The abiding dream of all nationalist’ is to close our borders, kick out illegal immigrants, stop giving benefits and council houses to asylum seekers and give incentives to legal immigrants to go back to their home countries.
Will anyone from the mainstream media support those policies? No of course not!
We know the answer to immigration, and apparently it is dawning on some liberal journalists in the USA at last!
This is why I decided to present for nationalists’ delectation and delight a commentary published in ‘The Bulletin’, a Philadelphia based newspaper.
The author of this piece Jim Wiles, is robust in his hatred of the British National Party, but in his article he shows his thinking is in line with the policies of his target of scorn; it contains a lot of common sense, such common sense as would be unthinkable in the UK MSM.

Have you noticed the Mexicans are going home? Some are trying to tough it out – and apparently even asking for help from home, but the trend line in illegal immigration to the United States is definitely down.
It’s particularly noticeable here on the Redneck Riviera. In 2005 – 2006, the Grand Strand was one of the four fastest-growing areas in the country.
Illegal immigrants swarmed on construction sites and in all sorts of outdoor work. Food carts and local Mexican restaurants offered regional specialties. Lowes and McDonald’s had bilingual signs. The old day laborer market for local African Americans had disappeared, replaced by Hispanics.
One night, pulling out of the Food Lion two blocks from my parents’ house, I saw a scary sight: a Mexican mom, baby in one hand, handlebar in the other, pushing out into rush hour traffic to take the groceries — safely strapped into the baby seat — home. I followed her, running interference with my car, until she’d turned safely into her driveway.
She didn’t have a hand free to wave. But her smile lit up the night.
That was then. With the bursting of the boom, she’s gone. So’s the day laborer market. Gone, too, this summer, were the armies of Eastern European students who had worked here the previous two years in the hospitality and retail industries.
The current economic debacle, thus, contains within it at least one pearl: a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rectify our illegal immigration problem in a humane way.
In this 24-hour news cycle, we seem able only to focus on one story at a time. Yet, the illegal immigration story has not gone away. It’s still right there, festering.
This is important because illegal immigration is one of those “intractable” problems, which is destroying the legitimacy of America’s government. It’s not intractable. Our rulers, whatever their party, simply don’t want to stop illegal immigration.
A majority of the American people disagree – strongly. Today, with 10 percent unemployment, that disagreement is stronger than ever.
This gap between voters and their elected representatives exists in far worse form in Europe. One example is the European Union (E.U.) itself, opposed by most voters, but implemented anyway.
The most recent example is the Swiss referendum held two weeks ago. Fifty seven percent of Swiss voters supported a ban on construction of new minarets. The response of political leaders across Western Europe? To condemn this expression of the popular will and to fervently hope that the European Human Rights Court will strike it down.
In today’s Western Europe, nationalism has become the virtue, which dare not speak its name.
The Swiss vote came on the heels of the revelation that the wave of Muslim and other non-white immigration into the United Kingdom since the coming of Tony Blair and the Labor Party to power in 1997 was not, as most had thought, the result of government incompetence. It was a deliberate policy. The Laborites sought to change the U.K.’s racial and religious complexion to help achieve their goal of de-constructing British society.
Even with that bombshell, British Conservatives won’t touch immigration. So, is it any wonder, then, that some voters are turning to the neo-fascist British National Party, which promises to “guarantee that Britain remains British?” As I’ve noted here before, the re-emergence of such parties in Europe is the direct result of elected leaders repeatedly overriding the voters’ wishes.
Here, in the U.S., happily, we have the opposite of voter apathy: a full blown, populist rebellion. But, in all of the hullabaloo, the illegal immigration issue has, so far, gotten dropped by the wayside.
It’s clear that, like Britain’s Labor Party, the Obama Democrats view illegal immigration as in their political interest. Why else the repeated trumpeting this year that conservatives are going to end up on the ash heap of history because America’s demographic makeup is changing? And yet, like the Tories, the GOP is gun-shy about the illegal immigration issue.
In Italy, the government is offering money to illegal immigrants willing to be returned to their countries of origin.
Something like that might be a modest, first step towards tackling America’s illegal immigration problem. It would also immediately begin making private sector jobs available to unemployed Americans. According to recent press reports, it’s not just Hispanics anymore down at the day laborer line at Home Depot and Lowes.
They are people you and I know.
