Radio Derb Is On The Air: GOP Turkeys Voting For Thanksgiving, Etc.

By John Derbyshire

Radio Derb is on the air. To get the podcast, follow the instructions at Taki’s Magazine. The transcript will be archived on my own website Tuesday morning.

This week’s podcast is mainly concerned with U.S. politics. I note inter alia the wellnigh imperial authority a Democratic President has over his own party in Congress when the National Question comes up.

I just went to the NumbersUSA website and looked up the immigration score cards for congresscritters from both parties. NumbersUSA gives every congressperson a grade, from A+ down to F-, on immigration issues. Among Republican House members, 69 percent — I’m going to work with percentages here, if you don’t mind — 69 percent of GOP Representatives got graded A or A+, while 28 percent were F or F-. Got that? 69 percent firm immigration patriots, 28 percent total open borders. That’s the House. Among Republican Senators, 59 percent were A or A+, eight percent were F or F-. See what I mean? Diversity!

Now the Democrats, once again in percentages. Democratic House members: A or A+, zero percent; F or F-, 99 percent. In fact it’s worse than that: two Representatives were not graded, having no voting record on immigration. Of the others, every single one was graded F-! For Democrat Senators the unity was even more solid: 100 percent, every single one, was graded F-.

Where congressional Democrats are concerned, we’re not even in the U.S.A. any more: this might as well be the Supreme Soviet. The President doesn’t have to work these guys; he just has to stroll into the House chamber once a year and bask in the applause.

I don’t see how you could want any more conclusive evidence that U.S. immigration policy is just a farm system for future Democratic voters. The incredible thing is that so many GOP legislators — 28 percent in the House, including the Speaker, eight percent in the Senate, including the Majority Leader — are just fine with it. These turkeys go gobbling into the division lobbies on every immigration issue and vote for Thanksgiving.
