Well, yesterday, of course, was Martin Luther King Jr. Day a day celebrating the legacy of a man who is famous in the United States for saying that we ought to judge people based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. Because so many Democrats were deeply involved in the civil rights movement. Here, I speak mostly about LBJ and some northern Democrats, because of course the story of the Civil Rights Act is one of southern Democrats largely opposing the civil rights movement. All of the main actors opposing the civil rights movement were, in fact, southern Democrats. Despite that, Democrats have been searching ever since the civil rights movement for the next civil rights movement. And we've seen many iterations of this over the course of the subsequent decades. We saw a quasi-civil rights movement, for example, pushed by the left with regard to gender and sexuality, the idea that women had to be freed from the predations of the patriarchy the same way that black people required freeing from the predations of Jim Crow. That of course was a bad analogy. And then we heard the same thing with regard to LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign, that this was the new civil rights movement. Well now, Democrats seem to have hit upon the idea that the new civil rights movement is in fact illegal immigration. That illegal immigrants must be allowed to stay in the United States. And that enforcement of the law with regard to illegal immigration is itself a form of white supremacy. The reason that Democrats are stretching on this one is because in other areas they're sort of running out of examples of widespread American racism. Like true policy driven American racism. They're running out of those examples. The demand is higher than the supply. So just to take a quick example, Eric Holder, the former Attorney General of the United States, on Martin Luther King Day, suggested that the Voting Rights Act is under deep and abiding threat. And not only that, that there is the threat that America was about to be resegregated by the Trump administration.
