Seems there was a politician there in the U.K. who envisioned something like this back around 1968...

An interesting speech Very Happy

1) I remember politicians justifying immigrants in the country as people who would do the low and dirty jobs while 'we' took our ease in the better ones. Some of my classmates made presentations with this idea at school, teacher said not a word about it.

2) Governments better find a way to make immigration and intergration work...or else all HELL will break loose and control will slip away...

Top detective blasts 'culture of silence' that allows Asian sex gangs to groom white girls... because police and social services fear being branded racist

Police and social services have been accused of fuelling a culture of silence which has allowed hundreds of young white girls to be exploited by Asian men for sex.

Agencies have identified a long-term pattern of offending by gangs of men, predominantly from the British Pakistani community, who have befriended and abused hundreds of vulnerable girls aged 11 to 16.

Experts claim the statistics represent a mere fraction of a 'tidal wave' of offending in counties across the Midlands and the north of England which has been going on for more than a decade.

A senior officer at West Mercia police has called for an end to the 'damaging taboo' connecting on-street grooming with race.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Edwards said: 'These girls are being passed around and used as meat.

'To stop this type of crime you need to start everyone talking about it but everyone's been too scared to address the ethnicity factor.

'No one wants to stand up and say that Pakistani guys in some parts of the country are recruiting young white girls and passing them around their relatives for sex, but we need to stop being worried about the racial complication.'

In a briefing paper, researchers at University College London's Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science concurred that victims were typically white girls while 'most central offenders are Pakistani'.

The offenders were not viewed as paedophiles but had picked the girls 'because of their malleability'.

The report concluded that 'race is a delicate issue' that should be 'handled sensitively but not brushed under the carpet'.

The grooming usually begins with older groups of men befriending girls aged from 11 to 16 they meet on the street.

Almost seems as if this was all lifted almost word-for-word from the final chapters of Raspail's Camp of the Saints, don't it?

A country like America, which is both an immigrant nation and is faced with an almost unstoppable flow of immigrants due to its huge borders and location, probably has to find a way to make immigration and integration work. A country like England, on the other hand, really doesn't need to. The logistics of putting a stop to immigration from low-compatibility cultures really isn't that difficult from their position, and it's ethically justifiable too. The challenge for them is primarily political.

America's immigrants (from a macro point of view) are quite different in certain obvious ways, as well.

(...not that you didn't know that.)

I"ll go out on a limb and say that I would prefer a primarily Latino-based U.S. immigrant invasion as opposed to an Islamic one.

I totally agree. Unfortunately there are far too many of the left-wing faction who will cry racism, discrimination and hate-politics at the mere mention of logistics.

Diversity is not a bad thing, but why should we be afraid to criticise its obvious shortcomings?
