In a recent announcement, President Donald Trump declared his intention to "permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries," "remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country," and "deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.
".
This announcement was made following the tragic death of Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, allegedly at the hands of an Afghan, and the release of a report highlighting corruption within Minnesota's Somali community.
According to The Blaze, this announcement sparked outrage among Democrats, open-border activists, and other radicals. Among them was Wajahat Ali, a former columnist at the Daily Beast and contributor to the New York Times. Ali, known for his podcast "The Left Hook," launched into a tirade against Trump's proposed immigration policies, inadvertently lending credibility to Trump's plan and the so-called great replacement theory.
In a heated moment, Ali declared, "We're not going back. I want all the hatemongers who watch this and I hope they do watch this because I know they hate-watch us you've lost. You have lost. You lost. The mistake that you made is you let us in in the first place." Ali's argument was rooted in numbers, suggesting that migrant communities from the Indian subcontinent, Asia, and Latin America are too numerous and have too strong a foothold in the U.S. to be removed en masse.
Ali continued, "See, that's the thing with brown people, and I'm going to say this as a brown person. There's a lot of us. . There's like 1.2 billion in India. There's more than 200 million in Pakistan. There's like 170 million in Bangladesh. Those are just the people there." He added, "There's a bunch of us, and we breed. We're a breeding people and the problem is you let us in in 1965."
Ali's comments were met with criticism from conservative commentators. Robby Starbuck, a normalcy advocate, responded, "People on the left like Wajahat just hate White people and they couldnt be more clear about it. At this point its our fault if we keep importing this hatred, not his for telling the truth about it. Also people like him didnt use DEI for equality, they used it for supremacy."
Adam Johnston, a senior Federalist contributor, wrote, "Mass immigration is a form of revenge and conquest. Just ask Wajahat Ali." Conservative commentator Michael Knowles added that Ali "perfectly exemplifies the problems of immigration. On the one hand, he's a standard American lib: graduated Berkeley, bloviates in frivolous outlets, dresses sloppily, etc."
He continued, "And yet, he express[es] tribal hostility toward the native population of the country to which his parents fled. Almost as if, even in the best of circumstances, heritage is an enduring aspect of identity that a multiple-choice civics quiz cannot immediately overcome."
Despite the backlash, Ali maintained that he wasn't "anti-white" but "just anti white supremacist."
While Ali's comments may have stirred controversy, the Trump administration has already begun to implement the president's orders. Joe Edlow, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, stated last week that he has "directed a full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern" at the president's direction.
Furthermore, all asylum decisions have been paused by USCIS. This move underscores the administration's commitment to ensuring the safety and prosperity of the United States, even in the face of vocal opposition.
