Republican Immigration Fantasies

Republican Immigration Fantasies

In my previous post concerning immigration, entitled “Immigration and Conflict,” I quoted the thinly veiled threat of Fernando Torres-Gil, assistant secretary for aging in the Department of Health and Human Services:“The nation will be heavily dependent on workers from minority groups ‘for the productivity and labor skills and the political willingness to...

Cat Lady Logic

Cat Lady Logic

Obama’s speech in El Paso a few weeks ago began with a feel-good story about a graduation ceremony in Miami in which over 180 flags were marched across the stage – one for every nation that at least one student in the graduating class had invaded from. As each flag crossed the podium, that nation’s invaders cheered. “But then, the last flag, the American...

A Letter from a Grandfather to his Genes, Part 5 (Conclusion)

Read Part 1 here.Read Part 2 here.Read Part 3 here.Read Part 4 here.13. How do you explain the fact that a major football rivalry for Tunisians seems to be with other North Africans, Moroccans, rather than with people more distantly related?Because Morocco is there. Close by. That’s one answer. But this is a frequent phenomenon in sport and is essentially the same issue as in...

A Letter from a Grandfather to his Genes, Part 4

Read Part 1 here.Read Part 2 here.Read Part 3 here.11. Doesn’t the success of multiculturalism show that having the same ancestry is not necessary for a harmonious society as long as people do speak a common language? It depends on how much “harmony” you would settle for. To achieve the harmony of an ethnically homogeneous nation, you would need more than just a common...

A Letter from a Grandfather to his Genes, Part 3

Read Part 1 here.Read Part 2 here.6. How do we reach reciprocity from “might-makes-right”?The same way it was done in the Wild West. Try to introduce the “rule of law” (a form of reciprocity insofar as it results from social contract, not imposition) and hire good sheriffs who shoot straight—something never appreciated by the outlaws or by governments of powerful...

Jews & The American Conservative

I got an email this morning from a conservative reader. The headline was “Amconmag Goes Neocon.” It appears that someone has signed me up on a conservative email list. I don’t think the author will mind me sharing its contents:It’s officialRon Unz, the Jewish owner of the American Conservative, has become a mestizo apologist.American Conservative now reads like the neocon...

A Letter from a Grandfather to his Genes, Part 2

Read Part 1 here.3. Why aren’t the nearly 100 percent of our genes that everyone shares more important than those few that vary?Indeed, around 99.9 percent of all the genes that a human being carries can be found in all other humans, and 98 percent in chimpanzees. Similar percentages of shared genes are found in most other animal species. So obviously it’s the tiny handful of...

A Letter from a Grandfather to his Genes, Part 1

Editor’s Note: The following essay is a slightly revised version of one that appeared in print in The Occidental Quarterly, vol. 5, no. 1 (Spring 2005). For ease of online reading, it is presented here without notes, which can be found in the archived version of the print edition. I should, however, mention that Dr. Hilton’s argument is heavily indebted to Frank...

Don’t Eat the Strange Fruit

There has been some discussion on the Internet about the book Strange Fruit: Why Both Sides are Wrong in the Race Debate by South Asian intellectual Kenan Malik, a book in which the work of Frank Salter is sharply critiqued. Now, the person best suited to answer Malik is Salter himself; further, I don’t see Malik introducing any novel arguments beyond that already presented by...

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...
