In response to this summer’s migrant riots in Los Angeles and elsewhere we launched a poll on immigration. Some of these questions are from previous polls to track how public opinion is evolving while others are new questions.
The Homeland Institute polled 946 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters between July 22 and July 30, 2025. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%.
Since November 2024, support for ending birthright citizenship among Independents increased by 19.1% to 41%, and among Republicans by 9.4% to 63.9%.
16.7% of all respondents were in some form of agreement with the statement “Everyone is a blood and soil nationalist for the people they actually like,” including 14.9% of Democrats, 22.6% of Independents, and 13.4% of Republicans.
52.3% of Republicans agree that the LA riots show that migrants rarely assimilate.
59.7% of all respondents, 95% of Republicans, 56.4% of Independents, and even 20.2% of Democrats support checking the immigration status of people detained or arrested at riots or unlawful assemblies.
- General Attitudes
We began by repeating a question from a June, 2024 Homeland Institute poll about attitudes towards legal and illegal immigration. The only difference was that we changed the term “undocumented immigrant” to “illegal immigrant” because it is more accurate.
| Q.1 Which of the following best describes your opinion on this statement: “Illegal immigrants are a net negative, but legal immigrants are a net positive.” | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Agree | 48.1% | 16.7% | 48.2% | 75.1% |
| Neither agree nor disagree | 11.4% | 13.5% | 12.6% | 8.4% |
| Disagree, illegal immigrants are a net positive too | 29.7% | 62.2% | 30.9% | 1.4% |
| Disagree, legal immigrants are a net negative too | 7.4% | 1.7% | 6.5% | 12.6% |
| I don’t know | 3.4% | 5.9% | 1.8% | 2.5% |
The results were mostly unchanged. However, there was a large spike in Democrats believing that illegal immigrants are a net positive and a small increase among Independents and Republicans being caught up in the distinction between legal and illegal.
Only 7.4% understand that legal immigrants are a net negative too, which was almost unchanged from 7.2% in the previous poll. This underscores the need to continue to hammer home the point that immigration is a net negative regardless of legal status.
We also re-asked how respondents see immigration in light of its demographic and electoral consequences:
| Q.13 Assuming that immigration is changing the racial demographics of the United States, how would this affect your opinion on immigration? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Support a lot more | 5.7% | 9.7% | 2.5% | 5.0% |
| Support a little more | 4.1% | 7.6% | 2.9% | 2.5% |
| No effect either way | 62.9% | 77.1% | 70.5% | 44.3% |
| Oppose a little more | 8.1% | 2.4% | 7.2% | 13.7% |
| Oppose a lot more | 17.1% | 1.7% | 15.1% | 31.7% |
| I don’t know | 2.0% | 1.4% | 1.8% | 2.8% |
| Q.14 The Pew Research Center found that substantially more immigrants tend to identify as or lean Democrat than Republican. How does this affect your opinion on immigration? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Support a lot more | 6.6% | 12.5% | 4.7% | 3.1% |
| Support a little more | 6.3% | 16.3% | 2.9% | 1.4% |
| No effect either way | 59.8% | 67.7% | 73.4% | 41.7% |
| Oppose a little more | 8.2% | 2.4% | 7.2% | 14.0% |
| Oppose a lot more | 18.1% | 1.0% | 10.8% | 38.1% |
| I don’t know | 1.0% | 0.0% | 1.1% | 1.7% |
Most of the results were within the margin of error from the previous poll. Respondents continue to be mostly indifferent to the demographic and even electoral effects of immigration. However, Independents continue to be slightly more opposed to than supportive of immigration in light of its demographic and electoral consequences.
We also repeated the question about deporting all or almost all illegal immigrants:
| Q.17 Which of the following best describes your opinion on deporting all or almost all illegal immigrants? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 41.4% | 3.8% | 35.0% | 79.4% |
| Slightly support | 13.8% | 8.0% | 18.8% | 14.4% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 5.2% | 6.3% | 7.9% | 2.5% |
| Slightly oppose | 7.9% | 14.3% | 10.1% | 1.1% |
| Strongly oppose | 30.9% | 67.5% | 28.2% | 2.5% |
| I don’t know | 0.7% | 0.7% | 0.4% | 0.8% |
Most of the results were within the margin of error. Since June 2024, the number of Republicans who strongly support mass deportations increased from 70.4% to 79.4% while the number of Democrats who strongly oppose mass deportations increased from 50.7% to 67.5% which may indicate a polarizing electorate.
President Trump has flip flopped several times on whether there will be exemptions for illegal immigrants working in agriculture or hotels. We asked respondents their opinion on such exemptions:
| Q.19 President Trump has made several contradictory statements on whether illegal immigrants working in agriculture and hospitality should also be deported or given an exemption. | ||||
| Which of the following best describes your opinion on exempting illegal immigrants in agriculture and hospitality from deportation? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 20.9% | 44.0% | 19.2% | 4.9% |
| Slightly support | 17.4% | 22.3% | 16.2% | 16.4% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 20.4% | 20.6% | 25.2% | 18.1% |
| Slightly oppose | 14.2% | 5.7% | 14.7% | 22.4% |
| Strongly oppose | 23.9% | 7.4% | 24.8% | 38.2% |
| I don’t know | 3.2% | 2.1% | 4.5% | 2.6% |
Almost equal numbers of respondents supported such exemptions as opposed them. However, support and opposition mostly fell along partisan lines, with slightly more Independents opposing such exemptions than supporting them.
We also asked a question that was similar to one we asked about AI and robotics in a September, 2024 poll:
| Q.18 Which of the following best describes your opinion on the following statement: | ||||
| “Cheap migrant labor has probably slowed the development of artificial intelligence and robotics in agriculture.” | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly agree | 6.8% | 2.6% | 6.6% | 11.8% |
| Slightly agree | 12.2% | 6.6% | 10.7% | 21.2% |
| Neither agree nor disagree | 23.9% | 13.2% | 27.7% | 36.1% |
| Slightly disagree | 16.2% | 18.0% | 19.0% | 16.1% |
| Strongly disagree | 32.0% | 59.6% | 36.0% | 14.8% |
| I don’t know | 9.0% | 5.9% | 14.9% | 8.2% |
While agreement with the statement on immigration slowing the development of AI and robotics in agriculture remains low, there was still a measurable increase since September 2024, and especially among Republicans.
2. Remigration Tactics
We next explored attitudes towards tactics to discourage immigration and to encourage remigration. The most popular tactics with support ranging from 60-70% were deporting felon migrants, denaturalizing migrants who commit immigration fraud, making E-Verify mandatory, and having police investigate the immigration status of those they suspect of being illegal immigrants:
| Q.7 Which of the following best describes your opinion on immediately deporting illegal immigrants and legal resident aliens who are convicted of or plead guilty to a felony to their homelands? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 52.3% | 19.8% | 48.6% | 83.5% |
| Slightly support | 18.3% | 28.1% | 16.5% | 12.0% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 10.6% | 14.6% | 16.2% | 2.2% |
| Slightly oppose | 7.0% | 14.6% | 7.2% | 0.3% |
| Strongly oppose | 9.5% | 20.1% | 8.3% | 0.8% |
| I don’t know | 2.3% | 2.8% | 3.2% | 1.1% |
| Q.11 What is your opinion on denaturalizing naturalized citizens who obtained citizenship through fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 44.6% | 14.6% | 38.5% | 75.1% |
| Somewhat support | 23.7% | 28.1% | 28.1% | 16.5% |
| Neutral | 10.6% | 19.1% | 11.9% | 2.8% |
| Somewhat oppose | 9.5% | 18.8% | 10.1% | 1.7% |
| Strongly oppose | 9.0% | 16.3% | 8.6% | 2.0% |
| I don’t know | 2.6% | 3.1% | 2.9% | 2.0% |
| Q.2 E-Verify is a free web-based system provided by the government that allows employers to check the immigration status of their employees. It is mandatory for certain types of employers in 24 states. | ||||
| What is your opinion on a federal law making E-Verify mandatory for all employers nationwide with stiff criminal penalties? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 43.9% | 11.1% | 37.8% | 76.5% |
| Slightly support | 22.1% | 24.0% | 25.9% | 17.4% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 10.0% | 15.6% | 12.9% | 3.4% |
| Slightly oppose | 9.9% | 20.8% | 9.7% | 1.4% |
| Strongly oppose | 12.7% | 25.7% | 12.2% | 1.1% |
| I don’t know | 1.4% | 2.8% | 1.4% | 0.3% |
| Q.8 Which of the following best describes your opinion on mandating law enforcement to investigate the immigration status of anyone who is arrested if they reasonably suspect that the arrestee is an illegal immigrant? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 42.9% | 6.3% | 37.1% | 79.3% |
| Slightly support | 17.1% | 21.2% | 17.3% | 13.2% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 9.9% | 14.6% | 12.9% | 3.4% |
| Slightly oppose | 10.5% | 19.1% | 11.9% | 2.5% |
| Strongly oppose | 18.4% | 37.2% | 20.5% | 0.6% |
| I don’t know | 1.2% | 1.7% | 0.4% | 1.1% |
70.6% of respondents support immediately deporting migrants who commit felonies, 68.3% support denaturalizing migrants who obtain citizenship through fraud, 66% support making the use of E-Verify mandatory for employers, and 60% support mandating law enforcement investigate the immigration status of arrestees they suspect of being illegal immigrants.
That these were the most popular tactics continues a theme from previous Homeland polls that white American voters tend to be legalistic. The questions about denaturalizing migrants who obtained citizenship through fraud and E-Verify were new. The results for the question about law enforcement investigating immigration status were within the margin of error of our June 2024 poll. There was a slight decrease in support for deporting migrants who commit felonies since June 2024, however, this change was mostly driven by Democrats.
Tactics with a moderate amount of support were barring states from granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, raiding illegal driver’s license databases, and forbidding illegal immigrants from accessing non-emergency public services as California’s Prop 187 sought to do.
| Q.5 18 US states and the District of Columbia currently offer driver’s licenses to people regardless of their immigration status. Which of the following best describes your opinion on prohibiting illegal immigrants from obtaining a driver’s license to encourage them to voluntarily repatriate themselves to their homelands? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 42.2% | 8.3% | 37.4% | 74.2% |
| Slightly support | 10.7% | 10.8% | 12.2% | 9.2% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 7.9% | 12.5% | 10.4% | 2.2% |
| Slightly oppose | 11.8% | 19.4% | 15.5% | 3.1% |
| Strongly oppose | 26.7% | 48.3% | 23.7% | 10.6% |
| I don’t know | 0.6% | 0.7% | 0.7% | 0.6% |
| Q.6 Which of the following best describes your opinion on ICE seizing the databases which contain the information for the aforementioned driver’s licenses to track down and deport illegal immigrants? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 36.2% | 1.7% | 27.3% | 72.5% |
| Slightly support | 13.1% | 3.8% | 18.3% | 16.2% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 6.4% | 5.6% | 9.0% | 4.8% |
| Slightly oppose | 7.1% | 11.1% | 7.9% | 3.4% |
| Strongly oppose | 36.4% | 77.4% | 37.1% | 1.4% |
| I don’t know | 0.8% | 0.3% | 0.4% | 1.7% |
| Q.3 Which of the following best describes your opinion on prohibiting illegal immigrants from using non-emergency health care, public education, and other services to encourage them to voluntarily repatriate themselves to their homelands? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 36.6% | 3.8% | 31.7% | 67.8% |
| Slightly support | 15.3% | 8.7% | 19.4% | 17.9% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 7.8% | 9.7% | 10.1% | 4.8% |
| Slightly oppose | 12.9% | 24.3% | 12.2% | 4.2% |
| Strongly oppose | 26.3% | 53.5% | 25.2% | 3.9% |
| I don’t know | 1.1% | 0.0% | 1.4% | 1.4% |
Support for prohibiting illegals from obtaining driver’s licenses and from using non-emergency services rose among Independents and Republicans since we asked the same question in June 2024, while opposition from Democrats slightly rose. This may indicate that immigration extremists are becoming increasingly ghettoized, at least in regard to their support for illegal immigration.
Overall, slightly more respondents supported than opposed seizing the databases which hold the information for illegal driver’s licenses (this was a new question). Independents were about evenly split, but with more strongly opposing than strongly supporting this tactic.
Less popular tactics were detention centers like “Alligator Alcatraz,” offering migrants $1,000 and a one-way plane ticket to repatriate, suspending the writ of habeas corpus, and ignoring rulings from pro-migrant judges.
| Q.21 “Alligator Alcatraz” is an immigration detention center located in the Florida Everglades. Which of the following best describes your opinion on holding illegal immigrants in detention centers like “Alligator Alcatraz” while awaiting deportation? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 35.9% | 1.1% | 30.8% | 71.8% |
| Slightly support | 10.9% | 3.9% | 13.6% | 14.5% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 7.0% | 3.5% | 9.2% | 8.3% |
| Slightly oppose | 4.4% | 6.0% | 4.0% | 3.7% |
| Strongly oppose | 39.6% | 85.5% | 42.5% | 1.7% |
| I don’t know | 2.1% | 2.1% | 1.8% | 1.7% |
| Q.4 Which of the following best describes your opinion on offering migrants a one-way airplane ticket and $1,000 to encourage them to voluntarily repatriate themselves to their homelands? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 19.9% | 4.9% | 13.7% | 37.8% |
| Slightly support | 20.0% | 13.2% | 20.9% | 25.2% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 14.7% | 17.0% | 19.4% | 9.0% |
| Slightly oppose | 15.9% | 15.6% | 19.1% | 13.2% |
| Strongly oppose | 27.0% | 45.5% | 24.1% | 13.4% |
| I don’t know | 2.6% | 3.8% | 2.9% | 1.4% |
| Q.9 Stephen Miller, a senior White House official, has repeatedly criticized federal judges for overstepping their authority and engaging in what he calls a “judicial coup” or “judicial insurrection” by issuing rulings that block or limit the Trump administration’s immigration policies. | ||||
| Which of the following best describes your opinion on elected officials who are anti-immigration defying or ignoring the courts if the courts issue pro-immigration rulings? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 9.9% | 6.3% | 9.7% | 13.4% |
| Slightly support | 6.6% | 5.2% | 5.4% | 8.4% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 15.0% | 8.7% | 14.7% | 20.2% |
| Slightly oppose | 10.3% | 7.6% | 11.2% | 12.0% |
| Strongly oppose | 53.8% | 69.1% | 54.7% | 40.9% |
| I don’t know | 4.4% | 3.1% | 4.3% | 5.0% |
| Q.10 In May 2025, Stephen Miller stated that the Trump administration was actively looking at suspending the writ of habeas corpus for migrants because illegal border crossings constitute an invasion. The writ of habeas corpus is a legal right that allows a person to challenge their detention, ensuring they are not held in jail without a valid reason. | ||||
| Which of the following best describes your opinion on suspending the writ of habeas corpus for migrants? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 22.2% | 2.1% | 17.3% | 43.1% |
| Somewhat support | 12.2% | 3.5% | 14.0% | 18.2% |
| Neutral | 11.3% | 3.1% | 10.8% | 17.9% |
| Somewhat oppose | 9.0% | 8.0% | 11.2% | 7.8% |
| Strongly oppose | 42.0% | 80.9% | 42.4% | 9.5% |
| I don’t know | 3.4% | 2.4% | 4.3% | 3.4% |
All of the above four questions were new, except for offering migrants money and plane tickets. Support for that policy rapidly rose from 13.7% overall in June 2024 to 39.9% in this poll. This is probably explained in large part because this poll proposed giving migrants $1,000 and the previous poll proposed $5,000.
3. Immigration, Citizenship, and Elections
The US is one of a few countries with unrestricted birthright citizenship due to a warped reading of the Fourteenth Amendment. Illegal immigrants are also counted under the US census for apportioning Congressional seats and in some districts can even vote in local elections. We asked respondents about changing these policies:
| Q.12 Under current law anyone born on American soil is automatically a citizen, aka birthright citizenship. Unrestricted birthright citizenship is extremely rare outside of North America and South America. | ||||
| What is your opinion on ending birthright citizenship? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 28.0% | 6.9% | 27.0% | 45.7% |

| Neutral | 9.9% | 6.9% | 10.4% | 11.8% |
| Somewhat oppose | 13.5% | 15.6% | 11.5% | 13.2% |

| I don’t know | 1.2% | 0.7% | 1.1% | 1.4% |
| Q.15 Which of the following best describes your opinion on barring illegal immigrants and legal resident aliens from voting in local, state, and federal elections? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 57.9% | 25.7% | 58.6% | 85.4% |
| Slightly support | 12.9% | 19.4% | 11.5% | 7.8% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 10.5% | 18.1% | 13.3% | 1.7% |
| Slightly oppose | 7.3% | 14.6% | 7.6% | 1.1% |
| Strongly oppose | 9.3% | 18.1% | 7.6% | 3.1% |
| I don’t know | 2.1% | 4.2% | 1.4% | 0.8% |
| Q.16 Currently, illegal immigrants and legal resident aliens are counted on the census for the purpose of apportioning Congressional seats. This leads to states with large numbers of illegal immigrants and legal resident aliens having more seats in Congress. | ||||
| Which of the following best describes your opinion on only counting US citizens for apportioning Congressional seats? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 49.0% | 14.9% | 49.3% | 77.3% |
| Slightly support | 11.9% | 18.8% | 12.9% | 6.2% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 11.7% | 18.8% | 14.0% | 4.2% |
| Slightly oppose | 9.0% | 17.7% | 9.0% | 2.0% |
| Strongly oppose | 14.8% | 23.6% | 11.2% | 9.5% |
| I don’t know | 3.5% | 6.3% | 3.6% | 0.8% |
The 34.5% of all respondents who supported ending birthright citizenship in a November, 2024 poll increased by 7.1% to 41.6% in this poll. Among Independents, support for ending birthright citizenship increased by 19.1% from 21.9% to 41%, and among Republicans, by 9.4% from 54.5% to 63.9%.
There was widespread support, even among Democrats, for barring illegal immigrants from voting in local, state, and federal elections.
We asked a similar but slightly different question about counting illegal immigrants for apportioning Congressional seats in June 2024, and the results were mostly unchanged once wording was accounted for. Independents and Republicans remain strongly opposed to counting illegal immigrants for Congressional seats.
4. Migrant Insurrection
The Los Angeles riots, in early June 2025 in response to ICE raids captured national attention until they were overshadowed by the Israel-Iran War. For example, many citizens noticed an abundance of Mexican flags and a near total absence of American flags. We asked respondents their opinion on whether the riots showed that migrants rarely assimilate and on checking the immigration status of rioters:
| Q.22 Which of the following best describes your opinion on this statement: “The recent riots in Los Angeles show that migrants rarely assimilate.” | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||

| Q.23 Which of the following best describes your opinion on checking the immigration status of people detained or arrested at riots or unlawful assemblies? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 45.5% | 6.3% | 38.8% | 83.2% |

| I don’t know | 1.0% | 1.7% | 1.1% | 0.3% |
29.3% of all respondents, 52.3% of Republicans, 26.3% of Independents, and even 4.5% of Democrats agreed that the LA riots show that migrants rarely assimilate. 59.7% of all respondents, 95% of Republicans, 56.4% of Independents, and even 20.2% of Democrats support checking the immigration status of people detained or arrested at riots or unlawful assemblies, which continues the theme of the electorate valuing law and order.
Kevin Deanna of who posts as James Kirkpatrick on X created and popularized the observation that “Everyone is a blood and soil nationalist for the people they actually like.” We asked respondents their opinion on his statement:

16.7% of all respondents were in some form of agreement with this statement, including 14.9% of Democrats, 22.6% of Independents, and 13.4% of Republicans. It is interesting to note that Independents had higher agreement. Perhaps this is because Independents have a more objective than partisan lens, as one could imagine Republicans recoiling from the charge of identity politics and Democrats from anything similar to nationalism, as “everyone” includes oneself and one’s party.
While agreement was low it is still a strong foundation to work with. Furthermore, there were a much higher number of respondents who answered “neither agree nor disagree” or “I don’t know” than usual.
5. Conclusion:
- The electorate continues to be strongly opposed to illegal immigration but soft on legal immigration.
- Respondents continue to be mostly indifferent to the demographic and even electoral effects of immigration.
- The number of Republicans who strongly support and Democrats who strongly oppose mass deportations are increasing.
- Tactics with high support are: deporting migrant felons, denaturalizing migrants who commit immigration fraud, making E-Verify mandatory, and having police investigate the immigration status of those they suspect of being illegal immigrants.
- Tactics with moderate support are: barring states from granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, raiding illegal driver’s license databases, and forbidding illegal immigrants from accessing non-emergency public services.
- Tactics with less support are: detention centers like “Alligator Alcatraz,” offering migrants $1,000 and a one-way plane ticket to repatriate, suspending the writ of habeas corpus, and ignoring rulings from pro-migrant judges. However, that does not mean they are ineffective or can’t be popularized.
- Support for ending birthright citizenship is rising among Independents and Republicans but still needs to be improved.
- Voters are beginning to slowly understand that immigration has slowed the development of AI and robotics and agriculture, but further education on this point is required.
- The Los Angeles riots were a missed opportunity to show that migrants rarely assimilate, perhaps because they were overshadowed by foreign affairs.
- A small but not insignificant number of respondents agree with the statement “Everyone is a blood and soil nationalist for the people they actually like.”

Southern California is the Northernmost state of Mexico by now. Turn on the radio there at your peril, apart from a few stations playing classical or holding down the fort doing Oldies it’s Ranchera Music as far as the ear can hear, and some brown skinned cretin named Maria pronouncing it as Los-An-He-Lees. We should have made a 100-mile buffer zone back in 1846 when the pickings was easy.

Yes, you are correct, but the white race has never had good leadership. That is why in 200 years we will probably be extinct. 🙃
We’ve had plenty of great leaders, but few since World War II.
We won’t be extinct as long as we keep pushing forward. Apathy and hopelessness are out biggest enemies.
When the land that was ultimately claimed by the United States after the Mexican-American War and the Gadsden Purchase was paid for, the Congress got kind of chintzy about how much they really wanted to spend on “desert wasteland.” There may have also been some Northern Abolitionist misgivings about the prospect of a future Southern transcontinental railroad. Anyway, the end result was that not as much land was purchased as was originally offered by the Mexican dictator. This meant that the USA did not get an outlet to the Gulf of California, for example, which was a very dumb oversight and a serious lack of imagination. Either way, there was a big demographic buffer zone already because there were comparatively few Spanish speakers then living in the “conquered” territories.
🙂
Great article! It is a tough read, skip to the conclusion if you are like me, and don’t like to read articles based on surveys. 🙃
These riots were organized by Jews (Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg), to take leftist energy away from the antiwar movement as Israel was just starting a war with Iran, which Israel successfully dragged the US into bombing.
Interesting that. Where did you find the inside scoop?
Greenberg and Levin are married.
Their Wikipedia pages get right to the only point that matters
“Greenberg was raised in Chevy Chase, Maryland. She is Jewish.”
“Levin grew up in Buda, Texas. He is Jewish.”
Say no more
Its not really a big scoop that the “No Kings” protests was organized by Jews and the obvious motivation would be to take energy away from the left-wing anti-war movement. Jews are very ethnocentric. Some Antifa leaders have fought for Israeli settlements too. The original neocons themselves were leftist Trotskyists until the Soviet Union turned against Israel.
Since the recent Israel/Palestine conflict, many American Jews have taken their money away from the left. Many switched sides from Democrat to Trump purely for supporting Israel (Trump delivers nothing for white Americans).
There has been decades of anti-white activity in every facet of universities, but as soon as there is push-back against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Jewish “philanthropists” start pulling their money from such institutions. Huge crackdowns on free speech. Kids getting kicked out of school. University leaders are removed. People dragged into white vans at protests and driven away.
BLM can riot and burn down cities for months.. But if you challenge Jewish power, which is the ultimate sovereign and Schmittian exception – then you will get shut down. Someone described it like this – “America is national socialism .. For Jews”.
That’s actually a good way of putting it! I’ve often had the idea that German national socialism was an imitation of Jewish practices. The Nuremberg protocol as to who can be considered German is a mirror image of Jewish laws as to who can be considered Jewish. It’s based on apt sociobiological understanding, at what genetic distance a person can be trusted.
Its really not like the Jews at all. Jews are parasitic by nature.
>> “Since the recent Israel/Palestine conflict, many American Jews have taken their money away from the left. Many switched sides from Democrat to Trump purely for supporting Israel (Trump delivers nothing for white Americans).” <<
Let’s not overstate this. Jews did not switch from Democrat to Republican under Trump. Not even close.
At best, Jews might give the majority of their money to Democrats and a little more than normal to Republicans that hew their Kosher outlines.
It did not happen under Reagan either with ex-Trotskyite “Neoconservatives” like Irving Kristol supporting hawkish aspects of the regime against the Evil Empire, with full-throated support for Israel.
The thing to understand is that Ashkenazi Jews hate Russians, Poles, and Germans ─ in that order ─ due to historical conflicts with them that will not soon be forgotten. They have institutional memories that last for centuries and not just the next business or news cycle.
If Americans ever do wake up, then Jews will add them to their long list and hate them too.
The reason that the Left is “opposing” Israel at this time is not because of some lame Human Rights narrative of the Liberals nor naïve Libertarians, but simply because they see Israel as WHITE colonial oppressors ─ i.e., for the same reason that they supported the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, and celebrity activists allowed themselves to be photographed awestruck before enemy anti-aircraft guns and wearing Communist battle helmets.
This and VC blood drives were only permitted because for some (((strange))) reason, Congress never bothered to actually declare war against Communist states during the Korean and Vietnam “police actions.”
The anti-War/anti-Zionist sentiment on college campuses is interesting but hugely overstated. From what I have seen, these are the same AntiFa and BLM activists from the Summer of Floyd. And no, they are not going to start fighting the Joos and help herd the Goyim back into the Latin Rite pews. Not even close.
In spite of Trump carrying water for them at times, the last thing that the Jews wanted was for Trump to win in 2024 ─ but they read the mene tekel on the wall long before that, so planned accordingly.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention also that one indication that the usual suspects do not necessarily have their hands firmly on the tiller ─ or are at least relatively indifferent in this case ─ is the mere fact that in the recent L.A. immigration riots, the Reconquista Beaners were photographed with the Mexican flag and not the American flag, and these images were actually disseminated somewhat.
During the Reconquista riots in the early 21st century in Arizona ─ where the modern anti-immigration revolt began ─ the activists were instructed by the experts that they should not violently display the Mexican flag any longer but to wrap their racial revolt in the cover of the Stars and Stripes instead. Conservatives and H-1B Libertarians like Musk are still befuddled over this simple change in Kosher strategy.
🙂
Regarding your claim the left isn’t supporting the Palestinians for humanitarian reasons, but instead because they are turning it into an anti-white narrative – this is false. The vast majority of people left and right are anti-Israel because Israel is genociding innocent people. Its horrific with unprecedented bloodthirstiness and cruelty. Yes, some retards will try and politicize this to be anti-white, but just like “Queers for Palestine” and things like that, much of it is there to discredit the anti-war movement itself so more whites dont jump onboard. Anti-white stuff is at its heart Jewish. The Jews have lost blacks on this cause, so thats why they have shut down DEI.. Now we are getting sexy jeans commercials with white women again because Jews desperately need to hold onto whites, especially if a big war needs to be fought.
Regarding the shift from left to right that Jews took to bring us the Trump presidency.. This happened, its undeniable. Lots of Jewish money switched sides. Lots of media switched sides or became neutral. And there were no Jewish-funded antifa protests or riots when he won. It was a nice smooth victory because he was put there for a reason. To say that the last thing Jews wanted was for Trump to win is ridiculous – they did nothing to stop it, they either supported it or got out of the way. The Jewish donors in the Democratic Party purposely shoehorned-in a bad candidate, a “Jobber” in pro wrestling terms, to lose. This was all obvious.
Regarding “If Americans ever do wake up, then Jews will add them to their long list and hate them too.” – Jews already hate Americans. Thats why there are books like The Authoritarian Personality and the almost complete reprogramming of Americans by Frankfurt school ideals or just Jewish interests generally. Jews hate Americans.. They really hate everyone but themselves. But their nature requires a host nation.
I recommend listening to Greg’s interview with Kevin MacDonald if you haven’t already .. And then get a copy of Kevin’s updated book when its released soon.

Jewish “philanthropists” start pulling their money from such institutions. Huge crackdowns on free speech. Kids getting kicked out of school. University leaders are removed. People dragged into white vans at protests and driven away.
I am glad you brought this up, each point you observed is worthy of an article! Do you recall the instance at one university, a jew would drive around in a specially equipped van with screens attached to the outside of it that displayed images of students that were protesting the Gaza war? That is a modern form of “shaming!” The swiftness, and efficiency with which the jews shut down protest, and swept it under the rug is worthy of special attention! 🙃
Yes, I did see that.. It is worthy of attention. Like my original comment states, these people are above the law and its unsustainable.
I agree with you about Jewish loyalties shifting to the right during the last election cycle. Without even knowing where the money was, or who was being funded by whom, one gets the sense that the fanaticism and brilliance went out of the left. The permissiveness to rioting was gone.
Every Single Time
Hitler wrote that when one takes one’s knife and begins to probe the abscess of corrupt cultural life one finds behind it “like a maggot in a rotting corpse” one thing and one thing only: one finds “the little Jew.”
As true now as the day he said it.
I agree with that notion, without pointing fingers at specific individuals. It’s a strategy they have learned to use. When the elites see a populist, anti war/anti financial elite coalition forming, they use identity politics in the form of Black Lives Matter to rip it apart. Blm started at the end of 2010s when popular resistance to the bush wars and the subprime crisis were at their apogee. Elites effectively shifted the focus to obviously made up racial crises. When similar popular resentment led to the election of trump, the elite resurrected the blm movement with an obviously top down, invented series of racial crises. The method is to create a sharp political polarization so an anti elite/anti war coalition can’t form. The achievement gap between blacks and whites is so large that elites can always easily play to black resentment against whites. Hence, Blacks and middle American whites can never form a coherent coalition together.
The statement “Everyone is a blood and soil nationalist for the people they actually like” may be confusing to some. The way I read it, this means that people support ethnonational sovereignty for populations that they sympathize with, while being indifferent at best for others. An obvious example is that leftists oppose White Nationalism even while understanding that it’s natural and proper for other races to have their own homelands.
Aside from that, it sure looks like nearly half of Republicans are well aware that population replacement migration is an endgame strategy to stuff the ballot box, turning the USA into a permanent “minority majority” one-party state, but they don’t have a problem with it “so long as they come legally”. Or am I making too many assumptions? If not, what the hell’s wrong with those ninnies?
All it took to go from “Complete the Danged Fence,” as the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) put it in a famous reelection ad from the Arizona border, to having Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) pee his pants in a Dirksen Building elevator when the Squad barged in with him ─ was to pass a state law making being in the state with illegal documentation a state-enforceable crime, and then threaten the cheap labor of businesses with actual sanctions if they look the other way on e-Verify.
It sorted the “Chamber of Commerce” Conservatives from the Nationalists.
(LOL, having Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu endorsing Sen. McCain as “one of us” took new meaning when Babeu was outted as a player for the other team with a Mexican boyfriend.)
Anyway, in Arizona, the affluent Mormons sided with the Jews and Liberals to recall State Senator Russell Pearce, the President of the Arizona State Senate from Mesa, who authored SB 1070, the anti-immigrant law that Obama’s courts disavowed faster than the 1935 Nuremberg Race Laws that stripped Jews of German citizenship.
They backed an LDS stooge politician named Jerry Lewis (who has since disappeared) in the Russell Pearce recall. Pearce, a former LDS bishop had mentored and even ordained an anti-immigration NSM or militia member named J.T. Ready who unsuccessfully ran for office in Mesa and later went bonkers, disavowing the LDS church and then murdering his Mexican girlfriend, three others, and then killing himself. I met J.T. Ready at David Irving conferences locally but I just never trusted him.
Anyway, Pearce was a good man. The former U.S. Sentator Jeff Flake was an example of a “Mitt Romney Mormon” in the worst possible way.
I am not sure what religion John McCain was other than Neocon hawk. The real issue, however, is not what religious faiths John McCain and Jeff Flake were, but their undergirding Chamber of Commerce Conservatism. I doubt that any member of McCain’s family ever voted Republican other than perhaps for John McCain himself.
And Elon “H-1B Visa” Musk’s vaunted Heilgrüße was obviously insincere. It bothers me also that Trump is fond of giving the clenched-fist Communist salute.
🙂
@ John MacDonald.
Yes, I did hear the discussion between Greg Johnson and Kevin MacDonald. I am not saying that they are wrong, just that I found most of the arguments unconvincing and overstated, as I said.
With respect to Jews hating Americans, well they already do hate all Gentiles, but I am referring to the visceral hate that they have for Russians, Poles, and Germans ─ in that order.
I am sure that Americans will be next in line regardless of anything that we do or don’t do.
I could care less about Israel, but Palestine is just not our fight.
The best thing that could happen is to cut Israel off from all U.S. foreign aid, and the sooner the better. Then Jews in Israel might actually have to learn how to get along with their neighbors the way that all other countries have had to do since the dawn of time.
The most that we got from Leftist humanitarianism was Jimmy Carter who at least admitted later in life that Israel was an Apartheid state ─ but due to his age and stature as a former President who focused on human rights, he could not be sanctioned for it (or worse). Holocaust theologian Prof. Deborah Lipstadt said that she was horrified.
The counter-argument from Jews to the above from Jimmy Carter was that yes, the Palestinian occupation is indeed horrible ─ a police state ─ but in Israel proper the Israeli Arabs have full civil rights.
To be honest, whether that is true or not, I don’t care. I just want to see the U.S. foreign aid ended ─ especially to Israel and to countries like Egypt who are bribed with billions of dollars to play nice with Israel.
I have been watching the Arab-Israel Wars since a kid waiting for the school bus in 1972 when Olympic athletes were taken hostage in Munich and the oil crisis that resulted from the Yom Kippur War the following year. This Arab-Israel conflict is still going on and it will never end so long as Uncle Sambo continues to send the aid.
I don’t understand devout Jews like Dershowitz who have a quasi-supernatural devotion and reverence for Israel, but who will never deign to live there. Hitler understood, however, as it sums up Zionism perfectly.
