Long ago, on a continent far away, rulers who wanted to increase the prosperity of their states imported foreigners who were either having trouble at home or who were lured by financial bounties. But these were productive people: professionals, tradesmen, and craftsmen.

So French Huguenots and Calvinists from Salzburg were welcomed into Prussia, Dutch and German communities were set up by Tsar Peter the Great in Russia, and Saxons were invited to Siebenbuergen (Transylvania).

But what the U.S. is doing is exactly the reverse: we are apparently inviting unproductive, unskilled, and uncivilised people here, whose primary contributions are to raise the crime rate, deplete the welfare system, and transform the inherited European culture into something from the Stone Age.

No doubt, it is the limousine liberals, safe in their gated communities, who have effected this. I only wonder why they do not contemplate the effect that this will have on their offspring if the trend is not reversed (Rhodesia/Zimbabwe presents a good glimpse into the future). Perhaps they have no offspring. But why do they hate the rest of us so much that they would subject us to this infestation?

And the likes of those who write for the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. It is simply not accurate to blame current immigration policies--or lack thereof--on liberals alone. Those who have no notion of culture, who think that the age of the nation-state is waning (though they may be somewhat fuzzy on what will replace it), and who are wedded to the concept of free markets as an organizing principle of society are just as blameworthy as the most ardent proponents of multi-culturism.

Because their offspring will, likewise, be insulated from it all.

SOMEone hates us, that's for sure! I still say that there is a nest in the underbelly of America looking to suck us all in and spit us all out.
