Lori Chavez-DeRemer: Trump’s Worst Choice so Far
Incoming once and future president Trump has made several cabinet picks that I and other nationalists around me have been excited for. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence was an excellent choice, and one I endorsed in a previous article. I also greatly admire the gender realism of Peter Hegseth, who doesn’t want women in combat, and the pledges to "Make American Healthy Again" by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And who could go wrong with putting Thomas Homan back on the border?
Great picks all around, but that does not mean that all of Trump’s picks have been great. Refugee enthusiast Kristi Noem is an incredibly disappointing pick for Secretary of Homeland Security [Noem decides to let refugees into South Dakota next year; Here’s what that will look like, by Michael Geheren, KELOLAND.com, December 20, 2019] and one that I hope the public campaign being pushed by Ann Coulter can derail.
Noem is not the worst pick on immigration thus far, though.
On or about Friday Trump announced that he was nominating a woman named Lori Chavez-DeRemer to serve as his Secretary of Labor. Predictably Politico called the appointment unexpected and proclaimed without presenting evidence that Trump was expected to pick hardline pro-business candidates.
This is despite the fact Trump spent the entire campaign courting the American working class—a class he went on to win by incredibly impressive margins.
But I digress, I had never heard of Oregon 5th District Representative DeRemer before and so quickly went to work diving into her policy positions.
I was thrilled, at first. DeRemer was one of three Republicans to vote for the PRO Act in pursuit of strengthening American unions. She has good relations with the AFL-CIO for a Republican and many local unions and is generally viewed as one of the more pro-labor Republicans out there. “This is fantastic!” are words that I exclaimed aloud. I excitedly told my husband about this nomination and went back to do more crucial research.
It was thrilling that Trump had appointed what appeared to be a member of the new large number of patriotic Hispanic Americans who wanted real change for this country. The majority of Hispanics who want to see mass deportations of illegal aliens and the near majority who voted for Donald Trump in this election—American nationalists in my view.
It took mere minutes for me to be deeply disappointed with Mrs. DeRemer and to realize she is not in favor of American workers and was certainly not an American nationalist. Instead DeRemer is a Hispanic ethnic interest advocate and almost fervently in favor of the Great Replacement that is currently seeing particularly White but also Black Americans displaced in the country where they’ve been present since 1619.
DeRemer was one of four Republicans, all Hispanic Americans, to cosponsor the American Dream and Promise Act of 2023, a bill that seeks (I say seeks because it has been introduced every year for three consecutive years) to grant amnesty to over 4.4 million DACA recipients.
The DREAMers would be given conditional permanent residence in the United States and be put on a rapid path to becoming citizens despite the fact they have no right to live in this country.
If support of the American Dream and Promise Act wasn’t enough, DeRemer is also an active supporter of the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2023. Yes, the Spanish name really is the first and primary name of the legislation in Congress. DeRemer cosponsored this legislation alongside 7 other Republicans, about half of whom were Hispanic American congressmen. This act would have allowed illegal aliens to buy amnesty by paying into some kind of worker development fund, though I am sure these dues would have been forgiven by the immigration service in the same way background checks are often just not carried out.
It is here I feel compelled to mention that of the 15 House Republicans who are members of the Hispanic conferences, a strong majority (10 of the 15) do not get behind these ridiculous amnesty bills. I have to thank these representatives for not only upholding the interests of their districts but also for defending the American nation from further mass immigration related demographic change.
That caveat aside, I can see no upsides to Trump appointing a pro-amnesty Republican to the post of Secretary of Labor no matter how decent her record on union related issues may be. DeRemer cannot be pro-worker—and certainly not pro-American-worker—if she spends her days trying to figure out how to dump as many low skill low wage Latin American workers on the American economy as possible. Her loyalty is clearly to her racial community and not to the American nation she is so lucky to reside in.
There is further evidence for this. DeRemer released statements from her Congressional office where she proudly states she has worked to obstruct the inclusion of E-Verify provisions into legislation. She even goes so far as to invoke her status as the granddaughter of immigrants to justify her desire to grant amnesty to illegals and protect them from legal workforce checks.
There is no concern for the protection of Americans whose ancestors pioneered, built, and developed the country she is now so lucky to live in.
Trump should rethink this nomination, and I hope that the Senate Republicans develop enough backbone to block her appointment.
If DeRemer is really so proud to being a mother, and a Christian, she should step aside for a real America First candidate.

Even her heading up of the unions is terrible. She will put her co-ethnics first and not only we be replaced in our own territory, but within yet another institution. I feared this would be the trajectory. Republicans, trying to build their own old-school political machine, would build their own patronage network and do so by replacing whites within institutions.
This does not surprise me, and not only will amnesty have a strong and powerful advocate in the inner circles of power, but you can believe that within the Republican party non-white patronage networks in the trades and industry be set up that further dispossess us.
Enough is enough. Voting Republican and praying for walls and deportations is not going to work. We have to take matters into our own hands, and become a highly partisan in-group presence ethnic political power bloc. The system is set up for organized in-group preferring ethnic blocks. Those are the rules and we better start playing by them.
