A few nights ago, I was going through channels finding nothing on when I chanced upon C-Span 3 and a lecture titled “U.S. Refugee Policy Since World War II”. It was delivered by Maria Cristina Garcia, the daughter of Cuban “refugees”, and the author of “Seeking Refuge: Central American Migration to Mexico, the United States, and Canada”. The lecture was given at Cornell University, so, I knew it was going to be a completely biased rendition. I watched part of it that night, then finished it up the next day. I could only watch it in bits and pieces as it made my blood boil far too much.
Importantly, again, the interests of regular Americans were completely left out of the narrative. The interest of refugees or asylees getting to “safe” countries is always paramount in these types of propaganda pieces. Basically, they rely on the Magic Dirt theory. It is never asked why certain countries have Magic Dirt and others do not. Or, in liberal terms, why some countries are “Safe” and others not.
As I was taught about interviewing suspects, what they are thinking about on a daily basis will eventually come out. Serial killers often start torturing animals at a young age, then work their way up the chain towards humans. Thieves are often thinking of ways of cutting corners and getting ahead every chance they can. Hence, a country or a culture is a reflection of what its inhabitants are thinking and acting upon.
If dog breeds have different temperaments, why would we not expect the same to be true of humans and other species? If you take some people and dump them on the south side of the equator, you get countries like New Zealand and Australia. If you dump some people in North America, you get countries like the United States and Canada. Dump them on an island and you might get Bermuda, Haiti or Jamaica. It’s the reality. It stems from a combination of nature and nurture, but the nature led to the style of nurture. It springs from the inner thoughts outward.
Liberal history professor Garcia does not see this. She only sees America as a land of unlimited Magic Dirt that can take in millions of foreigners. She is utterly selfish in championing herself and her kind against the Heritage Americans. In fact, in her lecture, she does not really mention the interests of Heritage Americans at all. We are non-human beings to her and people like her.
In the wake of the Great Depression and then World War II, many Americans were deeply skeptical of letting in thousands and thousands of refugees. They had good reason! They didn’t know they were sitting on Magic Dirt. I’ve read World War II veterans accounts and many of them grew up very poor by our standards in the 1920s.
The Wall Street boom didn’t translate to middle America back then either. Then, the Great Depression hit. Getting food in their bellies became difficult. Then came World War II with its agon and suffering. Finally, by the 1950s things were getting better, but they didn’t know the boom in the economy would last. They had a vested interest in keeping foreigners out.
Instead, Cuban Professor Garcia focuses on how the refugees have to get to the “safe” Magic Dirt countries, leaving out that their Tragic Dirt countries were their own fault.
Above is one of Garcia’s slides showing the Tragic Dirt populaces invasion of the lands of Magic Dirt.
Below are the top 10 Nations for resettling refugees. Gee Alex, I can’t put my finger on it, but all those countries seem to have something in common. I wish I could figure it out. As Garcia puts it in her lecture, “The US is among the 10 countries that carry out resettlement programs with the United Nations” (about at minute 42).
Garcia’s whole focus is that America needs to allow in more refugees, it’s only a “drop in the bucket” according to her. She is completely selfish in wanting more of her kind to invade the U.S., and she cares zero for regular Americans who have built the Magic Dirt the rest of the world longs for.
The same could be said to be true of many of the opponents that Peter Brimelow argued with. They are utterly selfish in wanting their demands to be fulfilled and care nothing for those whose ancestors actually worked to build America what it is today (and is rapidly unraveling).
