Yesterday, I jokingly said this:
Quote : | "Looks like it's time for Americans to be making more babies to avoid this. I'd say immigration control, but we know that won't be happening." |
Today, John Gibson (the guy with the hair on Fox) was serious about this.
Quote : | "Procreation Not Recreation Thursday, May 11, 2006 By John Gibson
Make more babies. That's the lesson drawn out of two interesting stories over the last couple days.
First, a story Wednesday that half the kids under 5 years old in this country are minorities. By far, the greatest number are Hispanic.
Know what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority population is Hispanic.
Why is that? Hispanics are having more kids and others, notably the ones Hispanics call gabachos — white people — are having fewer.
Now in this country, European ancestry people — white people — are having kids at a rate that sustains the population, even grows it a bit.
That compares to Europe where the birthrate is in the negative zone. They're not having enough babies to sustain the population.
Consequently, they are inviting in more and more immigrants every year to take care of things, and those immigrants are having way more babies that the native population. Hence Eurabia.
Why aren't they having babies? Because babies get in the way of a prosperous and comfortable modern life. Peanut butter fingerprints on the leather seats in the BMW. The Euros in particular can't be bothered with kids.
To underscore that point, a second story Thursday reports that Vladimir Putin is so concerned about the declining, no imploding population of Russia he is paying couples to have babies.
Imagine: Procreating for cash in Mother Russia.
Putin has to take this step because at the rate things are going, Russia will lose 45 million people in the next 45 years. Russia will be at two-thirds of today's population.
This is not a good trend for Russia, and it won't be here either if it should happen.
To put it bluntly: We need more babies. Forget that zero population growth stuff of my poor, misled generation.
Why is this important? Because civilizations need populations to survive
So far we're doing our part here in America, but Hispanics can't carry the whole load.
The rest of you: Get busy. Make babies.
Or put another way, a slogan for our times: Procreation not recreation.
That's My Word." |

Quote : | "What, are you saying they would be better people if only we were better people? " |
"Better people" is a loaded phrase. But most -- not all -- of the time, people won't be assholes to you if you aren't assholes to them. This is more a "Do unto others" thing than a "two wrongs" thing.
Quote : | "What, just because the President of Iran is calling for the destruction of Israel does that make us morally "forgiven" for calling for the destruction of Iran?" |
This isn't just an issue of morality, it's an issue of cause and effect. If you don't want the Mexicans pissy at us, don't get pissy at the Mexicans. If you think you have a right to be pissy at the Mexicans, go ahead, but don't act all surprised and indignant when they return the favor.
That said, our treatment of immigrants is wrong, and sometimes the only way to convince people that what they are doing is bad is to do it to them. Is it necessarily right? No. But it can be very effective.
If I thought the immigrants were demanding an unjust change, I wouldn't be for them, but I would still understand their tactics. As it is, they are demanding a thoroughly right and just claims, so I'm both.
Quote : | "More importantly, how does us not being assholes guarantee that they won't be assholes?" |
It doesn't guarantee anything, but that's the way to bet. Change might not be instant, but my money says it would probably come sooner rather than later.
Quote : | "are they pure of heart and would never have thought of racism without first seeing it practiced among their neighbors to the north?" |
Of course not. But in recent and more racially enlightened times, you don't really see them practicing it in this particular fashion until we've been a pack of bitches for long enough.
Quote : | "It's fighting racism with racism, which doesn't solve anything." |
It may be the case that the strategy is ineffective -- in fact, it almost certainly is. All their little day has done is to make people like you more opposed to them, and make it harder for people like me to defend them.
What it does not do is make Mexico into a country of racists and xenophobes on the order of the United States sometimes (although other things they do may acheive that end).

Quote : | "The War on Immigration Will Fail by Wade A. Mitchell, The Ludwig Van Mises Institute Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006
Let's look at the problem of immigration from another angle. There exists a market demand for low-skilled cheap labor. Part of this demand is being met by outsourcing of jobs overseas. The rest is met by vast numbers of immigrants coming to this country. Illegal immigration is the market supplying a demand. A demand is being met and satisfied. When viewed this way, how is this a problem? This triumph of the market is not in itself a problem.
This can only be viewed as a problem when the illegal immigrants expect goods and services from the state that existing residents must pay for. These come in many forms: hospitalization, cash payments, affirmative action privileges, public schools (that's a huge one), voting rights, and a range of political demands that impinge on people's expectations concerning language, security, and political cohesion. Then there is the problem of the justice and security system in this country, which doesn't even work for residents, much less for poor immigrants.
In other words, nearly all problems associated with immigration that appear to be demographic in nature are actually problems associated with regime intervention in what would otherwise be a peaceful trading environment. A single state ruling over a polyglot territory is an inherently unstable mix; add a vast welfare and regulatory state to it and you have an explosive situation on your hands.
We can expect many new calls for a war on immigration. And guess what the result of that will be: a vastly larger state, which will only make the existing problem worse. History will teach us everything we need to know about starting a so called "War on Illegal Immigration." The US government has been somewhat less than successful with other "wars." Let's look at it beginning with the "war" on alcohol.
The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution brought us Prohibition. During this time, the government tried to stop the manufacture, distribution, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. At least the citizens at that time had enough respect for the constitution to realize that no such authority existed and they passed an amendment giving the Fed's the authority. This exercise was an abysmal failure. The damage to our system of jurisprudence was so great and the cost so high that the people repealed the prohibition in just 14 years. Once again, the government tried to place obstacles in the path of the market and failed.
The so called "War on Poverty" was begun in the 1960s by President Johnson. By some estimates, this war has cost 7–10 trillion dollars. Just using the low end of this estimate, the federal government could write a check to every man, woman, and child in the country for $23,333.34. Yet, we still have poor people in our midst. Why? Were our intentions not honorable? Didn't we mean well? Regardless of our intentions, this war is also a failure in every respect. LBJ is currently enjoying his just reward and we are still paying the bill for his folly.
Today we find ourselves engaged in a "War on Drugs." Like Prohibition, this war has been very costly in blood, treasure, and liberties. Even those of us who do not use illicit drugs have been forced to surrender our liberties in an effort to fight this so-called war. This war is also un-winnable because there is a market for narcotic and hallucinogenic drugs. I am not arguing that it is wise to use drugs . . . just that this war is far too expensive in too many ways and it is also a total failure.
What do these three examples have to do with illegal immigration? They are just examples of what we might expect to get if we demand that government do something about this or any other problem. Do we think for a moment that the new war on illegal immigration will be any more successful than any of these previous programs? The market will overcome any obstacle government can place in its path. As long as there is a market for anything, the demand will be met. Let's look at some more of government's attempts to interfere with market demand.
Jail — the most secure facility that government can construct — still leaks. Contraband products still make their way inside of the walls of every jail. Why? Because there is a market for these forbidden products. If government cannot stop the flow of contraband into a jail, how on earth do you think it will ever stop a porous border with Mexico? Sure, we could spend billions of dollars in the effort but it would enjoy the same level of success as the other failed attempts.
Various talking heads have suggested the problem could be fixed easily . . . with the stroke of a pen. They are convinced that all we have to do is put an armed guard every four feet along the southern border and this will stop the flow. It will do no such thing. As we have seen, the market will simply devise ways to get around any obstacle that government can create.
Others have suggested throwing the employers in jail. This approach is particularly egregious. This employer may have done something illegal when he hired an illegal alien . . . but what has he done wrong? He has hurt no one. He has helped a person climb up out of poverty. He has done so without the aid of his fellow citizens and the immigrant has improved himself because of this one employer and his actions to meet a market demand. To deprive an entrepreneur of his liberty for doing nothing immoral is repugnant to me as a citizen.
Besides, we would then be without whatever this person was producing. We would have to pay for his incarceration and possibly add the members of his family to the welfare rolls. This would be terribly expensive and the potential for abuse is enormous. What if I had a competitor that I knew was using illegal immigrants? Couldn't I turn him in to the authorities to eliminate the competition? That way I could jack my prices up without improving the product at all. The consumer would be forced to buy my higher-priced product. Does this really sound like a good idea?
Let's look at government as we would look at any other supplier of services. If they don't do a good job, quit using them and go on to someone who is better equipped and has more incentive to get the job done right. If you took a broken chair to a wood shop to be repaired and it fell apart the first time you sat in it, would you go back to this same shop and insist the proprietor take more money from you to do the job right the next time? I doubt it. Yet this is exactly how we respond to government failure. When the schools do not educate we give them more money.
If we continue to clamor for tougher enforcement of immigration laws, the politicians in Washington who always have a damp finger in the air to see which way the sheep would like to be led will certainly spend billions of your dollars in an attempt to do just that.
When government fails, as it surely will, the politicians who pushed for this program will be enjoying a very lucrative retirement (at your expense) and a new crop of liars and thieves will be sitting on their perch at the helm of government arguing for more money, for better tools and training, more manpower, etc. But rest assured, this program will enjoy the same level of success as any previously mentioned attempt to thwart the market.
If we truly want to solve the illegal immigration problem, we would do well to curb and abolish the regime-based reasons that immigration has become such a contentious issue." |
Hmmm..not demanding the gov't to stop illegal immigration, because it will grow the power and scope of gov't control. I might have to re-think this.

I think I am being misunderstood. History is full of examples of countries who eventually become seperated on ethnic, racial or religious lines. Germany and the Jews, Hutu vs. Tutsi, Croat vs. Serb, South African apartheid, Protestant vs. Catholic, Sunni vs. Shiite; anti immigrant backlash in the US and Europe, ect. Those are just some recent examples of what has been going on for thousands of years.
It is difficult, of not impossible to find a country where true equality exists between all people with adiverse ethnic and racial makeup. I know that it doesn't exist in the United States today.

Besides, your statements seem to assume that "true equality" has existed among purely homogeneous societies.

Therefore, lamenting that such impossiblities have not existed in multi-cultural societies is neither here nor there.
I would propose to you that human beings are imperfect and no society will ever achieve perfection, however you define it. As such, I would submit that as far as human society has ever come America favors very well.
