Finally, someone is trying to save Great Britain. But what about America?

We are squandering our country’s wealth to accommodate 10-15 million unskilled, unvetted, third-world intruders who were invited to surge America’s open borders by Joe Biden and his duplicitous Democrat underlings.

Many, if not most, of these invaders are ripping us off and refusing to assimilate. They despise our country, and they have no concept of America’s political and cultural history or what it means to be American.

The fraud and crime committed by Somali migrants in Minnesota is but a microcosm of what is happening all across our nation–especially in cities that are run by socialists/communists—cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, etc. and states that have become leftist “tax and spend” cartels, like California, Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, etc.

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, it is much the same. An increasing number of English cities, counties, and boroughs are being run and sometimes trashed by socialists, Muslims, and migrants with little or no appreciation of what it means to be British.

Enter Rupert Lowe, a British farmer from Great Yarmouth who founded the “Restore Britain Party.” Incredibly, Lowe is currently polling third in the upcoming race for Britain’s next Prime Minister.

Lowe insists that millions of migrants who have no intention of assimilating must leave the U.K. He urges Brits to fight political battles in the open, not in the dark, and points to vast differences in the cultures of mostly uneducated and unskilled Muslim migrants who want to turn the U.K. into an Islamic Caliphate.

Considering that current Labor Party PM Keir Starmer is facing a major scandal over appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US in 2024, despite Mandelson’s post-2008 ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including continued contact with the sex offender, a $75,000 transfer to Mandelson-linked accounts in 2003-2004, and possible sharing of sensitive financial info during the 2008 economic crisis, Lowe’s #3 position and his path to power is not as far-fetched as some people think.

Here, Lowe talks in a political ad that has gone viral in the UK.  Take a look. The ad is introduced by Lowe from his farm in England.

I wonder if there is anybody in America who wants to “Restore America” the way Lowe wants to restore the U.K?

Wait a minute. There is. His name is Donald Trump, and he happens to be our president—at least he is for the almost 80 million Americans who voted for him in 2024 after he promised to mass deport some 10-15 million migrants who Joe Biden and his Democrat minions allowed to invade our nation through wide open borders between 2020 and 2024.

Estimates of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States vary widely due to differing methodologies, data sources, and assumptions about undercounts, “gotaways,” and recent border encounters, with no single official consensus figure.

Here are key estimates of the size of America’s illegal migrant population as of early 2025:

• Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR): 18.6 million as of March 2025, up 11% from 16.8 million in June 2023 and 28.2% since December 2020.
• Center for Immigration Studies: Nearly 16 million.
• DHS official estimate (2018-2022 data): 11-11.6 million.
• Migration Policy Institute and Pew Research Center (up to 2022): 11-11.3 million.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: Upwards of 20 million.
• White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller: 15 million encountered/released (2021-2024)
• Vice-President J.D. Vance: approximately 20 million.

No matter which source you believe, these are unsustainable numbers of illegal migrants, many of whom are in our country not to assimilate and become law-abiding Americans, but to gorge themselves at the public trough, commit crimes, and obliterate our culture and our way of life.

Roughly 6 million illegal immigrants—about 40%—hold some form of temporary protection from deportation, such as asylum seekers with pending cases or those under parole programs, according to federal immigration sources.

While Mexico remains the largest source of illegal migration (40%), studies reveal that recent growth was driven by migrants from Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador) and South America (Venezuela, Colombia). At least one million migrants entered the country illegally from Africa (Somalia, Nigeria, Egypt, etc.) and Asia (China, Indonesia, India, etc.)

Between 2021 and 2023, the illegal migrant population grew by roughly 3.5 million people, the largest two-year increase on record, according to the Migration Policy Institute and Pew Research Center. Ironically, those also happen to be the two years when Biden officials, such as DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, repeatedly lied to Congress, insisting that America’s southern border was “closed” and illegal migration was zero.

Forget about videos from journalists that showed thousands upon thousands of migrants pouring over the border day after day, year after year. Don’t believe your lying eyes, Mayorkas advised Congress.

In addition to millions of illegal migrants who have poured into the U.K., another of Rupert Lowe’s major concerns is the Islamification of Great Britain—a religion that he says behaves more like a cult with its adherence to Sharia Law, honor killings, and its oppression of women, gays, and “non-believers.”

Lowe, a former Member of Parliament (MP), was elected as the Reform UK MP for Great Yarmouth in 2024 but left the party in March 2025, becoming an independent.

Lowe points to studies that show some 52 million Muslim migrants currently live in Europe—up from about 100,000 in 2010. He bemoans the destruction of Western European culture at the hands of those who view non-Muslim Europeans—especially women—as unclean infidels primed for conquest.

And what of the United States?

No precise official count exists for Muslims entering the US since 2010, or for the current total population, because the US Census does not track population by religious affiliation. Instead, estimates rely on surveys and projections.

Here are current US Muslim population estimates:

• Pew Research Center (2015-2016): 3.3 million (1% of the US population), projected to reach 8.1 million by 2050 via illegal and legal immigration (about half of the growth from higher birthrates).
• Some studies based on 2000-2011 mosque reports say the Muslim population in the US is currently7 -8 million, and possibly as high as 12 million.

According to the most recent mosque data, states with the largest number of Muslim mosques offering the five daily prayers, Islamic schools, Qur’an classes, etc., are:  

• New York: 257 mosques.
• California: 246.
• Texas: 166.
• Florida: 118.

In addition, there are currently 2,106 Islamic centers in the US—up from 1,209 in 2000.

So, what does all this mean? Well, it means that quite possibly—though I am not holding my breath—people are waking up in the U.K., but here in America, we are still dozing or are alarmingly lethargic when it comes to the dangers posed by Islam, illegal migration, and a large portion of the population that refuses to assimilate and “become American.”

Lowe clearly loves his country and hates to see it disintegrating into a quagmire of bewildering and incomprehensible multiculturalism at the expense of more than a thousand years of established British civilization and culture.

While America this year will only be celebrating 250 years of existence since its 1776 founding, there is nonetheless an American ethos that needs protecting and expanding, not extinguishing or tempering, as our latest migrants (legal and illegal) are eager to do.

People once believed that being an American meant something exceptional. Today, that sentiment is considered by some of us as a quaint and outdated concept.

American identity today is increasingly debated as a set of universal beliefs—such as adherence to the Constitution, the rule of law, and meritocracy—that allow anyone worldwide to become American through citizenship and ideology, rather than through shared heritage.

In the past, Americanism centered on a specific cultural lineage of Anglo-American and Western European settlers, reinforced by restricted immigration to preserve cohesion, history, faith, and customs for “ourselves and our posterity.”

This shift intensified after the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, which ended ethnic quotas and spurred mass immigration, unraveling the pre-existing “cultural water” that defined America as a distinct people and place, not a proposition open to 8 billion people.

Critics from both left and right, including “civic nationalists,” frame it credibly via the Declaration of Independence’s  “all men are created equal.” However, opponents argue that this ignores ethnogenesis and reduces identity to insubstantial beliefs, enabling the pervasive adoption of alien customs without assimilation.

And that, I believe, is where we are today.

Historically, figures like Noah Webster (he of Webster’s Dictionary fame) forged a unique cultural identity after the American Revolution through language (e.g., American English spellings), distinguishing it from Britain and emphasizing a new national “immigrant” ethos tied to the nation’s founding stock.

Today, this ethos faces erosion from multiculturalism, polarization, “woke ideology,” and identity politics—all of which threaten the concept of American exceptionalism and cohesion.

Past “Americanness” required lineage and assimilation into a European-rooted nation; today, it’s often a binary ideology, risking a “contentless void” where no one is truly American anymore.

That view dominates mainstream discourse, but heritage advocates warn of cultural collapse if we do not defend our “American home” and what it traditionally has meant to be American.

As someone who once wore an Army uniform and pledged to defend America and its Constitution, I am appalled at how easily some Americans and most of today’s anti-American migrants are happy to chuck American exceptionalism, our culture, and our history onto the scrapheap.

I only hope America and the rest of Western Civilization wake up before it is too late.
