The place is so crappy that England, France and Italy had to split it up when they couldn’t even con the Czar into taking it over.

@huxley: An interesting essay about tribalism from Sarah Hoyt. In my case, instead of my merging into my husband’s tribe (Croatian immigrants), it’s been probably 75% his merging into mine (Anglo-American). His parents didn’t speak Croatian to the kids because they wanted them to be American. This was common among immigrants from the first half of the twentieth century. They kept the food but otherwise consciously tried to merge.

Leftist efforts to make Americans into several large mutually distrustful “tribes” is a recipe for disaster, as we are seeing.

Lutherans (ELCA), Catholic Charities, and Episcopalians have all been heavily involved in supporting “migrants” with government money. To the great amusement of those who left the Episcopal Church, its charity recently closed up shop rather than assist white refugees from South Africa.

The problem with taking in Africans and Muslims is that there is always a higher allegiance than the US. With Africans it’s the tribe, with Islam it’s their non existent god, and, murderous theology. For Minnesota DFL politicians, as with all progs, destroy the political structure and culture to ensure winning,

Selfy —
“If the question wasn’t rhetorical, the answer is to not allow immigration from countries whose cultures have a consistent problem with tribalized corruption.”

I agree. Though of course that would be demonized as raaacist. And judgemental … lol. What a concept. We need more moral judgments made, overall.
American, not tribal.
I’d like much less chain migration, too.

Indeed. And how would one vet for that?

Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago said “If a man can’t put his arms around his sons and help them, then what’s the world coming to?”

I think this was in response to accusations of nepotism.

… IF we even vet immigrants anymore.
I truly despair thinking how much trouble the influx of those kind have changed many parts of America.
I’ve had some bad experiences lately* in certain franchise retail stores that made me more “culturist” than ever.
(Am referring to the employees & owners’ behavior.)

Lutheran charities were / are?? making the most off “refugee resettlement” just like Catholic charities, NGO’s, etc.
It didn’t seem that being an example of fiscal responsibility with government payments was important, the last many years.
Open borders made such groups especially wealthy.
Kinda like the Cartels!
Which reminds me of the recent good news that Trump is going after them, as much as possible.
He even labeled them terrorists, didn’t he?
