In the Hollow Empire that is the modern United States, even the Armed Forces are becoming just another prize in a never-ending racial Cold War over resources. Thus the unedifying spectacle recently when Congress only narrowly (221-202) defeated an effort to essentially replace Americans in the United States military with illegal aliens. Twenty Republicans voted for this treasonous measure. Why?

The amendment stripping Amnesty for illegals joining the military from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was offered by Rep. Mo Brooks (AL), whom you may remember calling out President Obama and the Democrats’ “War on Whites,” to the shock and horror of the Republican Party leadership. Brooks’ amendment was a counter to language inserted into the by one Ruben Gallego (AZ), a Reconquista Democrat who explicitly links demographic change to turning formerly Red States blue [Here’s the Young Politician Republicans Should Fear, by Jordan Fabian, Fusion, May 27, 2014]

Gallego’s amendment was part of the Left’s political Grand Strategy: “Electing A New People.” Virginia’s Rep. Dave Brat noted the outrageous paradox that this effort to get illegals into the military was being added to a bill that drives out experienced American citizens and legal immigrants who wanted to stay in the military but will be RIFfed.

The scheme to turn the American military into a giant reclamation effort for illegals eerily resembles Robert McNamara’s disastrous “Project 100, 000,” which tried to salvage the American underclass by lowering recruiting standards, contributing to the shameful state of the armed services at the end of the Vietnam War. But the aim of this new scheme is not to combat American poverty, but to employ foreigners to destroy historically white institutions like the military.

We have a government which no longer governs. Public institutions and bureaucracies (even NASA) no longer even try to accomplish their stated objectives but to simply provide jobs and funding to nonwhites [Obama’s Racial Socialism, by Gregory Hood, Counter Currents, July 30, 2014]

It’s no surprise that the Democratic leadership saw the NDAA not as an opportunity to reform the military at time of crisis for American foreign policy, but as a way to bash the GOP for “xenophobia” and make the Orwellian charge Republicans were “un-American” [Dems hammer GOP as ‘xenophobic,’ by Mike Lillis, The Hill, May 14, 2015]. The Evil Party is united and increasingly even defined by an anti-White agenda

But what motivated the 20 Republicans who actually joined with the Democrats?

Some of their votes are all too easy to explain:

Hispanic Fifth-Columnism

Blind Business Boosterism

Squishes seeking MSM approval

Jeb Bush-type Reverse Assimilation.

What can we learn from all of this?

The way forward for the GOP, as VDARE.com has repeatedly urged, is for it to consolidate as the Generic American Party and adopt the “Sailer Strategy” of increasing White turnout, promoting Affordable Family Formation, high wages through low immigration, opposition to anti-White and anti-Asian racial discrimination laws (“Affirmative Action”) etc.

Four factors preventing the emergence of a National Conservative party are revealed by this vote:

  1. The emerging “Hispanic” Anti-Nation . When you have Cuban-Americans and Portuguese defining themselves entirely in opposition to the white majority of the United States, something has gone wrong. Abolishing the increasingly absurd and arbitrary “Hispanic” census category, and the official benefits that derive from it, is an essential start.
  2. The Agricultural Lobby. Splitting this selfish and short-sighted interest group off from the Open Borders Lobby is vital. One obvious possibility: a guest-worker program coupled with abolition of birthright citizenship. Even Treason Lobby-funding heiress Helen Krieble has indicated she would accept this. In the long run, a return to mechanization, conceivably forced by mandating high wages, and adopting a strong pro-worker position. Agricultural companies will then need to use less labor intensive methods or die.
  3. RINOism. It is a cliché, but still true: Republican politicians compulsively move Leftward because they will be praised by the MSM for their “evolution.” For better or worse, immigration patriotism is mostly a conservative issue and most of these Republicans who support various Amnesty schemes are “moderates.” Therefore, immigration patriots should pay close attention to any effort at removing “moderate” Republicans and replacing them with a more conservative candidate. Though conservatism and immigration patriotism are by no means the same thing, in political terms, most of the time they are on the same side.
  4. The Armed Forces. It’s disturbing that vets like Kinzinger and McSally supported this scheme. Obviously, bad things have been happening in the Armed Forcces for some time — McSally, for example, is a graduate of the Air Force Academy and the first female combat pilot. i.e. is a life-long beneficiary of Affirmative Action. It is now urgent that politicians be forced to take positions on the increasing Cultural Marxist indoctrination in the Armed Forces, as reflected on classes on “White Privilege” and the punishment against military chaplains who support traditional marriage. Veterans are an important potential source of resistance to multiculturalism and the attempt to remake America, and immigration patriots need to ensure this group remains on our side.

These Republican defections indicate again that American politics has what Mark Steyn has termed a “One-and-a-half” Party System. The Democrats and a good chunk of the Republicans can be counted on to fully support any scheme that will bring more foreigners into the country.

If patriots want to reverse this process, they will need to not just oppose mass immigration — but the underlying forces that allow pro-Amnesty Republicans to remain in office.
