Illegal Immigration, etc.
Contrary to popular impression, not all businessmen enjoy illegal immigration. From my past posts, you will gather that I do not feel that "illegal" is OK. The Repubs and the Dems are weenies on the subject, and they get no respect from me. Nor do any politicians. They are tools - hope they are our tools. I would write another blog rant, but VDH talks better than I can write, and he doesn't rant. A fine interview with VDH by Olasky:
"With perhaps as many as 20 million illegal aliens from Mexico, and the immigration laws in shreds, we are reaching a state of crisis. In a multiracial society such as our own, are we to tell the Filipino, the Sikh, the Korean, or the Haitian, "Stand in line, come legally, wait your turn—unless you come across the Mexican border and break the law in doing so." So, we need to return to what is known to work: measured and legal immigration, strict enforcement of our existing laws, stiff employer sanctions, an end to bilingual documents and interpreters, and ethnic chauvinism, English immersion—in other words, an end to the disastrous salad bowl and a return to the successful melting pot."
And, as a bonus, VDH throws in this jewel of an ad lib paragraph:
"We have given our entire souls to the god Reason, and left little else to the mystery and inexplicable of the world of faith. By believing that money and education alone can remake man, we of this therapeutic age forgot that his nature is largely fixed and hence predictable—and thus saved through law, family, religion, and community that ameliorate and tame his innate savagery. In our arrogance, we think a millionaire bin Laden or an educated Mohammed Atta is simply misguided, or has legitimate grievances, or is in need of aid and understanding, rather than proud, bullying, full of envy—and, yes, evil—and thus must be defeated rather than understood if we are going to save the innocent from their murderous instincts."
