The Jews & Immigration
A point in favor of the philo-Semites emerged this morning. In light of my pledge of fairness, I felt compelled to report it. Jewish attitudes toward immigration are more complex than White Nationalists have imagined. If the CIS/Zogby data is accurate, the typical Jew is at odds with the Jewish leadership on immigration.
- 61% of Jews do not believe legal immigration should be increased or that illegal aliens should be given a path to citizenship. 16% of Jews support amnesty and increasing legal immigration.
- 69% of Catholics do not believe legal immigration should be increased or that illegal aliens should be given a path to citizenship. 12% of Catholics support amnesty and increasing legal immigration.
- 75% of Evangelical Protestants do not believe legal immigration should be increased or that illegal aliens should be given a path to citizenship. 7% of Evangelical Protestants support amnesty and increasing legal immigration.
- 73% of mainline Protestants do not believe legal immigration should be increased or that illegal aliens should be given a path to citizenship. 10% of mainline Protestants support amnesty and increasing legal immigration.
- 50% of Jews believe the total number of immigrants is “too high,” 22% believe it is “just right,” 5% believe it is “too low,” and 23% are “not sure.”
- 69% of Catholics believe the total number of immigrants is “too high,” 14% believe it is “just right,” 4% believe it is “too low,” and 14% of “not sure.”
- 72% of mainline Protestants believe the total number of immigrants is “too high,” 11% believe it is “just right,” and 2% believe it is “too low.”
- 78% of Evangelical Protestants believe the total number of immigrants is “too high,” 9% believe it is “just right,” and 3% believe it is “too low,” and 10% are “not sure.”
There is a lot of meat in this study. Several more questions were asked. The overall picture that emerges is that Jews are more likely to support amnesty and immigration than other religious groups, but the Jewish rank-and-file (like Protestants, Evangelicals and Catholics) is at odds with the Jewish leadership on immigration. Most American Jews do not seem to support the inundation of the United States by third world immigrants.
From Antisemitica, December 31, 2009
Any group, is defined by its leaders. The jewish rank and file may come in many different camps, but they don’t reject, or even criticise, what their leaders do, in general. And the same goes for Christians. Both groups are an obstacle to White Nationalism.
Interesting, but if you actually look at the discussion section of the report, it’s fairly safe to say that the Jewish population are at odds with the rest of the American populace. If one were to perform a statistical analysis of significance, I think this observation would be confirmed. Figure 3 is a graphical example of this, but a review of the responses to all the questions illustrates that even when Jews exhibit tendencies compliant with “flyover country,” they are still statistically divergent and consistently more pro-immigrant and anti-native than any other group.
But it does have to be acknowledged that the problem for us all is the divergence between the proles and those in power. Ignoring the Jews for a moment, our country would benefit greatly if main-line Christians agitated within their respective churches and got the irrationally left-leaning upper strata within these denominations culled out. The activism of the Lutheran church in supporting liberal immigration policies is a prime example.
Thanks for this Hunter,
By bringing this to my attention, you helped me to greatly enhance an article I wrote for The Occidental Observer Blog entitled “How Pro-Life Are White Evangelicals?”
