Lately, I applauded Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s problem to the Biden Regime’s treasonous willpower to open the border to illegals (which continues). However I seen the paradox that Abbott was doing this from India the place he travelling to specific assist for India authorized immigration to the U.S., specifically through the H-1B visa racket that imports Indian “visitor staff” to immiserate American STEM graduates.

So this raises the query: What number of Indian immigrants do we would like? Or are we not allowed to ask?
I’ve written earlier than about the issue posed by importing an Asian Overclass. However the lobbying of these Indian tech-placement corporations has been so profitable that there are actually, I’m advised, IT departments in American corporations with a majority of Indian workers.
On the govt degree, we right here at VDARE.com have for a few years now been posting on the Indian CEO virus. For instance. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, an immigrant from India, has ordered subordinates to discriminate towards white males in hiring.
And only a transient private word on these IT departments: I spent thirty years working in them, as an worker or as an impartial contractor. I do know these locations and the work that’s carried out in them. It’s not onerous. These guest-worker visas usually are not bringing in Claude Shannons and John von Neumanns. They’re bringing in John Derbyshires…er, at greatest.
I’m now going to ask what Sir Winston Churchill would have known as a Naughty Query. Earlier than asking it, although, allow me to place down a marker about Range—which I believe is a jolly good factor.
My inspiration right here is British sociologist Noah Carl:
Relating to nation-states, “range is our power” doesn’t actually maintain water. Or to place it much less diplomatically, it’s sentimental tripe. However is there a context through which the slogan may need extra veracity? Sure there’s: the entire world. The extra distinctive cultures, nations and races now we have on planet earth, the higher.[Diversity is good, actually, Aporia Magazine, January 17. Link in original.]
I fully agree. Taking the world as a complete, the extra human range it holds, the higher. Range provides curiosity, alternatives for journey, mental challenges, … and that’s not even to point out totally different cuisines.
From the perspective of a working-class English lad, for instance, China is separated from the society he is aware of by a substantial range hole. I’ve been fascinated by the place since my faculty days; obtained two books (Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream, and Hearth from the Solar,) out of it and, um, a spouse.
So yeah for world range!
It’s not improper to ask, although, how a lot range one single nation can tolerate inside itself. As Noah Carl describes at size in his article, an excessive amount of human range in a single nation is usually a adverse.
Individuals, of all individuals, don’t must be advised this. We, an enormous inhabitants of white Europeans sharing the land with a smaller, however nonetheless huge inhabitants of black Africans, are reminded of it each day.
So right here is my Naughty Query: What number of Indians ought to we admit for settlement?
There may be virtually no higher restrict to the reply that may be given. India has a number of Indians. In some unspecified time in the future very lately—across the finish of final 12 months, I believe—India’s inhabitants turned greater than China’s, at simply over 1.4 billion. And that’s with the next fertility charge: 2.07 youngsters per girl versus China’s marketed 1.45, which specialists imagine is an over-statement.
You’ll be able to broaden the scope right here barely, and never impermissibly, by bringing in different South Asian nations considerably aligned with India: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, even the Maldives if you happen to like. Inhabitants complete then: 1.84 billion. In case you do the identical for China, including in Taiwan and Singapore, you get one thing like 1.44 billion; in order that South Asia is 28 % extra populous than the Higher China Co-Prosperity Sphere.
So: a mighty lot of Indians, and much more South Asians.
And that Naughty Query once more: What number of ought to we admit for settlement?
There are negatives to be thought-about, most clearly Hindu-Moslem antagonism [Indian PM presides over inauguration of new Hindu temple built where mosque once sat, by Payton Davis, Deseret News, January 23, 2024] and the caste system.
Much less clearly, however more and more noticeable, there’s what you may name “political seize.” Look throughout the Pond to the British Isles…The “British” Isles?
British Isles settlers of South Asian or part-South Asian parentage appear to not have discovered Wales a topic of political curiosity but, however maybe it’s only a matter of time. Or maybe they discover the language too tough.
In the meantime, we Individuals have simply been obsessing over Normal Election primaries that includes personalities named Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, née Nimarata Randhawa.
South Asians appear to be fairly good on the Anglo-American fashion of politics.
However South Asian predilections have adverse penalties for the host white populations.
Right here’s a non-exhaustive record from VDARE.com’s 20+ years of reporting:
The Indian CEO Virus
Indian Medical Docs
Normal Negatives
So yet another time, my Naughty Query: What number of Indians ought to we admit for settlement, from a rustic whose inhabitants is presently 4.2 instances ours?
Or are we not permitted to ask?
