UPDATED (4/23/016): Giving Voice (& A Little Advice) To Voiceless South Africans

IMMIGRATION, Justice, Law, South-Africa

The West is unenlightened when it comes to life in South Africa, in general; for whites, in particular. Accompanied by a picture of a gorgeous little girl, a young South African dad—he’d make a magnificent contribution to the US—wrote to me the other day for a plan of escape. He has little chance of getting into the US legally. US immigration laws privilege—and select for—Third Wold scofflaws. To understand how US immigration policies penalize law-abiding, white, middle-class migrants bereft of the H-1B or O-1 Visa requirements, read “Please, Can My Sister Become An Illegal Immigrant?” (boy, did G. Bush compound the problem while in office).

Suffice it to say that this man would never consider entering the country illegally without his beloved family. And even if he did; there is no militant identity group agitating on his behalf. In fact, in researching my book, “Into The Cannibal’s Pot,” I was unable to find a case of a judge affording a sympathetic hearing to a white, migrant, South-African family. The one family, having overstayed its visa and built a wonderful life, bolstered as it was by affidavits from church and community—they were sent packing by an American rogue in judicial robes.

Here’s the note received. It’s heavily redacted for his own protection. My reply follows. The following points were not brought up in the original reply:

* The dangers of couples like this falling prey to ruthless hoaxes and exploitation. The best sources for lawful immigration possibilities are reputable immigration lawyers, consulates and attendant websites.
* Canada does have a more rational, flexible immigration system, taking into account age, facility with French and English, and qualifications with respect to the changing needs of the country’s economy.

Dear Ilana,

I don’t know where to start, so I will begin with what is most important in my life, the reason for me writing this: my beautiful, 4-year-old blond baby girl.

The other day she asked me, “Daddy… will the bad man come to hurt me?” I said no they won’t because daddy will always protect you, but I knew that it’s a promise I cannot keep if she remains in South Africa.

She is stuck here surrounded by rapists, torturers and murderers. Every day I fear for her safety, every day I am reminded that she has no future here in South Africa.

I desperately need to get my family out, but we simply do not have the means to emigrate. We own very little …

We don’t want charity. What I am hoping for is that you perhaps know businessmen in the US who would be willing to employ me (or both of us).

I am 33, Afrikaans, but fully bilingual. I have 11 years of experience in the office automation industry …, technical and sales. For the last 6 years I have been running a small business from home … . I am willing to do any kind of work as long as I can support my family with it. …

… My wife is English speaking. She has extensive experience in banking and office administration.

We are both honest and hardworking people. We will be productive members of our community, wherever that may be.

We just want a normal life and to live in a country where my daughter can grow up in relative safety.

I pray that you can assist us, but even if you cannot I am eternally grateful that you are enlightening the world about what is going on in SA.

God bless you and your family
Yours Sincerely
Anon

My reply:

Dear Anon,

My heart breaks at your plight. I know it’s pervasive. As you know, my book speaks to this.

Legal immigration into the US is hard. Especially for whites. For South Africans US law has no compassion, unless non-white.

Immigration lawyers are expensive.

The criteria to enter the US have not changed; it’s still near impossible legally and while white.

Go online and investigate Australia, New Zealand and Canada. (See my opening comment about Canada. This may be the case with the other two countries.)

I’m thinking Eastern European countries like Hungary and Poland might be a good bet. That’s just me reading the tea leaves. These are places desperate to keep their heritage and national sanity. Having emerged from communism; they’re not as collectively dumb as the Anglo-American Fabians.

South American countries like Chile, too.

Sadly, all I can do is write. I will certainly write about your plight, taking care to keep your info private, of course.

I have family in SA, so …

I do hope you can carry a fire arm, although I know the right to defend your life is now heavily circumscribed. It wasn’t that way when I lived near Vereeniging.

Let me know how you and your lovely family (little one is gorgeous) are doing.

UPDATED: Obama Will Likely Use The Equivalent Of An Executive Order To Fill SCOTUS Vacancy

Barack Obama, Federalism, Justice, Law, The Courts

It’s called a recess appointment, and we know enough about President Barack Obama to know he’ll use it to fill the Supreme Court vacancy (left by Antonin Scalia’s death), in the teeth of Republican opposition.

Over to professor Jonathan Turley:

… Faced with a refusal of the Republican senators to move forward with a nominee for the court in the last year of the Obama Administration, President Obama could use the nuclear option: a recess appointment to the Supreme Court.

Under Article II of the U.S. Constitution a president is allowed to temporarily fill vacancies that “may happen during the Recess of the Senate.” I have long been a critic of recess appointments to the judiciary. While far less common than appointments to the Executive Branch, such appointments have occurred historically (including 12 to the Supreme Court).Yet judicial recess appointments undermine the integrity of the courts by using the equivalent of a judicial temp for a position that was meant to be held by a jurist with lifetime tenure.

The framers wanted a president and the Senate to come to an accord on such appointments, including the need to compromise to achieve such goals. Obama, however, made it clear years ago that he was willing to go it alone when Congress failed to give him legislation or confirmations that he demanded. His unilateral actions have already produced a constitutional crisis over the fundamental guarantees of the separation of powers. This includes a unanimous 2014 decision of the Supreme Court that Obama violated the recess appointments clause in his circumvention of the Senate. …

More Turley.

Meanwhile, Republicans prepare to cave:

OBAMA’S BACKGROUND:

Jeff Deist:

More debunking of the “Obama is brilliant” narrative. He was never a constitutional scholar, a con law professor, or even a top law student.
And his vaunted aloofness is not due to being intelligent and bored- it’s due to being out of his league.
He is, and was, an empty suit. A complete cipher in 2008, thanks to a compliant media in the tank for him.
Note also Obama’s pseudo-intellectual interest in phony theories like Alinsky’s “Power Analysis.”

“Chicago Law Prof on Obama: The Professors Hated Him because he was Lazy, Unqualified & Never Attended any of the Faculty Meetings.”

The Winning Trump Ticket & Cabinet (Part I)

“The Winning Trump Ticket & Cabinet” (Part I) is the current column, now on WND. An excerpt:

If Donald J. Trump wishes to lessen the impact of his disappointing second in the Iowa caucuses and walk back the tack he’s taken with Ted Cruz—he must begin to think big and talk big.

Loud in not necessarily big.

Call it triangulation, a concept associated with Bill Clinton’s successful strategies, or call it “the art of the deal”: It’s time for Trump to DO IT.

To this end, Trump must quit the “we don’t win anymore” formulaic rhapsody, and start fleshing out substantive positions. A pragmatist does so by introducing the people he’ll be recruiting to “Make America Great Again.”

To Cruz belongs the Trump Department of Justice portfolio. Offering Justice to Cruz allows Trump to both put Ted in his place as unsuited to the presidency; while simultaneously making him part of Team Trump and repairing that relationship.

Ted is too soft to be US president in these troubled times. But he’d make a spectacular attorney general in charge of DOJ.

There’s a reason George W. Bush hates Ted Cruz. In 2008, Cruz gave America reason to cue the mariachi band and celebrate the death of detritus José Medellín.

As part of a gangbanger initiation rite, Medellín had raped (in every way possible), strangled, slashed, and stomped two young Texan girls to death.

“In Texas,” to quote another Ron from the Lone Star State, “we have the death penalty and we use it. If you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back.”

Bush 43 would wrestle a crocodile for a criminal alien. Backed by Bush—and on behalf of Medellín and other killer compadres awaiting a similar fate—Mexico promptly sued the US over procedural technicalities in the International Court of Justice. The president ordered Texas to halt the execution of murderer and rapist Medellín.

Texas’ heroic solicitor general said no.

Cruz took the case to the Supreme Court. There, he bested Bush and his lickspittles. As the Conservative Review gloated, Cruz “won the case, 6-to-3.” He had sought justice for Americans against a president who subjugated them to international courts. Ted, moreover, was forever gracious about Bush; Bush and his bambino bro routinely slime Ted. (In trashing Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Trump is in bad company.) …

Standoff Between Feds & Farmers Brewing In Burns, Oregon

Constitution, Criminal Injustice, Justice, libertarianism, Private Property

You cannot call yourself libertarian if you want the central government to police people for propriety of thought. That’s the work of the federal-government enmeshed Southern Poverty Law Center, which runs a money racket second only to the race rackets run by Jessie Jackson and Reverend Sharpton. Cultural Marxists that they are, the SPLC has declared the militia led by Marine Jon Ritzheimer a hate group and this group’s defense of farmers and their constitutional right to be free of federal incursion and oppression hateful.
