Name one. David Horowitz, Jeff Jacoby, Daniel Pipes, Stephen Steinlight, Charles Krauthammer
Michelle Malkin was correct on immigration before 9-11.
Of course Birchers adn Old-Rightists consider Bill Buckley to be a necon.
That's an interesting list. Let's see...
- Horowitz has always let Allan Wall, Don Feder, Lowell Ponte and a few others write for FrontPage, even prior to 9/11. Actually, it's the first place I ever saw an Allan Wall article. I've never heard Horowitz' views on immigration in general, since he seems to concentrate on radical Black organizations such as the Nation of Islam, etc. Perhaps you could infer that he's sympathetic to the viewpoints that he allows to be published, but I do remember one of his editorials responding to Richard Poe, his old editor, where he disagreed that Third World Immigration should be curtailed, which is essentially an agreement with Hart-Cellar. I think Horowitz is conflicted about it, but he does let a rather paleo viewpoint to publish. At least a reasoned paleo viewpoint. Frontpage archive: FrontPageMag incomplete list of Immigration articles . Note (pg.2) that some articles predate 9/11/01.
- Again, with Jeff Jacoby, I believe his attitudes predate September 11th. Without a better search, I can't prove it except to say I believe I remember reading articles by him prior to that. I can't imagine him living in Boston, being who he is, and agreeing with Kennedy, so I suspect that he has probably had misgivings about mass immigration for a long time. Perhaps cemented by 9/11.
- Pipes wrote this 6 days prior to the attack: Crisis of Illegal Immigration . Kinda always been hawkish..
- Stephen Steinlight, My, My...where oh where did he disappear to...well, his famous CIS paper was published in October 2001, just a month later. I have a hard time believing his epiphany came in just those few short weeks. Read it here, again: The Jewish Stake in America's Changing Demography: Reconsidering a Misguided Immigration Policy . Talk about inflammatory titles...
- Krauthammer. Ah yes, the Paraguayan Paramour of the Right, late of Canada...land of Frum-ination...haven't heard anything from him other than the usual labeling of anyone who doesn't agree with him as a racist...oh sorry, that's Kristol's shtick..but I hope that he's changed his tune. I don't think he's ever been for mass immigration; but certainly he's always been for relatively open immigration, but with assimilation.
- Michelle is a neo?! Since when!? She even has a column on VDARE! She's an honorary paleo...
Interesting comment on Buckley and the Birch Society. Hey, I was going to JBS meetings in 1965, with my father! Great way to grow up. "A Republic, not a Democracy" -- printed right on the stationary! Yee Haa. But we always had NR around. Buckley was different then.
