September 11 Wasn’t Allowed To Influence Mass Muslim Immigration

 

When September 11 happened, I was working for VDARE.com and did a column asking if Americans would “wake up and smell the coffee” about immigration. They didn’t much, because they weren’t allowed to.

The President at the time, George W. Bush, with his family association with oil companies, was very much an Arab sympathizer (the Saudi Ambassador to the US, Bandar bin Sultan, who spent a lot of time with the Bushes was actually nicknamed “Bandar Bush”.)

Bush’s first concern after the attack was to visit a DC Islamic Center and declare Islam a religion of peace.

But it wasn’t just Bush, the whole country decided to treat being a Muslim Arab immigrant like being black—a member of America’s protected, untouchable Civil Rights-eligible class. The Left sprang into action to form, in effect, a “Society For The Protection Of Enemy Aliens” and on the 20^th Anniversary of 9/11 Bush was still talking about the threat of “nativism” and “religious bigotry”, rather than the threat of Islamic terrorism.

And an obvious step, after 9/11, would have been to curtail Muslim immigration—stop giving immigrant visa to at least those countries that the State Department lists as “State Sponsors Of Terror”.
