Episode notes
Eroding Citizenship and Integration
- Citizenship today is diluted by illegal residency, voting by non-citizens, and blurred rights between residents and citizens.
- The constitutional concept of empowered citizens who control their fate is eroding, risking balkanization and loss of integration.
Immigration Shift Alters Demographics
- The 1965 immigration law removed merit-based qualifications, privileging familial ties and proximity.
- This was designed to create a new demographic favorable to the Democratic Party via increased dependency on government aid.
The DEI 'Frankenstein' Effect
- DEI policies were architected by wealthy whites who shield themselves while imposing penalties on white males via university admissions.
- Elite universities inflate grades and lower standards to appease DEI demands, damaging meritocratic value.
