James Lindsay Warns Critical Immigration Theory Will Replace American Citizenship With Global Governance
James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, explains how the left's pattern of applying critical theory to social issues is about to target immigration. Following critical race theory's mainstream emergence after George Floyd, Lindsay predicts critical immigration theory will reframe illegal immigration as a human rights issue while actually dismantling national sovereignty and citizenship. He points to existing policies in Washington DC, New York City, and California as evidence this transformation has already begun, with municipalities allowing non-citizens to vote, providing prepaid debit cards to asylum seekers, and offering free healthcare to illegal immigrants at a cost of $150 billion annually. Lindsay argues this ideology views national borders as social constructs and citizenship as tools of exploitation, ultimately aiming to replace the nation-state system with global citizenship and one-world government.
The Next Ideological Wave: Critical Immigration Theory
James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, identifies what he believes will be the left's next major ideological push: critical immigration theory. Lindsay bases this prediction not on prophetic insight, but on understanding how the left applies critical theory frameworks to transform social and political landscapes.
The left currently favors critical theory as its primary analytical lens. The flexibility of this approach allows virtually any social issue to be examined through its framework—simply insert any word between "critical" and "theory" to create a new worldview.
The Pattern Established by Critical Race Theory
After George Floyd died in May 2020, the left brought critical race theory from academic circles into mainstream American discourse. While it had existed for decades in universities, the Floyd incident provided the catalyst for widespread adoption.
Critical race theory operates on the premise that virtually every aspect of American life, past and present, is determined by systemic racism. It argues that America's true founding occurred in 1619 with the arrival of the first slaves, that slave labor built the country, and that America accumulated wealth by exploiting black people. According to this framework, anyone who rejects this theory is labeled a racist.
Other Applications of Critical Theory
The critical theory framework extends beyond race:
Critical colonial theory views the world as a product of colonial exploitation, claiming Europeans enriched themselves by taking advantage of weaker countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. Rejection of this theory results in being labeled a racist.
Critical feminist theory interprets the world through the lens of women's exploitation. Those who reject it are called sexists.
How Critical Immigration Theory Will Operate
Lindsay predicts that critical theory applied to mass illegal immigration will follow the same formula. It will begin from a human rights perspective, expressing compassion for the poor and oppressed people of the world. However, the true objective will be targeting national citizenship and national sovereignty, using mass illegal immigration as the wedge issue.
The linguistic evolution is already visible in mainstream media. Over recent years, major outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, NPR, ABC, CBS, and NBC have progressively changed their terminology from "illegal aliens" to "illegal immigrants" to "undocumented migrants" to simply "migrants."
Lindsay predicts this evolution won't stop there. "Undocumented Americans" will come next, and eventually, the adjective will disappear altogether. People who enter the United States illegally will be considered just as American as any American citizen.
The Theoretical Foundation
According to this way of thinking, national citizenship is merely a social construct—and to the left, everything is a social construct. This construct prevents migrants from accessing what is rightfully theirs: all the rights and privileges of American citizenship.
The justification rests on two primary arguments:
Americans wouldn't possess their wealth if they hadn't exploited poor people from other countries for the last century, creating a debt that must be repaid.
Turning away people fleeing poverty, drug lords, and corrupt governments is heartless, especially since America bears responsibility for these countries being in such poor condition. These nations would be prospering if America hadn't damaged them.
Traditional laws governing national citizenship and traditional beliefs in national borders fail to recognize these "truths" and are therefore considered regressive and unjust, requiring elimination.
Evidence the Transformation Has Already Begun
Lindsay argues this isn't exaggeration—it's already happening:
Washington DC, the nation's capital, allows non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in municipal elections.
In New York City, the government spends millions of dollars on prepaid debit cards for asylum seekers. According to the New York Post, a family of four migrants with two children under age 17 could receive $15,200 annually.
In California, the state offers free healthcare to all low-income residents, including illegal immigrants.
Across the country, public schools, hotels, and emergency rooms are filled with people who entered the country unlawfully. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, this costs $150 billion per year.
Anyone who points out these facts faces being called "very bad names."
The Ultimate Goal of Critical Immigration Theory
If taken to its logical conclusion, critical immigration theory doesn't aim to merely water down national citizenship—it aims to eliminate it altogether, replacing it with global citizenship. Migration from anywhere to anywhere would become a human right. Borders would be rendered meaningless lines on a map.
The end goal is one world with one government. Lindsay acknowledges this transformation would take time and prove very expensive, but notes that money is no object—the solution would be to simply print more.
A Call to Defend American Sovereignty
Lindsay concludes by asking whether Americans are looking forward to this "Brave New World." If the answer is no, he offers a suggestion: start defending the nation that has created more opportunities for more people than any nation in human history—the United States of America. Defend it while you still have it.
