Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Paris Is Burning

The rest of Europe will soon follow, unless it confronts the failure of multiculturalism head-on

It won't. That's why it's burning.

However, a thorough examination of the countless videos circulating on social media, contemporary news reports, and even heat maps showing the locations of the incidents suggests something far more uncomfortable for French politicians: A significant proportion of those involved appear to have been French citizens of African origin, perhaps second- or third-generation immigrants, coming from the marginalized housing estates where they have been concentrated for decades without integrating into the values of the nation that welcomed them.

Even if we accept the idea that the violence of 2019 was driven by the collective frustration of PSG supporters, what explanation can be offered for the fact that the riots were even worse after the club finally won, first in 2025 and now again in 2026?

GOP senators rally around new DHS proposal targeting sanctuary cities: 'Should pay a price'

Lindsey Graham says cities that 'undercut federal law' should face 'consequences' as Democrats call the idea 'insane'

Republican senators signaled support for imposing consequences on sanctuary cities after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin floated a proposal to pull Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers from airports in jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

"I think there should be consequences to cities and states that undercut federal law," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News Digital. "I think they should pay a price for what they do. I agree with what he’s doing."

Mullin has framed the proposal as a response to sanctuary cities that are limiting or refusing cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and disputes over immigration enforcement funding.

The plan has received mounting backlash from Democrats as pulling these agents from blue city airports would halt all international travel into major airports. Without customs agents, passengers and cargo are unable to travel internationally, and would also impact Americans coming back to the United States after travelling overseas.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy also expressed opposition to the idea, emphasizing the need for open travel.

But, Mullin still says the idea is on the table and actively being considered.

"I think it’s a choice that those cities make and they’d have to weigh the consequences of it," Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., said. "If they want to be a sanctuary city, they’ve made that choice and they’re getting a response now from Homeland Security."

Other GOP senators said they had not yet reviewed the proposal and wanted additional details before weighing in.

"I don't know about this," Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO., said. "Somebody else asked me about that, and I hadn’t seen that from him yet. So I don't know. I don’t know what to make of that."

"I need to learn more about it," Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., said.

"I’m gonna find out what’s going on," Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said.

Mullin was grilled last week during a Senate hearing about these threats to pull officers from major city airports, where Democrats referred to the idea as "outrageous" and "insane," citing the likelihood of chaos and devastating impacts to the economy as a result of the projected high travel rates that would be effectively killed throughout the upcoming summer months.

Fischer was also asked whether the proposal, if implemented, would change how sanctuary cities communicate and cooperate with ICE.

"I have no idea what the cities would do," Fischer replied. "I would hope that their law enforcement would cooperate with ICE. ICE is federal law enforcement. They're doing their job. They’re following the law."

The proposal comes as the U.S. prepares to host millions of international visitors for the World Cup, which is expected to generate some of the highest inbound travel volumes in years.

First, this youtuber has 9.49 million subscribers because he is striking a chord with people.

Second, Trump wants to tell you that because he is getting rid of a few illegals that he is tackling the immigration problem. The real immigration problem is the subject of the videos this youtuber is putting out. That's why this particular one has 3 million views and over 40,000 comments. As Europe burns as was noted yesterday. The comments are spot on and truthful.

Third, the reason people voted for Trump is because he promised to solve the immigration problem. Since he has taken office, the problem has grown by leaps and bounds. This was entirely predictable.

Fourth, since Trump has failed to solve the immigration problem, as was entirely predictable, people will now start to look for alternative solutions. Without doing a full blown analysis of the population in that area, I would venture to say that choosing Frisco as a location for replacement of the native population is problematic because it can easily be a target for a domestic insurgency, as it is on the far north edge of the Dallas Metroplex and butts up against rural areas full of ex military, hunters, preppers, etc.

Has the number of Indians in the US increased or decreased since Trump took office in January 2025?

AI Overview

The total number of Indian immigrants and Indian Americans in the US has generally grown over the long term, but net international migration has significantly slowed. While exact, finalized demographic counts for late 2025 and 2026 are still being processed by the U.S. Census Bureau, data shows a marked nationwide decrease in overall immigration and international student entries since the Trump administration took office in January 2025.

Key factors influencing this shift include:

Student Visas: Higher education centers saw a sharp drop in incoming international students, with arrivals from India seeing a reported reduction during the fall 2025 semester.

Deportations: In 2025, over 3,800 Indian nationals were deported from the US, an uptick in enforcement actions.

General Migration Trends: Overall net international migration to the US has dropped, affecting both legal and unauthorized immigration streams.

Longer-term demographic realities tracked by the Pew Research Center show that two-thirds of the US Indian population are foreign-born immigrants, making this demographic highly sensitive to shifts in international entry, visa approvals, and enforcement policies
