Trump: In Immigration Debate, Race Matters

Guest Post by Patrick J. Buchanan

President Trump “said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist. … I cannot believe … any president has ever spoken the words that I … heard our president speak yesterday.”

So wailed Sen. Dick Durbin after departing the White House.

And what caused the minority leader to almost faint dead away?

Trump called Haiti a “s—-hole country,” said Durbin, and then asked why we don’t have more immigrants from neat places “like Norway.”

With that, there erupted one of the great media firestorms of the Trump era. On Martin Luther King Day, it was still blazing.

Trump concedes he may have disparaged Haiti, which, at last check, was not listed among “Best Places to Live” in the Western Hemisphere. Yet Trump insists he did not demean the Haitian people.

Still, by contrasting Norway as a desirable source of immigrants, as opposed to Haiti, El Salvador and Africa, Trump tabled a question that is roiling the West, the answer to which will decide its fate.

Trump is saying with words, as he has with policies, that in taking in a million people a year, race, religion and national origin matter, if we are to preserve our national unity and national character.

Moreover, on deciding who comes, and who does not, Americans have the sovereign right to discriminate in favor of some continents, countries and cultures, and against others.

Moreover, in stating his own preferences, Trump is in a tradition as old as the Republic.

The original Colonies did not want Catholics here. Ben Franklin feared Pennsylvania was being overrun by stupid Germans:

“Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.”

Just as anti-immigrant parties have arisen in Europe to stem the flood of refugees from the Mideast and Africa, an American Party (“Know-Nothings”) was formed to halt the surge of Irish immigrants during the Potato Famine of 1845-1849.

Lincoln wanted slaves repatriated to Africa. In the 19th and 20th centuries, we had Chinese and Japanese exclusion acts.

“Californians have properly objected” to Japanese migrants, said V.P. nominee FDR “on the sound basic ground that … the mingling of Asiatic blood with European or American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results.”

After the Great Migration of Italians, Poles, Jews and East Europeans, from 1890 to 1920, the Immigration Act of 1925 established quotas based on the national origins of the American people in 1890, thus favoring Brits, Scots-Irish, Irish and Germans.

Civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph, a major figure in Dr. King’s March on Washington, said of the Harding-Coolidge restrictive quotas:

“We favor reducing immigration to nothing … shutting out the Germans … Italians … Hindus … Chinese and even the Negroes from the West Indies. The country is suffering from immigration indigestion.”

The Senate floor leader of the 1965 Immigration Act addressed what were then regarded as valid concerns about the future racial and ethnic composition of the country. Sen. Edward Kennedy pledged:

“Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually … the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset. … S. 500 will not inundate America with immigrants from … the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia.”

What Kennedy assured America would not happen, did happen.

Today, issues of immigration and race are tearing countries and continents apart. There are anti-immigrant parties in every nation in Europe. Turkey is being bribed to keep Syrian refugees out of Europe.

Boatloads of Africans from Libya are being turned back in the Med. After building a wall to keep them out, Bibi Netanyahu has told “illegal aliens” from Africa: Get out of Israel by March, or go to jail.

Angela Merkel’s Party may have suffered irreparable damage when she let a million Mideast refugees in. The larger concentrations of Arabs, Africans and Turks in Britain, France and Germany are not assimilating. Central European nations are sealing borders.

Europe fears a future in which the continent, with its shrinking numbers of native-born, is swamped by peoples from the Third World.

Yet the future alarmed Europeans are resisting is a future U.S. elites have embraced. Among the reasons, endless mass migration here means the demographic death of the GOP.

In U.S. presidential elections, persons of color whose roots are in Asia, Africa and Latin America vote 4-1 Democratic, and against the candidates favored by American’s vanishing white majority. Not for the first time, liberal ideology comports precisely with liberal interests.

Mass immigration means an America in 2050 with no core majority, made up of minorities of every race, color, religion and culture on earth, a continent-wide replica of the wonderful diversity we see today in the U.N. General Assembly.

Such a country has never existed before. Are we on the Yellow Brick Road to the new Utopia — or on the path to national suicide?

The WaPo this morning treats us to the sad tale of an El Salvadorean transvestite prostitute being held in an ICE detention facility in San Diego awaiting deportation.

You see the ‘gangs’ in San Salvador might do it harm. Of course, those same gangs now operate in the US thanks to our insane immigration policy but the question I have where do Americans threatened by mestizo gangs in the US go for safety?

I wish Trump would have said MLK day is a shit holiday. Nothing is more Repulsive to me then seeing white American so called leaders worshipping a vile , degenerate , communist , moral leper like MLK.The FBI will not release his records Until 2027 .Then they will probably Destory most of these reports.They will never allow white Americans to know the truth.
Most of this Third world shit coming to our nation is/ are just MLK .They will never be Traditional Americans .They do not have the DNA..I have been around enough of them to know.Or leaders are Destroying our nation right before our eyes and there doesn’t seem to be a damn thing we can do about it.

If it is OK to have an MLK day (Black American day), then we also need an Hispanic Day, Native American day, Asian Day, Jewish Day, Arab Day, etc.

Also if Blacks want to be called ‘African Americans’, then I want to be called ‘European American’ instead of White.

Fair is fair. And 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

Pat failed to mention the Naturalization Act of 1790. Anyone who says this nation was founded as a melting pot is either a propagandist or severely ignorant.

Pat neglected to mention the “white people of good character” requirement of the 1790 Act. But his bottom line is correct. Either we halt immigration and start expelling undesirables, or we go down the drain.
They have to go back, all of them.

At this point in history, I don’t see why we need to permit any immigration at all.

This morning I was thinking it would be nice to emigrate to Switzerland, although I have no prospects of employment nor relatives for support there. I just think it would be a great place to live. I should be able to walk across the border and tell the Swiss I want to join their country and they must allow me to do this because it is what I want to do. As a senior citizen, I would feel entitled to all the benefits, or more, that my Swiss peers are entitled. Life will be rosy, certainly of higher quality than the one now possible in the late great state of California.

Of course, the Swiss would throw me out, and justifiably so. The United Nations would agree with the Swiss and support their actions. For some reason, the USA is required to welcome everyone who would like to come here, for whatever reason they have. This is the result of a sinister plot to destroy the strength of this country in my view. In his clumsy way, Trump is trying to stem this tsunami of destruction, so far with disappointing outcomes.

Average I.Q. matters.
Cultural norms matter.
Unfortunately, those as well as “race” are largely tied to country of origin, and that matters.
We have plenty of problem citizens of our own without blindly importing more.

You know all of the big shithole cities in the U.S. whose side walks are covered in urine and faeces are controlled by the Democrat Asshole Party. These people want to make the rest of us obey their creeds and thus our home towns will turn into shitholes. They want to bring in every low I.Q., welfare-sucking inbreed they can, legal or not. They want to then take these inbreeds and spread them out hinter into places that aren’t rat-infested Democrat shitholes. Yet.
How can anyone not call these people traitors and the Enemy of the People?
All I can say is you had better watch it, sucker. In other places of the world they would tell you that your first inhalation of the “air” in that concrete wall shower encrusted with blue salt is gonna be your life changing event.
