From Chronicles:
Mamdani belongs to a generation of leftist politicians with tenuous ties to the nation they inhabit and would presume to rule. Mamdani, at least according to his mother, is “not American at all.” To his credit Mamdani has charisma, which sets him apart from more openly antagonistic figures like Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is practically a walking advertisement for closed borders. Mamdani’s parents came to the United States legally in 1998, although their move clearly did nothing to inculcate a sense of loyalty or national pride in them or their then-seven-year-old son.
Demographic change has transformed America since the immigration reforms of the 1960s. The Trump administration is now trying to play catch up for decades of mistakes, and is facing serious obstruction carrying out promised mass deportations. ICE’s activities have sparked a street war with fifth columnists, many from Latin America (the same people touted as “natural conservatives” by acolytes of George W. Bush). Yet Trump’s support among Hispanics has fallen sharply since January, despite the hullabaloo about Trump’s gains with Latinos in 2024.
The time to stop Mamdani’s rise was long ago—long before the people who would take over New York City, my hometown on Long Island, and countless other localities across America had the chance to “decolonize” America. A perfectly good date to stop Mamdani would have been Sept. 12, 2001, when the nation had more goodwill and unity than it had ever had, or would have, in decades. Instead of cracking down on immigration, however, the George W. Bush administration created a huge police state to investigate its own citizens, scolded Americans about the dangers of “Islamophobia,” launched pointless wars, and handed the White House to Barack Obama—Mamdani’s prototype. Like Obama, Mamdani has pretended to be racially inclusive, while holding onto deep racial grievances toward white, Western civilization, which find expression in his racist, anti-white tax proposals.
The conservative media have largely shied away from attacking Mamdani as a product of mass immigration, instead focusing on his extreme ideology and perceived soft spot for jihadism. The latter charge, at least, is certainly an exaggeration of his political views. Mamdani is a hard-left faculty lounge progressive, not an Islamist. In any case, he need not be a secret suicide bomber to destroy New York City, which had been dying a slow death long before Mamdani even became a citizen. (Read more.)
