Making colonies out of nation-states
Townhall.com ^ | August 15, 2002 | Paul Craig Roberts

Posted on 08/15/2002 8:59:01 AM PDT by Korth

Will Americans ever escape the gag of political correctness? Probably not, but the English are making a last ditch effort. On Aug. 7, the London Times published an article by one of its editors titled, "Britain is Losing Britain"

Third World immigration, hitherto an unmentionable subject, is quadrupling the rate of Britain's population growth and creating a new city of immigrants the size of Cambridge every six months.

Immigration, the Times says, is transforming Britain into "a foreign land." British society is being utterly transformed "against the wishes of the majority of the population, damaging quality of life and social cohesion, exacerbating the housing crisis and congestion," and burdening the health service to the breaking point.

Finding the situation "so extreme and so damaging," the Times editor writes that "silence is no longer an option." Britain is literally disappearing. In many British cities, "you can wander around for hours without seeing a white face, one monoculture having replaced another." Yet, "immigration celebrationists" continue "to brainwash the British public into thinking that it is all for their own good. But almost every reason given to support this immigration is bogus."

"In the past five years," the Times says, "while the white population grew by 1 percent, the Bangladeshi community grew by 30 percent, the black African population by 37 percent and the Pakistani community by 13 percent. ... Whole villages in Bangladesh have been transplanted to northern English towns."

The British political order has broken down. Polls show that without question, "the large majority of British people -- including around half of ethnic minorities -- think there is too much immigration." But public opinion is powerless: "No mainstream political party dare reflect public opinion." British politicians cower before the immigration lobby and fear being called racist, Nazi or xenophobic.

Name-calling aside, the Times says that massive immigration without assimilation leads to social fragmentation. More non-Britons wish to live in Britain than are consistent with the existence of Britain. "The people of Britain have a right to decide who can move here."

The Times assertion that the people of Britain -- and not the immigration lobby -- have the right to decide immigration policy is heresy to multiculturalists. But the very next day (before anyone could burn the heretic), the Daily Mail, Britain's largest circulation newspaper, reprinted the Times article. Thus, debate has begun before hysterical "immigration celebrationists" can shout it down.

Sir Andrew Green, a career British diplomat, together with Oxford University demographer David Coleman, has formed a new organization, Migration Watch UK. These developments are shifting the burden of argument. Now immigration enthusiasts are on the hot seat. They must explain why they aren't racists for wishing to destroy Britain with massive Third World immigration.

Americans are losing their country, too, but Americans are not allowed to say so. Third World immigration to the United States is higher than to Britain. One in five of the U.S. population was born abroad or born of parents who were born abroad. This is a massive change from 1970, when new immigrants counted for only one in 20 U.S. births.

While the British worry about losing cities to Third World immigrants, the United States is losing entire states. Assimilation has broken down. In its place, Americans now endure Third World enclaves or colonies.

As the United States becomes a polyglot, how can it have any foreign policy? How much longer will the United States be able to conduct a pro-Israeli foreign policy and plan invasions of Middle Eastern countries?

The outlines of U.S. domestic policy in the New Immigrationist State (NIS) are already apparent. The tax burdens on native-born whites will rise to meet the needs of the poor immigrants. The burden of the federal personal income tax rests on a narrow base of 35 million taxpayers who are, in effect, slaves of the state. The colonization of these taxpayers will intensify, as millions of needy new immigrants enter the United States each year.

The United States, like Britain, faces extinction as a nation-state. Both countries are becoming colonies for a plethora of Third World cultures.

As one Briton put it, "We resisted Hitler in order to become a colony for Africa, Asia and the Middle East." The United States has done the British one better. We have become the world's colony.

Canadians can't speak of it either, but, why not?

Why do we have to be so politically correct as to not notice the changing demographics, and to furthermore.....like it?

An arguement for immigration is, "We take all other countries best people ... how can that hurt us?"

Well, for starters we get those best's entire family and friends out of the deal too. And our population is high enough, already.

I think that all those best people would be better off in their own countries, educating the masses there on population control. Once they all have a reasonable attitude regarding family size...(don't breed 'em if you can't feed 'em)... a reasonably sized population, they won't have to come here and turn our countries into modern day versions of the countries they just fled.

Makes you wonder why the Tories wouldn't run on a pledge to absolutely ban all immigration into Britain for, say,10 years.....

Thank you for continuing to post this wake-up call. What we witness is the mad result of Conservatives allowing themselves to be cowed by the frenetic rhetoric of the far Left. Enough is surely enough.

See Immigration & The American Future for an analysis of the principle issues involved. You can also link to numerous other relevant articles from the linked essay cited.

Good article.

I've about had it with third world immigration. Why are they even allowed to come here? Their cultures are vastly different than that of the west. Their beliefs are vastly different. Furthermore, social fragmentation is all that will come about through this misguided policy. Why? Because people choose to live around people who look, think, and act like them. Yes, it is a fact of life, and I'm not going to act like it doesn't happen. Of course, stating the obvious may get you branded a racist.

Why don't these people stay within their respective countries and work to improve them. Instead, they run from the problems and make situations worse for all countries. The only people who seem to like it are the ruling elites, as it makes it much easier to form a world government in the future. Yes, it is going to happen, the Bible says so. However, I don't know why our politicians are so misguided, so weak-kneed, so spineless to initiate such nonsense.

The whole society is messed up. I was flipping through the channels the other day, and CNN's Headline News had a story on the most "gay-friendly" corporations. They were perceiving one's "friendliness" as being good for a company. What kind of nonsense is this, that one can be so deluded, so brain-dead to say that sodomy and the social disorder of homosexuality, one that brings disease, death, sexual degeneracy, and the fall of nations, are good things to tolerate, or even celebrate.

Society has gone mad. I don't understand how the IQ's of much of the public, as well as the politicians and media, have reached single digit numbers. That's the way I see it. Society has been turned upside-down.

Back to Immigration. Though one is not sinning for being of a different culture, unlike homosexuality, mixing cultures do no mix. That is, in terms of whole nations, they don't. I get tired of hearing the substanceless cliches about America being about "Freedom", while taxes are sky-high, PC has taken hold, our cities are turning into the third world, forcing out native-born English speaking Americans, while the gun-control crowd continues to gain more ground, while the Patriot Act passes among other things.

At the rate we're going, America may not last another twenty years. Demographics may prohibit it. Yet, world government may beat demographics, for our government becomes more spineless every day in regard to the UN. They don't even want to get out of that illegitimate organization. That should tell you something about the people we have in Washington.

With regard to Britain, it should be painfully obvious that its "leaders" are either doing one of two things: 1) Falling to the disease of politicial correctness and social politics for votes, or 2) Implementing an agenda to bring about the fall of sovereign countries and rush in a World Agenda. Both appear credible.

America & the West WAKE UP

The Tories don't say that for the same reason no Republican in office can say it. Like here, the media (except for a couple newspapers) are controlled by the Left. Both the Beebs are run by the government and the government in power is Labour (Socialist).

There are no conservative broadcast outlets and even if there were, there are no conservative voices to be heard. England is like we were before FOX News and the Washington Times. It's very discouraging.

The beating that Reagan (and now GW) took in the press, is nothing compared to the constant mocking, demeaning, trashing and smearing Margaret Thatcher took.

Because they got euchered into an agreement to keep immigration off the table as an issue. The Fabians have them running scared to try to live down their traditionally un-politically correct image for arrogant joy in being their once stubbornly traditional selves. It is a pathetic situation for a once proud people. (Reminds one of the new South which elects the Clintons and Carters in place of the Harry Byrds and James Byrnes'.)

Hopefully, if America wakes up, so too will the entire West. It was Leftwingers in our State Department and Academia, who pushed the present egalitarian lunacy far more successfully than the Communists, since World War II. But despite the malady affecting those who claim to specialize in world affairs, most normal citizens of every country understand that a nation is not a game of "Musical Chairs." And anyone with eyes to see and a brain to analyze, must sooner or later realize that humanity is not an undifferentiated species. Our differences are real and important; and it is a criminal insult to all of us, when the politicians let crack-pot theorists deny any of us those traits which make us unique.

Conservatives, neocons that is, have a problem, it is called free trade. Since they believe in free trade they are forced to also favor open borders. The free flow of people is part of the free flow of goods and services. If you want an ally in the battle agaisnt free trade and open broders then better look to old style democrats and palo cons (real conservatives) forget the GOP, they are free trade/open border all the way.

Oh heck! This is nothing new......

Doncha remember back in the 1700's, when all these Europeans started flooding onto this continent, buying, stealing, pushing, fooling the then existant peoples out of the land upon which their ancestors had lived for centuries?

So, sit back and watch it happen again folks - payback is here!

If they're anything like the Republican Party elite in America, they're probably afraid they might actually have to pay a decent wage to the guys cleaning their swimming pools and mowing their expansive yards.

Oh, the American Indians were in much smaller numbers than compared to today's American citizens.

"America & the West WAKE UP "

After a smearing by the Neo-Con Men, the last candidate to sound an Ameican first position got .5% of the vote. I voted for Pat, I wish most people did. Pat's Death of the West explains it all. Cheap labor transnational corporations and foreign political war interests control the politicans. Remember in November.

Every day there is another article on the damaging effects of immigration to the west.

Every time I go out into the city I can plainly see the changes from the past 10 or 15 years of uncontrolled immigration. It is not a pretty sight.

Why can we not change things? Who are these 'immigration celebrationists'? Why would we rather lose our country and our culture rather than face the patently false charges of racism they might hurl at us?

Lastly, how long before it is time for us to start looking at these 'immigration celebrationists' with a mil-dot reticle on their face? If the conversations, appeals to common sense, and obvious decline in the environment don't work to change this situation, that is our only other alternative.
