re: #9 Charles Johnson

Wait! You mean that Andrew Sullivan? The immigrant who wants to limit immigration now that he is here?

Writing for New York magazine, Sullivan expressed concern that high levels of immigration to the United States could drive “white anxiety” by causing white Americans to be “increasingly troubled by the pace of change” since they were never formally asked whether they wanted such a demographic shift. Sullivan has advocated for tighter immigration controls on asylum and overall lower levels of immigration. He has criticized Democrats for what he perceived as their unwillingness to implement such controls.

I always assumed that this was the reason he was a fan of Barack Obama. And why he became a Republican afterwards.

Sullivan was barred for many years from applying for United States citizenship because of his HIV-positive status. Following the statutory and administrative repeals of the HIV immigration ban in 2008 and 2009, respectively, he announced his intention to begin the process of becoming a permanent resident and citizen. On The Chris Matthews Show on 16 April 2011, Sullivan confirmed that he had become a permanent resident, showing his green card. On 1 December 2016, Sullivan became a naturalised US citizen.
