During a fundraiser celebrating the beginning of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, President Biden referred to Japan, China, and Russia as “xenophobic.”
“You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is … because we welcome immigrants. Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong!”
However, the idealistic notion of diversity as our “strength,” frequently championed by leftists, diverges from the harsh reality that diversity has never been a strength of nations.
In the book Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity, political scientist Samuel Huntington posited:
Would America be the America it is today if, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it had been settled not by British Protestants but by French, Spanish, or Portuguese? The answer is no. It would not be America; it would be Quebec, Mexico, or Brazil.
And what about the West? Would the West remain what it was if it continued to accept immigrants from parts of the world hostile to its values and traditions? That answer is also no. The West would no longer be the West; eventually, it would look like a conglomeration of South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and parts of the Middle East. Sadly, this is the situation the West finds itself in today as Western nations have been significantly and deliberately transformed from their earlier identities due to unrelenting mass migration.
