Immigration Is A Proxy Issue For A Western Government Trend
American Thinker ^ | 19 Jul, 2026 | Allan J. Feifer

Mass immigration doesn’t stand alone. Instead, Western governments, including ours, have much grander plans for the end of nations.

One of the greater mysteries of our century may be why governments across much of Europe, North America, and even Australia adopted remarkably similar immigration policies seemingly at the same time. It is difficult to believe this happened by chance. And unlike Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand, which explains how complex order can arise without central direction, mass migration appears less like an organic historical development than a remarkably coordinated political calculus.

There are many explanations; some point to economics, others to humanitarianism. Others argue that businesses sought inexpensive labor or that politicians sought new voters. Whatever the explanation, governments across Western civilization not only permitted but actively facilitated mass immigration, even in the face of demonstrably low rates of assimilation by some groups. Government leaders have bent over backward, not only facilitating their entry but also subsidizing their living costs, looked the other way as large numbers of young male migrants, including many with criminal histories, entered and remained, and then protected them from expulsion.

This essay examines the forces that continue to promote this mass immigration despite electoral and mounting fiscal costs, and shows how these new immigrants have consistently failed to assimilate. Why do progressive governments cling to these policies like glue? Why do major media organizations so often minimize migrant crimes while emphasizing stories that reinforce preferred narratives that are harmful to a country’s citizens? Why has a common vocabulary—words such as “welcoming,” “neighbors,” and “safety”—appeared almost simultaneously across governments, advocacy groups, and media outlets?

The central question is not whether large-scale migration has been encouraged; evidence supports that conclusion. The real mystery is how so many institutions, in so many countries, arrived at the same destination nearly

Aristotle identified this tendency for leaders to bring in foreigners to replace the domestic population, because the foreigner won’t rebel.

That does seem like an obvious flaw.

One aspect in the paper was to disperse the manufacturing capabilities of nations so that no single nation could wage war on its own.

The troubling issue is that all of the listed techniques to collapse nations have come to pass.

The document came into my hands before the Internet. It was dispersed by copy machine at conferences and private groups. My copy disappeared decades ago.

They did, however, succeed in making a mess out of our society.

I don't think the long range plan is to rule of a lot of people. The plan is to significantly reduce the population; and, that through the hardships of anarchy.

“That’s unsustainable, as is their nefarious ambition...”

Does this “thought” apply to Mohammedism?

I have that book by JFK, in his 1960 party platform JFK ran on replacement immigration and chain immigration.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.

In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.

After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

It is a leftist (collectivist) lust for power over all of humanity.

The globo-fascists have been at this actively for over a century. The Spanish Civil War was the test run. To quote George Orwell, whose first book, Homage to Catalonia, was an account of his experience on the ground in that war, offers this summary statement published in 1933:

In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.

[Snip]

Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the capitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that this maneuver simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.

Marx called for the whole globe socialist revolution.
Mixing people and abolishing nations is the modern way to achieve this.
We are just too rich and that’s not fair to other people.

Yes, IMHO. The ‘conquest’ side of Islam will not prevail. That doesn’t mean they can’t hurt a lot of people in the interim.

Yes, reduce the population, leaving them in charge of ‘Eden’. In the meantime Steve Jobs who had tons of money and success succumbed to a cancer all of his money couldn’t save him from. I’m not judging him as a person, at all. I know little about him. But like all of us he was mortal. This is lesson all of the ‘apex of the world’ wannabes would do well to consider.

The only mystery is exactly who are the people behind it. We know some, but they didn’t do it alone.

It’s real simple: a certain type of person is attracted to the various offices of influence in culture education and government , who have an inborn impulse to control and progressivism. These are a hive mind that barely need to even organize to accomplish their goals though they organize obsessively and religiously.

I speculate the end game is one world government with no borders. However, many of the facilitators don’t care at all about the end game and are really in it for gaining power and wealth.

Due to Globalism after WWII.

All the universities share a similar ideology. And they produce the same politicians who end up leading the nations in the West.

Bad news. We won't be able to stop it.

Good news. There is a possibility that the post-WWII world order will collapse soon.
