The horrific attack on Beckstrom and Wolfe is the direct result of a Biden-era program that rolled out the red carpet for a pipeline of Afghan migrants. Notice that I didn’t say “unvetted” migrants, which implies that there’s such a thing as a “vetted” Afghan migrant. It is, of course, impossible to vet a potential migrant from Afghanistan with any acceptable degree of accuracy. All Afghan migrants are by definition unvetted.
As we yet again pay dearly for an immigration system that benefits foreigners at the expense of Americans, we should be asking one question: What is a country?

Notice a pattern? I became a single-issue voter during Barack Obama’s second term as America’s continued demographic transformation made discussions about any other issue pointless by comparison. Unless one ignores incontestable demographic voting patterns because they make one uncomfortable, one must accept the fact that immigration determines the outcome of every political issue.
For as much as the left hates truth, Democrats embraced and bragged about demographic truisms and the ensuing political consequences, then ruthlessly used those realities to their advantage. Between 1965 and 2025, there were 15 presidential elections. Of those 15 elections, how many times did black or Hispanic demographic groups vote as a majority for the Republican nominee? Zero. Asian Americans favored the GOP in 1992 — the first year they were accounted for as a separate group in exit polls — but the majority have voted Democrat every year since.
As much as I wish that weren’t true, it cannot be ignored. Do you think the left hasn’t noticed this? Do you think it’s a coincidence that Democrats are willing to import Somalis, Afghans, and Haitians but had a panic attack when we accepted a whopping 59 white refugees from South Africa?

Except for the region where modern man first emerged, every place on the planet is populated by people whose ancestors originally came from somewhere else. America is not unique in that regard. Further, America was founded by settlers and their descendants, not immigrants, and most of the immigrants who came here before the 1965 Hart-Celler Act had more in common with one another than the hodgepodge of immigrants we receive today from every backward, primitive, violent hellhole on earth.
Nonetheless, ask America’s elites if immigration is a good thing and a fistfight will break out to see who can be first in line to repeat some banality about how wonderful and infallible immigration is. Being asked if immigration is a good thing is like being asked whether heat is good without being told if the source is an electric blanket or a grease fire. There’s not enough information to answer the question.
“There cannot be any blanket conclusions about immigrations in general because there is no such thing as immigrants in general.” Thomas Sowell wrote that in Applied Economics more than 20 years ago. It remains truer than ever, yet even the most destructive types of immigration are consecrated axioms in the church of leftism.

Before he served as prime minister, Khaire worked as an executive for Soma Oil and Gas, where he was investigated for ties to terrorist groups in Africa. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who understands that terrorism, fraud, piracy, and violence are the chief accomplishments of the Somali people, including a recent welfare fraud scam in Minnesota that reportedly funneled millions of American tax dollars to a Somali terror group abroad.
According to a translation that accompanied the video circulating online, during his speech at Omar’s rally, Khaire said: “The interests of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s. It’s not the interest of Minnesota, or the interests of the American people. The interests of Ilhan are that of the Somalian people and of Somalia.” The crowd, dressed in Islamic garb and waving Somali flags, went wild with applause. None of this should surprise anyone familiar with Ilhan Omar’s history, or the parasitic relationship Somalis have with America. During the heyday of ISIS, one in four terrorists who left the U.S. to join ISIS came from Minnesota. In addition to acting as a conveyor belt for terrorist recruitment, the city of Minneapolis has long struggled with a hostile and self-segregating Somali population, as police grapple with Somali gangs.
It’s becoming difficult to have a successful political career in Minnesota without broad support from Somalis — an insane and enraging fact. Even comparatively small populations of these people are uniquely dangerous because their militant attitudes — combined with the left’s slobbering desire to appease them — mean they wield power disproportionate to their population. On paper they might be a small minority, but they enjoy an outsized influence on culture and politics.

As Trump lamented on X, we must “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.” More important, the president noted that “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”
Deporting illegal aliens who crossed our southern border is critical to saving our republic, but it is not enough. Ilhan Omar must be sent back to her actual home, along with thousands of other Somalis. If Somalis and Afghans and other unassimilable immigrants are allowed to remain here, they will metastasize into a national fifth column of saboteurs hostile to the very people who were suicidally kind enough to bring them here.
