The intrepid Professors Paul Gottfried writes the following in response to “La-Raza Libertarians“:
May Heaven bless you for raising these politically incorrect issues! Right now I’m looking at the tracts of a candidate for international relations at our college, who praises the West Germans for being so “wracked with guilt” that they handed over their country to Muslim immigrants.
As the descendant of people whom the Nazis chased out of Europe, I don’t feel compensated by the lunatic decision to deliver that straying continent into the hands of Islamicists. In fact I wouldn’t want these immigrants and asylum-seekers invading Europe from the Third World, whether or not they collect welfare benefits once they reach their destination.
It is essential that we keep making the distinction between favoring the free market whether here, in Israel, or in Europe, and encouraging the lunatic leftist ideology of open borders. What makes the view that you assailed yesterday particularly dishonest is that no one who expresses it wants us to stop Third World underclass immigration until we have abolished the welfare state. They are simply making excuses for not noticing who comes here.
