Meghan McCain warned Republicans to take New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani seriously, calling him a \u201cgenerational talent\u201d and likening him to former President Barack Obama. It\u2019s similar to a warning made by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who predicted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will \u201crun for president, and Zohran Mamdani will replace Chuck Schumer in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani is surely a smooth talker and competent organizer \u2014 both things that helped him win the mayoral race and similarly helped Obama ascend to the presidency. But a \u201cgenerational talent\u201d?<\/p>\n

The New York City mayoral office is notoriously a political graveyard. Mayors thought to be rising stars of the Democrat Party never ascend past that office (just ask Michael Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio), and while possible,<\/em> it would certainly be an anomaly if Mamdani proved to be the exception.<\/p>\n

That said, conservatives still face a serious problem \u2014 it\u2019s just not the threat Cruz and McCain are warning against.<\/p>\n

The real <\/em>danger is an immigration system that has imported millions of new residents and aspiring leaders (like Mamdani) who seek to fundamentally destroy the republic and replace it with the same kind of failed ideologies found in the very places these immigrants fled. <\/p>\n

Mamdani is example No. 1: a Ugandan-born socialist whose politics are fundamentally hostile to and incompatible with the republic. An October survey from Patriot Polling showed just how necessary New York\u2019s foreign-born population was to Mamdani\u2019s winning coalition. The poll found he led among foreign-born New York residents with 62 percent support compared with just 31 percent of American-born support. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa had 40 percent and 25 percent support, respectively, among native-born Americans.<\/p>\n

Mamdani himself has acknowledged that immigrants were decisive in his rise. He made a point of relating a conversation with one\u00a0voter who said, \u201cI just got my citizenship. And I\u2019m voting for you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mamdani then specifically thanked immigrants for powering his campaign during his victory\u00a0speech: \u201cWe will fight for you, because we are you. Or, as we say on Steinway,\u00a0ana minkum wa alaikum.<\/em>\u00a0Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city, who made this movement their own. I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.\u201d He went on to assert that \u201cNew York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The speech was an acknowledgment of an electorate fundamentally transformed by immigration. America willingly imported foreigners who are fundamentally incompatible with the republic, and they make it clear through their voting patterns.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mamdani came from Uganda, a country with no tradition of self-governance or republicanism or ordered liberty. And rather than assimilate into our<\/em> political inheritance, Mamdani is bringing the same failed Third World political mindset and ideologies to America and is hellbent on dismantling the republic. But his victory is what happens when our immigration policies fail.<\/p>\n

Mamdani is not the only example of this. <\/p>\n

In New York\u2019s 13th Congressional District, Mamdani-backed socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier beat incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the primary. The district has a population that is 37 percent foreign-born. Chevalier, the daughter of Dominican immigrants who spent time living in the Dominican Republic and the failed socialist state of Venezuela, ran on abolishing ICE, providing \u201chousing for all,\u201d and expanding the welfare state.Adoption of these policy positions demonstrates a failure to assimilate and a fundamental rejection of the Constitution and the truths on which it rests.<\/p>\n

Avila Chevalier\u2019s victory cannot be solely attributed to immigrants \u2014 she undoubtedly won the support of many native-born leftists. But her campaign is a prime example of the rotten fruit of a system that permits foreigners to come to the U.S., fail to assimilate, and reproduce children who similarly fail to assimilate, cultivate a burning hatred for America\u2019s founding principles, and then run for office and win \u2014 in part by catering to other foreigners.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in Colorado\u2019s 1st Congressional District, Ethiopian-born Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros beat incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette. Kiros similarly built her campaign around abolishing ICE, trashing American foreign policy, and expanding welfare. Notably, her Denver district has growing African and immigrant communities.One member of her campaign also made clear his politics were shaped by loyalties and grievances of his own<\/em> country, but not America.<\/p>\n

Roddy Salimi, an Iranian who worked on Kiros\u2019 campaign, said he grew disillusioned with Democrats when they failed to expand welfare and continued to support Israel, according to Colorado Newsline. Salimi specifically invoked Iran while explaining his position, saying he felt betrayed when Israel struck his \u201chome country\u201d using weapons Americans \u2014 including Democrats \u2014 sent. In other words, Third World blood feuds have been imported here, and candidates that cater to those blood feuds (like anti-Israel socialists) are able to leverage them for political gain.<\/p>\n

Kiros herself has made clear that more immigrants, specifically people from the \u201cGlobal South,\u201d need to seek American office so they can challenge the United States\u2019 role in \u201cexploitative\u201d global politics. In other words, she\u2019s not saying immigrants should enter public service to show gratitude for the country that welcomed them. Instead, she wants immigrants to take power to transform the country and punish it for alleged crimes that affected these foreigners in their home countries.<\/p>\n

So sure, Republicans should take Mamdani seriously. He is, after all, the mayor of New York City, and even mayors can do substantial damage on a scale that large. But the chances of Mamdani becoming a congressman or senator are slim based on history. What Republicans (especially Mr. \u201cLegal Immigration Good\u201d Cruz) should take seriously is an immigration system that is literally importing our downfall.<\/p>\n
