“Why we on the Left made an epic mistake on immigration”

“Why we on the Left made an epic mistake on immigration”. A UK liberal has second thoughts about immigration: “…the race lobby have been slow to recognise that strong collective identities are legitimate for majorities as well as minorities, for white as well as for black people. For a democratic state to have any meaning, it must ‘belong’ to existing citizens. They must have special rights over non-citizens. Immigration must be managed with their interests in mind. But it has not been.”

  • I was hoping that headline was a quote by a leader in the Democrat party, but I should have known better.

  • I saw an interview with John Cleese a while ago wherein he was lamenting that "London doesn't even look English anymore."

    Gosh, John, maybe that's because idiot libs like you shouted "Racism!" every time someone said, "Let's not turn into a Muslim country."

  • It wasn't a "mistake" until people started calling them to account for it. The accounting has yet to occur in the US. My question has always been, just exactly WHO got to vote to allow the borders to remain open?

    Immigration without representation. Revolts have been started for that kind of thing.
