Diversity/Perversity
The following is a quote from “The Savage Nation”, By Michael Savage (pps. 135-136).
Muslims are now the largest religious minority in Germany, a status the Jews had in prewar Germany. But Ms. Merkel believes the situations are not entirely comparable. She said: ‘the Jews were Germans. They spoke the German language. But this is often not the case with the Turks’.
Merkel explains that in the 1970s, there were four million foreigners and two million of them had jobs. Today there are seven million foreigners, but the number with jobs has stagnated. Immigrants didn’t move into their labor market but into their social security system, she said.
This is the problem.
Immigrants are sucking the social security system of Germany dry as a bone. Her solution? Curtail foreigners by, for instance, speeding up deportation procedures for deportation of illegals and tightening regulations for family members to join immigrants already in Germany.
Did you hear that?
But she’s not anti-immigration. At the same time, she wants to lure highly qualified foreigners to the country. She said, ‘We want real specialists. We want to offer much better opportunities. We must be part of the war for talent in the world.’
Ms. Merkel is irritated by American calls to bring Turkey swiftly into the EU. You know why? She said, ‘Membership confers the right to work freely within the Union. Millions more Turks could pour into Germany. Imagine taking away the border between Mexico and the United States. It is just not possible in the foreseeable future.’
Ms. Merkel, why don’t you run for the president of the United States of America?
I maintain that ethnic diversity just for the sake of diversity is also a form of perversity. Ms. Merkel has made it clear that some immigrants are demonstratively more worthy of inviting into Germany than others. More than that, she wants to welcome into Germany skilled people with strong track records. That is the kind of sound policy toward immigration America must adopt if America is to remain strong.
End Quote.
The times when America can mindlessly admit immigrants because of family ties, or diversity quotas, or other reasons not related to building a stronger and more competitive nation are over. We are now in the process of self-destruction by immigration…among a plethora of other destructive acts that we ignorantly continue to inflict upon ourselves.
I will have more to say about our self-defeating immigration policies in the future.

P.S. In the quote above, Ms. Merkel asks us to “imagine taking away the border away between Mexico and America”. What’s to Imagine? It has already been done! Ask Arizona…Ask the Obama Administration…ask the Bush Administration.
