One significant aspect of immigration that is often overlooked is the way in which it tends to increase tensions between the two countries involved.

Speaking last month at a Washington think tank, Rushan Abbas relayed tales of suffering she had heard about China’s repression of ethnic Uighur Muslims — including the detention of members of her husband’s family in a widespread system of mass internment camps.

Within six days, Abbas’ ailing sister and elderly aunt disappeared from their homes in northwest China. No family members or neighbors have heard from them in more than a month.

Abbas is an American citizen and Virginia resident; her sister has two daughters and both live in the United States. They all assume the women are being detained in the camps, which Western analysts estimate hold up to 1 million people.

Abbas said they had fallen victim to the persecution against which she had been campaigning — and because of her.

“I’m exercising my rights under the U.S. Constitution as an American citizen,” Abbas, a business consultant, said from her 12th-floor office in Rosslyn, Virginia, overlooking the Key Bridge and Potomac River. “They shouldn’t punish my family members for this.”

Why should the USA care how China treats its own citizens? Why shouldn’t China punish the family members of a disloyal citizen? And why should China care what happen to be the rights under the U.S. Constitution?

The neo-liberal world order is a huge, unwieldy mass of contradictions and false narratives. That’s why it is collapsing even faster than the Soviet Union did.

The West is going to start prosecuting its betrayers, as is already happening in Italy:

The mayor of a small town in southern Italy that became a model for immigrant integration was placed under house arrest Tuesday for allegedly aiding illegal immigration, a move that brought a well-spring of support for the mayor.

Italian financial police arrested the mayor of Riace, Domenico Lucano, as part of an investigation into the allocation of a half-million euros in public funds to house refugees and asylum-seekers.

Authorities said the investigation also is examining allegations that fraudulent associations were set up so immigrants could take over trash disposal contracts and the arranging of marriages of convenience to help female immigrants remain in Italy.

Lucano’s companion, Tesfahun Lemlem, also was placed under investigation and risks losing her Italian residency.

Find a few of these cucks guilty of treason and the rest will suddenly develop a newfound concern for their nation.

The God-Emperor protects the children more than any president before him.

The 2016 Global Slavery Index estimated that including U.S. citizens and immigrants 57,700 people are victims of human trafficking, and the Justice Department estimates that roughly 15,000 children are trafficked into the country every year.

Despite the scale of the problem, and the sinister reality that it’s mainly children affected, the federal government has done little to crack down on the problem. After President Donald Trump took office and began enacting pro-law enforcement policies to “make America safe again,” arrests of human traffickers began to take off like a rocket.

The first thing immigrants always want is more immigrants:

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2015, Esperanza Franco headed south to the border, where she worked defending immigrants who faced deportation.

Now she’s the one who might get kicked out of the country.

Franco says her former employer’s mishandling of a work-visa application — she came here from Spain five years ago  — has put her in danger of losing her legal status. She fears that in less than a month, she could end up being jailed in the same Arizona detention center where she has gone to visit clients.

“I’m going through so much stress,” Franco said. “I’m waking up in the middle of night, with back pain.”

The paradox of her situation is not lost on Franco, 28, who put her legal knowledge and Spanish-language skills to work in Tucson at the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, a nonprofit advocacy group.

It doesn’t matter where they come from, they always want to import more at the expense of the natives.

The world must heed the words of the Dalai Lama:

The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, said Wednesday that “Europe belongs to the Europeans” and that refugees should return to their native countries to rebuild them.

Speaking at a conference in Sweden’s third-largest city of Malmo, home to a large immigrant population, the Dalai Lama — who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 — said Europe was “morally responsible” for helping “a refugee really facing danger against their life”.

“Receive them, help them, educate them… but ultimately they should develop their own country,” said the 83-year-old Tibetan who fled the capital Lhasa in fear of his life after China poured troops into the region to crush an uprising.

“I think Europe belongs to the Europeans,” he said, adding they should make clear to refugees that “they ultimately should rebuild their own country”.

What a pity that neither the Fake Pope nor the leaderships of any of the big Protestant denominations have the courage, the integrity, or the necessary relationship with the truth to state the obvious.

Big hitter, the Lama.

Rather like the rodent-eating aliens of V, the 20th-century invaders are finally beginning to strip off their concealment and show their true identities:

David Brown has never felt a connection to his own name. “To me, Brown means nothing,” said the 49-year-old finance professional, who lives in Manhattan. “There is no heritage, there is no Jewishness. There is nothing.”

So, in June, Brown began legal proceedings to change his last name to Broner — the original surname of his late father, Nechemia — as a way to pay homage to the family’s ancestry. Broner, a Holocaust survivor from Poland, changed his name to Charles Brown after arriving in New York in 1950, seeking acceptance from Americans.

David’s children Jonathan, 12, Sarah, 10, and Isabella, 8, will also have their last names changed to Broner. (His wife, Maria Gonzalez-Manes, 52, uses her maiden name.)

“I always told my children about my father’s story, and how important it is to keep tradition . . . they understand it and they like it,” said Brown. “Being the son of a Holocaust survivor, [this] is an easy way to show the faith and the soul of the Jews have not changed.”

Waves of 19th- and 20th-century immigration brought millions of new Americans through Ellis Island — many of whom, in an effort to assimilate into new communities and professions, changed their names to ones that sounded more American. Now, in an about-face, more and more of those immigrants’ descendants are reverting back to their original surnames to show ancestral pride.

There is nothing wrong with ancestral pride. There is nothing wrong with men and women showing the faith and the soul of their people has not changed. What is wrong is the pretense that they ever were, or ever could be, Americans. What is wrong is the pretense that the interests of their people were ever the same as those of the American people. The observable truth that is no longer even remotely deniable is that these Fake Americans and their children are no more Americans now, or in the future, than they are still Poles, or Russians, or whatever their previous skinsuit happened to be.

The so-called assimilation of the 19th and 20th centuries was, for the most part, a complete charade. For without the total elimination of the foreign identity, faith, and soul, there is no assimilation. If you possess the identity, faith, traditions, and soul of one people, then you obviously do not, and cannot, possess the identity, faith, traditions, and soul of another, no matter where you may reside.

If you’re a civic nationalist, then don’t expect us to take seriously your future whining about foreign residents being given the right to vote. Have we not been told that it is the act of traveling to the United States with the intention of finding a better life there that makes one truly an American?

Non-U.S. citizens living in the country legally may one day be allowed to vote in Boston elections. The City Council is holding a hearing Tuesday on the idea at the request of Council President Andrea Campbell. The council is considering ways to make city elections more inclusive, including allowing immigrants with legal status in the country the right to vote in municipal races.

That could include legal permanent residents, visa holders and those on Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

Campbell’s order for a hearing says Boston has more than 190,000 foreign-born residents, which represents 28 percent of the city population.

Now, what is more indicative of a commitment to the “nation”, mouthing a few words you don’t even understand or at least taking the trouble to get on an airplane and relocate? Just wait until the Left takes the Boston initiative national… which is an ironic turn of phrase if I’ve ever heard one. Because they most certainly will. It’s a winning strategy for Democrats that is soundly rooted in civic nationalist rhetoric that even many conservatives accept.

Like communism, feminism, libertarianism and socialism, civic nationalism is an ideology that carries within itself the seeds of its own inevitable demise.

Pretend all you like, play as many pedantic word games redefining X as Y as you wish, but eventually, sooner or later, reality is going to impose itself on even the most delusional perspective

Yet the biggest aspect of crisis, even though it is under-reported,  is in countries close to where 22.5 million have fled imploding societies, the biggest such tide of displacement since WW 2.  The numbers are staggering. Turkey has 3.5 million Syrians refugees, tiny Lebanon a million; 1.5 million Afghans are camped in Pakistan; more than a million Sudanese are cooling their heels in Uganda.  In South America one million Venezuelans fleeing Bolivarian socialism have lodged in Colombia. In Central America multitudes of “families and unaccompanied children” daily flee their own crime-ridden societies for the US.

Current homicide rates are among the highest ever recorded in Central America. Several cities, including San Salvador, Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, are among the 10 most dangerous in the world. The most visible evidence of violence is the high rate of brutal homicides, but other human rights abuses are on the rise, including the recruitment of children into gangs, extortion and sexual violence.

From 2011 to 2016, the number of people from the Northern Triangle who have sought refuge in surrounding countries has increased by 2,249 percent. The majority fleeing are women and children. In 2016, 388,000 people fled the region – more continued to flee in 2017. The rapid growth of those forced from their homes is quickly outstripping available resources, leaving many vulnerable children, women and men without physical and legal protection.

The migration crisis is an indictment of the global world order.  It also underscores its biggest weakness: a grandly named system ironically incapable of either preventing the collapse of its constituents or managing the displacement of tens of millions….

The fact that borders have become an issue at all after decades of assurance the circle could be squared is perhaps the most significant fact of all.   For years the bipartisan consensus was to politely pretend it could all be worked out.  As the New York Times wrote, “for more than a decade … seasonal spikes in unauthorized border crossings had bedeviled American presidents in both political parties, prompting them to cast about for increasingly aggressive ways to discourage migrants from making the trek. Yet for George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the idea of crying children torn from their parents’ arms was simply too inhumane — and too politically perilous — to embrace as policy.”

So great was elite prestige that fiction was sustained until suddenly it couldn’t any longer.  The realization, when it came, was brutal. The rapidity with which the status quo of “open borders” has been overtaken by the “populist crisis” suggests that, like the financial crisis of 2008, a bubble has burst. It went broke gradually then all of a sudden.  The globalization and multiculturalism that were supposed to have delivered prosperity and security have not paid off.  This failure has started a run on political capital of elites which has yet to stop.

This is what the cucks and cons simply don’t grasp. I don’t say “the Alt-Right is inevitable” because I am trying to persuade them of anything. I am simply calling my shot because I know that most of them are going to be espousing Alt-Right positions and more as time goes on.

The nationalists are already beginning to come to power in Europe, and this is only the start of what will be a long process of much-needed continent-wide deunification.

Here is a random thought. What better way to lay the groundwork for helping the average American grasp the true extent of the globalist evil than first getting the media all stirred up about the poor chilruns and child abuse by the government?

Especially since there does appear to be a direct connection between the migrant invasion, child trafficking, and the Obama administration:

The United States government placed an unknown number of Central American migrant children into the custody of human traffickers after neglecting to run the most basic checks on these so-called “caregivers,” according to a Senate report released on Thursday.

In the fall of 2013, tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors traveled to the U.S. southern border, in flight from poverty and gang violence in Central America. At least six of those children were eventually resettled on an egg farm in Marion, Ohio, where their sponsors forced them to work 12 hours a day under threats of death. Local law enforcement uncovered the operation last year, prompting the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to open an inquiry into the federal government’s handling of migrants.

And that’s before we even get into the Clinton Foundation, Haiti, and all of the sordid details that entails. Meanwhile, a second Suicide Weekend starts early.

Jeanine Pepler, the publicist who represented novelists Jay McInerney and Candace Bushnell, hanged herself Sunday night in her home in Sag Harbor, LI, taking her life the same way Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain did earlier this month. Sources say she was 50. 

Would people seek fame so avidly if they knew what a price they had to pay for it?

And repatriates foreign-funded imams:

Austria said today it could expel up to 60 Turkish-funded imams and their families and would shut down seven mosques as part of a crackdown on ‘political Islam’ that was described as ‘just the beginning’, triggering fury in Ankara.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the government is shutting a hardline Turkish nationalist mosque in Vienna and dissolving a group called the Arab Religious Community that runs six mosques.

His coalition government, an alliance of conservatives and the far right, came to power soon after Europe’s migration crisis on promises to prevent another influx and clamp down on benefits for new immigrants and refugees.

In a previous job as minister in charge of integration, Chancellor Kurz oversaw the passing of a tough ‘law on Islam’ in 2015, which banned foreign funding of religious groups and created a duty for Muslim societies to have ‘a positive fundamental view towards (Austria’s) state and society’.

‘Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalisation have no place in our country,’ Kurz told a news conference outlining the government’s decisions, which were based on that law.

‘This is just the beginning,’ far-right Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache added.

It’s a good start. But they are going to need to do the same thing to organizations and individuals funded by George Soros too.
