Why aren't we doing this? We actually have laws against immigrants becoming public charges and, unlike Germany, we have no legal obligation to let these people travel in our country, and yet, the vast majority of our “immigrants,” legal and illegal alike, are public charges. Indeed, that is their sole reason for coming here, not for work. (Very few of them were unemployed in their home countries.) This is one of the many reasons why we need a moratorium on all immigration.

The untold story behind this story is the influence of Democratic Socialist economist-banker Thilo Sarrazin’s brilliant, courageous, 2010 book,Deutschland schafft sich ab : Wie wir unser Land aufs Spiel setzen (Germany Abolishes Itself: How We are Gambling with Our Country), in stiffening the will of the German public and bringing around its political class. The academic and media Left sought to Derbyshire Sarrazin, by lying about his findings and demagoguing him, even as they charged him with spreading false social science and engaging in demagoguery, and as they said in stage whispers, “He’s a Nazi!,” but Sarrazin refused to back down. Sarrazin gave German patriots a language of protest, just the sort of language that the Left sought to rob them of.

Thanks to reader-researcher “W” for this catch.
