Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: America Is Full. Time To Close The Door. When you’re talking about any political issue — whether it’s about immigration or foreign policy or anything else — one of the hardest things to do is step back and recognize how the debate has been framed. This is the part of the conversation that takes place before you get involved. The Overton Window is set. Mainstream national news sources, politicians and various activist groups all work together to set the acceptable boundaries of dialogue. And they’re very good at it. You often don’t even realize what they’re doing. Or at least, you often don’t realize what they’re doing until some kind of catastrophic event takes place — the kind of event that makes their manipulation too obvious to ignore. At this point, it’s safe to say that the very sudden descent of Los Angeles into anarchy — or at least further anarchy — is one of those kinds of events. In particular, it’s the kind of domestic disaster that suggests it’s time to re-assess how the debate over foreign migration has been framed over the past few decades. After all, neither political party warned us that U.S. immigration policy would turn major American cities into warzones in the span of just a couple of generations. That wasn’t on the menu of possible outcomes that we were ever presented with. Instead, the people in charge were careful to silence any dissenters, like Pat Buchanan. They were cast out as crazies, not to be trusted. And now, after all these years, we’re finally seeing undeniable proof that, actually, people like Pat Buchanan were right about immigration policy all along. Our leaders were either inept, or they were deliberately trying to destroy the United States. In either case, their framing is no longer relevant. Therefore, it’s time for a new way of looking at foreign migration. Poster Comment: Mexico wants its territory back. (Years ago bumper stickers saying "F U. This is Mexico" were seen all over LA) Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
