COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN INVESTMENT WATCH
“’We can’t restore our
civilization with somebody else’s babies.’ The statement is open ended, mildly
confusing, and leaves a plethora of room for interpretation.”
Mildly confusing?
It's unbelievably brainless and extremely confusing.
The simple scientific facts are these.
Populations in advanced countries do not have enough
children to replace their existing populations.
Therefore, declines in size are the future without
migration.
So, legal migration is a necessity everywhere in the
advanced world.
And, if you want also to have a decent, ethical society, you
must accept some of the world's many refugees, too.
After all, America has signed binding international treaties
to that end.
But America has an even bigger ethical obligation than most countries
for the simple reason that its imperial wars have in fact caused so much of the
up-rootedness and destruction we see in places such as Syria, Libya, Yemen,
etc.
America is the single greatest manufacturer of refugees as
well as dead bodies.
And so, America resembles the world's horror state when it
claims the right to go bombing and destroying in many lands and then says of
the results, "It's none of our concern.”
So far, Trump is proving a terrible disappointment.
He hasn't ended any war. We don’t have even a hint of his
trying to do so. Certain noises suggest he may even increase some. Yet he and
his loyal followers rail on about refugees as though they came from another
planet.
