Van Jones, the ex-Obama official who, while chuckling, once said he was basically “a communist,” has stated that he was “shaking” listening to GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy during Wednesday’s Republican primary debate. What disturbed the former “green czar” so? Did Ramaswamy, a wealthy entrepreneur, throw shade on Karl Marx?

Actually, the candidate talked about Democratic policy — a policy that has two different names.

When critics warn about it, Democrats call it a fringe idea dubbed “Great Replacement theory.”

When Democrats kvell about it, they call it “immigration policy” — when they call it anything at all.

At issue is our immigration regime (as well as illegal migration), which has ensured that 85 to 90 percent of our post-1967 immigrants would come from the Third World, and which has caused America's European-descent population to shrink from being close to 90 percent of the country 55 years ago to barely 60 percent today.

Some believe this is avoidable and, since the immigration pattern is continuing, that there must be some human agency behind it. Others, apparently, believe this immigration is just inevitable, akin to a force of nature or act of God, like the tides, the rising and setting sun, or a lightning strike. Jones is seemingly in the latter camp.
