Allow dissident Europeans to enjoy fast-track immigration to the United States. Welcoming folks from Europe who wish to join the American experience will send a powerful reminder to European elites that there were reasons their own people left their shores in the first place. Special warm immigration considerations for Europeans should replace the military alliances that used to knit us together.

I suspect that Europe is full of creative, risk-taking people stifled by the initiative-smothering welfare state and labor regulation. (I see some of them in my classes.) Before the Iraq war I heard someone say that the best revenge against Old Europe would be to double their immigration quotas. It's petty, but in my darker moments I'd like to vacuum out their best, brightest and most ambitious as much to smite them as to help us. In my brighter moments I'd like to do the same thing to push them to reform, except that I don't think it will be enough.

Immigration, Then and Now.

Even if you don't take them, Australia, New Zealand or even Canada already have wide doors to welcome them. 27% of Australian populations are foreign born, although I admit over half of immigrants are actually British or New Zealand-born - not really migrants comparatively.

Actually, an even greater danger than the mass illegal immigration over the border by mexicans--would be if the US took in European dissidents.

Think about it. Who are we talking about?

The most likely dissidents are Moslems. And as time goes on the likelyhood increases that they will be kicked out of europe IN MASS. The French have already deported moslem immans who were French citizens. The French simply revoked the citizenship papers of immans.

It would be a mortal blow to the USA if these people came to the USA. Why? Because the USA would be filled with their hated enemies. Christians and Jews.

From the moment the Moslesm stepped off the plane or the boat they would be looking to undermine and destroy this country.

One thing people don't understand about European society and economy and the interest pressures within it, is the enourmous social power and position of the idle rich. Who are not capitalist in our sense, and have no real connection to productive modern business. They have inherited million dollar apartments in Paris, vacation houses in the country, trust funds supplimenting government sinecures or no-work positions in corporations through family connections. They are modernist, liberal, pseudo-intellectual; they play at art or cultural pursuits, producing nothing substantive. Neither merit nor productivity have any connection to their position in life. Their lifestyle is the cultural ideal of large portions of the population.
