* Does Bret Stephens really believe Jewish immigrants are 100% comparable with Haitian immigrants? In Haiti people eat cookies that are made out of mud and sand because that’s how extremely poor they are. Were Jews in Germany, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, etc eating sand mud cookies? No they weren’t. Not even Mexicans eat sand mud cookies let alone Jews and Mexicans are a lot less affluent than Jews. It’s apples and oranges. Apples and apples would be comparing Somali immigrants with Haitian immigrants.
* If we don’t allow in Haitians, what, in terms of enterprise, genius, imagination, and philanthropy will be lost to America as a country? My guess? Not much.
* How much you want to bet that middle-class Jews in suburbia (as opposed to Manhattan NYT readers) quietly wish that Stephens would just shut the @#$& up?
* I’ve had a Jewish boss before, but never a Haitian boss and I doubt I ever will. Haitians are not an economic boom for The U.S and that’s a fact. Haitians are not creating a shitload of jobs for Americans.
* You will never hear any people but Jews boasting to each other about how many passports they have and how many more they can get if need be. Ostensibly this is to escape a new holocaust, but it just so happens to be very convenient for intelligence work. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence, because it’s not like Jews were ever caught using the passports of neutral countries to set up an assassination or anything.
* And then we continued to ban Jewish immigration thereafter?
It would mean an enormous difference for America.
Imagine a communist movement in the US that was of only negligible importance.
Imagine university faculty not ranged in hostility against America, whites and Christianity. Cultural marxist movements would have had far less influence in the US.
Imagine a Hollywood that was not consumed with hatred of traditional America and white gentiles.
Imagine no Alinsky. And no New Left – the leadership of the New Left was dominated by Jews. The social upheavals of the 1960s would have been far different and a lot less damaging to American society.
No NAACP – the Jewish effort to supplant the Black Christian church as the political leadership of blacks would never have happened. Race relations in the US would be much better off without the Jewish-dominated media constantly pushing narratives such as Ferguson, Trayvon, Freddie Gray, etc. for the purpose of inciting hatred against whites and stoking racial discord.
No 1965 immigration act – instead of increasing balkanization, tribalism and Third World populations, there would be much greater assimilation and unity.
Imagine what schools curricula would be like without the influence of Howard Zinn and other Jews pushing anti-American themes in the schools.
The victories of the radical left in constitutional law, feminism, environmentalism and many other areas would be greatly reduced.
And on and on. Really, the influence of Jews is so large in so many areas of American society it’s hard to imagine what the US would be like today without the wave of Eastern European Jews and their concomitant social radicalism, anti-Americanism and grievance agenda against white gentiles.
* I’m not sure if its even what was good for our ancestors. Sure we’d probably have a few less things (though European man has been pretty spectacular at creativity and innovation, so it’s doubtful it would be that drastic), but what have we gotten in return? The 1965 immigration bill, the current dispossession of our country, genocide and scapegoating our people? If the choice is living in Mayberry or in what is shaping up to be something like South Africa, I’m choosing Mayberry.
* The balance of positive and negative contributions is hard to estimate accurately but it comes down to this: Jews’ many contributions to science and technology would have been closely matched by non-Jews filling the same positions in businesses and universities. At the worst, there would be a delay here and three. On the other hand, Jewish contributions to the leftist/progressive/communist/anti-white agenda would be unlikely to be matched on a large scale. Without the permanent leftist revolution, the US would not have gone through the demographic transformation.
* “The most heartfelt articles by Jewish journalists tend to be demands that things be handled in such a way that benefit or would have benefited the writer or his ancestors.”
* It’s interesting how Stephens is living in a liberal American city and not Israel. This crap probably wouldn’t go down well there. The Israeli’s aren’t just worried about an influx of non-Jews, they’re also worried about an influx of Jewish refugees from Europe, hence their concerns about Islamic immigration into Europe. Israel is very crowded place and they don’t even have enough space for their own kind, left alone non-Jews.
