A nation has a right to protect its borders and its culture
Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog is writing mostly about Europe, per se, but the implications regarding America are evident enough in his article. He writes of the implications of Muslim immigration impacting socialism and cultural norms there. Basically many European nations are kidding themselves about assimilation . . . and the economics are unsustainable – for the indigenous that is. Excerpts from The Death of Europe
But, as Central European countries are discovering, European values don’t have much to do with the preservation of viable functioning European states. Instead they are about the sort of static Socialism that Bernie Sanders admires from abroad. But even a Socialist welfare state requires people to work for a living. Maine’s generous welfare policies began collapsing once Somali Muslims swarmed in to take advantage of them. Denmark and the Dutch, among other of Bernie Sanders’ role models, have been sounding more like Reagan and less like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
Two years ago, the Dutch King declared that, “The classic welfare state of the second half of the 20th century in these areas in particular brought forth arrangements that are unsustainable in their current form.” That same year, the Danish Finance Minister called for the “modernization of the welfare state.”
But the problem isn’t one of modernization, it’s medievalization. . . .
Mohammed doesn’t share European values. Nor are they likely to take hold of him no matter how often the aging teachers, who hope he gets a job and subsidizes their retirement, try to drill them into his head. Europeans expect Mohammed to become a Swede or a German as if he were some child they had adopted from an exotic country and raised as their own, and work to subsidize their European values.
The Muslim migrants are meant to be the retirement plan for an aging Europe. They’re supposed to keep its ramshackle collection of economic policies, its welfare states and social programs rolling along.
But they’re more like a final solution.
Mohammed is Fritz’s retirement plan. But Mohammed has a very different type of plan. Fritz is counting on Mohammed to work while he relaxes. Mohammed relaxes and expects Fritz to work. Fritz is not related to him and therefore Mohammed sees no reason why he should work to support him. . . .
Europe is slowly killing itself in the name of European values. It’s trying to protect its economic setup by bankrupting it. European values have become a suicide pact. Its politicians deliver speeches explaining why European values require mass Muslim migration that make as little sense as a lunatic’s suicide note.
Islamic values are not compatible with European values. Not only free speech and religious freedom, but even the European welfare state is un-Islamic. Muslims have a high birth rate because their approach to the future is fundamentally different than the European one. Europeans have chosen to have few children and many government agencies to take care of them. Muslims choose to have many children and few government agencies. The European values so admired by American leftists have no future. . . .
. . . Instead of changing its values, it’s trying to maintain them by killing itself. The Mohammed retirement plan won’t save European Socialism. It will bury it.
That’s only their problem?
Sure, most illegal immigrants come here with a willingness to work but the substantial no-questions- asked welfare benefits are not turned down — the so called “shadows” illegals live in are part of the scam — until a child is born and then the anchor is dropped. The fraud on the system is rampant including by those who hire illegals at lower wages or want cheap legal immigration, shoving the true costs onto the rest of the taxpayers — the Chamber of Commerce plan.
Those who want to come here for our culture, our freedoms and respect our rule of law, to do so in an orderly fashion, not invade, to assimilate not grift or conquer . . . great . . . our blessings be upon them.
