The Bulwark: ‘Open Season’: Local Republicans Rush to Out-Trump Trump on Immigration

We are in a Second Gilded Age.

The signs of it are really everywhere now: the reaction against woke progressivism (just as the country turned against Reconstruction), the rise of immigration restriction (the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882), the reversion to the spoils system (the Pendleton Civil Service Act was passed in 1883), Trump’s tariffs, the renewed interest in the Panama Canal and dominating the Western hemisphere, the rightwing turn of the Supreme Court which has entered a new Lochner era, and so on.

Looking at the South, the Democratic Party is now in a death spiral across the region, and thanks to ice breaking Supreme Court decisions like Dobbs we can see neo-Jim Crow laws are beginning to sprout on abortion, transgenderism and immigration. After the 20th century when triumphant liberals got away with imposing massive top down changes from above in the 1950s and 1960s, we are rapidly returning to the time when different regions of the country had their own social systems.

The Bulwark:

“Now, thanks to Republicans in Mississippi and Missouri, the rules of bounty hunting could be applied to undocumented immigrants. Prospective laws in each state would allow residents to receive $1,000 a pop, to be paid if a tip on someone in the country illegally leads to an arrest. Meanwhile, the Tackling and Reforming Unlawful Migration Policy Act—yes, the TRUMP Act—became Florida law yesterday; among other things, it provides for any law enforcement officer who assists in the arrest of a person in the state illegally to receive a $1,000 bonus. It turns out you can act as a bounty hunter even while wearing the uniform of the state.

The outsourcing and incentivizing of immigration enforcement extends beyond there. In Oklahoma, the state board of education approved collecting the immigration status of children when parents enroll them. In Tennessee, lawmakers are zeroing in on the cost of educating undocumented children with their own TRUMP Act—in this case, the Tennessee Reduction of Unlawful Migrant Placement, the Washington Post reported.

The ultimate goal in these cases is not just to up the number of detentions but to challenge the landmark 1982 Plyler v. Doe ruling, which holds that states cannot constitutionally deny students a free public education due to their immigration status.

In Texas, state Republicans are looking to have law enforcement fingerprint children so the Department of Public Safety can maintain a database of kids under 18 suspected to be in the country illegally, which follows a slew of anti-immigrant legislation the state has moved forward since Trump’s win. …”

A few years after Dobbs, abortion access is now restricted in every Southern state except Virginia. Southern state legislatures are on the warpath against transgenderism. Public opinion has shifted and the Supreme Court has already signaled that “trans rights” is poised to take a major L this term.

With Trump back in the White House with a clear mandate, the Supreme Court racing to the Right, Republican trifectas and supermajorities in most Southern states and a radicalized conservative base, Southern state legislatures are going to town on illegal aliens and proposing and passing all sorts of new laws to make it impossible for illegal aliens to live here. Texas and Florida have already been deputized to enforce federal immigration laws. Florida and Tennessee have passed their own TRUMP Acts. Mississippi and Missouri might soon be privatizing immigration enforcement by hiring bounty hunters.

Trump’s whirlwind of executive orders and news has overshadowed the whirlwind of legislation that is playing out at the state level in the South.

Note: Meanwhile, Bondi’s DOJ is suing New York and Illinois over immigration.

  1. Instead of focusing on catching and deporting, focus on taking away their driver’s licenses, green cards, social security numbers, welfare benefits, food stamps, free housing, and everything else that Biden gave them to entice them to come. Arrest and prosecute the people working at the NGOs that advertised in Africa and S America to attract illegal immigrants and pay for their plane tics to Mexico so they could then walk across.

  2. Local power is utmost important. First it gives nationalist politicans stable income to make nazism 24/7.

    Second, it turns country Afghanistan. Or little moderate like Hungary. One reason why Orban is in power, is the Soros knowledge that removing Orban gives him very little. There will be local resistance on every level and land will burn under his feet.

    A lot of Eastern Europe operates this way. We may call it our deep state or swamp but if Soros puts his cronies into Government then every last local institution will work against this Government, so nothing gets done.

    This works extremely well. In the 2015, in the whole Europe there was Merkel made immigration disaster. Millions came in. Yet Eastern European local resistance worked so effecticely, no housing no comfort , only bad things. Finally they pushed less than 1000 migrants into my country and resistance made stay so toxic and hostile that almost all those refugees left.

    So it is good idea try to man every local institution with nationalists.

  3. “undocumented immigrants”

    I hate that term, it’s so deceitful.
    It should be ‘criminal aliens’, they are hear steal citizenship, stealing jobs, stealing benefits.

    “undocumented immigrants” is a term that has been seeded and cultivated by the((( media))).

  4. The most infuriating thing is witnessing illegals and protesters holding up the flags of the nations they refuse to return too, whilst burning the flag of the one they wish to remain in. Oh the irony…
    White European Christians made North America what it is. It belongs to them, not Mexicans, Jews, Muslims, Asians, etc.
    They change countries, then attempt to change your country.
    The Left is a criminal enterprise aiding and abetting all this without the consent of the masses.

    • “protesters holding up the flags of the nations they refuse to return to”

      Perfect proof that this is an invasion, they are carrying their battle flag.

  5. This is welcome news. Its not surprising. Its what we’ve been pushing for years. This is why the South is America. This is why the South now predominates in America. This is why the South will not secede from America for now. Instead, this is why the South must become the leader of Conservative National Populism.

    To begin making this a reality, Southerners from the ground up must become organized around ethnic identity, localism, and their shared history as British Protestant Colonial Settlers. The later is the gateway for forming alliances with our ethnic cousins in the North and West and beyond throughout the Anglosphere. To ensure our continued dominance, establishing kinship groups, ethno-religious associations, business alliances, and entertainment collectives is an absolute requirement. Legal discrimination favoring Southerners for elected and appointed office of public trust or profit in law and Constitution is vital. A Southern or State Natural born citizenship requirements for elected office will subdue growing foreign interests. Simultaneously, subsidizing, promoting, and exporting Southern arts, crafts, cuisines, and memorializing Southern history from now into the Civil War and beyond to Colonial times, and instructing this in education and public broadcasts will revitalize Southern culture.

    Unless these things are done, what superior position the South now has in National affairs will rapidly collapse. Just as in the West, we saw superior position, including with the election of Californian Ronald Reagan, the South will quickly be changed unless it cements its ethno-relgious population into supremacy. Note, today the entire Western region of the US, is majority non-White. The South is down from 77% in 1990 to a bare majority of 54% today. This is why Georgia and North Carolina are purple states and Virginia is blue. Use the power we have now and secure the future of our posterity. Otherwise it will vanish in 10 plus years.

  6. > ..we are rapidly returning to the time when different regions of the country had their own social systems.

    Whodathunkit? This administration seems to have genuinely rediscovered the fact that the country is a federal republic, not a unitary one. Maybe after fully eviscerating the Federal govermnet they will finally revert to using the correct plural sense of “the United States are” in official documents & pronouncements.

    If the Californicators want to continue as a sanctuary state for mentally ill self mutilators & women who wish to kill their unborn children, they should be allowed to do so. The country as a whole will probably benefit from an ongoing salutatory lesson in how rule by the Democrat zoo destroys a society.
