JD Vance said .....
‘Western liberals imported the Third World into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility.’

This is factually incorrect
Lets deal with the UK and the USA.
In the UK, apart from the small number of refugees and genuine asylum seekers, who have been accepted on compassionate grounds there were two but related reasons for our multicultural society.
1. Former commonwealth citizens were granted rights to entry to the UK following the end of Empire:
2. We actually invited and still invite immigrants in because they were and still are needed in the work force.
Apart from those who enter as qualified professionals (whose training was paid for in their countries of origin, a cheap deal for us, and depriving the country of origin of their skills
we needed them because they filled the lowest paid jobs that either UK citizens are unwilling to do, or because of the effect of the continuing rise in the UK population of those needing care, ie elderly or disabled, cannot be met due to our dropping birth rate
I hope that covers why we have a multicultural society and indeed any we still need one.
We ar not being compassionate, but practical, and often, we demand of them that they be compassionate in caring work, and we should have a great deal of gratitude for this. It's more clear in some areas of the country than others. of course. And a greater % of them than our white population gave their lives during, for example, Covid.
Yet, consistently, its on record that many second or third generation immigrants do better at school than their white counterparts, because of family ambition.
The USA is somewhat different and Vance's words even more ignorant. the USA is a nation of immigrants, who gained the land and wealth by killing or marginalising the American Indians or enslaving people from Africa.
Prominent politicians are themselves only second or third generation (white or ethnically diverse politicians)
Newer immigration was welcomed for the same reasons as the UK: cheap labour - lower prices in the shops. Notably in the farming and caring sectors. Large numbers were allowed in to work without citizenship.
As soon as it was perceived "too many" came over borders - in the UK and the USA - accurately or not - the marginalised were then persecuted and are persecuted as being "not us" "blame them".
And *this is what we are seeing at work in Reform and its supporters". Clacton voters, for example, need their carers and their hospital workers, and they do jobs that those same voters will not do at times.
Of course newcomers commit crime, but if you focus on them rather that home grown white criminals you are ignoring a culture of criminality that is actually growing.
You turn a blind eye to exactly what this thread is all about - Reform leaders themselves holding and speaking out appalling misogynist or racist words, ie, perpetrating that very misogyny and hatred of multiculturalism that are turning us in a divisive, blaming, society.
A society that has lost its sense of thankfulness for what we are being given and turns to blame, ^and a group of politicians actually contributing to that racism and horrible attitudes to women and children, in very ordinary homes up and down the country just at the point when women -since the 1970's especially were beginning to gain on matters of respect and appreciation of what we bring.
Its a philosophy that is damaging us as human beings: based, as I have pointed out above, on entirely false premises.
