Trump: In Immigration Debate, Race Matters

President Trump “said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist. … I cannot believe … any president has ever spoken the words that I … heard our president speak yesterday.”
So wailed Sen. Dick Durbin after departing the White House.
And what caused the minority leader to almost faint dead away?
Trump called Haiti a “s—-hole country,” said Durbin, and then asked why we don’t have more immigrants from neat places “like Norway.”
With that, there erupted one of the great media firestorms of the Trump era. On Martin Luther King Day, it was still blazing.
Trump concedes he may have disparaged Haiti, which, at last check, was not listed among “Best Places to Live” in the Western Hemisphere. Yet Trump insists he did not demean the Haitian people.
Still, by contrasting Norway as a desirable source of immigrants, as opposed to Haiti, El Salvador and Africa, Trump tabled a question that is roiling the West, the answer to which will decide its fate.
Trump is saying with words, as he has with policies, that in taking in a million people a year, race, religion and national origin matter, if we are to preserve our national unity and national character.
Moreover, on deciding who comes, and who does not, Americans have the sovereign right to discriminate in favor of some continents, countries and cultures, and against others.
Moreover, in stating his own preferences, Trump is in a tradition as old as the Republic.
The original Colonies did not want Catholics here. Ben Franklin feared Pennsylvania was being overrun by stupid Germans:
“Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.”
Just as anti-immigrant parties have arisen in Europe to stem the flood of refugees from the Mideast and Africa, an American Party (“Know-Nothings”) was formed to halt the surge of Irish immigrants during the Potato Famine of 1845-1849.
Lincoln wanted slaves repatriated to Africa. In the 19th and 20th centuries, we had Chinese and Japanese exclusion acts.
Have something to say about this column?
“Californians have properly objected” to Japanese migrants, said V.P. nominee FDR “on the sound basic ground that … the mingling of Asiatic blood with European or American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results.”
After the Great Migration of Italians, Poles, Jews and East Europeans, from 1890 to 1920, the Immigration Act of 1925 established quotas based on the national origins of the American people in 1890, thus favoring Brits, Scots-Irish, Irish and Germans.
Civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph, a major figure in Dr. King’s March on Washington, said of the Harding-Coolidge restrictive quotas:
“We favor reducing immigration to nothing … shutting out the Germans … Italians … Hindus … Chinese and even the Negroes from the West Indies. The country is suffering from immigration indigestion.”
The Senate floor leader of the 1965 Immigration Act addressed what were then regarded as valid concerns about the future racial and ethnic composition of the country. Sen. Edward Kennedy pledged:
“Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually … the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset. … S. 500 will not inundate America with immigrants from … the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia.”
What Kennedy assured America would not happen, did happen.
Today, issues of immigration and race are tearing countries and continents apart. There are anti-immigrant parties in every nation in Europe. Turkey is being bribed to keep Syrian refugees out of Europe.
Boatloads of Africans from Libya are being turned back in the Med. After building a wall to keep them out, Bibi Netanyahu has told “illegal aliens” from Africa: Get out of Israel by March, or go to jail.
Angela Merkel’s Party may have suffered irreparable damage when she let a million Mideast refugees in. The larger concentrations of Arabs, Africans and Turks in Britain, France and Germany are not assimilating. Central European nations are sealing borders.
Europe fears a future in which the continent, with its shrinking numbers of native-born, is swamped by peoples from the Third World.
Yet the future alarmed Europeans are resisting is a future U.S. elites have embraced. Among the reasons, endless mass migration here means the demographic death of the GOP.
In U.S. presidential elections, persons of color whose roots are in Asia, Africa and Latin America vote 4-1 Democratic, and against the candidates favored by American’s vanishing white majority. Not for the first time, liberal ideology comports precisely with liberal interests.
Mass immigration means an America in 2050 with no core majority, made up of minorities of every race, color, religion and culture on earth, a continent-wide replica of the wonderful diversity we see today in the U.N. General Assembly.
Such a country has never existed before. Are we on the Yellow Brick Road to the new Utopia — or on the path to national suicide?
Suicide.It's called a shithole,and China and Russia will take our much diluted country over with ease.

ReplyDeleteAnother young girl falls victim to Merkel's evil in the town of Kandell, Germany. Yes, we can lay this one, as all the others, right at her feet but she won't care. She has an ideology to fall back on that allows her to shut her mind to the murders and sexual assaults perpetrated by the mass importation of millions of Muslim and African males into Germany. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/17/world/europe/germany-teen-murder-migrant.html?&moduleDetail=section-news-0&action=click&contentCollection=World®ion=Footer&module=MoreInSection&version=WhatsNext&contentID=WhatsNext&pgtype=article
A 15 yr. old German girl, named Mia V. in the article, is stabbed to death by her "15 year old" boyfriend, named only "Abdul D", undoubtedly being sensitive to his underage status. The article notes he claimed to be 14 when he arrived but according to the girls father he was "definitely not 15". I'm sure he could have been 6' 4", with a full beard and grey hairs and they wouldn't have doubted his claim to be 14, that's how mindlessly idiotic PC blinders can be. This crime has renewed calls to verify claims of refugee age status. One has to wonder why this has not been done since the beginning since you end up placing adults males in schools with underage females if you do not. Oh yeah, how could I forget? That kind of hysteria is reserved for white men, when it's brown and black skinned Muslim males then the rules are suspended. According to the article, Abdul will now undergo tests to determine his true age, though a bit late for his victim.
At the end of the article, there is of a statistical rationalization and dose of liberal guilt: First off it mentions that there was a spike in crime initially with the first wave of male migrants, but then it dropped back down to regular levels. Assuming that's even true, of which I'm doubtful since more likely there has been some monkey business with crime reporting or statistics by behind the scene diversity operatives, it's probably because women are no longer putting themselves in dangerous situation with refugees, they can no longer walk their own streets alone because they know refugees will rape them at every opportunity and the beta males of Germany will stand by and do nothing. They are actually setting up safe zones for women to keep from being raped by refugees. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/12/31/safe-zone-for-women-set-up-at-berlin-new-years-eve-event.html
Then the article points out that a German man murdered his wife and kids and if this crime had been a German boy it wouldn't be getting so much attention. What a load of shyte. I mean really, the disingenuous arguments of liberal mindsets is a wonder to behold. If these Libyan and Afghani male refugees had never been allowed to stay in Germany, this young girl and the other girls and women, raped and or murdered by these scumbags would all be alive or unharmed. There are always going to be some psychotic individuals who can commit deranged acts, can't be helped, humans are not perfect, but we do know that most of the time it's males doing that crap, so why bring in millions of young males who are unknown quantities and give them opportunity to lie their way into having access to young girls?
