Across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage's Reform Party is making some headway in the polls. Mr. Farage and his fellows are gaining confidence and are starting to put out policy proposals - and one set of policies, on illegal immigration, looks broadly familiar.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage unveiled a sweeping four-point plan on immigration on Thursday, promising a crackdown on illegal migration and the appointment of a new ‘Deportations Minister’ under a Reform-led government.

Speaking in Dover, the symbolic heart of Britain’s migration crisis, Farage declared: “We will bring a total end to all asylum claims from people who come here on travel visas or as students,” while reaffirming his pledge to take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and repeal the Human Rights Act.

We have our own "Deportations Minister," although we don't call him that; we call him the Border Czar, that being the famous and dedicated Tom "The Hammer" Homan. I would suggest to Mr. Farage that, should the Reform Party win big enough to propel him into the Prime Minister's chair, he could do a lot worse than to send his Deportations Minister over to the United States to confer and compare notes with Mr. Homan.

Oh, and Mr. Farage should find the Deportations Minister a cool nickname, too.

Reform is pulling ahead of Labour and the Conservatives in at least one poll.

Farage’s announcement marks the clearest signal yet that Reform is preparing for government, following a dramatic surge in polling that places the party ahead of both the governing Labour Party and the main opposition Conservatives. A poll by Find Out Now released this week puts Reform at 28%, with both main parties trailing at 20%. Such numbers would see Labour’s dominance shattered and Reform storming into government.

Remember that the Brits use a different system than we do; we form political coalitions before elections, and we call them political parties. Both of our major parties have divisions; the Republicans have some right-leaning libertarians, some social-issues conservatives, fiscal/budget hawks, and so on. The Democrats have kooks, bigger kooks, and really, really kooky kooks.

But the parliamentary systems have several parties, and after the election, the parties form a government based on who won how many seats. (This is a gross oversimplification.) And unless Farage's Reform party wins an outright majority, they'll have to make some deals with the Conservatives.

Here's another bit that sounds familiar:

Indeed, YouGov tracking suggests nearly half of Britons now believe immigration has been “mostly bad for Britain”—a stark shift since 2019. Reform’s focus on border control, ECHR withdrawal, and deportations of illegal migrants reflects this changing mood.

Could Nigel Farage be Britain's Trump? Well, he may be - but first, he has to win.

I suspect, sadly, that it's probably too late to save the United Kingdom. Nigel Farage wants to Make Britain Great Again (MBGA doesn't have the ring that MAGA does, but bear with me), but the unchecked influx from the Third World has gone on for quite a while now. 

Nothing's impossible, though. I suspect if anyone could set Britain back on the path, it would be Nigel Farage.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
