>I am writing this column in Japan, a country whose crime rate is the lowest among countries with large populations. I asked my Japanese translator, a middle-aged woman, what she thought. “Why is there is so little crime in Japan?” I asked.
>Without taking a moment to reflect, she responded, “because we don’t allow immigration.”
National Review tend to pull back whenever somebody really pushes things. They're kind enough to tolerate Armond White though so props for that. They should have stood by John Derbyshire though. He said what they were all thinking.

The pendulum swings at last.

The Left constantly repeats that “we are a nation of immigrants” without citing the other half of that fact — “who assimilate into America.” The Left mocks the once universally held American belief in the “melting pot.” But the melting pot is the only way to have a country composed of immigrants build a cohesive society. America was never just “a nation of immigrants.” America was always a nation of immigrants who sought to become — or at least were taught by American public schools and by the general American culture to become — Americans.
If America becomes a nation of non-assimilating immigrants, or becomes a nation consisting of non-assimilating ethnic, racial, and national groups who are already here, America will cease being a glorious idea and become just another nation torn by conflicting interest groups. These various groups will fight one another — first verbally and then, perhaps, violently, and America will see more and more violence — just as France, Sweden, and Germany have since they began taking in millions of immigrants, many of whom have no intention of becoming Frenchmen, Swedes, or Germans.

Integration is also alright.

i thought crime rates are low in japan because a crime is only reported if it gets solved
Xavier Sanders

Kayden Perry
Nah, you'd be surprised how low crime rate is when you aren't a sub-human and live with nothing but your own kind.
David Flores

i would consider most readers to be cucked by CNN/NYT/HufPo, but to suggest national review is cucked needs some explaination
