The Bait-and-Switch

The Mass Immigration Con Game

The recent tussle on X/Twitter over H1-Bs has brought mass migration back to the headlines. Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and a number of other tech bros want more H1-B visas issued to foreigners — because American workers are “lazy,” or “dumb,” or they lack a “culture” of work, etc. By contrast, MAGA bros want American companies to prioritize American workers in hiring decisions.

The MAGA bros have a point; a country should favour its own citizens first and foremost. The deeper issue is that H1-B workers, should they attain citizenship down the line, can worsen the United States. When it comes to Indian immigrants, for example, most vote Democrat. So do Asian-Americans.

There is a nuanced discussion to be had about the problems in American culture itself, but that is for another day. This article is not solely about mass migration or American culture.

Rather, I propose a separate thesis: that mass migration is a useful excuse for Western elites to bring about digital IDs, central bank digital currencies, and other tools to enslave Western populations. This will be done with the purported intent of tracking who comes into the country legally and enforcing mass deportations. In reality, it will do nothing except seduce the right-wing into agreeing to its own enslavement.

That digital ID leads to tyranny is clear from the Covid lockdown period. Health authorities used digital contact tracing to limit freedom of movement and association. The Canadian military exploited this opportunity to spy on Canadian residents, and to “test propaganda techniques.” If you want to know what a worst case scenario looks like, then read my prior article about this:

The U.S. has already implemented aspects of this system. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses biometrics. States have rolled out mobile identification. And various states have banned minors from viewing pornography by requiring age verification (instead of just banning porn altogether).

To be clear, I am not anti-technology. I would support digital ID under two conditions: firstly, if it were a clear improvement over physical ID, and secondly, if Western governments would not abuse the technology to violate civil liberties. In essence, I worry about the the tyranny of Western oligarchs, who have shown nothing but a blatant disregard for us plebians over the past few decades.

There is also evidence that malice is what the elites are planning. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The World Bank, and The World Economic Forum have all tabled plans for digital identification systems. These are couched in technical jargon, but involve, at their extreme expression, controlling movement in order to limit “climate change.” You will live in a digital prison, work as a serf, and you will eat the bugs.

Having Donald Trump in power may grant reprieve from such globalist pressures — Trump, for example, is opposed to central bank digital currencies — but there are still reasons to be concerned. Trump has surrounded himself with tech oligarchs, like Elon Musk and the Palantir crowd, who would stand to benefit from the rollout of a digital identification and mass surveillance system. It is plausible that these tech titans would harness the MAGA anger against immigration to unveil a digital leviathan.

In other countries, a digital tyranny is almost certain to come to fruition. In July, Sir Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of the UK, trotted out his solution to Britain’s mass migration headache: digital ID. Sir Tony, ironically enough, is responsible for much of the UK’s mass migration problem: his 1999 Immigration and Asylum Act, followed by multiple other immigration policies, opened the floodgates to low-skilled migrants which Britain contends with today.

The claim that a digital ID would make deporting and processing migrants easier is not borne out by history. The largest deportation in American history, Operation Wetback, happened in 1954. It involved only 750 U.S officials, as well as several jeeps, buses, and airplanes. Over 1 million illegal Mexican migrants were successfully deported, at a time before digitial ID. It is not clear how digital ID would improve upon this process.

Of course, improvements to immigration are not what the globalists want. The uncouth masses brought into Western countries roam freely, raping and pillaging, without fearing consequences for their misdeeds. The law-abiding citizen, by contrast, has to fear lest he utter a critical word online. They want you to be afraid. They want an anarcho-tyranny, and a digital ID is just an extra step towards their goal of complete domination.
