Welcome Mat?

Immigration

Here’s an interesting conundrum.  As Jews in Britishland are becoming increasingly (and justifiably) afraid of, well, being Jewish in Britishland, you have this mindset:

Truth is, I don’t know a single Jewish family in London who doesn’t speak openly and often about leaving. These are dyed in the wool Brits, who love this country. But they are watching the England they know disintegrate around them.

If ever there’s a group of people crying out for refugee status, therefore, it’s this lot.

Ordinarily, of course, there is always the option for them to move to Israel — and if ever there was a raison d’être  for the state of Israel to continue to exist, this is surely it — but what about those who don’t want to move to some piece of desert in the Middle East?  (In my opinion, not an unreasonable position.)

Well, for those who would prefer another option, how about right here in the U.S. of A. (you know, the huddled masses of people yearning to breathe free business)?

I mean, in the main these are wealthy and successful citizens, unlikely to require any welfare assistance and perfectly capable of buying their own health insurance, unlike some immigrant ethnic groups I could name.

Now granted, there are several downsides for us to throw out the welcome mat for this lot.  For a start, they are mostly of the Lefty persuasion (like so many Jews are in this country, inexplicably), and we have to ask ourselves whether we want more of that kind of person coming here.  (We don’t — well, I’m pretty sure that most conservative Americans, i.e. most of us, feel that way — and it has nothing to do with them being Jewish.)

We could overcome this issue, however, and make the change less jarring by resettling this bunch in a state where the government is more like the one they’d be leaving behind, e.g. Chicago’s northwest side (the “N. California Avenue axis“) where many Jews (Reform and Orthodox) already live, but with a stipulation of ten-year residence there before they can relocate to Florida.

If not Chicago, then I would suggest Detroit’s Boston-Edison area, with the same 10-year residency requirement.  Okay, Boston-Ed is right next door to Dearbornistan, but unlike in Chicago, these new settlers would be able to buy guns to protect themselves.  (If they don’t want to own those nasty gun things, they deserve everything that happens to them.)  Detroit probably needs a chapter of Lox And Loaded, anyway.  And given that, like Chicago, Detroit is a reliably-Democrat stronghold already, the appearance of a score or so thousand more Democrat voters there wouldn’t make much difference in the grand scheme of things.

Or if they refuse the offer, we could just say, “Enjoy that Middle Eastern desert thing, guys.”

This article caught my attention:

Britain’s ‘ghost’ island: Tragic reason why last residents of remote archipelago left 95 years ago today

He’s talking about St. Kilda in the Outer Hebrides, and I believe the answer may be found on this map:

…which makes me think of only one thing:  future internment camp for illegal aliens.

Yeah, tell me you didn’t think of that too.

Alternative

Foreign Affairs, Immigration, Trumpism

There’s a good reason why this is happening:

Mass protests have exploded outside migrant hotels across the country this weekend as furious families gathered in major cities including Birmingham and London.

Hotels across Dudley, Epping, London, Manchester and Norwich have also braced for protests as communities seek to replicate the ruling for The Bell Hotel which, pending an appeal, must be closed within weeks. 

It comes after more than 30 protests under the Abolish Asylum system were held in towns and cities across the UK on Saturday. 

These included Bristol, Exeter, Tamworth, Cannock, Nuneaton, Liverpool, Wakefield, Newcastle, Horley, Canary Wharf, Aberdeen and Perth in Scotland, and Mold in Wales.

A separate batch of protests were also organised by Stand Up to Racism in Bristol, Cannock, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Wakefield, Horley and Long Eaton in Derbyshire.

Quite frankly, the Brits are rebelling against their government’s accommodationist [sic]  policy towards illegal immigrants — I’m sorry, I meant “asylum seekers” — because Britain doesn’t have anything like this*:

And here’s the big difference.  We have facilities like the above because:

The Brits, on the other hand, never voted for “asylum hotels”, but had them thrust upon them by their (elected) government.  So it’s all very well blaming the Britgov for doing this, but let’s be honest about the whole thing:  it’s not like the awful Labour Party ever disguised their intentions — and the Brits voted them into power anyway because the “Conservative” Party had cocked up the whole migrant issue themselves, and I suppose the Brit voters wanted to “teach them a lesson”.

Well, that worked well for them, didn’t it?

Now, the Tories are but a shadow of their former [ahem Thatcherite]  glory, and the party most likely to replace them as the proper Opposition is…

That’s assuming, of course, that Farage can survive the typical (and tiresome) British tradition of political treachery and backstabbing.

But if all the above popular demonstrations are anything to be believed, it means that native Brits have finally fond their voice, and a principle to rally around.

And it’s about damn time.  Let’s just hope that it’s not too late.

*I know, I know:  some idiot judge has rued that AlliAlc must be closed or something, so we’ll just have to find another place that doesn’t upset the local Democrats Indian tribe.  (Maybe we should just offer to convert AlliAlc into a fucking casino in ten years’ time, just to shut them up.)

Not-So-Greener Pastures

Immigration

I read the following article with interest:

More than half of young people have considered leaving Britain under Labour, a think tank has found.
Adults between 18-30 years old said they had “serious concerns” about housing, personal finances and their future in the UK, leaving them “overtaxed, underhoused and undervalued”.
According to The Adam Smith Institute poll, 28 per cent of young Britons are either actively planning (8 per cent) or have seriously considered (20 per cent) emigrating. A further 30 per cent have briefly considered it.

But:

The researchers found that Australia, the USA, Canada and Italy were the most popular destinations for young people considering emigrating.

Well, okay then.  Certainly, anyone looking for better prospects that they have in once-Great Britain might certainly consider the USA — although the current MAGA attitude of Americans might well stick in their craw, if they believe everything they’ve been told by the BBC et al.

But Strylia and Canuckistan?

I don’ thank so, Scooter.

There are good reasons to suspect that Down Under and the Great White Place provide, if anything, even worse prospects for the more youthful than their home country.  (Just wait till they try to find affordable accommodation in Sydney / Melbourne or Toronto / Vancouver.  Might as well go to Chelsea / Knightsbridge.)

As for the socio-political world… oy.  Both Strylia and Canuckistan almost define the term “woke” in terms of their attitude, and their respective national governments are on a par with Britishland’s when it comes to dismal economic prospects.

And finally:  I’m not sure that Murka really wants a bunch of young Brits transplanted Over Here, given that said demographic group is in thrall to working from home (WFH), wokeness and similar nonsense.  Now, if we were talking about their parents (e.g Mr. Free Market and his ilk) — now that’s a more acceptable prospect;  but those worthies have already made plans to move to Switzerland, Monaco and other exotic, low-tax or tax-free locales.

Try Italy, kids.  Just deal with the fact that you’ll have to learn to speak Italian because surprise, surprise:  not everyone wants to speak English, or is prepared to put up with people who refuse to speak anything but.  Also, I have a suspicion that your Italian peer group probably feels about their prospects in Italy in exactly the same way that you do yours in the UK.

Good luck with that.

One Small Detail

Immigration, Terrorism

I see that ICE is doing the right thing and deporting the entire family of the Boulder Bomber (who is, lest we forget, an illegal alien).  This is a Good Thing.

The wife and children of Egyptian illegal alien Mohamad Soliman, the terrorist who firebombed Americans peacefully walking on the street in downtown Boulder Sunday, have been taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and will be deported soon. The family is being processed for expedited removal, which allows rapid deportation without a hearing before an immigration court/judge.

I just hope that on the way out, the State Department remembers to revoke any U.S. citizenship that may have resulted from in-country births.  (Note:  this is one good reason why Trump is attempting to end the “citizenship-by-birth” boondoggle, which hardly exists outside the U.S. anyway.)

There Goes The Neighborhood

Africa, Immigration

Argh, now we’ve done it:

A U.S. Department of State official told the outlet on Friday that the Trump administration is hoping to take in many more than the small group of 59 Afrikaners that arrived in Washington, DC, last month.

“We won’t be talking about dozens of arrivals, but hundreds and perhaps thousands,” the official said. While they did not specify an exact time frame, the official added that “we’ll start to massively scale this up” towards the “second half of summer.” 

Referring to a backlog of more than 50,000 applications for refugee status from Afrikaners, who frequently face political and racial violence in their home country, the official added that this number will “continue to rise.”

I can guarantee one thing:  these particular transplants will allow themselves to be quickly absorbed into our society.  Very soon, their kids will be speaking with American accents and will be indistinguishable from native-born Murkins.  (In the case of one of my Seffrican buddies, his two preteen daughters were speaking with full American accents within a year of their arrival.)

Kim’s Law of Groups states that in any population numbering more than a dozen, the chances are that ten percent will turn out to be assholes.  For some reason, I think the chances of these Dutchies becoming criminals will be rather less than that.

Anyway, it’s a whole bunch of conservative, God-fearing folks with very traditional family values, a profound knowledge of dry-weather farming, and a strong work ethic.

We could do a lot worse.
