The kicker here is that flooding a nation with unassimilable foreigners may do no more for diversity over the long term than pythons in the Everglades. Sure the swamp is currently more diverse with tens of thousands of fascinating non-indigenous creatures added to the mix but how diverse will the ecosystem be when they decimate native species?
Lets do a little thought exercise here. Imagine that some force was flooding an indigenous peoples lands with millions of unassimilable foreigners and it was understood that this influx would irretrievably change that lands culture and replace the population. What would anthropologists call this phenomenon? Cultural genocide comes to mind.
Of course in America we call it immigration policy."
Now when King Edward I Longshanks" said about dominating the Scots in the film Braveheart If we cant get them out well breed them out" it was to be expected from an enemy of Scotland. And how should we characterize Americas immigrationists who have long been washing American culture away with endless waves of unassimilable foreigners?
Before answering lets first consider the testimony of Fredo Arias-King ex-aide to former Mexican president-elect Vicente Fox (hat tip: Timothy Birdnow). About how he and his colleagues spoke to 50 US congressmen and senators back in 1999 and 2000 he writes:
Of those 50 legislators 45 were unambiguously pro-immigration even asking us at times to send more. This was true of both Democrats and Republicans.
…Moreover most of them seemed to be aware of the negative or at least doubtful consequences of mass immigration from Latin America while still advocating mass immigration.
… The Democrat legislators seemed more interested in those immigrants and their offspring as a tool to increase the role of the government in society and the economy. Several of them tended to see Latin American immigrants and even Latino constituents as both more dependent on and accepting of active government programs and the political class guaranteeing those programs a point they emphasized more than the voting per se. Moreover they saw Latinos as more loyal and dependable in supporting a patron-client system and in building reliable patronage networks to circumvent the exigencies of political life as devised by the Founding Fathers….
Republican lawmakers we spoke with knew…that they may not now receive their the naturalized Mexicans votes but they believed that these immigrants are more malleable than the existing American: That with enough care convincing and teaching they could be converted be grateful and become dependent on them. Republicans seemed to idealize the patron-client relation with Hispanics as much as their Democratic competitors did.
…Also curiously the Republican enthusiasm for increased immigration also was not so much about voting in the end even with converted Latinos. Instead these legislators seemingly believed that they could weaken the restraining and frustrating straightjacket devised by the Founding Fathers and abetted by American norms. In that idealized new United States political uncertainty demanding constituents difficult elections and accountability in general would go away after tinkering with the People….
…I remember few instances when a legislator spoke well of his or her white constituents. One even called them rednecks and apologized to us on their behalf for their incorrect attitude on immigration. Most of them seemed to advocate changing the ethnic composition of the United States as an end in itself.
This isnt unusual in the West either. In fact it was revealed in 2009 that the UKs immigrationists sought to socially engineer a multicultural" Britain because they wanted to rub the Rights nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date" but didnt want to divulge the scheme lest they lose their core working class vote." With friends like that….
Now what would you call people who visit such a thing upon their own culture solely to gain power? And what fate do they deserve?
G.K. Chestertons comment It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged" comes to mind.
In fairness Mr. Arias-Kings experiences predate the Tea Party revolution and the House GOP did defeat John McCains shamnesty bill in 2007. I also suspect that it was legislators partial to immigration who were inclined to meet with him in the first place. And while I dont doubt that closeted culturally genocidal maniacs still exist (in abundance) there are also those who genuinely believe that diversity should be an end in itself." Unfortunately bad policy is equally destructive whether implemented out of malice or stupidity.
Speaking of which multiculturalism can only ever be what it is an ideology; it can never be a workable reality. Having many different cultures within the same borders is actually called balkanization and its consequences have been repeatedly observed throughout history. If the differences among the disparate peoples become great enough the nation may be partitioned so they can go their separate ways. And there are only two possibilities for avoiding this. One is if an iron fist of tyranny holds the competing cultures together as Marshall Tito did in the former Yugoslavia (and we all know why its former"); the other is if one group prevails over and subsumes the rest as the Japanese have largely done with the Ainus an aboriginal people who once dominated the island of Hokkaido.
This is absolutely the norm. Do the names Saxons Alans Franks Visigoths Vandals Avars Alemanni and Frisians sound at all familiar? They were once distinct groups that occupied early medieval Europe but they are no more having been subsumed into a wider culture. This may be good thing if its a superior culture it may be a bad thing if beauty was lost or it may be a mixed bag. But it is an undeniable thing.
This brings us to the myth of diversity. All it can ever be is a liability to hopefully be overcome; it can never be the strength" its billed as (without even a shred of evidence in support of the notion). And interestingly heres what the Online Etymology Dictionary tells us about the origin of the term diversity": mid-14c. from O.Fr. diversit (12c.) difference oddness wickedness perversity from L. diversitatem contrariety disagreement difference . . . ." Contrariety" and disagreement"…. It certainly worked out that way in Yugoslavia in the Soviet Union in Czechoslovakia in India (when two regions broke away and became Pakistan and Bangladesh). Why even in Canada where Quebecois and other Canadians are racially identical there has often been talk of secession.
So how much more of a problem it is when a group not only has a different language but is different racially economically culturally and ideologically? And what about when that group of diversifiers supposes it has a rightful claim to your territory (a poll showed a majority of Mexicans believing that the Southwest belongs to Mexico and that they have a right to enter the U.S. without U.S. permission")? What about when you try to teach these newcomers American history and they say as a teacher respondent reported to me some years ago We dont care about this were Mexican." When people have come to your land mainly to make money and have loyalty lying elsewhere it doesnt bode well for assimilation.
The kicker here is that flooding a nation with unassimilable foreigners may do no more for diversity over the long term than pythons in the Everglades. Sure the swamp is currently more diverse with tens of thousands of fascinating non-indigenous creatures added to the mix but how diverse will the ecosystem be when they decimate native species? Thus have Florida authorities decided that amnesty for the snakes probably isnt the best idea.
So it is with a cultural ecosystem. Harking back to my earlier point the introduction of new cultural elements isnt always just a matter of simple addition; subtraction and division can be factors as well. When worlds collide when there is an incongruence of cultural elements there may be mixing as with the wolf and coyote. Or there may be an extinction as with how the Dodo on Mauritius was wiped out by rats. Of course a new equilibrium is always established but it may very well be less diverse. And for sure it will be different.
The good news here if one can call it that is embedded within the bad. The history of social engineers is that they possess no clearer a crystal ball than do futurists or science-fiction writers. If the immigrationist traitors simply want to destroy America they will certainly get their way. But they will never have Mexico Norte a republic they can comfortably rule as patrons of complacent clients. Because nature in this case mans takes it course and some people will likely realize that less is more and that only divided we stand.
