Stephen Miller Blames Migration Policy for Zohran Mamdani’s Electoral Sweep in New York
“Democrats imported a new electorate [of immigrants], and that electorate is remaking Congress,” White House aide Stephen Miller tweeted Tuesday night.
“In 2026, half of NYC residents speak a language other than English as their primary language and one-quarter of NYC residents lack English language proficiency,” Miller added.
Miller’s emphasis on migration, imported culture, and migrant voters is different from that of many GOP politicians. So far, the GOP’s politicians prefer to describe New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s coalition as if it were a home-grown group of tax-and-spend socialists or union-infiltrating communists.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) gave a 10-minute speech on Wednesday where he somehow ignored immigration but quoted President Ronald Reagan — he was the President 40 years ago — as he repeatedly denounced “socialists”:
We’re defending the foundations of the greatest country in the history of the world, not against your father’s Democrat Party, but now against the Marxists, and we’re ready for the fight… as Reagan repeated, America is the last best hope of man on the earth.
Mamdani’s wins are an “American slide into Marxism,” Rep. John Rutherford (R-FL), told Politico.
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) described the left-wing wins as “a Bolshevik revolution,” according to Politico, even though Mamdani is an ethnic Indian, African-born, Muslim immigrant.
Even President Donald Trump describes the Democrats’ radicals as communists. “Mayor Mamdani pulled through 3 solid Communists, and has received loud and universal applause from the Fake News Media,” Trump posted at TruthSocial.com on Wednesday morning.
The Democrats’ primary voters are “Dumocrat Communists,” he posted.
But Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) diplomatically bridged the two perspectives, saying:
Republicans need to wake up. What we saw last night in New York can only be called one thing: a socialist uprising sweeping the Democrat Party.
There are many causes — mass migration, anti-American elites, economic stagnation, the rise of political Islam. But the lesson is clear: if Republicans don’t act now, we will lose this country as we know it.
We need to be clear about what we stand for. Closed borders, secure elections, economic prosperity for all Americans, and, most of all, proudly protecting the American way of life against socialism. It’s the only way to save our country.
In the morning after Mamdani’s win, commentators spotlighted Mamdani’s many supporters among economically-stressed New York’s college grads, many of whom have been pushed out of jobs and apartments by Congress’s inflow of migrants.
So far, the GOP business-backed establishment has done little or nothing to win over this class of downwardly mobile, non-migrant, white-collar voters who have been critical to Mamdani’s success.
For example, the GOP has not tried to reduce the unpopular legal immigration numbers. Nor has it tried to reduce the fast-growing population of roughly 2 million foreign, mixed-skill contract workers who hold well-paid banking, healthcare, and technology jobs needed by skilled, middle-class Americans.
In a Tuesday-night interview on Fox News, Miller said Trump is leading “an America First movement that says we need Democrats to come vote for us.”
Miller explained:
We used to have a country where you had a center-left Democrat party… with many who were actually center-right, these were Reagan Democrats or Blue Dog Democrats… Over time the Democrat party has abandoned all of that, and they have instead adopted this radical, revolutionary, and in many cases, violent ideology that wants to tear America down and destroy everything that we know and love… where your kids are taught from the age of two to hate America, to hate their God, to hate their parents, to hate their family — even hate their own [body] — that’s their agenda.
Miller’s focus on the civic impact of migration is applauded by many Trump voters.
“Import socialists… get socialism,” said a tweet from ShaneEBurns. “Cheap labor comes with heavy costs in the long run.”
“The GOP is missing in action of course, because they can’t bring themselves to saying anything critical of Islam,” said X influencer Laura Loomer, who opposes easy-migration policies and the H-1B outsourcing program.
Elon Musk tweeted an image of a town in the United Kingdom whose population has been replaced by Islamic migrants:
“The base of the Democrat Party is now post-American, in their ideals and in their voters,” tweeted Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), adding:
Import the third-world. Become the third-world. Half of NYC residents have a language other than English as their primary language. Zohran got 62 percent of the foreign-born votes and only 31 percent of the American-born votes. I bet that trend continued for the Leftist winners of these primaries.
…
We can still win, but the coalition is changing. The battleline is increasingly about the view of America: Are we a nation daring to be great again or is America a mistake and a sin worthy only of eradication?
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
