Carbon is the building block for all life on Earth and accounts for approximately 45–50% of all dry biomass. When bonded with elements like hydrogen, it produces the organic molecules known as hydrocarbons. When bonded with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, it produces pyrimidines and purines, the very basis for DNA. The carbon cycle, where carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and back again, is also integral to maintaining life on Earth over time. As a result, scientists believe that carbon should be easy to find in space, but this is not always the case. While it has been observed in many places, astronomers have not found it in the volumes they would expect to. However, a new study by an international team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) has revealed a new type of complex molecule in interstellar space. Known as 1-cyanoprene, this discovery could reveal where the building blocks of life can be found and how they evolve. The research was led by Gabi Wenzel, a postdoctoral researcher from the Department of Chemistry at MIT. She was joined by researchers from the CfA, the University of British Columbia, the University of Michigan, the University of Worchester, the University of Virginia, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and the Astrochemistry Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The paper that describes their findings recently appeared in the journal Science. Artist’s impression of complex organic molecules in space. Credit: NSF/NSF NRAO/AUI/S. Dagnello For their study, the team relied on the NSF Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the most accurate, versatile, and largest fully-steerable radio telescope in the world, located at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. This sophisticated instrument allowed the team to detect the presence of 1-cyanopyrene based on its unique rotational spectrum. 1-cyanoprene is a complex molecule composed of multiple fused benzene rings and belongs to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) class of molecules. On Earth, they are created by burning fossil fuels or other organic materials, like charred meat or burnt bread. By studying PHAs, astronomers hope to learn more about their lifecycles and how they interact with the ISM and nearby celestial bodies. As co-author Harshal Gupta, the NSF Program Director for the GBO and a Research Associate at the CfA, explained in a recent CfA press release: “Identifying the unique rotational spectrum of 1-cyanopyrene required the work of an interdisciplinary scientific team. This discovery is a great illustration of synthetic chemists, spectroscopists, astronomers, and modelers working closely and harmoniously.” This was an impressive feat due to the difficulty (or even impossibility) of detecting these molecules due to their large size and lack of a permanent dipole moment. “These are the largest molecules we’ve found in TMC-1 to date. This discovery pushes the boundaries of our understanding of the complexity of molecules that can exist in interstellar space,” added co-author MIT professor Brett McGuire, who is also an adjunct astronomer at the NSF and the NRAO. Previously, these molecules were believed to form only in high-temperature environments, like the region surrounding older stars. This concurs with what astronomers have known for a long time about certain carbon-rich stars, which produce massive amounts of small molecular sheets of carbon that they then distribute into the interstellar medium (ISM). In addition, previous research has suggested that the infrared fluorescence of PAHs – caused by the absorption of ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars – could be responsible for infrared bands observed in many celestial objects.

The intensity of these bands has led some astronomers to theorize that PAHs could account for a significant fraction of carbon in the ISM. Other astronomers have maintained that these carbon-rich molecules could not survive the harsh conditions of interstellar space because temperates in the ISM are far too low – averaging about 10 K (-263 °C; -442 °F). However, the 1-cyanopyrene molecules Wenzel and her colleagues observed were located in the nearest star-forming region to Earth, the cold interstellar cloud known as Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 (TMC-1). Since this Nebula has not yet started forming stars, its temperature is the same as that of the ISM. “TMC-1 is a natural laboratory for studying these molecules that go on to form the building blocks of stars and planets,” said Wenzel. These observations suggest that PHAs like 1-cyanopyrene may have a different formation mechanism entirely and/or can survive the harsh environment of space. In the meantime, detecting cyanopyrene can provide indirect evidence of even larger and more complex molecules in future observations.  This research was supported by measurements and analysis conducted by the molecular spectroscopy laboratory of Dr. Michael McCarthy at the CfA. As he indicated: “The microwave spectrometers developed at the CfA are unique, world-class instruments specifically designed to measure the precise radio fingerprints of complex molecules like 1-cyanopyrene. Predictions from even the most advanced quantum chemical theories are still thousands of times less accurate than what is needed to identify these molecules in space with radio telescopes, so experiments in laboratories like ours are indispensable to these ground-breaking astronomical discoveries.” Further Reading: CfA The post Astronomers Discover Potential New Building Block of Organic Matter in Interstellar Space appeared first on Universe Today.

No one in the world knows more about identifying a Hitler — or any other Nazi — than do Orthodox Jews. Hitler ultimately went after all Jews and also homosexuals and Romani people (“Gypsies”). But he and his Nazi crew particularly went after Orthodox Jews. Before they proceeded with the death camps, they loved spotting Orthodox Jews walking in the street and bloodying them, pummeling them to the ground and kicking them senseless. They made a sport of photographing themselves forcibly cutting Orthodox Jews’ beards and extended sideburns (payot). They attacked Jewish religious symbols particularly dear to and associated with Orthodox Jews. In their Nazi propaganda organ, Der Stürmer, political race cartoons depicted Jews regularly in the form of Haredi Orthodox Jews. If Puerto Ricans were angered by that stupid “joke” spoken by an idiot “comedian” at the recent Trump Madison Square Garden event, how do you imagine Orthodox Jews feel when cynically despicable Democrats like Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Tim Walz throw around terms like “Hitler” and “Nazi,” essentially leveraging those absolutely most evil of images, hoping for cynical political gain? (READ MORE: A Jackass of a ‘Comedian’ in Madison Square Garden) We are ever so deeply outraged. It denigrates what Jews (and homosexuals and Romani people) faced during the 1940s when the most evil of Democrats without souls leverage our Shoah tragedy for their hoped-for gain. It is hard to find a parallel for such cynical political exploitation of a people’s grief and tragedy. In southern California, there is a congressional district in Glendale, California, with a very large Armenian-American population. Can you imagine if local elections there all centered around each side calling the other side by the names of the most evil Turkish perpetrators of the Medz Yeghern, the Armenian genocide? Just trying to grab a few votes here and there in Glendale by regularly telling voters, “This candidate will cause a new Medz Yeghern.” Or, “He will be a return to Enver Pasha and April 24, 1915!” Or, “No, it is my opponent who is the true Talaat Pasha!” Imagine that. Ask Armenian-Americans how that would play in Glendale. For that matter, how about if American candidates for office regularly would campaign on such similar themes, repeating over and over and over: “If you vote for Rashida Tlaib, you are voting for a Hamas terrorist who will turn America into a country where babies are burned, women are raped without limit, even dead women are similarly defiled, and random civilians are beheaded. So a vote for Tlaib is a vote for rape, beheading, and burning people. Don’t let her bring Hamas into our District.” Or… “If you vote for Kamala Harris, you are voting for a return to slave ownership, the mass enslavement of Blacks and the repeal of the 14th Amendment and even the Emancipation Proclamation. Harris and her slaveowners will turn America into a country where Blacks — especially black men — lose their freedom and are sent back to cutting cotton on plantations. So a vote for Harris is a vote for a restoration of Black slavery.” Actually, both those templates are less absurd than the Trump defamation campaign. Tlaib really is quite an anti-Semite, and it is fascinating to hear her refuse to condemn Hamas and its animalistic deeds outright as indefensible. And Harris actually has a slaveowner in her family tree, and the way she and Obama talk down to Black men is downright emasculating. Trump? Perhaps no person in American history ever has been tested more viciously and incessantly than he by the abuse of American democracy, and yet he never has budged from his adherence to our Constitution. As president, his executive orders regularly were contested by Democrats who raced to Obama judges in the 9th Circuit to get nationwide injunctions banning order after order. Never in all four years — not even once — did Trump defy a court ruling against him. Not once. What kind of fascist Hitler dictator complies 100 out of 100 times with biased court decisions handed down by manifestly prejudiced judges hand-selected by litigants for their assured bias? That is the Trump test. He always abided by the law. He always worked within the system to defend from lies about “Russian collusions” and so many similar, and patiently put up with one impeachment after another. Even a “dictator” far less “fascist” than a “Hitler” would have had Nancy Pelosi arrested, the Democrat Congress disbanded, and martial law announced at the southern border and in cities like Portland, Seattle, and Minnesota for extended years. Trump, when tested under fire, was more loyal to freedom than were Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson. Trump played by the rules. He did not arrest judges or the likes of Adam Schiff who blatantly lied again and again, and even read lies into the record. He followed the rules for four years, even as Biden openly says we need to “lock him up” and Harris continues trying to promote his assassination (the ultimate “Hail Mary” to win an election when a campaign sputters a week before Election Day) by telling unstable lunatics that her opponent is a “Hitler” who will take away their freedoms and order the army to lock them away. Perhaps the most clarifying point on Trump is this: History has shown repeatedly that Orthodox Jews have the most to lose under a fascist, Hitler, Nazi-like government. Yet they support Trump overwhelmingly overwhelmingly. Those last two repetitive words were not a typo: Orthodox Jews support Trump more overwhelmingly than that word conveys. Polls show Trump’s support among Orthodox Jews ranging between 80–90 percent. There is no other demographic as pro-MAGA and pro-Trump in all of America. What are the millions among the bearded, yarmulka’d, daily worshipping, strictly kosher, rigidly Sabbath-observing pro-Trump Orthodox Jewish community saying? That they want to be put into death camps and then gas chambers and crematoria? I am an Orthodox Jew. I am voting for Trump, as are 95 percent of the people I know in my community. I assure you that we are not voting for death camps, gas chambers, and crematoria. We simply are voting to make America great again and to fix what Harris broke during the past four years. At the same time, polls show that half of American voters will be voting for Trump, give or take one person. If we were offended by Hillary in 2016 when she called us “deplorables,” are we to be less offended that Harris now calls us “fascists” and “Nazis,” saying that those who jam-packed Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27 — not only Trump, but everyone who was there and who wanted to be there — are racists, misogynists, and the rest of the “deplorables” litany? Really, a plague upon them. The Harris, Clinton, Walz effort to paint Trump as a “fascist” or “Hitler” or “Nazi” is not merely appalling; it is disgusting. And, by their defaming Trump that way, it is they who wield the Hitler-Nazi ultimate weapon: The Big Lie.

Benjamin Franklin, an Englishman born in the colonial town of Boston in 1706 but who chose to separate himself from the rule of a tyrannical British government as one of our American Founding Fathers, once wrote that “People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.” Franklin understood well the depth of the depravity that the government of his ancestors was capable of. Very little about its current manifestation would surprise him. But the British tyranny of Franklin’s time was at least intended to serve the interests of the British people, however that might be interpreted. It’s far more difficult to make a case that this is still true. We speak here of an atrocity committed by the British government, that of its treatment of activist Tommy Robinson. Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison a few days ago for … making and showing a documentary film. Bruce Bawer summarized the facts of the case quite well in Front Page magazine: In the last few days a new chapter has been added to the storied saga of the 41-year-old British activist, author, and citizen journalist Tommy Robinson. On Friday, upon his return to Britain after several weeks abroad, he was taken into police custody – an event he had expected and discussed publicly before flying back home – and charged with several “offenses.” One of the charges, contempt of court, relates to his documentary Silenced, which premiered in July at a screening in Trafalgar Square and has been viewed on X more than 50 million times. In that documentary, Tommy gathered ample witness testimony showing that Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee portrayed in the British media as the victim of bullying at the school he attended in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, in 2018, was not a victim but was, in fact, himself a bully – and a rather horrible one, at that. What, then, was Tommy’s crime? He’d been ordered by a judge not to contradict the official narrative about Hijazi – specifically, not to describe him as “aggressive and bullying” or as “threatening,” even if he was aggressive and bullying and threatening. A second contempt-of-court charge was leveled at Tommy for several related “offenses,” such as discussing the Hijazi case in an interview with Jordan Peterson, holding that July screening in Trafalgar Square, and posting Silenced on X and YouTube. In addition to the contempt charges, Tommy was charged under the Terrorism Act for refusing to provide the police with access to the contents of his mobile phone, which include material that would compromise his sources. On Saturday, supporters of Tommy held a “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London, turning out in such significant numbers that, as the Guardian put it, “the demonstration spilled out from its meeting point around Victoria Station.” The Guardian made sure to point out that the protesters, many of whom were treated to an outdoor screening of his new documentary, Lawfare, were “mostly male, white and middle-aged” (all bad things, of course) and that many of them were waving Union Jacks (that most toxic of items). Meanwhile counter-protesters took part in a rally arranged by a leftist group called Stand Up to Racism. Tommy Robinson must be run through kangaroo court after kangaroo court and reviled as a racist because he is committing the crime of standing up for the English, in England. The discredited Tory Conservative Party and the abominable Labour Party have combined to create a situation where in only 20 years the native British population of Great Britain has declined from 87 percent of that country’s live bodies to only 74 percent. It’s possibly the greatest non-wartime civilizational retreat in modern world history, and it has been supervised and fueled by a bipartisan consensus of the British ruling elite over the direct opposition of the bulk of the British people. They have nowhere to turn, unless it is to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party, an upstart the Conservatives are blaming for having split the center-right vote and allowed Labour to take power in the July elections. Farage is no fan of Robinson’s. Certainly, neither is the loathsome tyrant Keir Starmer, who currently heads the Labour government that is plunging that country into despair. But Robinson’s current problems notwithstanding, he wasn’t made a pariah for standing up to jihadists and Muslim rape gangs by the Hard Left in his country. His legal problems, and it’s been more than a decade of his having spent stints as a political prisoner (it’s difficult to characterize his experience any other way), arose chiefly if not solely while the Tories held power from 2010 to this summer. As has the turbocharged mass migration binge that has changed British society in ways that alarm millions and millions of its citizens. Unlike Franklin, modern Americans can’t fully comprehend how contemptuously the British government has treated its own people. Franklin would certainly fail to understand, though, how a government could allow foreign-born individuals in service to a hostile culture to create networks by which English girls — as young as 12! — would be recruited and groomed as sex slaves, hooked on heroin, and turned out for prostitution in open view of the police, without much of any sanction placed on them. Perhaps we’re beginning to understand it here in this country. But this has gone on for two decades in the U.K. Everyone knows about it. The ruling class has denied the public’s right to speak to the issue, as Robinson’s experience attests. Even local police, as in the case of the massively scandalous grooming gang operating for years in Rotherham, with literally thousands of victims, wouldn’t act against the rape gangs for fear of being called “racist.” The ruling class in the U.K. has effectively made “racism” a worse crime than rape. As it rapes the future of its citizens in the name of “climate change.” The last coal-fired power plant in Great Britain was shuttered on Sept. 30. That was the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station in Nottinghamshire. Coal used to power the British economy; now, the U.K. depends on unreliable wind energy for an utterly irresponsible 30 percent of its baseload power, with a common expectation of rolling blackouts shortly to follow. And the day after Ratcliffe-on-Soar was decommissioned, Tata Steel shut down the Port Talbot Steelworks, putting more than 3,000 Welshmen out of work and reducing an entire community to poverty. Electricity in Great Britain costs 77 percent more than it does in the United States. Little wonder, then, that Great Britain is swiftly being deindustrialized. And in the post-industrial hellscape that remains, Starmer is busily eliminating the subsidy the government offers to pensioners to offset the greater heating costs its policies have imposed on them. While at the same time he’s under fire for having partaken greedily from a mountain of swag — clothes, concert tickets, and lots of other goodies — from campaign donors. Corruption and evil such as this can’t be defended in an open forum, so the forum is closed. Just ask Tommy Robinson, who is in prison for attempting to tell the truth about a Syrian migrant who made himself a threat to a community and provoked a response from that community. He’s in jail not as a criminal. He’s in jail as an example. The tyrants who rule Britain want no more Tommy Robinsons, because eventually they will run into critics they can’t dismiss as “racists” or “Islamophobes.” And as Britain suffers under their misrule, the Tommy Robinsons will multiply. They won’t all be “working-class blokes” with an accent to match. Some might be as posh as the tyrants. All will note that the British people are running out of time to throw off the tyrants before they become a minority in their own land at the hands of people who prefer sharia to the Ten Commandments. Somehow it’s “racist” to see that outcome as undesirable. Americans should note what is happening in the U.K. Our ruling class is no less corrupt and no less contemptuous of our people, and its works are no less damaging. They’ve just been at it longer in Britain, and they’re descending more quickly than are we. Free Tommy Robinson. And free Great Britain, before it’s no longer great.

“Yes, I do. Yes, I do.” No, this wasn’t a response from the vice president to a “marriage proposal.” Rather, such was the refrain of Kamala Harris who has apparently entered the “Trump is a fascist” phase of her wilting campaign. Asked at a CNN town hall whether she thinks Donald Trump is a fascist, Harris was not content with one “Yes, I do”; it took two. Goldberg argues that fascism shared roots in common with what we call modern liberalism or progressivism. Harris went on to say that while it is true that the American people care about the economy, they “also care about our democracy and not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.” The occasion for Harris’ new line of attack is former Trump chief of staff John Kelly telling the New York Times that Trump meets the definition of a fascist, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley maintaining, according to Bob Woodward, that Trump is “fascist to the core.” But for scholars who’ve long studied fascism, defining fascism isn’t so simple. “We’re not just debating whether or not Trump fits that definition; we are not agreeing on what that definition is,” Sheri Berman, a political science professor at Barnard College, Columbia University, told ABC News in an interview. There is no scholarly consensus on the term, according to both Berman and Mark Bray, a political scientist from Rutgers University. This is, in part, because fascists historically have not been tied to “rational consistency,” Bray said, pointing to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler, whose policy positions changed on a variety of occasions. Donald Trump is many things, but inconsistent in his reasoning — what he thinks — is not one of them. To Berman, fascists are totalitarian with the goal of not just controlling politics, but reshaping society and controlling the economy. Donald Trump advocates free markets to grow the economy, not control it. The Progressive Flirtation With Fascism There are other ways of looking at fascism and assessing who might fall under that rubric. Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini have become, for many of us, generic personifications of evil or (in Mussolini’s case) an authoritarian buffoon. Yet, their ideologies were rooted in specific philosophical ideas — ideas which had many respectable adherents in their day. One person who articulates this view is Jonah Goldberg, author of the 2007 book Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. Goldberg argues that fascism shared roots in common with what we call modern liberalism or progressivism. People often argue over whether Hitler and Mussolini were “right-wing” or “left-wing.” More to the point is that, according to Goldberg, both men’s ideologies had roots in the Progressive movement of the turn of the 20th century. The Progressive movement was closely tied to the philosophy of Pragmatism: the belief that thought is a tool for action and change. In contrast to the ancient and medieval philosophers, for whom philosophy was the contemplation of reality, the Progressives were animated by the desire to mold reality and to harness knowledge for social betterment. Many in the vanguard of progressive thought initially were enamored of Mussolini and even Hitler, considering their dictatorships an interesting “social experiment.” H. G. Wells, the popular science fiction writer, was one such progressive. In a number of speeches and books he praised the militaristic social mobilization in the new fascist regimes: an entire society moving as a single unit under the rule of a Nietzschean superman. Complete state control of all aspects of life was seen as highly pragmatic and scientific by many. Nationalism and militarism — elements commonly associated with the Right — were actually key components of the Progressive Era, flourishing in particular under President Woodrow Wilson, as Goldberg documents in his text. Goldberg probably goes too far in his characterizations, but that fact does not diminish the weight of a further point. One does not have to cite progressive thinkers like Wells who considered early 20th century dictatorships a useful “social experiment,” or Democratic fans of eugenics, to underscore the totalitarian threat in America’s history. Moreover, frightening examples are still with us today in the form of woke ideology, Antifa, BLM, and others. Fascism Does Not Accord With Trump History illustrates that 20th-century fascists detested parliamentary democracy. They subscribed to the state as preeminent over the individual, holding bourgeois existence in contempt, promoting a cult of personality idealization. Violence was fundamental to fascist rule, illustrating nihilistic tendencies and the elevation of and reliance on the military to achieve its goal. Trump was presented with the perfect opportunity to use military force in 2020, when post-George Floyd rioters torched American cities in the most sustained and materially damaging riots in U.S. history. Many people called on Trump to do just that. Yet, for better or for worse, Trump refused to call in the National Guard, hardly the tendency of a Hitler or a Mussolini. In fact, the “Fuhrer” held to an existential struggle within our species, a conflict the “Aryan race” would perpetrate toward subjugation or annihilation of any peoples perceived as inferior. No one (including the Democratic candidate for president) provides any compelling evidence to support the idea of Trump deploying a paramilitary wing of the GOP to intimidate and war with his “enemies” on America’s streets. Yes, Trump utters crude and undignified remarks and acted unwisely after the 2020 election. But the notion that there is any meaningful correlation between the former president and the horrific movements or despots of the past is absent of any reasonable merit. Rather than pursuing the classic fascist objective of territorial expansion and self-aggrandizement through conquest, Trump often contends against his own party’s war hawks — frequently getting him into trouble. For years now, Trump has campaigned on his success in keeping the U.S. out of wars, and it is difficult to think of a president who has consistently stood up to and confronted the top military brass. In Trump’s first term in the White House, he appointed strict constitutionalist judges, most of whom have sought to reduce the size and power of the federal government. Trump extolled the virtues of free enterprise, restored due process on college campuses, and proved, like no other president, a profound friend of the Jewish state — recognizing Jerusalem as its capital, the Golan Heights as Israeli sovereign territory, and sponsoring the Abraham Accords. Instead of pursuing a fascist politics of racial purity, his efforts of his campaign for president are directed towards putting together a more multi-racial political coalition, and he is, in fact, demonstrating success in this regard. The accusations against Trump as a fascist rely on misinformation, deceit, innuendo, and frankly just plain ignorance of history. And it comes — especially in the case of disgruntled former generals John Kelly and Mark Milley — from those unable to succeed without diminishing the capabilities of someone they can’t measure up to or, more the point, that they just don’t like — it’s personal. Fascism is not endemic to American soil, but Donald J. Trump, to borrow General Milley’s own phraseology, “is American to his core.” This is precisely the type of American we should want as president of the United States. READ MORE from F.

Although I am not a betting man, I would wager that the vast majority of American citizens cannot wait for this election cycle to be complete. Those who pay the closest attention to campaign messaging are not snowed by the avalanche of policy half-truths, innuendos, and lies of omission emanating from Vice President Kamala Harris and her acolytes. It is hard for most Americans to conceive of the motivation behind the lack of effective illegal immigration controls. Early in her current electoral quest, Harris put out a statement regarding the hot-button border/immigration issue that read “Congress must act. Unfortunately, we have too often been met with those who sought to play political games instead of participating in solutions.” I do not know if Harris has ever seriously reflected on this border and immigration statement, but should she do so, her own conclusions might be quite alarming. One particular immigration misrepresentation by Harris and her like-minded Senate colleagues is that the Republicans have been AWOL when it comes to advancing serious border initiatives. There is ample evidence to the contrary. Democrat Tricks on Border Bills There were two distinct initiatives by Republicans that ran completely counter to the “playing games instead of participating in solutions” assertion. The first was that Sen. James Lankford did propose legislation, which, after negotiation with the Democrat majority, was very deeply flawed. It allowed up to an additional two million immigrants to enter the U.S per year; that was defeated on a procedural motion in the Senate. The second was a Democrat tactical ploy she also fails to mention. The House passed HR 2, the Secure the Border Act, in May 2023 and was sent to the Senate. So, when the Lankford bill was introduced, the White House and Senate Democrats came up with a scheme to stop a House/Senate border bill conference and at the same time reframe the immigration deliberations. By stopping any border bill in the Senate, the Democrats sought to hang the border crisis around former President Donald Trump’s neck, calculating that this immigration mess could be turned into a winning campaign issue for them. During debate on Lankford’s bill, Democrat senators stated that they and the Biden–Harris administration were, of course, for securing the border, but still very much committed to being pro-immigrant. In stark contrast, they asserted that Trump was only focused on mass deportations and, as a xenophobe, stopping immigration altogether. Consequently, they argued, it was Trump’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering that killed Lankford’s immigration bill. Indeed, a conference on the border legislation could not be scheduled since the Lankford legislation or a substitute was never passed; the bill was then exiled to the Senate “calendar,” where it has been parked ever since. What is never discussed by partisans or the media is that if Lankford’s Senate bill had been passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate, a conference committee would have taken up both the House and Senate versions of the border legislation. In that scenario, it is likely it would have forced a Senate compromise on the Democrat demands of allowing an additional two million unvetted immigrants entry into the U.S. That provision alone killed any chance of Republican votes, much to the delight of the Democrats and to the detriment of most American citizens. What Republicans Wanted for the Border Here are some of the most salient provisions of HR 2 that the Senate Democrats sidestepped by killing the Senate bill. The bill required the Department of Homeland Security to resume and complete construction of the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The proposal required detention of those who attempted to enter the U.S. outside of designated ports of entry and it ended the “catch and release” program. It called for an increase in the number of Border Patrol agents to at least 22,000. Their focus would be changed from expediting processing of immigrants for entry to the U.S. to assessing asylum claims. They were to restrict entry to those who were able to prove they were “more likely than not” to qualify for asylum because they were fearing persecution. Thus, Borer Patrol agents would be charged with evaluating well-rehearsed, uniform “fear” declarations that cartel members had immigrants practice prior to approaching the border. Many border personnel have been quoted as saying that, in their experience, an exceedingly minute percentage of immigrants were actually motivated by these fears. (READ MORE: Unchecked Immigration Has Transformed America) Most were focused on the magnet of enhancing their economic well-being, whether through U.S. government support programs or by attaining illegal employment. But under the House provisions, U.S. businesses would have been required to use E-Verify to check the work eligibility of newly arrived immigrants for those seeking employment. Additionally, the House bill would have reinstated the Remain in Mexico policy, which mandated asylum seekers deemed reasonably safe from persecution or violence to be sent back to Mexico to await adjudication of their claim. And it would have granted access to information that ensured Border Patrol access to the criminal history records of the illegals’ home countries prior to entry. It seems evident that the House measures represented a stringent, enforcement-focused approach to border security and immigration control, which is why it was never pushed to a conference by the Senate Democrats. They had no appetite to reconcile the status quo brought about by President Joe Biden’s rescinding of 94 related executive orders, which grew the illegal U.S. population by millions. It is hard for most Americans to conceive of the motivation behind the lack of effective illegal immigration controls. The answer, despite the vehement protestations of the open border crowd, is a lust for political power, which in the U.S. comes by way of the ballot box. But how can noncitizens possibly gain access to the ballot box? Illegals Vote By law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. But it has been clearly demonstrated in a number of states that illegals certainly do participate in elections. After all, the vast majority of states do not require any proof of citizenship to vote. None. Thus, a peer-reviewed study in 2014 estimated that about 25 percent of noncitizens were registered to vote in 2008 and 2010. Moreover, they suggest that as many as 2.8 million of them actually voted. (READ MORE: Non-Citizens Have Been Voting Since 2008) What’s more, the states that have enacted “Motor Voter” laws only require an applicant to check a box stating that they are legal citizens in order to be registered; it is based on the honor system and is generally never questioned. If that is not enough, there have already been moves in Democrat-run states and cities to “legally” allow noncitizens to vote in elections. Municipalities in New York, California, the District of Columbia, and Vermont have now granted noncitizens (including illegals) access to voting in state and local elections (though the courts, in some instances, have intervened). Initiatives of this sort will undoubtedly grow unless Congress intercedes. But intercede it must if we hope to retain the bedrock principle of the consent of the governed. Finally, it should be noted that the Democrats under Senate rules certainly had the right to slow-walk border bills to a conference committee for negotiation. But by doing so, they well knew that they were submerging the House border bill deep into amber so it could not emerge to bring about border and immigration solutions on their watch. Marc E.
