We the People Never Voted for Mass Islamic Immigration

Societal transformation without representation.
“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.”
Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.
For two years after the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, keffiyeh-clad Muslim students did their best Hitler Youth impressions on American university campuses, clamoring to eliminate the State of Israel and “globalize the intifada” more broadly. A lone wolf ISIS jihadist mowed down 15 and injured 30 others in the Bourbon Street New Year’s Day massacre of 2025. Somalis in Minnesota bilked federal taxpayers to the tune of billions of dollars’ worth of welfare fraud, culminating in a lethal recent bout of neo-Confederate immigration anarchism and the premature political demise of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.). In Dearborn, Mich., the Muslim mayor told a Christian minister he “was not welcome here” because he objected to renaming a local street after a Hezbollah supporter. Outside the nation’s capital, a local mosque held a vigil for “our leader,” the deceased “shaheed” (martyr), Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. And most recently, the Muslim mayor of the nation’s largest city—a man who for years struggled mightily to condemn Hamas and intifada itself—not only refused to condemn an ISIS-inspired IED attack by two radicalized young Mohammedans, but proceeded to then host Hamas apologist Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion for an iftar diner. Most recently, on Thursday a radicalized Muslim opened fire at Virginia’s Old Dominion University.
There is endless more where that came from. Suffice it to say that America’s grand, decades-long experiment in welcoming in all peoples and all cultures is not going well. And it is going particularly poorly when it comes to those followers of the Religion of Peaceä. It turns out that Islam and Americanism go together about as well as the Hatfields and the McCoys—or Bill Clinton and chastity.
Which brings us back to our earlier questions: Who voted for this? Who did this? And how did this happen? And make no mistake: Islamic immigration and the insidious Islamization of American society, more generally, is happening. We do not merely know that from the myriad anecdotal stories about the adhan (call to prayer) being blasted from minarets at obnoxiously early times in cities like Minneapolis and Brooklyn. We have some numbers to back it up too.
