Stop Paying Them!

With the latest riots throughout Europe, there is much talk of how to handle the issue of migrants who are not assimilating.  The pundits all explain how there are too many people to even consider deporting.  It is far beyond that as an option.  They are here to stay and a solution based on that must be found.  Then the discussion moves to the cost of housing and supporting these migrants - both legal and illegal - at government expense and how unsustainable it is.  Let's follow that for a moment.  The government is paying the expenses of these migrants.  The government is renting rooms at hotels and providing food and medical care for people who are mostly unemployed.  What if you stopped paying for them?

One of the main reasons that migrants travel through multiple European countries until they reach England is because England has the most generous welfare benefits of all the European countries.  They are coming for the handout.  Stop paying them to come and they will not only stop coming, but those already there will migrate to the next most generous country.  You keep pouring sugar on the counter and can't figure out why there are ants.  The solution is simple and obvious.  That they are not even considering it tells you that they do not want to solve the problem.

Europe has subsidized immigration for decades and - now that they are overrun - cannot figure out how to reverse the problem.  Try subsidizing remigration and taxing migration.  At the very least, stop paying them.

Une Demonstration Pratique

The current riots that are tearing France apart make for an excellent, though tragic, object lesson for other Western nations.  The rioters are clearly from Africa and the Middle East.  They may be second or third generation immigrants, but they have not become French.  Without assimilation, immigration is just a means of Balkanizing a country.  As the saying goes, "Import the third world, become the third world."  Any immigration must always be very gradual and demand assimilation.  If assimilation is impossible, then such immigrants should be turned away.  For example, Muslims cannot assimilate without leaving Islam.  Now, a country can survive a small number of Muslims, but there comes a point when the Muslims will seek to overthrow the existing order and install Sharia.  That is its nature.  By the same logic, a communist will use the freedom of a host country to undermine those very freedoms.  Much of Europe has flung open the borders to immigrants who will inevitably seek to destroy Europe.  Gad Saad calls this suicidal empathy.  Let in the downtrodden, out of compassion, and become conquered when the number of downtrodden reach critical mass.

France may have a new Napoleon soon.  One of the early appearances of Napoleon was when he put down a riot by firing cannon at the rioters.  The government was quite grateful.  I suspect there are a lot of French - the real ones, not these imports - who would appreciate a man like Napoleon today.  And that is truly tragic.  It takes catastrophes like this to create dictators.

French Revolution: 2026

France is in flames.  Rioters are driving the police from the streets, looting & destroying shops, and burning down buildings.  The video, readily available on YouTube or Rumble, is tragic.  What began as a student protest has expanded.  It is hard not to notice how many of these protesters do not look French.  The importation of foreigners from the 3rd World has created a large enough population that the takeover shall commence.  Europe is long overdue for the Riot Act.

Reading the Riot Act was quite literal.  In the UK, the Riot Act was passed.  When the subjects got unruly, the sheriff or other court officer would read the Riot Act.  If the offenders did not disperse, deadly force could be used to force dispersal.

Looking at some of the video, some protesters are throwing heavy objects at the police.  That is clearly assault with a deadly weapon.  What are the French Police doing?  Withdrawing.  Oh, that should do the trick.

Lose-Lose Situation

Tucker Carlson recently blasted President Trump's lack of action against the widespread unrest throughout the country.  He announced that President Obama would never have allowed things to get this bad.  The National Guard or even the 101st Airborne would have long since retaken the CHAZ and stamped out the riots in various cities.  I generally like that plan.  I'm all for peaceful protests but when they transform into lawless bands of looters and vandals, it's time to read the riot act.  But let's take it to the next step.

Suppose the national guard or the military is deployed to end the riots and stamp out the autonomous zone.  How will that be reported in the media?  Will the president get praise for returning law & order to the cities and protecting the property of private citizens?  Unlikely.  Will the president be denounced as an authoritarian who stomped on the rights of black Americans to protest police brutality?  Oh yeah!  Big time!  If Trump does nothing, he is a weakling in a time of crisis but if he does something, he provides the evidence for the old claims that he is a fascist.  That is how it will be reported.  It is lose-lose.

What to do?  Trump's initial efforts have been to demand that the mayors and governors of these various cities and states take action.  Governor Jay Inslee has the authority to call up the national guard and deploy it to reassert control of CHAZ.  He has declined to do so despite Trump's emphatic prompting.  By pointing out that the local authorities (all Democrats) who have the authority to put down the riots are doing nothing, the president is blame-shifting.  Is it blame-shifting?  Shouldn't the first group to respond to a local riot be the local police?  If that isn't enough, request state assistance.  If that still isn't enough, call upon the federal government.  Yes, that would be federalism.  Trump has further offered to help, if requested.  No requests.  The locals will neither put down the riots themselves nor will they accept some responsibility by requesting federal aid.  Hmm.  This sounds like a setup.

The people of Seattle voted for the government that is more or less cheerleading for the CHAZ/CHOP.  Elections have consequences.  Minneapolis has a Democrat mayor, a Democrat city counsel, all Democrat Congressional Representatives (Ilhan Omar among them), 2 Democrat senators, a Democrat Attorney General, and a Democrat Governor.  Obviously, the Republican President is the problem.

Sadly, this is all about an election year.  How will a crackdown impact the November election?  More importantly, how will a crackdown be reported?  Trump thinks that he is better off letting blue cities and states burn.  Further, he hopes that blue politicians suffer in the polls and he's going to run ads putting the blame on them.  By contrast, it will be hard for those blue politicians to blame Trump for not taking actions that they refused to take themselves.

Whichever side you are on, we have the worst political class in my life.  Political maneuvering is more important that doing their jobs.  Tragic.
