The Answer Is Always More

One of the more entertaining bits of black humor on Steve Sailer’s blog are the stories he posts about how every problem can be solved with more immigration. No matter the problem, someone will have a reason why the solution to it is more immigration. It’s as if our elites have a bizarre form of Tourette’s, where any stimulation causes them to blurt out lines from Emma Lazarus. When the lunacy of their claims is pointed out, the response is usually just a blank stare, suggesting their enthusiasm for open borders is involuntary.

The reason for this is the people championing open borders are not working from a set of facts, or arguments from those facts. Sure, the indentured servant lobbies are thinking in economic terms. The refugee lobbies want the money spigot to remain open, but these are relatively small influences on public debate. The vast majority of people championing open borders have no monetary incentives. They are doing it because they view the issue in purely moral terms. They are pro-immigrant in the same way normal people are pro-life.

Among the cognitive elites, there is a strong social incentive for embracing ever more extreme positions on the popular fads of the moment. It’s how we went so quickly from tolerating homosexuals to embracing mentally disturbed men in sundresses. Similarly, it is how miscegenation went from casual outlier to the only acceptable form of mating. When it comes to immigration, the furthest possible extreme is open borders, so the game is to come up with ever more creative ways of justifying it.

When looking at it in moral terms, it helps explain why both types of Progressive have gone berserk on the issue of immigration. Fundamentally, the so-called Left and the so-called Right share the same moral framework. Both sides of Progressivism embrace an intolerant, smothering set of universal principles rooted in the blank slate. All people everywhere are the same and interchangeable. As Senator Lindsey Graham would put it, people don’t exist as flesh and blood beings, but rather as ideals.

Anyway, it is good to keep that in mind when seeing so-called conservatives make their pitch for open borders. This piece in the hilariously misnamed American Conservative is a a rather bizarre attempt to justify redefining temporary to mean permanent.

That’s why this recent decision will be particularly advantageous for MS-13. Realistically, the federal government will be unable to enforce this immigration policy. Likewise, the vast majority of the 200,000 Salvadorans are unlikely to voluntarily leave. Instead, they’ll live in the shadows as prey for MS-13.

Trump has masterfully used MS-13 as a straw man in the immigration debate. The constant references to this glorified street gang leave the impression that most illegal immigrants are violent felons. It is a particularly artful tactic, given that 80 percent of voters believe that illegal immigrants convicted of a felony should be deported.

However, the vast majority of the 200,000 Salvadorans aren’t violent criminals. Although Hurricane Mitch is listed as their official reason for refugee status, the reality is that a high percentage of these people fled to the U.S. to escape violence in El Salvador.

Those who do return will be much more vulnerable back in El Salvador where MS-13 and their rival, Barrio 18, control large swaths of the country. In turn, assets these immigrants acquired while working in the U.S. will eventually be appropriated by these gangs.

There is a common misconception that a “weak immigration policy” led to the rise of MS-13. In fact, it was the aggressive deportation policy of the Clinton administration that transformed MS-13 into a transnational criminal organization.

You see how this works?

Enforcing the law creates more criminals. This sort of sophistry that has become common, because there is no rational argument in favor of open borders. As Americans have become familiar with the facts, the open borders people are left with mendacity as their only option. Coming up with the most extreme justifications inevitably leads to defending the indefensible, not on merit, but as a form of virtue signalling. Demanding easy access to Americans by bloodthirsty criminal gangs is extreme in the extreme.

This quest for the most virtuous position on the immigration topic answers the question posed in this post by Sailer. If all people are the same, that we’re just interchangeable meat sticks, there can be no moral justification for inequality and diversity. Our elites see diversity as the result of some evil force. Nothing can be too extreme when combating evil. More important, one cannot be seen by his coevals as beyond the pale when he is engaged in combating evil. The crazier the better when it comes fanatics.

It’s also why appeals to reason never work with these people. We are ruled over by fanatics, convinced that anything worth doing is worth overdoing. They are like addicts seeking a high more intense than the one before it. You don’t talk an addict out of his blind quest for the ultimate high. He has to find that limit on his own. That usually means dying in a pool of his own vomit. That’s most likely the fate of our rulers. They will realize they have gone too far just as the trap door snaps open and they begin the drop.

That, and the fact that both varieties of Progressives (love that) are convinced above all that they are Smart, and to be Smart simply IS to embrace counter-intuitive conclusions, the weirder the better. They’re trained to do this in college, where the fastest way to an A in the Liberal Arts (and they never take STEM classes unless required) is to turn some established fact on its head. E.g. George Washington may have been the commanding general at Yorktown, but it was really his disabled lesbian Wymyn of Color seamstress who deserves all the credit, because reasons.

Hmmm. GOP stands for… Greedy Old Progressives? Or do the Democrats’ leaders have too firm a lock on that description to share it with Republicans?

RE STEM, That’s a crock of shit. The hard sciences, including biology, are a foundation if you are going to work in the stem fields. Even if you never again need to know the Krebs Cycle, at least you have had a glimpse of some underlying reality. Logic is useful, but theology? Maybe things have changed, but my education involved wide exposure to the humanities as well as the subjects related to my profession at the time.

Can’t really do organic/biochem without an intuitive grounding in logic/geometry. Even better if you can visualise in 3-D in your head. The notion that it is memorization probably came from the fact that Bozo was taking kindergarten level.

Rote memorization is the wrong way to do O Chem. Less effective than learning the underlying principles, yet requires far more work. It’s bizarre how most students use the rote memorization technique.

STEM majors regurgitating claims from fat textbooks have given us the transistor, vaccines, antibiotics, GPS, machine learning, hydraulic fracturing, the internet, and probably even a few other things.

High verbal IQ (((Narrative))) vs high visuospatial IQ (engines, Apollo moon shots).

Priest-politicians directing engineers.
Turns out the hi-verbal types are often crap at 3D modeling or handy skills.

Hi-verbal also seem good at the core Dark Triad traits, prized by female thinking: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy.

Dominance displays and social signalling rather than working IQ. Prevalent in an urban services economy.

Did STEM mainly because I knew I couldn’t get screwed out of grades because of subjectivity. Was the pathway to good works. Now reading theology and philosophy for fun. Easy to see now that my decision school-wise was sound.

One other thing: any organic chem class at the 200 level is probably a nursing class. You didn’t really take organic, but some Mickey Mouse version similar to what one would get in a large high school.

Their number one ruling principle is non-discrimination. I have a neighbor who is Christian, talks about God and Jesus constantly, and unlike most, has a good understanding of Islam, including the religion’s justification of violence. After discussing Islamic immigration into Europe, and the resulting rapes, murders, their war waged against Christians, etc, I shared my opinion that we need to stop importing Muslims into the West. He looked at me with a shocked look, and said, “We can’t go that far.” Even though he’s Christian, the religion of non-discrimination trumps everything.

An obvious fraud—similar to Mormonism, in fact, and as any counterfeit is inferior to the original you obviously can’t make a valid claim that it is in any way “superior” to Christianity.

I’d like to clear something up. Trinitarianism isn’t a positive invention of conservative ancients. It was invented in response to heresy. Sure, the word appears nowhere in the Bible. The reason it was invented was that without it Arianism would have ended up as dogma, and that would have been a more handicapped vision of the world than otherwise. The trinity was the best thing they could come up with in response.

If Arius hadn’t been such an asshole we would not likely have ever heard the word “trinity”.
