Here are these wonderful people with fascinating languages, cuisines, clothing & music that we will have the good fortune to be exposed to if we welcome them to settle within our borders. <BR/><BR/>Not so often mentioned is that immigrants from other cultures have customs and marriage practices that may give them an advantage over citizens of Western societies. Family size is perhaps the most salient issue since in a democracy a subculture can have influence directly proportional to the numbers of people identifying with that subculture. <BR/><BR/>Leftists like to make accusations of neo-nazi-darwinianism anytime someone raises the issue of IQ and ability when discussing immigration but remain silent on the consequences of subcultures who are biologically more successful gaining political advantage simply from having more children than the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>I think it's not only important that we discuss the characteristics of the immigrants we allow into the US but the obvious conflict between Minority vs minority rights. Is it really fair that our way of life, our freedoms and ideals undergo constant revision from newcomers who belong to ethnic/religious groups sizeable enough to become a voting block? <BR/><BR/>Do we revert to earlier forms of our own culture, marrying & starting families in our teens in order to compete? Or do we abandon the dictates of multiculturalism by insisting that newcomers adapt to our cultural hegemony simply because we established the country?<BR/><BR/>All indications are that we won't pursue either of the above courses which means that we will simply be revised into obscurity. Are the multiculturalist-socialist elite really content to let this happen?<BR/><BR/>(I'm constantly amazed that the articles on iSteve don't cause so much controversy that he is banned from the internet.

It wasn't the Huns or the Germans external to the Empire that really did the Romans in. It was a combination of things, but one big problem was the gradual monopolization of the Roman Empire's military by Germans who had been allowed to settle within the Empire and who were often employed as low-level soldiers. The Germans didn't fully assimilate and had a tendency to put tribal interests ahead of imperial ones. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavius_Aetius" REL="nofollow">Flavius Aëtius</A> is often called the "Last Roman General" but that is only because nearly all the western Roman generals after him were Germans. Aëtius himself was reportedly half-Gothic or half-Scythian.<BR/><BR/>The story of the Huns is an interesting one with some lessons for border security:<BR/><BR/>The Huns are thought to have been a branch of a people the Chinese called the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiong_Nu" REL="nofollow">Xiong Nu.</A> The Great Wall of China was originally constructed to repel frequent incursions by the Xiong Nu* in northern China. It proved very effective and some of the Xiong Nu migrated west across the steppes in search of new territory to pillage. Eventually, Attila arrived on unguarded European frontier and, as we all know, the Roman Empire had no Great Wall. The rest is history.<BR/><BR/><BR/>* Many people mistakenly think it was the Mongols that were the problem. The Mongols under Genghis Khan don't appear in history until nearly a thousand years after the Xiong Nu. By that time, the frontiers of China had been pushed far to the north of the Wall, which was in disrepair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-15644449440375106012007-05-22T12:04:00.000-07:002007-05-22T12:04:00.000-07:00Yeah, I wish Mark, that not having to resort to dr...Yeah, I wish Mark, that not having to resort to drastic measures would work. Unfortunately, the American people were fooled into going to WAR because the President was able to convince everyone that every person in the world wants to be in a free, civilized society. <BR/><BR/>It's the same logic here. Unless someone brings up specific, BIOLOGICAL factors that hinder Latin American assimilation, people will continue to believe the same b.s. that all humans are the same and can be converted to the ideal citizens. <BR/><BR/>The crime, language, life issues don't work. The neocons think that everyone wants to and can act like Americans, because we're so great.

Maybe after seeing the problems of hispanics in the US (or being a crime victim of one), the magic work "IQ" will set off a light bulb and explain everything, helping them realize that mexicans make mexico, and we don't want to turn the US into Mexico (or any latin american country for that matter). <BR/><BR/>All we need is one person willing to sacrifice their favor in the media in order to get the real debate started on preventing a national disaster.TabooTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020654652967272753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13054466888217594772007-05-22T08:20:00.000-07:002007-05-22T08:20:00.000-07:00we are allowing people who have been in the United...<I>we are allowing people who have been in the United States for a relatively short amount of time and who may hold citizenship in their country of origin as well as the United States to have more say about whom we allow into this country than people whose ancestors fought and died in our wars, survived our tough economic times, built the United States into the world power that it is today, paid taxes for generations, and who owe allegiance to the United States alone.</I><BR/><BR/>These people are so big on the extended family model that, like the quote from the Korean that I posted yesterday, they'll reunify their damn families whether we want them to or not (<I>and we know in which direction that reunification will ALWAYS take place.)</I><BR/><BR/>And I have posted before about the fact that excessive immigration is basically an estate tax on the poor and middle class.
