Denmark's Immigration Dilemma
00:05:02

|
| This Sunday's New York Times Magazine has an interesting article. | |
| In an age of right-wing populism, why are Denmark's liberals winning? | |
| It moans about Donald Trump. | |
| It moans about Europeans tilting to the right. | |
| Everywhere, the left is in retreat, except in Denmark. | |
| The welfare state is flourishing. | |
| College is free. | |
| Prostitution is legal. | |
| And 15-year-old girls can get abortions without telling anyone. | |
| There's even a carbon tax on farm animals because they let fly climate-changing methane from both ends. | |
| What's Denmark's secret? | |
| It's keeping immigrants out. | |
| And this is very confusing for the New York Times. | |
| It thinks everything lefty is good, good, good. | |
| But keeping out immigrants is bad, bad, bad. | |
| How can these two things go together? | |
| Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, Performs this miracle. | |
| When she took office in 2019, she was Denmark's first lady prime minister, and at age 41, the youngest. | |
| Her parents were lefties, and she became politically active at age 15. She campaigned against all the usual stuff, whale hunting, apartheid, deforestation. | |
| Racism. And she went straight into Denmark's pinko social democrat party that goes all the way back to the first international. | |
| At first, she loved immigrants, but she had a change of heart in 2015. | |
| She learned that a lot of asylum seekers were frauds and freeloaders. | |
| She learned that the ones who do work drive down wages for natives. | |
| She even learned that diversity is bad for close-knit communities, and you need community to have a welfare state. | |
| As she explained to The Times,"Leftist politics depend on collective solutions in which voters feel part of a shared community or nation. | |
| Otherwise, they will not accept the high taxes that pay for a strong welfare state. | |
| High levels of immigration can undermine this cohesion," she says. | |
| The Guardian, of course, is unhappy with Ms. Fredrickson. | |
| How dare a lefty support a paradigm shift, a push to make repatriation rather than integration the goal of asylum policy? | |
| Ms. Fredrickson pushed hard to make Denmark the first European country to decide that Syria was safe and to start booting Syrians out. | |
| She wants to close all Muslim schools, send all current asylum seekers to a holding center in North Africa. | |
| And not take any more. | |
| Immigrants who have legal status can't be welfare bums. | |
| They have to work. | |
| The Times is in a terrible dither about this. | |
| Is Ms. Fredrickson a baddie or a goodie? | |
| You see, even in wonderful socialist Denmark, some opposition to immigration stemmed from an irrational fear of outsiders. | |
| Well-functioning societies push back against this bigotry. | |
| But it's a mistake to treat all dissatisfaction with rising immigration as racism. | |
| So, if you just want a high-trust, culturally and racially coherent country, you're a Nazi. | |
| If you want one because you're trying to build a socialist paradise, well, then it might be okay. | |
| Well, I don't like the welfare state. | |
| It's dysgenic to tax productive people to subsidize unproductive people. | |
| But if Mehta Fredrickson thinks she can make that work by keeping Denmark Danish, I say, God bless her. | |
| She isn't the only lefty who thinks that way. | |
| Sarah Wagenknecht, who was once a big deal in the German left, wants a fat welfare state. | |
| She, too, says immigrants are a problem. | |
| Germans are more willing to pay for handouts if the handouts go to fellow Germans. | |
| So white advocates may find themselves with Pretty queer bedfellows. | |
| Pim Fortin of the Netherlands started out as a Marxist, but he went hard right on immigration. | |
| He said Muslims were backward and wanted none of them in his country. | |
| Part of their backwardness was hatred of homosexuals. | |
| And if there were too many Muslims, then homosexuals, like Fortin himself, would have to go back into the closet. | |
| In last week's German elections, if only homosexuals and lesbians had voted, the outcome would have been different. | |
| In the actual vote, shown here, the only serious immigration control party, AFD, the blue bar in the middle, came in second with 20.8% of the vote. | |

I Love Our Culture

|
| According to this poll of non-heterosexuals only, they would have put AFD in the top spot at 27.9%. | |
| Non-heteros under the age of 40 would have given the AFD a crushing victory of 33%. | |
| These results are skewed because there are a lot more male than female non-heteros, and men favor the AFD over women 24% to 17%. | |
| Still, there is clearly an independent homo effect. | |
| I think they don't like the idea of being thrown off tall buildings or being stoned to death. | |
| I want Europe to stay European because I love white people. | |
| I love our heritage, our culture, our way of life. | |
| And I want them to flower and flourish forever. | |
| Our greatest immediate threat is immigration and the Great Replacement. | |
| I support anyone who wants to stop that. | |
| For religious reasons, environmental reasons, social reasons, I don't care. | |
| Some people may think ending immigration and a firm remigration policy are the only way to save same-sex marriage, nudist colonies, and abortions for 15-year-olds. | |
| Saving our people is job number one. | |
| Once we are safe behind tight borders, we can work out all our differences. | |
| And we don't all have to reach the same solutions. | |
| The Dutch and the Danes might want women to marry each other. | |
