The Challenges of Diversity [Steyn]

Texas Governor Rick Perry is being criticized for declining to greet President Obama at Austin-Bergstrom Airport tomorrow when Air Force One touches down and the bazillion-car motorcade takes off for some vital Democrat fundraisers. Perry instead would like a substantive meeting to discuss the foreign invasion currently ongoing at Texas' southern border, but Obama doesn't do substantive meetings, and in any case, as the principal facilitator of the southern invasion, any discussions between him and Perry probably ought to be conducted under the auspices of the UN at the Hague or in Vienna or some such. Maybe Putin or Assad could mediate.

Obama made a conscious decision to, in effect, dissolve the southern border, and, quite reasonably enough, the "unaccompanied minors" of Latin America opted to take him at his word. One of his party's most senior figures, and the woman who if things go well for them in November will be Speaker of the House and second in line of succession to the presidency, explicitly refuses to recognize the international boundary. Down there for a photo-op the other day, Nancy Pelosi declared: "This is a community with a border going through it." It's bogus, so why get hung up on tedious legalistic nonsense like "frontiers"?

Ah. So Mme Calmes was killed by a Moroccan with a Spanish passport who's on welfare.

Best to downplay it all then, in the interests of cultural sensitivity. What happened was a "tragedy", as M Hollande says, but one of those vague, blurry tragedies, nothing too specific or detailed...

The developed world has chosen civilizational suicide as a moral virtue. As Fabienne Calmes' fellow educator across the Atlantic would say, our growing diversity is a strength that we will continue to celebrate - even unto death.
