover of the city.
MAMDANI IS PROOF WE HAVE A LEGAL IMMIGRANT PROBLEM
“The problem isn’t legal immigrants, it’s just illegal immigrants. We love legal immigration!”
That’s what the GOP says in response to claims from the left that they are anti-immigrant because they support border security and deportations. I get the impulse, and I’m sure I’ve probably said it reflexively during some on-camera debate.
But … wow, how stupid.
There is an obvious problem with legal immigrants in this country. Trump said it a decade ago: THEY’RE NOT SENDING THEIR BEST. And America is gladly accepting NOT THE BEST.
Before we get into the Mamdani election, let me tell you a quick little anecdote about living in Northern Virginia. About a quarter of our residents are immigrants, according to the Commonwealth Institute. There are perks to this, namely that we have really good Peruvian chicken joints.
But driving anywhere is like the Wild West.
You’re cruising along and you see a back windshield sticker that says in all caps, “STUDENT DRIVER.” If you’re from a small town, you’re probably thinking, Oh, how cute, a teenager learning to drive! NO. 99% of the time it’s an immigrant threatening to sideswipe an entire row of cars because they are about to miss their exit, or to slam on their brakes in the middle of the highway for no particular reason.
It’s literal insanity. But our motorist problem in NoVa is nothing compared to the real problems we’re seeing with legal immigrants throughout the country. There are DSA-backed immigrant candidates running for local office who hold rallies in foreign languages, claim to be in the country illegally, and don’t “really care” if kids access sexually explicit material.
Many of the immigrants who came to the U.S. recently are entitled, refuse to assimilate, bitch incessantly, hate American values and resent our Judeo-Christian traditions. Just look at Mehdi Hasan complaining that people don’t want the Muslim call to prayer blaring through the neighborhoods five times a day.
This brings us to Mamdani’s win Tuesday night. Pre-election polls showed Mamdani crushing with foreign-born voters, who make up roughly 37% of the city. NBC News exit polls similarly show that Mamdani performed best with people who have lived in New York City (note: this includes immigrants and transplants from around the country) for ten years or less. Mamdani is an immigrant himself, of course.
That’s why his insistence that his “auntie” was the real victim of 9/11, his trashing of the NYPD, and his idiotic promises of a socialist utopia to fix real affordability problems don’t raise any red flags for these voters. They have zero historical knowledge or respect for New York City’s cultural traditions.
I don’t know how we can better screen legal immigrants. I’m not a policy analyst. That would be a good thing for the Heritage Foundation to work on if it wasn’t busy planning Shabbat dinners. But I can tell you that what we’re doing now isn’t working. If we want to save this country, we need to get really serious about making sure the people who are coming here are not only the “best and brightest” but are 100% on board with the American project. Anything less and you’re going back.
WHAT ELSE IS ON MY RADAR
Geoff stole what I was originally going to write about — Mamdani being for the “student debt class” rather than the “working class” — but he did a good job with it, so we’ll let it slide. Give it a read.
