For decades, Republicans have banged the “Illegal immigration is bad, but legal immigration is good” drum. As a result, we’ve brought in millions of immigrants that neither care for nor believe in republicanism, self-governance, personal liberty and limited government. And nowhere is that truth more apparent than in Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race.
Mamdani, a Ugandan-born communist, doesn’t believe in personal liberty or limited government. He said as much during his victory speech: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.”
Similarly, anyone who voted for Mamdani also therefore does not believe in personal liberty or small government.
And what is difficult to ignore is that Mamdani pulled in a lot of support from foreigners.
An October survey from Patriot Polling found Mamdani had 62 percent support from foreign-born New Yorkers, and just 31 percent amongst American-born. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa had 40 percent and 25 percent support, respectively, among native-born Americans.
Mamdani recently posted a video to X in which he spoke with a voter who said, “I just got my citizenship. And I’m voting for you.”
