Suddenly everybody is starting to realize that open
borders are dangerous. You and I have been pointing
that out for years. But protecting our borders was
considered to be racist, a move supported only by
naziswhowanttokillsixmillionjews.
All the respectable conservatives and the liberals
kept saying that Hispanic-Americans should be loyal
to their fellow Hispanics across the border. They
all agreed that Hispanics in California would never
forgive white Californians for supporting Proposition
187, which took legal benefits away from illegal aliens.
Senator McCain has stated flatly that Hispanic-Americans
should be loyal to Hispanics first:
-July 14, 2001 - THE
FOUNDING FATHERS' PATRIOTISM IS MCAIN'S TREASON
-July 14, 2001 - NO
LOYALTY TO THE AMERICAN ***PEOPLE*** WAS WHAT LINCOLN
DEMANDED IN THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
- July 14, 2001 - ACCORDING
TO ALL OF TODAY'S CONSERVATIVE SPOKESMEN, MCAIN IS
RIGHT -- LOYALTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS TREASON
TO TRUE AMERICANISM.
But now that foreign terrorists are killing Americans
by the thousand those open borders don't look so wonderful.
Not only that, but the idea that non-Anglo-Saxon
Americans owe their first loyalty to their native
cultures is not so popular. The same people who were
saying before September 11 that only anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews
would ask a Hispanic to worry about the welfare of
Americans over foreign Hispanics are now screaming
for the blood of Arab-Americans whose loyalty is with
the Arabs.
Melting pot advocates have been for open borders
and they have denounced anybody who said a non-Anglo-American
owed any loyalty to America over his native race and
culture. Suddenly, what was absolutely right for Hispanics
has become a no-no for Arab-Americans.
WOL and our readers have said from the get-go that
both of these things are no-nos. If you were born
in America but your loyalty lies in Mexico or Arabia
or Israel, then you should be put on the next plane
to your real country.
There is third foundation of the melting pot that
is getting questioned since September 11. That is
the idea that American society should be based on
minority grudges.
A few years back a black man got on a New York commuter
train with an automatic weapon, screamed anti-white
epithets and shot a lot of whites. His leftist lawyers
(William Kunstler's last case) tried to get him off
with a new doctrine called "black rage." A black,
they argued, had the right to go nuts and kill whites
because of his righteous resentments of the treatment
of blacks by whites in America.
If they had won -- and in California they might have
-- all blacks would have had a license to kill whites!
This is slavery reparations carried to its logical
extreme!
In "The Godfather" a gangster said, "We're bigger
than US Steel." The white guilt industry in this
country makes US Steel look puny. As just one example,
it was the basis of the War on Poverty. For academics
who want big grants and who dream of a world run by
college professors, white guilt is a major instrument.
In a world of guilt the sociologist would be king.
But since September 11 people with big grudges against
society are not looking so attractive. Now the shooting
license is being handed out to anyone with a grudge
against anybody, not just white gentiles. That makes
a society based on grudges a lot less attractive to
the media and our rulers in general.
If the situation gets no worse, things will go back
to normal on these issues. But if Superterrorism in
the form of nuclear or bacteriological or chemical
weapons hits, the melting pot may be on its way to
ruin, as I predicted in two articles reprinted on
September 11:
SUPERTERRORISM
(originally published November 21, 1998) and LEFTISTS
SHOW US HOW NOT TO DEAL WITH TOMORROW'S TERRORISM
(originally published April 1, 2000)
