Import the third world ...
American Thinker ^ | 20 Apr, 2025 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 04/20/2025 4:23:04 AM PDT by MtnClimber

There's a common saying that comes up any time mayhem is committed by illegal immigrants:

Import the third world, get the third world.

The examples that trigger this saying tend to be crimes that happen everywhere -- murder, robbery, rape, assault -- though the frequencies differ from country to country.

What is common to the third world though, is something more subtle, known as 'informality': the phenomeon of living without rule of law (or property rights).

In any country where you see big shack cities ringing a country's capital on its outskirts, you've got sizable evidence of what Peruvian economists Hernando de Soto identified as 'informality,' meaning, people lack title deed to their homes, cannot sell them, cannot take loans on them, cannot improve them, and don't have access to any true rule of law, though it's common that gangs set up informal rules, and enforce them through force. The strange thing is, the residents of these places are effectively treated like illegal aliens in their own countries, which if that's the case, makes it pretty easy to pull up stakes and live as an illegal alien in another country. After all, what's the difference?

De Soto described this in two brilliant books he wrote a couple decades ago: The Other Path and the Mystery of Capital. David Freddoso wrote an excellent piece about his thinking for Investor's Business Daily in 2015 here.

In the San Fernando Valley area ringing Los Angeles, which is loaded with illegal immigrants, there was an infuriating case of a sports coach who murdered a child in his care.

Illegal alien Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino, a Salvadoran, was arrested for murdering Oscar Omar Hernandez, a 13-year-old from Honduras, very likely also an illegal immigrant here with his family.

The democRATs all seem to know what the mass illegal invasion plan is. Republicans don’t seem to have a clue. They just think it is another wacky leftist idea.

Same with trade. When you import a goods from the 3rd world you import their standard of living and export yours back to them.

Thanks Free Traitors™

"the phenomeon of living without rule of law (or property rights)."

I believe graffiti is one of the first signs of a society that could be in trouble.. I hate graffiti. It shows a total lack of respect for private property.

There’s no logic to inviting a failed, flawed style of living and expecting that it will thrive here. It’s like transplanting invasive vegetation here that and expecting that it will not destroy and displace our style of living.

We are heading to dirt lawns with cars parked on them. Motorcycles kept in the living room and crime everywhere.

It seems that destroying Western Civilization is the plan.

When graffiti showed up on the back of a speed limit sign near me, I took a paint spraycan to it and merged other signs on top of it.

;)

Yes, and all addressed through the concept of “Broken Glass” policing policy.

What if there was a HUGE tariff on imported illegal aliens?

"It would be the biggest tariff in the history of the world."

Isn’t “diversity” wonderful???

Intermingling predators with sheep probably isn’t the best of ideas.

LIBs/Lefties are sociopathically insane.

Re “… There’s no logic to inviting a failed, flawed style of living and expecting that it will thrive here...”

Sure there is; it’s completely logical when your end goal is to deliberately destabilize the existing white society, cause anarchy and chaos and scream “Rayyyyyyyycissss!!” When said white population fights back, when you want to use the force of law to subjugate the existing population.

Look across the pond to England; that’s exactly what is happening there.

And it is deliberate. And those legacy English are being erased …

...The report also says they lived in Sun Valley. I've been to Sun Valley; I got lost there when I headed to North Hollywood for an event a few years ago. It was memorable. It was a bleak place where every sign and billboard was in Spanish, and everything advertised was all about being an illegal alien.

I grew up next to that town. It's truly horrible what has happened to California. This is what happens when vote fraud is not stopped.

You see that in native born white trash neighborhoods all the time, along with broken down living room furniture on the porch, day long day drinking on the same porch with 0acks of near feral bastards and pit v bulls.

The gop-e wants the cheap labor to appease the chamber of commerce. Dims want a permanent underclass and votes.
