The miracle of the magical migrants | Geoffrey Heath-Taylor | The Critic Magazine - "a core dogma of the progressive creed: the magical, transformative power of Western soil. The moment a migrant steps onto the tarmac at Heathrow or JFK — and certainly the moment their child draws its first breath in a Western maternity ward — they are deemed to be as indigenous as the oaks of the Forest of Dean and the Redwoods of northern California. To suggest that cultural roots or ancestral ties might linger is “othering”. This logic was deployed in the aftermath of the Southport stabbings. When it emerged that the suspect, Axel Rudakubana, was the son of Rwandan immigrants, the immediate response of the clerisy was to flatten his identity. He was, we were told, a “Welsh Christian”. Forget that his parents moved to Wales from Rwanda in 2002. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff: to mention Rwanda was irrelevant. The mystical soil of Wales had worked its magic, making Rudakubana as Welsh as Dylan Thomas. Only a bigot could imagine otherwise. If this principle — that geography dictates identity, and recent arrival is no bar to belonging — were applied universally, its consistency could be respected. But it is not. It is applied with a rigorous, almost comical selectivity: the rules of belonging depend more on who you are, where you’ve come from and what colour you are. Consider the Afrikaners. The Dutch first dropped anchor at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. That is the better part of four centuries ago — pre-dating the formation of the United Kingdom by more than 50 years. An Afrikaner born in Pretoria today is the product of 12 or 13 generations of African living. They have no other home; their language was forged in the Sub-Saharan dust. Yet, to the liberal progressive, they remain undeniably, irrevocably European. In the lexicon of the decolonisation movement, a white farmer in Zimbabwe or a third-generation British descendant in Kenya can never be an African. They are “colonial settlers”, transients with no moral claim to the land of their birth. It matters not that they might never have seen Europe, nor that their great-grandfathers are buried under local Mpundu trees. Their whiteness renders them eternal guests, morally obliged to “go back” to a continent that is foreign to them. Whilst the Somali arrival in the US instantly becomes a permanent thread woven into the fabric of the nation, the Dutch arrival in Africa is a temporary incursion that centuries cannot normalise. The anti-settler, pro-immigration lobby cannot have it both ways. They cannot claim that the “Welsh Christian” son of Rwandan immigrants is irrefutably British whilst simultaneously turning a blind eye to the seizure of land from third-generation white farmers in Africa on the grounds that land being in Africa cannot be settled by non-Africans. This hypocrisy finds its most feverish expression in the Middle East. Why does the clock of history stop for Jews in 1948, freezing them as eternal immigrants, whilst for the Windrush generation the clock starts in 1948 when they instantly became naturalised British citizens? Why is a Jew in Judea — the very land from which his culture, religion and name originated thousands of years ago — a “settler”, whilst a first- or second-generation Pakistani in Bradford an unquestionably indigenous Brit? The answer is that “settler” and “native” no longer draw on geography or history. They are moral categories. In the theology of the left, the West is the source of oppression, and anyone moving from the West (or perceived as an outpost of it, like Israel) carries that sin with them. They can never truly belong to the “native” lands they move to. However, anyone moving to the West is an innocent — a victim of history seeking betterment whose arrival is a blessing. It is a worldview that requires a suspension of disbelief so vast it borders on the miraculous. It asks us to believe that a man’s identity is fluid when he steps onto British soil, but calcified when he steps onto African or Levantine soil. It is a logic that allows the left to posture as the defenders of the “native” in Palestine — even when the Jew bought the land, as so many did — whilst simultaneously declaring that the very concept of “native” is racist in Paris or London. Until we recognise this sham moral hierarchy for what it is — an anti-Western ideological weapon rather than a coherent theory of citizenship — we will continue to be frustrated by contradictions and hypocrisy."
Economists say SG has "deep and systemic" issues caused by over-reliance on cheap foreign labor - "Economists Manu Bhaskaran and Nigel Chiang published a paper on Academia.sg yesterday (20 Nov) highlighting that Singapore is under-performing relative to trading partners, peers and OECD countries in both labour and total factor productivity. It reflects a "deep and systemic" issues in the Singapore economy, especially in sectors where an over-reliance on foreign migrant labour has affected incentives to invest. This is undermining economic growth, wages and living standards, corporate profitability and international competitiveness, the authors opined... Singapore’s productivity growth has under-performed its top trading partners, other small high-income economies, and the OECD average, with the performance gap widening over the years. "Since 2000, real median wage growth has declined, and average local monthly nominal wages are lower than in our peer group in every sector except finance — as much as 40 to 50 percent lower in construction, and accommodation and food services, where productivity is also very low," the authors said. "Low productivity growth will over time undermine economic competitiveness. Already the rate of return on foreign direct investment in Singapore is lower than in other emerging Asian economies and in a peer group of small countries with similar per capita GDP."... The authors said that the weak productivity in Singapore can be traced to policy decisions that may have distorted the incentive structure of the economy. "One likely reason is the massive inflow of foreign labour, much of it poorly skilled," they wrote. Up to around 2005, output per worker moved more or less in line with Singapore’s top 15 trading partners. But subsequently, there was a persistent and wide level of under-performance, coinciding with the explosive growth in the importation of cheap foreign labour in the early 2000s, noted the authors... When productivity growth under-performs, companies' profitability is affected too. In their research, the authors found that construction, hotel, F&B and even information and communication sectors under-perform the most with respect to profitability, productivity and wages, and these sectors are the ones with large inflow of cheap foreign labour. At the same time, the authors also observed that real median wage growth in Singapore has declined steeply in the first decade of the 2000s, which coincides with a period of accelerated inflows of foreign labour. "The large and rapid inflow of foreign labour has depressed wages, business investment and productivity growth. Sub-par productivity growth eventually showed up in the under-performance of local companies, but the economy continued to grow thanks to an expanding labour force," the authors wrote. "To conclude, the Singapore economy appears to us to be in a low-level trap. Large inflows of low-skilled cheap foreign workers have depressed both wages and the incentive to raise productivity, making the economy increasingly reliant on ever more inflows of cheap labour, which further restrains wage growth and produces even less incentive to move up the productivity curve, while also hurting the wages of lower-income Singaporeans.""
Weird. We are told that open borders boost productivity and doesn't affect wages

Project for Immigration Reform on X - "Over the past two decades, nearly every Western country discovered the same lucrative arrangement. Universities could charge foreign students premium tuition. Governments could classify the resulting inflow as a form of “high-skilled” immigration. And ambitious young people from South Asia could be sold the prospect that a degree was less an education than a pathway to permanent settlement. The United States helped establish the model. When the Obama administration expanded post-graduation work authorization for foreign students, it transformed the student visa from a temporary educational credential into something much closer to a probationary immigration program. Other countries soon followed. Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand each concluded that they, too, could convert their universities into recruitment agencies for future migrants. The policy rested on a fashionable theory of economic development. Washington think tanks spent years arguing that Silicon Valley owed its success chiefly to immigrant talent. Statistics about immigrant founders circulated endlessly, stripped of context and elevated into a kind of civic theology. Policymakers elsewhere convinced themselves that importing ever larger numbers of foreign students would allow them to replicate California’s success. Of course, no rival Silicon Valley ever materialized. Instead, we got a transnational market in migration opportunities. Universities collected tuition revenue. Governments inflated their human-capital statistics. Young foreigners pursued residency. Natives found themselves competing in increasingly crowded labor markets, residents confronted rising housing costs, and communities adapted to demographic change on a scale that few policymakers had openly contemplated."

I am a Singaporean Indian Tamil. CECA has made me feel like a foreigner in my own country. : r/SingaporeRaw- "I am a Singaporean Indian who speaks Tamil, one of our four official languages. But increasingly, I have been made to feel like a foreigner in my own country. Just the other day at an Indian Mamak food stall, I was speaking Tamil with the stall owner, when a North Indian foreign woman cut in, started speaking in Hindi, and acted like we were the outsiders. She even told me that when the stall uncle speaks Tamil to her, she only replies in Hindi, not even English, because “Hindi is the national language of India, not Tamil.” No social awareness. No civic sense. Just entitlement. Let’s be clear: Hindi is not an official language in Singapore. Tamil is. (heck even in India it is such a controversial topic). But because of CECA and the lack of real safeguards for locals, even local Singaporean Tamil voices are being sidelined. The irony is that even in India, that statement is highly controversial. Tamil Nadu and other southern states have strongly resisted Hindi imposition for decades. But thanks to India’s current political climate, where Hindi nationalism has been pushed more aggressively, this kind of mindset is becoming more common among some Indian nationals coming here. And this is not a one-off. It’s part of a growing pattern where the influx of foreigners under CECA has changed the social fabric of our SINGAPORE, often at the expense of local minorities. This election, I am voting for the opposition because I want leaders who will actually speak up for local minority communities. Leaders who will question how policies like CECA were implemented, and who will prioritise Singaporeans of all backgrounds over unchecked foreign interests."

Meme - ">The reason for the sudden influx of browns in the west is to keep the economy propped up.
Basically. The pension ponzi is coming apart ahead of schedule and they need to keep the boomers happy, so the imperative for policymakers is
1. Prop up inflated housing values, which represent the majority of most boomers' net worth, reducing reliance on pensions. Infinity browns living 20 to a house will do this
2. Suppress wages so boomers can get stuff cheaper. Making working age people compete for jobs with infinity browns living 20 to a house will do this
3. Suppress inflation caused by money printing to inflate other boomer assets (stocks etc). Infinity browns each sending $250 a month back to Bangladesh will do this by removing money from the economy here
4. Suppress popular backlash to working people being deliberately impoverished in order to benefit boomers. Making a big chunk of the population browns who have a very strong incentive to continue #1-3 does this
That is why the coordinated influx of various types of browns into pension system countries all of a sudden, all at the same time. Other jurisdictions like Canada are also trying stuff like euthanizing a certain % of retirees per year, to attack the pension problem from both ends, but that's the main problem. If you think about it for five seconds, you'll realize that public pensions for everyone require a constantly increasing population that's constantly producing more value per worker (as opposed to service and government jobs that reduce value produced per worker), and it's mathematically impossible"
Meme - Claire Lehmann @clairlemon: "I asked Claude Fable why the Australian government promoted record- breaking immigration at a time of economic deterioration. It's output:"
"Elite consensus and taboo. For roughly two decades, neither major party in either country wanted to own restriction, partly from conviction, partly because the charge of racism was electorally lethal and the business/progressive coalition behind openness spanned both parties. That created exactly the vacuum insurgent parties exist to fill. On whether the backlash was foreseeable-yes, and it was foreseen. Britain ran this experiment first: the post-2004 surge fed UKIP, then Brexit, then Reform, in a more or less straight line. The political science on rapid local demographic change plus economic insecurity predicting populist-right support is well established. What's striking is that Australia watched all of it happen and its Treasury still revised migration forecasts upward two months ago."

So you could literally join ISIS, rape and pillage across the Middle East, and the Australian government would recognise any kid you had while raping and pillaging across the Middle East to be automatically Australian Citizenship involves literally no obligations of loyalty whatsoever in Australia. You can literally join ISIS with an Australian government guarantee that any kid you have while raping and butchering people across the Middle East will get an Aussie passport"

i/o on X - "The online right had to shift its argument away from "non-Western legal immigrants are good only when they are net contributors" to "non-Western legal immigrants are bad even when they are net contributors because they will destroy our culture" once they realized that the data clearly show that these newcomers (especially if they are from Asia) are usually almost always instant contributors. The evidence the online right has for its "destruction of culture" claim isn't so much a data-based one as a fear-driven one (and in some cases a racist one) based mostly upon motivated reasoning and limited or anecdotal data. Which brings me to two familiar complaints of mine: (1) The right lacks the ability to establish institutions that would have the resources and ability to collect sufficiently extensive data relating to the cultural assimilation of non-Western legal immigrants (data which might support its case), and (2) the institutions which do have the resources to investigate its claim have no interest in doing so because they have been captured by a left that really isn't all that interested in the issue of immigrant assimilation anymore (or even thinks it's a harmful notion). So what we're left with is a debate between a right convinced that highly-educated high-income low-crime legal immigrants from the developing world will reject (and ultimately destroy) so-called "heritage culture", and left-leaning institutions that don't particularly care if this happens — and also a relative paucity of existing large-sample data which might help reasonable people judge the merits of the right's argument. But, based on the information we do have now, I'm not persuaded that legal immigrants are going to deleteriously change or harm American culture. And of course the argument that they are good for our economy and global competitiveness remains strong."
Jonas Reschat on X - "In Denmark, the social-democratic politician Frederik Vad introduced what he called the third realization: Even immigrants who are well-educated and law abiding can be subversive if they're too culturally different from Danes. The libertarian politician and former professor of sociology Henrik Dahl made a derivative conclusion: As minorities enter Danish institutions, assimilations happens both ways, because they will eventually influence Danes as well. Looking at America today, we see this happening very clearly. American culture is gradually moving away from the North-Western European origin: Less economic freedom, more corruption and clannishness."

Australian judge Andrew Muller refused to imprison the 16 year old teenage rapist because he found that the rapist didn’t know that rape was against Australian customs - he had “limited insight into societal norms in Australia.” In determining the sentence, Justice Muller somehow found that the fact that the rapist didn’t understand that rape was against Australian culture reduced his moral culpability for the rape. I don’t understand. This is sickening. In a victim impact statement, the victim described feeling a loss of dignity, confidence and sense of self.
