How many white American kids with Cho's obvious personality disorders and pathetic verbal skills in the English language would ever have been permitted to enter - and remain enrolled at -- a school like Virginia Tech as an English major?
/rant off/
That’s true. Why do they hate us? Because they believe the lies liberals tell about us. Because they believe the multiculty/diversity agenda they are taught in “race, gender and class studies”: that America is not the greatest nation in the world, and that all other cultures are morally equivalent to American culture.
"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."
I hope that Pat was not writing about that part of the 36 million that became citizens. I would disagree with him on those.
Here in New Jersey there's been a long-running controversy in one heavily Korean town that has attempted to institute a requirement for English-language signs on all of the businesses in the town, most of which are owned by recent immigrants who don't seem all that interested in assimilating.
If millions of criminal aliens are given citizenship by the Democrat congress, will they become assimilated patriotic Americans overnight?
He didn't come here as an America-hater, he was a kid when he arrived. He got the brain-washing from American educators.
And yes, our mental health system performed *terribly*.
Nope but nope also if Republicans did it. Do you know if citizenship requires knowledge of English and American history?
The real bigots are the liberal nazis who want to disarm all these people. Remember the Koreans who defended themselves and their property during the “Rodney King” L.A. riots? The liberal RATS who pander for Al Sharpton’s presidential endorsement want all those Koreans to be disarmed, robbed and murdered.
The Pat defenders on this thread crack me up. I didn’t think his vile racism had any supporters left. Pat needs to stick to illegal immigrants.
It should.
The fact remains that had Sueng-Hui not been allowed into America, he would not have been able to slaughter 32 Americans. Nothing that Buchanan said is wrong. America’s liberal immigration policy is bad for Americans. 12 Americans are murdered by illegal aliens every day. A further 13 if you count death by dangerous driving.
Also, to everyone who says racism was not a factor in the Virginia Tech shootings are wrong. It has been said that part of Sueng-Hui’s anger at his schoolmates was due to them mocking him for his accent. It is another example of people from different cultures being forced to live together. There is always friction in these situations, only this time that friction had terrible consequences.
Instead, Pat Buchanan just provides the America-haters more ammunition. If we told immigrants that we expected them to appreciate being here and to obey the laws and honor this country, I’d bet money that well over 90% would.
You seem to be confusing illegal aliens with legal immigrants. Nobody here is in favor of illegal aliens.
legal or illegal, they are all part of the same liberal immigration policy.
But I believe you are uncritically pairing these bad experiences with Buchanan, without any evidence that he is racist.
Did Buchanan call anyone a 'wetback' the way someone called your nephew?
Did Buchanan ever say he hated Hispanics?
Don't you think that the illegals (and liberals and other PC types) are going to throw any and all smears at Buchanan (or anyone else who disagrees with them), to further their agenda, even if the smears are not true?
Is any person who wants a more strict immigration policy a 'racist'?
If we let so many foreign persons immigrate each year that a large percentage never become loyal Americans, is that smart?
Can someone raise these issues and not immediately be labeled a racist?
This shooter obviously needed psychiatric help.
If he were not a minority, Buchanan is asserting, then people would have not distanced themselves from him. They would not have 'given him a bye'.
They would have challenged the weird behavior of the shooter in the months and years before the event.
But PC being PC, no student, teacher, or administrator, no one, dared to question or challenge the weird and antisocial behavior that Cho exhibited, probably because they feared that they would be accused of racism (in the same knee-jerk way that Pat has been accused of racism on this very thread) for calling him out.
Behavior that would have gotten a white male expelled from VT, or very carefully scrutinized, at least, in my humble opinion, was foolishly and cravenly overlooked when Cho did it, because he was a minority.
This is the point that Buchanan is making.
We need a comprehensive immigration reform no doubt about it. But Buchanan’s screeds about non white immigrants both legal and illegal do not help but rather are done to gin up radicals on both sides. He is either a racist or a provocateur. Being of Irish decent I haven’t endured racist sentiments my self only Irish jokes. We as a nation are a great melting pot and pretty well succeeded in assimilation until a lot of liberal policies Balkanized us into groups. The likes of a Buchanan who doesn’t seem concerned about Europeans that are here on expired visas for years and doesn’t worry about immigrants coming from Europe but wants to shut down even legal immigration from south America is not a good spokesman for the right.
A lot of people are appalled by the possibility of foreign conflicts spilling over onto our streets as a result of decades of mass immigration. The Cho case doesn't fit that pattern, since he can be seen as a lone nut, but Pat does have a point about what the future could bring.
