Timely Reminders of Z-ality

In the middle of our nation's "great debate" over its immigration policies Venezuela reminds us of two recurring themes in Latin politics: dictators and marching mobs.

Not that we should need reminders. Surly mobs march in our streets several times a year now. One of the many joys of multiculturalism. We'll find out if we have a dictator in about 18 months.

Speaking of reminders, Lawrence Auster put his finger right on the problem:

We know the pattern. London, Fort Dix, JFK, and each subsequent event will be treated as though it were something “shocking,” new, and unique, because our liberal belief system refuses to recognize the transcendent reality that we have an enemy, that the enemy is among us, and that he is among us due to one cause and one cause only: immigration. There is therefore only one way to end Muslim terrorist attacks in the West, and that is to keep Muslims from entering the West and to initiate a steady out-migration of the Muslims who are here back to their native countries. Sixty-five percent of the Muslim population in the U.S. are immigrants.

Once everybody's a zitizen the media will have a much easier time selling their "home-grown terrorist" whitewash. Just some "random" Americans planning "random" attacks. You have to be a racist who doesn't want what's right for the country to think our double plus wonderful open border policies are in any way to blame.

WSJ and O'Reilly: Deportation Deniers

Video: WSJ editorial board gleefully slanders conservatives

"It's all about culture. But they can't say that."

Memo to the WSJ editors, in case nobody has told you this yet:

I don't want to live in a filthy violent Third World shithole with a banana republic government whose politics are dictated by mobs in the streets. We are being invaded and I expect my government to protect its territory and its citizens, not to side with the invaders.

I'm also having a problem understanding why we're letting so many free-speech-hating jihad-prone Muslims in.

Is that cultural enough?

Friday night Bill O'Reilly said: "I agree with Tony Snow, the federal justice system could not possibly deport 12 million people." "That's insane, never gonna happen."

For some reason neither Snow nor O'Reilly applied that same argument to the even larger bureaucracy that will be required to administer Z visas and background checks and fines and the rest of the Senate amnesty bill. That, apparently, is perfectly doable. Why?

Nobody asks. Nobody explains.

O'Reilly also asserted: "The California economy would implode."

Implode? How could losing 5-10% of the least skilled, below-average educated, above-average unemployed, above-average criminal portion of our society cause the economy to implode? Even if they go gradually?

Nobody asks. Nobody explains.

What about the benefits of losing that 5-10%? Less crowding. Less crime. Less burden on our schools, hospitals, and other infrastructure. Less pollution. Less mobs in the streets.

Nobody asks. Nobody explains.

The problem is these big city know-it-alls aren't troubled by shitholes. They live and work in the skies above the country's biggest shithole, New York City. They made their peace with it long ago. They don't care what their open borders idealism costs the rest of us.

The cost of replacing their servant class, on the other hand - their nannies, housekeepers, landscapers, valets, doormen, waiters, cooks - with more expensive and uppity natives...well, that's just too barbaric to even consider. It is literally unthinkable.

It's all about their servants. But they can't say that.
