For my best birthday gift this week, Donald Trump called for blocking
Muslim immigration to the United States. If he throws in all immigration, it
will be my merriest Christmas ever.
By contrast, the eunuchs running against Trump went mental. Marco Rubio
called Trump's proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration "offensive and
outlandish." Rubio's idea for stopping Muslim terrorist attacks on U.S.
soil is something simple: Launch several wars to clean up the entire Middle
East.
Chris Christie called Trump's plan "ridiculous," saying,
"This is the kind of thing that people say when they have no experience
and don't know what they're talking about."
People with "experience" say things like: Walls don't work and
are "too expensive."
Ted Cruz said he disagreed with Trump and instead would focus on
"radical Islamic terrorism." Cruz will have a lot more radicals to
focus on if we keep importing a quarter million Muslims every year.
And these were Republicans. MSNBC acted as if the nation had come under
terrorist attack (by a Muslim immigrant) with its round-the-clock,
breaking-news coverage of Trump's proposal, rife with images of dangerous
demagogues from George Wallace to Hitler.
People without real arguments call anything they don't like
"racist" or "unconstitutional."
Trump's proposal is neither -- I won't waste space mentioning 100 years of
constitutional law and practice, but of course our country has absolute
authority to decide who gets to immigrate here.
In the 14 years since Muslims killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11, this country
has admitted another 1.5 million Muslims. So we're xenophobic, bigoted racists
if we don't make it 2 million? Three million? When will we have enough? How
many murdered Americans is an acceptable number before we can shut off the
spigot of Muslim immigration?
The amazing thing is that no one (except the American people) wants any
pause in Muslim immigration -- even after more than a dozen Muslim terrorist
attacks on our soil in the last 15 years.
House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he will refuse to consider cuts to
Muslim immigration, saying, "That's not who we are."
Republicans are totally copacetic with Pew's recent finding that white
Christians are now a minority in America, but furious with Trump for suggesting
we take a break from importing Muslims.
Can we move them to Ryan's district? According to Pew, only 11 percent of Muslims
are Republican or "lean Republican." They may not make the "best
Americans" -- as Ryan claims -- but at least they'd get rid of him.
The hysterical demand for never-ending Third World immigration
has gone beyond the rich's need for cheap servants and
the Democrats' need for voters. It's a mass psychosis.
has gone beyond the rich's need for cheap servants and
the Democrats' need for voters. It's a mass psychosis.
Everyone acts as if Pakistani pushcart operators are the same as American
blacks, and we're required to bring them here to make up for the legacy of
slavery.
Foreigners aren't the descendants of American slaves! The rest of the world
does not have a civil right to move here. We're under no moral imperative to
allow any immigration at all. We don't owe citizens of other countries
anything.
But as long as you brought it up: They owe us. America runs around saving
other countries from tsunamis, earthquakes, pirates, disease, starvation,
warlords, dictators, Nazis, communists -- then their citizens show up full of
grievances, as if we owe them.
Angry Muslims have been popping up all over TV to denounce Trump and
complain about anti-Muslim bigotry in the U.S. If they'd prefer a country with
a larger Muslim population and no white devil oppressors, low-rent mud huts are
available in any of about 50 Muslim countries around the world. First month
free; after that, two goats a month.
In addition to the thoughtful policy objection that Trump is a racist,
we've been treated to an endless stream of stunningly stupid arguments against
Trump's proposal.
Fox News' Dana Perino complained that Trump's policy doesn't
"distinguish the peaceful from the radicals." Yeah, nor can our
government.
Given the devastation caused by only two Muslims in San Bernardino, eight
Muslims in Paris, two at the Boston Marathon, one at a Chattanooga military
recruitment center, one at Fort Hood, 19 on 9/11, etc. etc. -- it's really
irrelevant whether "most" Muslim immigrants are peaceful little
lambs. It doesn't take a lot of them to create havoc. I don't know why we need
any.
While it's fantastic news that most Muslim immigrants aren't terrorists, as
Samuel Johnson said, "A horse who can count to 10 is a remarkable horse,
not a remarkable mathematician."
We want remarkable Americans, not immigrants whose selling point is:
"hasn't blown anything up yet." What's the upside of admitting
250,000 poor, culturally backward, non-English-speaking Muslims every year?
When are we allowed to talk about what's good for America?
San Bernardino shooter Syed Farouk's mother described his father -- the
original immigrant -- this way: "My husband is mentally ill and is on
medication but is also an alcoholic and drinks with the medicine."
Fantastic. So glad we got him. The father, who has been here since 1973 --
thanks, Teddy Kennedy! -- told an Italian newspaper that he preached moderation
to his son, saying it's not worth fighting Israel, because Russia, China and
the U.S. "don't want Jews there anymore." In "two years,"
he assured his son, "Israel will not exist anymore."
So after four decades in American culture, these highly integrated, model
immigrants are still clinging to their insane magic potion fantasies.
The senior Farouk didn't come here to work in some highly complex technical
field, like nuclear physics or cell extraction biology. He's a truck driver. So
one American lost his job as a truck driver and 14 Americans lost their lives
because of Ted Kennedy's 1965 immigration act.
How else have the 1.5 million Muslims admitted since 9/11 made our country
better? Their massive welfare use? Overburdening our schools and hospitals? The
machete attacks? The clitorectomies? The honor killings? The occasional
terrorist attack?
Currently, there are more than a thousand active investigations of ISIS in
all 50 states. Here's an idea: Instead of paying for an ever-expanding federal
workforce to track, wiretap and investigate immigrants with possible terrorist
sympathies, let's stop bringing them in!
Beginning to sense the public's fury, a number of Republican politicians
have been trying to talk tough on immigration. This week, Trump proved that
that's all it is: talk.
