Tucker Carlson: “Closing All Immigrants” for 30 years – Until Unity Restores

While promoting the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act on Senators' floors, the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) pushed for many selling points. Above all, he said that

Our city is “not overflowing with one million immigrants every year.” “The mix of ethnic groups in this country will not be upset.” And the bill “will not inundate America with immigrants from one country or region.”

Interestingly, these predictions were not just wrong.

That means they turned out to be the exact opposite of the truth.

Furthermore, there are currently 53.3 million foreign-born people in the United States, accounting for 15.8% of the population. Both numbers are new record highs.

And of course, there is a reason why automated phone services render the message “Press 1 for English”. It is called Vulcanization.

But we have heard a lot about the end of illegal immigration, but there is little about ending the main cause of Balkanization: legal immigration.

However, it is commentator Tucker Carlson who is aiming to change this. He shamed it in a recent interview, saying, “We need to close all immigrants now… Cap now and have a 30 or 40 year cooling-off period.”

Immigration: PassétatusQuo

Carlson made a comment on fellow critic Chris Cuomo on Monday. Laying out his paper, Carlson said:

We had too many immigrants and made this country completely different. …We need to now close all immigrants, maintain or restore equilibrium, and be able to understand what it is that as a nation we are all together. It's confusing. It's just too crazy now. No one more, period – none. Cap now and then (A) cooling period, 30 or 40 years.

Cuomo then tried to dismiss the issue as gin-uped by President Donald Trump. (In fact, me and many others have been warning us for decades of dangers about the dangers of our immigration system.) Carlson responded by saying that immigration is actually “the biggest problem we have.” He then explained in detail:

Because it creates confusion and inconsistency. If you have a continental size country like us, the main question you have every day is you think about it all day – (How do we hold together? Why don't 50 states become 50 countries?

…So we need a period of time where we can think about it being Americans, what unites us. Immigration becomes impossible because it's too much… Things change too quickly. Who are these people?

…We didn't have such immigrants as part of our population. … And by the way, that's happening at a time when technology is certain to overturn our economy and employment structure. Similarly, AI (artificial intelligence) is trying to change everything. There's too much change at once.

In other words, AI and robotics are poised to drive away a huge number of workers in the coming decades. Therefore, the argument that “workers are needed” may be outdated.

A billion Americans?

Of course, Cuomo intervened from time to time during the conversation, defending the immigrant status quo. For example, he said immigration is “how we live in the country.” Carlson replied, “Not on this scale.”

But to be fair, Cuomo is also correct. That's how we live in our country. What do you guess?

The country has its population.

The work is complete.

America is no longer a wide open land of forests and prairies. Our population is no longer 10 million. Not 148.3 million in 1950 or 223.3 million in 1980. The current number is 343.6 million, up from just 338.3 million in 2021.

Now, commentator Glenn Beck and others believe that immigration should continue until we have a billion Americans. They argue that this is necessary to compete globally (as if AI and robotics weren't real). Is this a good idea? Do we want this?

We really don't know. Because this should be a big problem, but we virtually don't talk about it. However, this could and should be a national debate.

At what point will the population be reduced by terminating immigration? What if our numbers are 500 million? 7 million? 1 billion?

More water flooding than assimilation

Carlson also warned in so many words that our immigration rates have exceeded the rates of assimilation long ago. When he told Cuomo, he said, “I'm going to Portland, Maine. It doesn't look like Portland, Maine. There's no evidence that people are assimilating at all.”

This is also a fatal Vulcanization. This is for multiple reasons, ranging from the influence of multiculturalism to the lack of appeal to our decadent popular culture towards ethnic and religious chowbinism among newcomers. But there's this: we were able to get too many immigrants in too quickly.

Professor Stephen Tierney at the University of Edinburgh explained this threat very well in his 2008 book Multiculturalism and the Canadian Constitution. He wrote:

In a situation where immigration is divided into many different groups from distant countries, there is no possible prospect for a particular immigrant group to challenge the hegemony of the Japanese language and institutions. These groups may have alliances between themselves to fight for better treatment and accommodation, but such alliances can only be developed within the language and institutions of the host society and therefore are integrative. In situations where a single dominant immigration group comes from a neighboring country, the dynamics may be very different. Spanish Arabs and US Mexicans do not need allies among other immigrant groups. At least in the area where they are concentrated, Arabic or Spanish can be imagined to be declared the second official language, and these migrants can seek support from their neighboring home countries for such claims.

It's not just theory

So even these unified (for now) states, it has come to pass. Historically, our immigrants were unable to receive services in their native language. They were unable to “push 2” in German, Italian, Swedish, Chinese or Norwegian. And now we need to “push 1 for English.”

So how do you need to proceed? Well, if we could completely reinvent the immigration system in 1965 based on lies, wouldn't we consider reinventing it today, at least based on the truth?
