It’s early days yet in the Trump presidency, but there’s a general feeling it’s not going very well. Except, of course, for the work of our splendid Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Even partisan types are generally willing to cut a new president some slack—the so-called “honeymoon.” Nope: Ten weeks in, Trump is graded F by... Read More
The latest Radio Derb transcript is up here. A sample: Mexico buckles. If you do like open borders, then you must love the Obama administration, which has been waving through illegals as fast as it can while it still can. The Center for Immigration Studies, working from Census Bureau numbers, estimatesthat for the two years... Read More
Today’s Carlos Slim Times features a two-hanky sob story about illegal immigrants from Honduras Kelvin Villanueva was almost home one night last June when a policeman stopped him for a broken taillight. From his truck, he could see his longtime girlfriend, Suelen Bueno, waiting for him behind the glass door of their apartment. She often... Read More
Open-borders enthusiast and syndicated columnist (and board member of janitorial-services megafirm ABM) Linda Chavez has been reading Donald Trump’s position paper on immigration. Naturally she has things to say about it: so many things, she promises future columns dealing with Trump’s proposals. In her current column she tackles Trump’s call for an end to birthright...

The mass drowning of eight or nine hundred—nobody knows precisely—illegal immigrants in the Mediterranean last Sunday triggered a lot of commentary about these boat people, most of it stupid. Here are some of the grosser stupidities. They’re just seeking a better life. Who isn’t? I guess there are some Lotus eaters among us who are... Read More
We really need to retire the epithet “The Stupid Party” for the GOP. The DHS funding fiasco plainly shows that “stupid” is too mild an adjective to describe the Congressional Republican leadership.[John Boehner ends stalemate, Politico, March 3, 2015] I turned to my thesaurus in hopes of finding something more apt. Alas; in this age... Read More
A hundred years and some ago, G.K. Chesterton wrote a poem titled “The Secret People.” The poem is a very brief (60 lines) history of England from a Chestertonian—romantic, traditionalist—point of view. “The Secret People” is hyperbolic and not very logical, but it contains some memorable phrases. Whether God does indeed nurse “scorn for all... Read More
A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of mass illegal immigration from the benighted regions to Europe’s south. There are parallels with the current situation in the Western hemisphere, but there are important differences too. As dire and disgraceful as our own federal government’s insouciance towards mass illegal immigration has been, Europe’s danger is even greater,... Read More
However inured I think I am to the hypocrisy in American political discourse, media coverage of the immigration issue still takes my breath away. There was a prime example this last weekend in Newsday, the main newspaper out here where I live in Suffolk County on New York's Long Island. Newsday has a left-liberal editorial... Read More
John Derbyshire writes an incredible amount on all sorts of subjects for all kinds of outlets. (This no longer includes National Review, whose editors had some kind of tantrum and fired him. He is the author of We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism and several other books. His most recent book, published by VDARE.com com is FROM THE DISSIDENT RIGHT (also available in Kindle).His writings are archived at JohnDerbyshire.com.
We always hear that the way to stop illegal immigration is to help people where they are.
Actually, there's a lot better reasons than that to do so.
History shows that birth rates drop as the economic conditions improve, and NOT the other way around.
History also shows that population co...
Meh add to R&D spending, build vertical farming with desalinated water.. it's not difficult, then build roads and infrastructure. Just gotta not spend $5 trillion on war really.
"I wouldn’t even scold these caravanners as people intending to break our laws. In fact, they don’t actually aim to break any laws."
Wrong. They commit armed robbery by proxy the moment they set foot on US soil. They enjoy free food, electricity, healthcare, K-through-12 babysitting, and h...
Studies on IQ, and it has been done by many groups, that the white IQ is in the 100 range, blacks in the 80 range. I forget the brown, am not familiar with the Chinese, although it could be above that of whites. There are around 26 million blacks in the U.S. and if the 80 range is correct we ...
I know she's a 'lightweight' (pun intended, lol) but Nutz McCain's daughter can be added to my barrel over Niagara list. She is now a well paid slut on The View, that Judaic woman's morning show that attacks the equally Judaic Donald Trump 24/7 and she spews the Republitard NEOCON party line lik...
Yeah I still remember a BBC radio program praising Japan for its success in rounding up all their personally owned firearms. People like this have children and vote.
It's all over, America is finished. Blessedly, I'll be dead long before the U.S. is transformed into a nonwhite-majority hellhole of 400 and then 500 and then 600(?) million people. I'm so glad I don't have children and especially grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
So here you are, the hen who always smearing China with oozing jealousy to John's Chinese wife & children.
The problem these Chinese have in US, is they are generally too wealthy, highly intelligent IQ 105 vs your low 90, hardworking, well educated, well behave with no drugs or crimes, and...
After the Chinese have taken control of all of the important parts of Africa by simply supporting the local tribal chieftains, they will ensure that the population expansion is controlled. Birth control will be instituted on a practical basis.
Remember that under Chairman Mao, China prohibited...
There are some open cases. India may have a chance, Brazil possibly, Southeast Asia and some Arab countries.
Black Africa, though, and most of Latin America north of the white “cone” nations—Chile, Argentina, Uruguay—… is it possible to have any hope for these places?
Im surpris...
The world’s full of people like that, though: hundreds of millions, billions of them. If even a minor fraction of them—half a billion, say—settled in the U.S.A., we would have a radically different country. I rather like our country the way it is
Then USA will be great again, greater tha...
" Very few of them will be white..." This applies to your Chinese wife and offspring. As a reminder, your Chinese wife and daughter voted for Obummer.
You have to start writing about the other OTMs, the Chinese. They are causing lots of problems.
They don't have the intelligence to even ...
I have a pretty significant interest in demographic forecasting, and I can tell you that the chart for Africa will be wrong by more than 50% because it's a pitifully naïve 'electronic ruler' projection that fails to account for rising prosperity.
It's the same shitful analytical method that w...
Thilo Sarrazin's work starts from an incorrect premise - namely, that immigrants will continue to reproduce faster than incumbents, after the first-generation. That's at significant odds with the data.
What actually tends to happen is that the first-generation born to immigrant parents is lar...
No Buddy, he denied knowledge of a contract made, by a lawyer, supposedly on his behalf, with someone else: Which may void the contract.

There are persons of whom I can say that if, while watching a Netflix movie in my living room, I were to glance out my window and see that person covered in tar and feathers and being chased down the street by a jeering mob of my fellow-citizens, I would not rise from my Barcalounger and go to th...
"No sympathy for any western country until we quit bombing..."
-- Fair. If only the populace had the mechanisms of punishing the war profiteers and corrupted Israel-occupied US Congress.
