Since the massacre of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech, the mainstream media have obsessed over the fact the crazed gunman was able to buy a Glock in the state of Virginia.
Little attention has been paid to the Richmond legislators who voted to make "Hokie Nation," a Middle American campus of 26,000 kids, a gun-free zone where only the madman had a semi-automatic.
Almost no attention has been paid to the fact that Cho Seung-Hui was not an American at all, but an immigrant, an alien. Had this deranged young man who secretly hated us never come here, 32 people would be heading home from Blacksburg for summer vacation.
What was Cho doing here? How did he get in?
(Column continues below)
Cho was among the 864,000 Koreans here as a result of the Immigration Act of 1965, which threw the nation's doors open to the greatest invasion in history, an invasion opposed by a majority of our people. Thirty-six million, almost all from countries whose peoples have never fully assimilated in any Western country, now live in our midst.
Cho was one of them.
In stories about him, we learn he had no friends, rarely spoke and was a loner, isolated from classmates and roommates. Cho was the alien in Hokie Nation. And to vent his rage at those with whom he could not communicate, he decided to kill in cold blood dozens of us.
What happened in Blacksburg cannot be divorced from what's been happening to America since the immigration act brought tens of millions of strangers to these shores, even as the old bonds of national community began to disintegrate and dissolve in the social revolutions of the 1960s.
To intellectuals, what makes America a nation is ideas – ideas in the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Gettysburg Address and Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
But documents no matter how eloquent and words no matter how lovely do not a nation make. Before 1970, we were a people, a community, a country. Students would have said aloud of Cho: "Who is this guy? What's the matter with him?"
Teachers would have taken action to get him help – or get him out.
Since the 1960s, we have become alienated from one another even as millions of strangers arrive every year. And as Americans no longer share the old ties of history, heritage, faith, language, tradition, culture, music, myth or morality, how can immigrants share those ties?
Many immigrants do not assimilate. Many do not wish to. They seek community in their separate subdivisions of our multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic, multilingual mammoth mall of a nation. And in numbers higher than our native born, some are going berserk here.
The 1993 bombers of the World Trade Center and the killers of 9-11 were all immigrants or illegals. Colin Ferguson, the Jamaican who massacred six and wounded 19 in an anti-white shooting spree on the Long Island Railroad, was an illegal. John Lee Malvo, the Beltway Sniper, was flotsam from the Caribbean.
Angel Resendez, the border-jumping rapist who killed at least nine women, was an illegal alien. Julio Gonzalez, who burned down the Happy Land social club in New York, killing 87, arrived in the Mariel boatlift.
Ali Hassan Abu Kama, who wounded seven, killing one, in a rampage on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, was a Palestinian. As was Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert Kennedy.
The rifleman who murdered two CIA employees at the McLean, Va., headquarters was a Pakistani. When Chai Vang, a Hmong, was told by a party of Wisconsin hunters to vacate their deer stand, he shot six to death. Peter Odighizuwa, the gunman who killed the dean, a teacher and a student at the Appalachian School of Law, was a Nigerian.
Hesham Hadayet, who shot up the El Al counter at LAX, killing two and wounding four, was an Egyptian immigrant. Gamil al-Batouti, the copilot who yelled, "I put my faith in Allah's hands," as he crashed his plane into the Atlantic after departing JFK Airport, killing 217, was an Egyptian.
Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, the UNC graduate who ran his SUV over nine people on Chapel Hill campus and said he was "thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah," was an Iranian.
Juan Corona, who murdered 25 people in California to be ranked with the likes of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, was a Mexican.
Where does one find such facts? On VDARE.com, a website that covers the dark side of diversity covered up by a politically correct media, which seem to believe it is socially unhealthy for us Americans to see any correlation at all between mass migrations and mass murder.
"In our diversity is our strength!" So we are endlessly lectured.
But are we really a better, safer, freer, happier, more united and caring country than we were before, against our will, we became what Theodore Roosevelt called "a polyglot boarding house for the world"?

pat buchanan is a moron.........
Huh? There are no psycho nut jobs, just immigrants?
So, I guess Pat won’t be marching in the parades today?
As usual it takes someone like Pat to notice that the emperor has no clothes. Of course this alien should never have been amongst us, just don’t expect to hear it in the MSM.
And yet, by all accounts, his parents assimilated as best as they could, and his sister has assimilated quite well.
You can prove absolutely anything if you're careful enough in the selection of your sample data.
Buchanan's dark side can be frightening to behold sometimes.
Ah gee, I forgot about that garbage. Maybe it won’t be so crowded at Sam’s today.
Striving for excellence will lead to diversity as a result. Striving for diversity can, and in too many cases is, being acheived just by selecting from the world's trash containers.
Cho was eight when he came here. EIGHT YEARS OLD. That’s a little early to be psychoanalyzing an immigrant to determine if he’s a nutburger, isn’t it?

Do the big bad conservatives scare you my precious?
864,000 Koreans.. 1 psycho and probably about 300,000 small businesses.
“pat buchanan is a moron?”
well then any moron should be able to figuure out that W has failed miserably to enforce the immigration laws, deport ALL illegals and secure the borders.
too bad the moron, W hasn’t figured it out yet!
have you?
Pat’s like a broken clock, he’s right twice a day. This isn’t one of those times.
He may have been a nutburger way back then, but at the time he probably was just seen as a quiet little Asian boy who didn’t speak the language very well.
Only if "conservative" now means "immigrant hater".
Buchanan finds some bad eggs in the immigrant population, and uses it as a justification for an immigration ban. The same logic could be used in favor of abortion.
My grandparents were immigrants.
they came here and took the culture to heart so much that their own children (my parents) could barely speak any of their parents native tongue. Back in the late 19th and early 20th century, folks who came here, embraced the nation and was proud to be called ‘American’ when they finally got their citizenship approved.
Not anymore.
I heartily agree with most of what Pat says and I voted for him in the 2000 primaries......God I wish he would have won.
Amen to that.
Buchanan's dark side can be frightening to behold sometimes.
Yes, it can. Why am I not surprised that he jumped on this?
What's really odd is that his own figures put the lie to his position. "864,000 Koreans (came to the US) as a result of the Immigration Act of 1965", but he can't give us any examples of criminal behavior other than Cho. So one out of 864,000 was bad. Those are pretty good odds - maybe we should let in more Koreans.
"But documents no matter how eloquent and words no matter how lovely do not a nation make. Before 1970, we were a people, a community, a country."
Typical of Pat to be so dismissive of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Worse yet, he displays what on the surface is a frightening historical ignorance. His own people, the Irish, were derided as foreign invaders more loyal to the Pope than America. Surely Buchanan has heard of the "Know Nothings".
Of course he knows of them. He is neither stupid nor ignorant. And if he isn't ignorant, he is being disingenuous.
