Where do you want to find your immigrants?
“Import the Third World, become the Third World”. It was a slogan used by the Trump War Room in the 2024 election, and it has since become a catchphrase for postliberals, national conservatives, and the wider MAGA movement. My own country, Britain, is often held up as the reification of that slogan, a real-world example of a nation sliding into Third World status as a result of demographic change.
