Sowell: 'Diversity' in Action
Creators Syndicate ^ | January 19, 2015 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 01/19/2015 11:48:12 AM PST by jazusamo

Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe, and European governments' counter-attacks are more than just a passing news story.

Europe is currently in the process of paying the price for years of importing millions of people from a culture hostile to the fundamental values of Western culture. And this is by no means the last of the installments of that price, to be paid in blood and lives, for smug elites' Utopian self-indulgences in moral preening and gushing with the magic word "diversity."

Generations yet unborn will still be paying the price, whether in large or small installments, depending on how long it takes for the West to jettison Utopianism and come to grips with reality.

Meanwhile, in the United States, no one seems to be drawing any lessons about the dangers of importing millions of people from fundamentally different cultures across our open border. In America, "diversity" has still not yet lost its magical ability to stop thought in its tracks and banish facts into the outer darkness.

Perhaps here, as in Europe, that verbal magic can only be washed away in the blood of innocent victims, many of them yet unborn.

To cross our open border with Mexico, you don't have to be Mexican or even from Central America. You can be from Iran, Syria or other hotbeds of Middle Eastern terrorism.

It is one of the monumental examples of political irresponsibility that the southern border has not been secured during administrations of either party, despite promises and posturing.

Many fine people have come here from Mexico. But, as with any other group, some are just the opposite. With open borders, however, we don't even know how many people who cross that border are Mexican, much less anything more relevant, like their education, diseases, criminal records or terrorist ties.

The liberal elite continues to apply the “Noble Savage”
label to the Arab, a mistake some early Americans made
also about the Indian.

Secure the BORDER FIRST!
Then reform immigration.
Institute ENGLISH as the OFFICIAL language.

It’s a start.

Amen...The refusal of politicians to follow through and actually secure the border is a national disgrace and the reason we’re where we’re at now.

Like you say, make English the official language in all schools and stop government printing of all materials in any language but English.

I’ll add that any person promoting Shariah law in the U.S. be deported immediately to whatever country they or their ancestors came from, they’ll be much happier there.

Read some of the stories of the early settlers in New England [the Deerfield Massacre in Mass, The Cherry Valley Massacre in N.Y,] etc. Our “Noble Savages” were much more Savage than Noble.

It’s not just about illegal immigration and the porous southern border. Legal immigration is a bigger threat. Since 9-11 the legal immigration of Muslims into the U.S. has increased, which is just insane. And it will continue to increase so long as we allow extended family chain migration.

A sane immigration reform would end chain migration, as well as abolish the absurd Dibersity Lottery Visas, and severely restrict asylum and refugee visas.
