In an interview with NPR last Friday, Trump's chief of staff John Kelly
described the illegal aliens pouring across our border in the most gentle
manner imaginable.
He said that illegal aliens aren't "bad people," but also "not people that
would easily assimilate into the United States into our modern society."
They are, he continued, mostly rural, poor, unskilled and illiterate. "They
don't speak English," Kelly said. "Obviously, that's a big thing."
Kelly violated the civic religion of treating every non-American as better
than an American - a potential valedictorian, Medal of Honor winner and
Nobel Prize recipient. Naturally, he was called a "racist."
So what was the point? You're going to be called a "racist" no matter what
you say, so why not be honest: Illegals are self-entitled law-breakers and
thieves, stealing jobs and government benefits meant for our own people.
Our cliche-driven media huffed and puffed about Kelly's presumed descent
from immigrants.
CNN's Don Lemon said, "But like most Americans, Kelly comes from a family of
immigrants, doesn't he?"
If you'd read "Adios, America!" Don, you'd know this is PC nonsense. As late
as 1990 - a quarter-century into Teddy Kennedy's plan to remake our nation
into a Third World hellhole - half of the population traced its roots to the
Americans of 1790. We're a real country, made up of the people who created
it, much like other countries.
There were Irish here at the time of our founding who fought in the
Revolutionary War. I'm related to one.
CNN's John Berman said: "(I)f I remember my high school American history -
and I do - America in the midst of the 19th century and the beginning of the
20th century was built on immigrants."
It's as if nothing happened in America until 1850 - no Jamestown, no
Declaration of Independence, no Constitution, no creation of a brand-new
civilization out of mud.
Long before America experienced its first immigrant wave in the 19th
century, this was already a wildly successful country - rich, literate and
free (with one glaring exception, soon to be corrected in the only war ever
fought to end slavery). We'd won a war with Great Britain, conquered the
West, and invented electricity, refrigeration, suspension bridges and a
democratic republic.
Twitter lit up in response to Kelly's inoffensive remarks, with idiots
pointing out that THE SAME THING WAS ONCE SAID ABOUT THE IRISH!
Yes, and the people who said it were right. Let's not sugarcoat what
wonderful immigrants the Irish were.
All immigrants have been a problem in their own way. Italian immigrants
brought us organized crime, something America had never experienced before.
Jewish immigrants brought us radicals, communists and anarchists, setting
off bombs all over the place. Irish immigrants brought poverty and shocking
levels of crime - also William Brennan and Teddy Kennedy, the two men who
did more than any others to wreck our country.
In the draft riots of 1863, New York City's Irish exploded in feral violence
over the Emancipation Proclamation, fearful that they would soon have to
compete with freed blacks for jobs.
The Irish ran wild, lynching blacks and burning black establishments to the
ground. As described in Leslie M. Harris' book "In the Shadow of Slavery:
African Americans in New York City, 1626-1863," the Irish rioters "made a
sport of mutilating the black men's bodies, sometimes sexually. A group of
white men and boys mortally attacked black sailor William Williams - jumping
on his chest, plunging a knife into him, smashing his body with stones -
while a crowd of men, women and children watched."
Luckily for the Irish, there were no ethnic activist groups leaping in to
excuse their bad behavior. President Lincoln sent in federal troops to crush
the savage uprising. (Hey, President Trump! Lincoln is a very popular
president!)
And these were European immigrants, most of whom spoke English, contrary to
the claptrap you've heard in reaction to Kelly's remark this past week.
Today we're getting peasants who not only don't speak English, they don't
even speak Spanish and are also illiterate in their own dialects.
The Irish were driven out of their country by a one-time calamity - the
potato famine. This wasn't how they always lived. Starving poverty wasn't
their culture.
Still, the Irish were - at one time - among the poorest immigrants we ever
got and the slowest to assimilate. It took 120 years, by political analyst
Michael Barone's estimate. (Imagine a time when our worst immigrants were
the Irish!)
And they might still be a problem if The New York Times had demanded special
rights for them, the ACLU had brought lawsuits on their behalf and the
Southern Poverty Law Center had screamed "racism" whenever anyone noticed
their bad behavior.
Instead, no-nonsense Irish priests knocked them upside the head and told
them to sober up and go home to their wives. (Back then, the Catholic Church
was not about "immigrant rights"; it was about cleaning up their own bums.)
By the 1950s, the Irish were outearning other Americans. Many reformed so
well that they became Republicans.
That was then, this is now.

Budi covjek to je dika

Nedaj na se, nedaj svoje
Nemoj tude, prokleto je
Jer ko zivot tako prode
Ponosan pred Boga dode

Uvijek moras znati tko si, hej
Geni, geni kameni
Vatra gori u meni
