At a press conference later this morning, Louisiana governor Jeff Landry is set to announce that Louisiana National Guard troops are headed to Texas to assist other red states in doing what the Biden administration will not do – namely, stop the flood of illegal migrants from Third World countries (and China) from destroying our demographics and breaking our social service system.

That’s what this is about, after all. The Democrat Party has made a conscious decision to change the demographics of America to make it look more like the unstable democracies, communist dictatorships and rank kleptocracies these people are fleeing from.

That isn’t to say people from Venezuela or Nigeria or Iraq can’t succeed as Americans. Of course they can. But coming in a wave of 10 million, which is the current estimate of migrants who have crossed our borders during Joe Biden’s time in office, it’s virtually impossible to assimilate these people.

And that assimilation becomes even more difficult when they’re immediately put on welfare. What they’re assimilated into, therefore, is the American underclass/dependency culture, and all the behavioral pathologies that involves.

None of which is an accident, of course. This is being done intentionally. It’s meant to change America from an exceptional country whose citizens will stand and fight for freedom to something much less, unexceptional and comfortable in the dysfunction and betrayal of its ruling class.

Biden and the people handling him know that stopping the flood of migrants is a 3-to-1 issue not in their favor with the American people. But they think that ultimately they can get amnesty for this horde of illegals which ultimately leads to citizenship and voter registration. And where they control the mechanisms of state government, like in New York and California and Oregon and other places, they’ll register them to vote in local elections which will almost assuredly bleed into federal elections.

And if they can’t get that, they know the children of this flood born here will be American citizens – they’ll be born and raised in a government-dependent underclass, radicalized in left-dominated public schools using indoctrination into concepts like “equity” and critical race theory and intersectionalist feminism and transgenderism. They’ll have been stripped of whatever Christianity or other great religion their parents carried from the Old Country and taught the catechisms of the woke religion, and then they’ll be set upon the electorate as hard-core Marxists, miserable, alone and desperate for meaning and belonging in a country to which they are alien and alienated.

In short, they’re the perfect Democrat voters.

And their arrival on the scene will break the public fisc, something today’s Democrats – with Barack Obama (whose role in “fundamentally transforming” America I discuss in full in my new book Racism, Revenge and Ruin: It’s All Obama) as the grand poo-bah of that party’s radical turn – are happy to bring to pass. Because a bankrupt government will (1) necessarily turn to global organizations for a bailout, which then necessarily cedes our sovereignty to those organizations just as has been the case in the basket-case countries whose citizens now invade us, and (2) have no choice but to abandon free market capitalism for a far more high-tax, low-freedom economy.

That’s what’s at stake here. That’s why the federal government is no longer an asset but rather an adversary to maintaining a proper border. And that’s why states like Louisiana must assist Texas in shutting that wide-open door.

Yesterday, the Louisiana Freedom Caucus put out a press release about the deployment…

“Securing this nation’s borders is a crucial and primary duty of our government. The Louisiana Freedom Caucus supports Gov. Jeff Landry in his efforts to help do the job President Biden refuses to do: secure our border. This is a blatant disregard for the safety and sovereignty of the American people,” said Beryl Amedée, Chairman of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.

“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has declared the crisis situation at the southern border with Mexico an invasion. A reported eight million people have poured across the southern border in the past three years, unabated, since Biden reversed via Executive Order the successful border policies of President Donald Trump. We should stand with Texas to repel this sea of humanity coming across our border in which all sorts of ugly things hide,” Amedée said.

Amedee has this right.

One thing which is missing here, though, is that Louisiana’s interests have not changed with respect to the border and illegal immigration. The effects of this invasion may not be as pronounced here as they’ve been in Texas, or Illinois, New York or California or other states with “sanctuary” cities, but nevertheless we are not immune from the flood of migrants, something that was made clear when Kenner police chief Keith Conley echoed Landry’s recitation that gangs of illegals are beginning to terrorize that city. Landry is doing what his predecessor John Bel Edwards should have done.

Not just sending troops to the border to help Texas stop the bleeding. But also, studying the effect of illegal migrants on state resources so that we know exactly what the cost of this flood is.

Edwards had absolutely zero interest in that. Of course, he was likely happy to see illegals coming in to offset the Louisianans turning themselves into expatriates at unprecedented rates; the state’s population has declined in real numbers while all of our southern neighbors are experiencing growth (most of it dramatic). And he certainly wasn’t interested in doing anything that would highlight the damage his party was doing on the ground in our state.

But Edwards was also on board with the forced demographic shift his party is foisting on America.

And that’s why Landry, less than a month after taking office, is taking the aggressive steps Edwards should have been taking two and three years ago when this man-made crisis began. Other states have had National Guard troops assisting Texas for some time now. But until Landry took office, Louisiana has been conspicuously absent.

It’s another piece of a shameful Edwards legacy we’ll be dealing with for some time.
