“I will suspend immigration”

Donald Trump continues to talk the talk in response to Orlando:

We need to respond to this attack on America as one united people – with force, purpose and determination.

But the current politically correct response cripples our ability to talk and think and act clearly.

If we don’t get tough, and we don’t get smart – and fast – we’re not going to have a country anymore — there will be nothing left.

The killer, whose name I will not use, or ever say, was born to Afghan parents who immigrated to the United States. His father published support for the Afghan Taliban, a regime which murders those who don’t share its radical views. The father even said he was running for President of that country.

The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here.

That is a fact, and it’s a fact we need to talk about.

We have a dysfunctional immigration system which does not permit us to know who we let into our country, and it does not permit us to protect our citizens.

We have an incompetent administration, and if I am not elected President, that will not change over the next four years — but it must change, and it must change now.

With fifty people dead, and dozens more wounded, we cannot afford to talk around the issue anymore — we have to address it head on.

I called for a ban after San Bernardino, and was met with great scorn and anger but now, many are saying I was right to do so — and although the pause is temporary, we must find out what is going on. The ban will be lifted when we as a nation are in a position to properly and perfectly screen those people coming into our country.

The immigration laws of the United States give the President the power to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons that the President deems detrimental to the interests or security of the United States, as he deems appropriate.

I will use this power to protect the American people. When I am elected, I will suspend immigration from areas of the world when there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we understand how to end these threats.

After a full, impartial and long overdue security assessment, we will develop a responsible immigration policy that serves the interests and values of America.

We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country, many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer.

Many of the principles of Radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions.

Radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American.

I’d prefer it if he dropped the adjective “Radical” and if he said “end” rather than “suspend” immigration, but that’s a hell of a lot better than any candidate in any party has ever been on immigration.

Yet another Magic Dirt fail

So much for the idea that the magic dirt of the USA will turn second-generation Muslims into True Blue Americans:

Police are now saying that Omar Mateen has ties to radical Mulim leader, Marcus Dwayne Robertson. Mateen took online classes and interacted with Robertson through Robertson’s Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary, based in Orlando.

The FBI reportedly contacted Robertson and several of his associates for questioning Sunday afternoon. Robertson’s attorney failed to confirm whether his client was associated with the ongoing investigation.

The gunman also attended the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce; he was seen there two days before Sunday’s attack, in the company of Imam Shafiq Rahman. The Islamic Center is reportedly associated with the American-born suicide bomber, Monar abu Salha, who was discovered in Syria several years ago. According to Fox News, it was Mateen’s association with abu Salha that led the FBI to question him in 2013.

Donald Trump isn’t backing down in the slightest; he has even called for President Obama to resign:

Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn’t he should immediately resign in disgrace!

And finally, eyewitness accounts make what was apparent from many of the victim’s pictures:

Survivors told ABC News that the shooter asked club goers their race before opening fire and said that America “needs to stop bombing ISIS.” 

The fires rise

Immigration arson comes to Austria:

Arsonists were most likely behind a huge blaze which burnt down a newly-built but still empty refugee centre in northern Austria, police said on Wednesday. Police are now offering a €5,000 reward for information that leads to the seizure of those responsible.

The huge fire broke out in the early hours of Wednesday in the village of Altenfelden and left only charred remains of the building.

No one was harmed in the blaze, which was battled by up to 200 firemen.

“We found two sources along the building’s outer walls… where unknown suspects are thought to have started the fire,” police said in a statement, adding that investigations were ongoing.

The alleged attack happened two weeks before 48 asylum-seekers were due to move in.

Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka condemned “all forms of violence against refugee centres” while Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said in a tweet that he was “deeply affected” by the blaze.

The sad thing instead of taking this as the warning it is meant to be, the government is doubling down and the charity Caritas has announced that it will rebuild the refugee center.

Which means that we’re going to see arsonists burning down refugee centers with refugees in them. The “migrant crisis” is now transforming itself into a war of governments and globalists against the nations.

Europe cannot become an Arab country

Thus spake His Holiness the Dalai Lama:

The Dalai Lama says Europe risks losing its identity by taking in too many migrants and warned: ‘Germany cannot become an Arab country.’

Tibet’s spiritual leader says refugees should only stay temporarily and return home to rebuild their countries when the conflicts have ended.

The Dalai Lama, who has himself lived in exile for over half a century, said: ‘When we look into the face of every single refugee, especially the children and women, we can feel their suffering.

‘A human being who is a bit more fortunate has the duty to help them. On the other hand, there are too many now.’

In an interview with German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, he said: ‘Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany.

‘There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.’

He said ‘from a moral point of view too, I think the refugees should only be admitted temporarily’.

‘The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.’

It’s very sad when the Dalai Lama is a more staunch defender of Christendom than the Pope.

The Post-Americans

Do tell us again how more American than American these immigrants are:

And yet, they somehow always seem to find the time to “honor” obscure third-world trivialities of whom few have ever heard and about whom even less care. Strange, how that works.

The Mexican invasion is defensive

Donald Trump understands how Mexico remains Mexico, but most of the people who think he’s stupid don’t.

Anti-Americanism is the oldest Mexican political tradition for the understandable reason that the “Colossus of the North,” which has reduced so many Central American countries to banana republics, is naturally perceived as a threat to continued rule by Mexico’s elites. It’s not just aggression that worries Mexico’s top dogs, but the greater all-around competence of American culture.

While President Carranza a century ago pondered Germany’s offer in the Zimmermann telegram of “generous financial support…to reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona,” more recent regimes have preferred a passive-aggressive response to America’s dominance. Mexican politicians lack the stubborn audacity of Fidel Castro.

Mexico, with its superb real estate (much of the country is at high enough altitude to enjoy a mild climate), is vulnerable to Americans simply inundating the place in pursuit of retirement and vacation homes. It always made more practical sense for American baby boomers desirous of cheap servants to retire to Mexico than to import millions of Mexicans into America.

But that largely hasn’t happened because life in Mexico isn’t attractive enough to many Americans.

In a book a half decade ago, Castañeda offered a long list of reforms that would make Mexico more appealing to American retirees, from lifting the ban on foreigners buying beachfront property to installing more traffic signals to make crossing the street less harrowing.

Most important, he asked that Mexicans stop referring to Americans with the ethnic slur “gringos.” Americans don’t care about Mexican anti-Americanism, but, Castañeda pointed out, the epithet discourages Mexicans from learning from Americans how to better run their country.

Castañeda’s recommendations weren’t very popular at home, however.

Instead, Mexicans have largely forestalled the potential American influx by keeping Mexico cruddy. Their inept infrastructure, pollution, noise, and high accident rates have gotten across the message that while Mexico is an okay place to visit, you wouldn’t want to live there.

The most striking symbol of this is the continuing confusion over whether or not it’s safe to drink the water in Mexico (roughly a century after the U.S. achieved safe municipal drinking water).

Of course, Mexicans themselves pay a huge price for their various manifestations of public incompetence. For instance, Mexicans drink more bottled water than anybody else in the world, 234 liters per person annually, more than double what even rich Americans consume.

All this is a price they appear willing to pay. Why? Because Mexicans like having their own country.

I once asked a Swiss banker why Switzerland was so ludicrously expensive. He smiled and said, “it’s the easiest way to keep people out”. Mexico utilizes a similar strategy, only their goal is to keep Anglo-Americans out, which is best accomplished by keeping the place dirty and disorganized.

Note that they treat immigrants from the south very, very differently, since people from Central and South America are not dissuaded by the chaos.

“The Jewish face of immigration reform”

Yeah, so, about that….

Man featured in Time cover story on immigration reform is sentenced to 15 years in prison for child porn and sexually exploiting boy with brain cancer.

Naim, who immigrated to the US with his family when he was three years old, was named the ‘Jewish face of the immigration reform struggle’ after he appeared in the Time story. It was the first time Naim made his undocumented status publicly known.

‘My being public protects me because America loves stories,’ he told The Forward in 2013.

‘And when we hear about a good person — a person who is nice, who cares — we don’t want him deported; we want him in this country.’

No, we definitely want him deported. And all his family with him.

Importing disease

Tell us again how immigrants are beneficial to the native population, even when they are literally disease-infested:

One of every five refugees resettled in Minnesota by the federal government tested positive for latent tuberculosis in 2014, according to the state’s Department of Health.

Only 4 percent of the general population in the United States tested positive for latent tuberculosis in the most recent report provided by the Centers for Disease Control.

The April 2016 edition of the Refugee Health Quarterly, published by the Minnesota Department of Health reports that:

Minnesota had 150 cases of TB in 2015, compared to 147 cases in 2014 (a 2 percent increase). The most common risk factor for TB cases in Minnesota is being from a country where TB is common. TB screening is offered to all refugees during the domestic refugee health exam.

In 2014, 22 percent of refugees screened tested positive for LTBI (latent tuberculosis infection).

26 percent of all foreign born cases of tuberculosis in Minnesota were from people born in Somalia. Somalians almost exclusively enter the state through the refugee resettlement program.

Meanwhile, we’re simultaneously told by the same government that is importing disease-ridden aliens that if you don’t VACCINATE YOUR INFANT, you are practically committing murder.

Shades of infected blankets for the natives.

No room for refugees

Pitying poor refugees and granting them sanctuary in large numbers is always a mistake. Wikipedia on the Gothic War of 376-382.

In the summer of 376, a massive number of Goths arrived on the Danube River, the border of the Roman Empire, requesting asylum from the Huns. They came in two distinct groups: the Thervings led by Fritigern and Alavivus, and the Greuthungi led by Alatheus and Saphrax. Eunapius states their number as 200,000 including civilians, but Peter Heather estimates that the Thervings may have had only 10,000 warriors and 50,000 people in total, with the Greuthungi about the same size. The Cambridge Ancient History places modern estimates at around 90,000 people total.

The Goths sent ambassadors to the Eastern Roman Emperor Valens requesting permission to settle their people inside the Empire….

Many Goths inside Roman territory joined Fritigern, as did assorted slaves, miners, and prisoners. Roman garrisons in fortified towns held out, but those outside of them were easy prey. The Goths created a vast wagon train to hold all the loot and supplies pillaged from the Roman countryside, and they had much rage against the Roman population for what they had endured. Those who had started as starving refugees had transformed into a powerful army.

34 years later, Rome was sacked by Alaric. The same thing is going to happen to various cities in the USA and Europe if the “poor refugees” are not expelled from the West within the next 15-20 years.

But if your society collapses amidst ethnic violence, at least you can console yourselves with the knowledge that no one called you racist.
