1. There is a signifigant number of elitists in the Stupid Parties of the West which believe that mass Turd World immigration can work with a policy of assimiliation (as if that was ever going to happen, or as if it were true anyway).
2. There is a need for a pro-business political party to court the cheap labor industry.
Thus, the Stupid Parties will do nothing except possibly slow the bleeding a bit. Third parties are going to pick up the slack, especially in Europe...I can only pray that they are led by decent men such as Buchanan, Le Pen, Fortuyn, and Haider (or for that matter women like Pia Kjaersgaard) instead of the true fascists. Time will tell.
They ultimately lost. They did not have the technological or military wherewithal to prevent it.
In every single Western homeland, we have more than enough power to stop it. The question is, are we so cowardly and stupid that we will refuse to do so?
Could it be for the same reason that the GOP won't touch the same thing?
Orders from headquarters, don'chaknow.
Nonsense. People are not goods and services. Free flow of goods and services renders free flow of people unnecessary.
Pat's mistake is that he went the 3rd party route, and 3rd parties simply cannot have an impact in this country. The design of our political system only allows for 2 major parties. Hence the only way to get anywhere is to work from within the parties. Unfortunately, immigration restrictionists haven't been doing this, Tom Tancredo being a notable exception.
You have to factor in that Pat was effectively kicked out of the GOP when he could not do a platform speech (like Keyes was this time, only Keyes doesn't realize it yet). Pat was blamed that his 1992 speech, essentially about the same topic as this thread, was blamed for the defeat of the GOP.
I think Pat knew a third party cannot possible raise the funds needed to win but he hoped to be in the debates to bring this and other ignored issues to the table.
As for working with the party, remember Bobdole would not even read the platform prepared by the grass roots. If a voter cannot even move the pile, I say let a third party be the spoiler, the message might eventually register.
The influential magazine The Spectator is comparatively conservative, as are the broadsheets The Telegraph and The Times.
The #1-selling newspaper in Britain, the tabloid The Sun is like its lead columnist Richard Littlejohn, generally conservative in outlook though not necessarily Tory in politics.
The Torys are after all not all that conservative by our lights.
Native born blacks, too, who's families have been here as long or longer than many whites. The eighties and nineties saw the black middle class finally growing by leaps & bounds - just in time to help foot the bill for the aforementioned invasion.
They ought to be screaming the loudest.
First, the tidal wave of immigrants, mostly illegal, is simply more than we can bear. With no place to go, few resources, and no legal presence, these interlopers place a tremendous burden on our social infrastructure, especially since their shadowy existence puts them at odds with accepted, conventional social norms.
Secondly, they have an artificial protection from assimilation in the form of Political Correctness. They are not only ALLOWED their ethnic individuality, it is ENCOURAGED. Therein lies the source of the fragmentation. The adopted society is forced to bend around their values rather than vice versa. Consequently, the subculture never accommodates the majority culture and intact ethnic enclaves crop up. Where the foreign culture collides with the normative culture, tension arises, conflict results, and the majority culture is pilloried as "intolerant" or "xenophobic."
The solution is CONTROLLED immigration, already unapologeticaly in practice everywhere else in the world. No other nation on earth feels compelled to open its borders to any flotsam than can wash up. But in the United States, any suggestion that we may not want the refuse from every third-world tubercular ward, insane asylum, or prison is met with cries of "racist" and "isolationist."
The current system does little for the illegals, and nothing at all for America. Why do we have immigration laws if we're not going to enforce them?
PC has taken hold
You answered your own question with those two little letters. If there are any other reasons, I would like to know what they are.
Yes, others?
Living proof of what lack of immigration control gets you.
