The Hunter Biden verdict—responsible of mendacity about his drug use on a federal firearms software—is a small propaganda triumph for the Ruling Class. “See,” they’re all jeering, “NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW!”
Yeah, proper. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW … apart from the untold hundreds of thousands of foreigners who entered our nation illegally and settled right here, and the employers who’ve employed them.
And, by the way in which, what number of hundreds of thousands is it? Across the flip of the century, the quantity eleven million in some way floated as much as the floor of our collective consciousness. The late and much-lamented Sam Francis deployed it right here at VDARE.com in November 2002:
However the truth is {that a} nation penetrated yearly by some 300,000 unlawful aliens and through which some 11 million unlawful aliens dwell completely shouldn’t be a nation experiencing “immigration.” It’s a nation experiencing invasion and conquest—and that’s not counting the authorized immigrants.
We miss you, Sam.
However within the years that adopted, the primary decade of this century, the quantity eleven million in some way received caught within the not-very-capacious minds of politicians and their media shills.
It received actually caught: I nonetheless typically hear it. I believed I remembered listening to Marco Rubio use it a number of months in the past, however when NBC pundette Kristen Welker used it to him in Might, he stated “Eleven million? That’s an outdated—that was the quantity 10 years in the past. We’re speaking upwards of 20, 25, perhaps 30 million. There’s been virtually 10 million those who have entered this nation within the final three years.”” after which the Tampa Bay Occasions “factchecked” him (“That’s not true.”)—as in the event that they know for positive: Rubio made assertion about variety of folks in U.S. illegally | Reality examine, by Maria Ramirez Uribe, June 15, 2024.
The quantity eleven million was actually nonetheless present 9 years in the past when Ann Coulter printed her ebook Adios, America! as a result of she pooh-poohed it, quoting a 2005 examine by Bear Stearns that, put it at twenty million. Ann herself wrote in Adios America (Chapter 5: Thirty Million Mexicans)
Combining Justich and Ng’s conclusion that there have been 20 million unlawful aliens right here in 2005 with the estimate of Pulitzer Prize winners Barlett and Steele that one other 3 million unlawful immigrants would enter in 2006, plus at the very least one other 3 million illegals coming in yearly all through the next decade—certainly a low estimate—would imply there are at the very least 30 million unlawful immigrants in america in the present day. To most Californians, 30 million appears low.
Ann tweeted about this a yr and a half in the past:
It is AT LEAST 50 million illegals within the nation in the present day. See my ebook, ‘Adios, America!’ for the evaluation from Pulitzer prize profitable reporters and numbers-crunchers from Bear Stearns.https://t.co/xFUszGB7W5 https://t.co/BasFiMBXbQ

One other yr and a half of Open Borders, that may very well be one other ten million. So sixty million, perhaps seventy … who is aware of?
Even when the variety of resident unlawful aliens is simply fifty million, although, that makes a joke of “No one is above the regulation.”
There’s quite a lot of daylight between “no one” and “fifty million souls.”
There may be one other massive cohort of people who find themselves ABOVE THE LAW, too: all these petty criminals that Huge-Metropolis prosecutors will not prosecute for worry George Soros may pull his funding from their election campaigns.
That cohort, just like the one in every of unlawful aliens, swells daily—though there’s after all appreciable overlap of the 2 cohorts.
Simply a few weeks in the past, I learn this story regarding the elected Mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu: Boston Democratic mayor says criminals shouldn’t be prosecuted for theft, gang registry ought to be abolished, NY Submit, Might 30, 2024.

Again in March 2019 a black Boston-area District Lawyer, one other gyno-American identify of Rachael Rollins, printed a much-discussed Coverage Memo itemizing greater than a dozen fees she stated shouldn’t be prosecuted.
The do-not-prosecute listing included
- Shoplifting
- Larceny
- disorderly conduct
- receiving stolen property,
- driving with a suspended license
- breaking and getting into with property harm
- wanton and malicious destruction of property
- threats
- minor in possession of alcohol
- marijuana possession
- possession with intent to distribute
- non-marijuana drug possession.
DA Rollins was later introduced into the Biden administration—as US Lawyer for the District of Massachusetts—however quickly needed to resign after an ethics probe discovered that she had dedicated “egregious” moral violations and “abuse of energy”
Mayor Michelle Wu presumably knew that when she was requested whether or not she agreed with DA Rollins’ do-not-prosecute listing.
Sure, she replied, she agreed with it.
So shoplifters, thieves, burglars, vandals, and so forth are ABOVE THE LAW in Boston, or quickly shall be.
What will get you arrested these days?

Throw away the important thing!
So sure, in all equity, there’s a class of individuals not ABOVE THE LAW.
That class simply doesn’t embrace alien border-jumpers, Boston shoplifters and burglars, and U.S. Vice Presidents promoting their affect to Chinese language, Russian, and Ukrainian enterprise moguls.
