‘…..And, to the third religious pillar of modern libertarianism, if someone wants to be my neighbour, then let him enter the country legally, let him assimilate into the culture already-present and let him learn the fucking language so I can have a beer with him over the back fence on a hot Saturday afternoon. Don’t tell me I have to learn Portuguese, Farsi, Hindi, Arabic or fucking Chinese. Don’t tell me I can’t cook bacon on my barbecue because it is “haram” and offends your religion and don’t fucking tell me I can’t have a beer in my own back yard on a hot Saturday afternoon. If you want those rules, fuck off to Syria, Iran or Saudi Arabia (or Dandenong, Melbourne)..’

FOR LIBERTY
Actually, I think people should know something about the language before they come here. I’m sick of on the bus, on the street, or in my neighbourhood hearing people speak their own language.
This is very true.
I remember nights on the train home from Tokyo, and every so often there would be a little group of some Australian tourists or some American servicemen. They would sure make a racket.
No one ever said anything, but the older Japanese salarymen peering over the tops of their folded evening newspapers did not approve.
Gantt’s policy is clear and workable on this point! I agree that a minimum qualification has to be language skills as it has to be impossible to assimilate or even blend in if you don’t use the local lingo.
I agree Cadwallader, I do agree with Gantt, and like you said, knowing something should be a prerequisite.
I don’t entirely agree.
Immigration should carry a probation period at very least, during which you learn the language and demonstrate that you’re not a card-carrying psychopath.
Call it a pre-citizenship visa. One year. Two tops.
I know plenty of damn fine Australians who didn’t know a word of English when they arrived.
Or maybe have rules like Austria (not sure if this does still apply but I knew an old Austrian guy and discussed citizenship rules with him)- you have to reside there 30 years before you can apply for citizenship.
Another thing, any trouble such as inciting violence by whatever means and it’s straight back with your whole family to the “utopia” you came from, like say Iran even if you have gained citizenship.
Wombat, actually you reminded me of an earlier idea I had
. What happens is people are on a 5 year trial, and you stay or leave based on your performance. So if a dairy owner, cheats the tax system by underdeclaring his/her income. At the end of five years, they’re told, sorry you haven’t been much use to us 
. And then if they do declare enough earnings to stay in the country, then the IRD will get suspicious if all of a sudden their earnings drop.
Honestly, their are so many third world migrants who cheat the system, which means those of us who are honest are paying more then our fair share
. Now don’t get me wrong, blending in with the culture and language is important, but people ripping off the tax system is almost an important issue. Just in case people think I’m saying people should pay more tax. What I’m suggesting is that everybody pays their fair share, many hands make work light. And if the probationary period should be 2 years that’s fine. But for business people I think 5 years is fine.
When I said almost an important issue, i meant also an important issue.
From my firsthand observations there have been very few issues with Christian immigrants, regardless of their race.
My experience is that they are neither better nor worse than the average natural-born Christian citizen, but they tend to get closer scrutiny so their failings are magnified.
Refugee status can be a very, very simple thing.
Send Christian refugees to predominantly Christian nations.
Send muslim refugees to predominantly muslim nations.
It’s not rocket surgery, but it’s also not productive for our globalist masters, who want to pit us against each other at a community level and then act as the umpire.
How about we simply end all social welfare for both native and immigrant?Make it so like the old days where you came on your own and made it on your own?
If we did that I would have just two requirements-
#1 understanding of our government function.
#2 that they purchase a return airline ticket in advance in case things don’t work out.
Wombat, that might explain something, we’re losing our national identity. We don’t stand for anything as a nation, because we’re all a lot of different groups. So that’s why the elite wants it. They don’t want a strong independent nation. They want weak, and powerless people to control.
I was driving home from Japan Day in Auckland this afternoon when I heard an item on the news about the Italians rescuing “a boat of some 1,000 migrants from Libya that had issued a distress call by satellite telephone.”
Something is very wrong with BOTH the Italian’s sense of national preservation AND the reporter’s ability to tell the difference between migrants, illegal aliens, and refugees.
Ain’t that the truth, Odakyu-sen!
Nothing says “running for you life in the dead of night” like having satellite phone.
Thank God for the oceans. We are the envy of many western nations in that regard.
Gantt has fingered one of the problems with contemporary “official” libertarianism. Borders matter, and they will continue to matter for as long as we form nations. Sad to say, I didn’t always grasp this myself.
Demographics is going to make life very difficult for cartographers in the near future.
Borders have a tendency to shift, disintegrate and materialize without our permission, so their necessity to the average Joe is really beside the point, unless of course you command enough men and materials to draw them yourself, as and while you can.
Why would somebody want citizenship in a country without freedom ?

‘The “no jab, no pay” plan, announced by the federal government today, has bipartisan support.
Thousands of families could lose payments, with the government estimating about 39,000 children under seven have not received immunisation because their parents are vaccine objectors.’
BIG BROTHER 1984
Amen.
As stated before, this will be the straw that breaks this particular camel’s back.
If this goes ahead then I will no longer choose to be a “productive” member of the tax-cattle class. Don’t want to hand over a fraction of my tax back unless I submit my kids to your poison?
Fine. I’ll go make some friends on the black market, fuck you very much.
In my state here we split the baby.Vaccinations aren’t mandatory,unless you intend to send your kids to public school.
I am of two minds on this,first I see the objection to mandated vaccinations,but I also see the unquestionable benefits of vaccination and herd immunity.
Polio,smallpox ,typhus,tetanus are all still out there and I would not risk my child’s health over pop culture myths regarding vaccine safety.
I fully intend to vaccinate mine at such time any adverse effects cannot be simply swept under the rug as post-birth “complications”.
But if your kid has the vaccinations there is nothing to be worried about if other kids are not vaccinated .
I think what we have here is the framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reform!!!!
I’m astonished – astonished I tell you – that my fellow Crusaders don’t want our culture over-run by those less evolved. I have this argument all the time with other people I encounter (IRL, not on the blogs). They simply can’t understand that for a person to leave a place and travel to another place, that other place must be inherently better than the place they left, and if they try to change that other place to more closely represent their initial place, then they’re not migrants, but invaders. It goes straight over the heads of most people.
Thanks for the compliment of re-posting my ramble, KG.
Ramble? Ramble?? It ‘s the first sane framework for immigration I’ve seen yet.
It’s pretty easy for us here in these island nations, I reckon. In the good ol’ U(S)SA, it has to start with building a fence. And it seems nobody has hammer and nails.
Either way, step 1 has got to be shooting all the lawyers (which is a pretty good opening sentence for any story).
Incidentally, I watched The Arroyo (made by Bill Whittle’s Declaration Entertainment) over the weekend. What a fantastic movie.
I loved that movie, Gantt.
We need more in a similar vein.
By the way, if you haven’t seen “Harry Brown” yet (Michael Caine) I can recommend it. Old soldier deals with urban scum. It’s been around for a long time now, but nobody I speak to seems to have seen it.
Crowd-funded, zero special effects, strong story-telling, great performances and not a ProgLib studio exec in sight. Just brilliant. And the whole thing was made for US$100k! Mind boggling.
It’s the obvious way to counter the leftist propaganda machine, yet the Repubs seem blind to the opportunity.
Just watched The Arroyo,good flick,would have been better had the crowd at the end lynched the senator though
I recall having an argument with a progressive regarding the buildup of MRAPs in the USA.
Whereas I claimed they were part and parcel of militarizing the police, he claimed they were going to be used to police the southern border.
So I crunched the numbers and asked him a simple question.
“Do you realize they could park all those MRAPS one kilometer apart (ie within plain view of the next one along) and still have a bunch left over?”
Yeah, securing the southern border is not hard. If it’s not being done then it quite deliberate.
To The Gantt Guy ‘s comment I could not have know Darin’s. (April 13, 2015 at 10:10 )
Did not watch The Arroyo yet.
Hurry up
“Do you realize they could park all those MRAPS one kilometer apart (ie within plain view of the next one along) and still have a bunch left over?”
Not worried about MRAPs.those inside have to come out sometime and they are automatics so easy to drive,plus they are usually stuffed with goodies
I know a few guys with tracked dozers.
Placed correctly, I think the MRAP would be in for a very bad day.
Dozers,I’m always reminded of this guy-

I wouldn’t have offed myself though,I would have just surrendered.
