Illegal Immigration A Factor In Presidential Campaign ... J. D. Longstr
2012-04-27 09:28:00 Illegal Immigration A Factor In Presidential Campaign A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet The festering boil known as illegal immigration will soon become an irritant to both sides in the presidential campaign. The US Supreme Court will hand down it?s ruling on the controversial Arizona immigration law in June. No matter what the ruling, illegal immigration will be injected smack-dab in the middle of the campaigns of both political parties. There is no avoiding it. I think that is a good thing. Like a boil -- it needs lancing. We need to have this fight and be done with it. Problem is, as I see it, we're never going to be done with it as long as we approach illegal immigration and border security piece meal, in fits and starts. I see the problem of illegal immigration and border security is black and white -- no shades of gray, no nuance. In my opinion, the US should halt ALL immigration immediately until we can devise a reasonable, lawful, wa...

Arizona, illegal immigration, and a dolt--Eric Holder
2010-05-18 23:54:00 Holder.U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation's chief law enforcement officer, has admitted to Congress that he has not read Arizona's controversial anti-illegal immigration law.Reported the Washington Times:Mr. Holder acknowledged to the [congressional] panel he hadn't read the law he was criticizing, and he gave conflicting accounts on whether he had talked to the team that was reviewing it.Added the newspaper:Asked Monday whether Mr. Obama had read the law, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he believed Mr. Obama had asked for information from his lawyers.Hard to imagine that those two haven't done the most fundamental thing in dealing with the nation's hottest issue: immigration. They're probably too busy trying to figure out how to try terrorists in New...

Unglued response to Arizona illegal immigration law
2010-05-04 06:13:00 Objections to Arizona's new illegal immigration law have become unhinged, reckless and deceitful, far beyond even the fight-club mayhem that characterized the battle over ObamaCare.U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., invoked the Holocaust: "The words 'show me your papers' we've known from movies of World War II coming out of the mouth of a Nazi." Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony likened the law to "German Nazi and Russian communist techniques." Joshua Hoyt, director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, declared ". . . a racial reign of terror spreading across the country . . . , " referring to the murderous anarchy accompanying the French Revolution.

Arizona illegal immigration law: Boycott or buycott?
2010-05-01 02:09:00 San Fransisco, among others, wants to build a figurative fence, blocking off Arizona from other states' money for having the audacity to pass a law that would enforce existing federal law. Because the feds are doing such a bang-up job of enforcing the law. The shame of it. But, I suspect, that a boycott of Arizona would have about as much success as the real wall on the Mexican border has had at keeping illegal aliens out of the country. Nonetheless, the various calls for boycotts and demonstrations satisfy the emotional demands of those who see a Hitler behind it. Or a return to the apartheid policies of South Africa....
Illegal Immigration What Is The Real Issue?
2010-04-30 08:17:00 What is the real issue surrounding Illegal Immigration? Considering the latest uproar over Arizona asserting it's sovereign right to protect its' lawful citizens and taxpayers right to reject having to contribute public monies to support the influx of illegals entering their state, it seems to me that people who support illegal entry don't care about the bigger picture. Why is it okay for people to enter our country illegally anyway? Why do seemingly rational people reject "acceptance of law" when breaking it comes so blatantly?

Great Article on Illegal Immigration
2008-11-28 12:35:00 Here, by the fine writer Heather MacDonald. The Sanctuary City laws (list of Sanctuary Cities) issue is admittedly complex, and many police chiefs do support them.The idea is that cops want illegals to cooperate as crime victims and witnesses to crimes. But my observation is that illegals don't cooperate even if they are crime victims. I watched one car full of illegals hit a van with a couple of illegals in it in town recently. I asked the people who got hit if they wanted to go to the cops, but they turned around, got back in their vehicle and drove away.It's well known that the local gangbangers around here prey on drunken illegals, who are often wandering around at 3 AM with pockets full of cash. It's called "rolling drunks." The victim never goes to the cops.It seems like 50% of this stupid city of 50,000 people are illegal aliens and their awful children. If in general they acted like Danes or Japanese, I honestly don't think people would care that much. They don't, and t...

2008-11-15 14:02:00 Under Obama.You've seen all the headlines suggesting that Hilary may have a position in this Cabinet, but they are not saying what position. I don't know either, but Debka is tipping us that it may be Secretary of State. Debka has deep links to Mossad, but they are also flat-out wrong a lot. I'll give them a hat tip on this one, and we will see how it works out. If it does, hey, you heard it first here, right?I always thought that Barack should have given Hillary the VP position. Word was he did not want to because she was too powerful and threatening. I think it would have been a killer ticket, but Barack alone did well. One thing I liked about Hillary was she took a (Relatively!) hard line on illegal immigration, easily the stupidest, most bizarre, most surreal, most Kafkaesque and most insane issue in the US today.Let's see, we have 12 million people who sneaked into the US illegally and are breaking the law, in particular spitting in the faces of the poor sods who stood in l...

The Insanity of Unilateral Anti-Racism

The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated September 2:In the comments section, Lafayette Sennacherib, a very smart British White guy with no interest in White nationalism, notes, regarding WN, that the WN's do have a point: A White Nationalist argument that has some merit is that tribal loyalties are unfortunate but inevitable, and in the face of the organised tribal interest of at least one demographic, whites should not have their hands tied behind their backs. Could you deny that there is some merit in that?

The 14 Points of Fascism
2008-08-11 11:12:00 Excellent article.I'm usually the last person on Earth to throw the word, "fascist" around promiscuously, but this article lays it out pretty clearly that the Bush Administration is what I would call a pseudo-fascist or quasi-fascist regime (pseudo-fascist is more like it).This shit has actually been going on since Reagan came in. I'm not usually one to dog on my fellow Whites, but the US movement towards fascism can be laid directly at the feet of US Whites. Not only that, but I think that this whole movement by US Whites is related to racism and their fear of losing their demographic majority.As Euro-Whites decline to 65% (61% if you don't include Jews) of the population, note that the US Whites have been getting more and more fascist as their majority shrinks ever more.We went through a similar thing here in California when Whites were on the verge of losing their majority. Now that Whites a definite minority here in the state, the nasty, ugly and reactionary tendency of White...

The 2008 US Salmonella Outbreak
2008-08-02 04:32:00 Most of my American readers have heard of this outbreak. For those who want to read up on the details of it, this Wikipedia article covers the main points. The outbreak has now been located in a farm growing Serrano and Jalapeño peppers in Mexico, where it was found in water used to irrigate the field and in the field itself.In discussion on Mexico-hostile web forums, it was stated over and over that the reason for the outbreak was that Mexico allows raw sewage to run into the fields of its farms. I sort of doubt that that is true, but it sent me off on a quest to find out what Salmonella is and how Salmonellosis is transmitted.Non-typhoidal Salmonella is a bacterium that when transmitted to humans, can cause Salmonellosis. This disease often manifests as a gastrointestinal illness. The disease is most common in raw eggs and raw milk. It is killed by pasteurization and irradiation.You can also get it from handling reptiles, something I like to do. I especially like to catch snakes a...

Why Black People Can't Be Racist
2008-08-02 00:29:00 Updated 10:32 PM: The original title, Why White People Can't Be Racist , was in error, which is obvious if you read the post. The title has now been corrected to its original intended form.Actually, it's not my title. It's the title of a post written by Andrew Austin, a brilliant professor and fine writer whom I respect a lot, in response to an email from me. He's also a Communist, and both of us are members of the CPUSA. We do differ on a variety of issues though.Andrew is very much in the spirit of Cultural Marxism in much of his analysis, which I regard as just another type of Identity Politics. He doesn't neglect economic analysis though.I will just reprint the post in toto here, make some comments and then let the rest of you have at it. I'll probably respond to it at a later date: Robert Lindsay's criticism of my arguments posted on his blog are curious because he appreciates my attack upon White Supremacy while rejecting the logic upon which my argument rests.

Unions and Wage - Productivity Increases
2008-07-26 06:57:00 James Schipper's comments in the comments section suggest that productivity naturally leads to increased wages in capitalism due to the laws of capital and labor. I argue that productivity increases during conditions of labor surplus normal in most capitalist states probably come mostly due to the militant actions of Organized Labor.James does aver that the replacement of American workers with illegal alien labor did have an effect on the destruction of wages in the construction industry. I argue that there were two stages to the process.First they broke the unions, then they hired the illegals. Those were the two stages. The exact same thing occurred in many manufacturing plants, especially meat processing. Slaughterhouses, poultry-processing and seafood processing plants all used to be good union jobs with high wages as recently as the 1980's.First they took out the unions, then they brought in illegals or other immigrants to the work. Many other fields besides construction have...

No Hate Crimes?
2008-07-10 11:26:00 Updated July 15:On the more mainstream and moderate White nationalist sites such as American Renaissance, the general tone of the pieces and in the comments is that there really is no such thing as White racism in the US anymore.There are only a pitiful few incidents here and there, and it's all a big joke.Hanging nooses is just a silly gag. Blacks and Hispanics need to quit being so hypersensitive about everything, and just let it go. Racism, when it refers to Whites, is always in quotes, implying it does not even exist, while other races are constantly accused of racism against Whites that is actually real. So it is as if the only real racism problem in the US is against White people.The usual response is to say that these people are just a bunch of lying racists.I will, however, say that there is a bit of truth to these accusations. Racism by Whites is dramatically exaggerated in the US, and every little comment or scribble is inspected for the horrible crime. Hispanics and Blac...

On Immigration
2008-06-14 05:19:00 Updated June 18:We have quite a few folks coming to this blog who are opposed to immigration. To be honest, almost everyone in the US who is opposed to immigration is White, and to some extent, it's associated with White nationalism.There are also anti-immigrant sites out there like Vdare, but they are almost always on the crazy end of the spectrum. Vdare is not White nationalist, but they do want to end all immigration altogether. On the far moderate end of White nationalism, we have American Renaissance. I do like to hang out there because it's nice to hear real, honest talk on race for once.In general, the White nationalists on Amren want to end non-White immigration altogether.I'd like to point out that this is a crazy and extremist point of view. Furthermore, Whites are only 65% of the US in 2006 according to this chart, and possibly less. 2% of the US is Muslim, and the overwhelming majority are not Europeans. Another .5% of the population are Indian-Americans. 1% of the po...

My comments follow:James Schipper: There are two serious restraint on capitalism: competition and the need to make a profit.Competition between capitalists insures that the power of capital over consumers and labor is limited. Capitalists have a common interests in the preservation of the capitalist system, but at the same time, capitalists compete against other for the favors of the consumer and to get the best employees.Always remember that what makes capitalism work is not so much private property but competition. Private property without competition combines the worst of socialism and capitalism.The need to make a profit sets a limit on what the corporate media can do. Newspapers have to find readers and radio and TV stations have to find listeners and viewers. This implies that they can't be too overtly propagandistic, otherwise the readers, ...
