Easy for you to say: To the elites on mass immigration

June 20, 2022

Source: Maggie's Farm (September 11, 2015). Mass multicultural immigration is a highly disruptive, if not destructive, event to an established, stable culture. These things used to be called invasions because, even without force of arms, the power of masses of unwanted people can be difficult to resist (see Mexico/US). Regular people know that mass immigration will assimilate with difficulty, even if they want to. Regular people know that they will not value or respect their history, their legacies, their traditions, as they do. This is why regular people do not welcome mass multicultural invasions. For us ordinary people, it's much more about preserving a culture and a neighborhood than it is about economics.

Commentary

Face it. While a diversity of thought and ideas is admirable, a diversity of culture, language, values and traditions is more likely to me a clash than a collaboration. Multiculturalism is just a cover for the fact that a variety of dysfunctional cultures have infiltrated prosperous, western cultures, dragging down progress rather than elevating anyone, other than the short-run value of cheap, illegal, foreign labor to undercut wages and to provide the uber wealthy with a plethora of services, from nannies to gardeners.

Yes, some very well-educated foreigners find the US to be a welcoming place and American companies are eager to employ them, but as much because they drive down labor costs as they add ingenuity and innovation to our culture and economy. American corporations ahem struggled with waves of outsourcing/offshoring, followed by reversing the process with onshoring, only to take advantage of crises like the pandemic policies to mover work remotely tow quite remote parts of the world. Anecdotally, it is often difficult to communicate with someone who has English as a weak second language, especially when they are trying to communicate with an unhappy or distressed customer. Here diversity is a serious problem, not an asset, even if the service is "cheap." It harkens back to my longstanding case from my teaching days, where management had to struggle with where and how to position customer service, i.e., in house or not, domestic or foreign, personal and digital.

Face this too. I am much more comfortable traveling to Scotland then to Asia. And it is not racism that makes this the case. It's the foreign language, the foreign food tastes and offerings, the foreign customs, the widespread equality of poverty, and the basic resentment of the long-standing success of the American economy, well into its third century and doing quite well, thank you, as China stumbles along, Russia implodes, India struggles, and western European powers squabble and dire off demographically while expanding socialism and immigration at a terrible long-term cost. As noted earlier in these pages, importing cheap, poorly educated, culturally different foreign labor to "do the jobs Americans won't of" is a fool's errand at best and a disaster in the making.

If you believe that immigration will solve poverty, think again.
