Re: Honour Killings on the rise in Canada.

We in Canada, like the rest of the western world, have been fed a
line
for decades. That multiculturalism is good for us.

by who?

In the Western nations they consistently oppose all organizations
seeking to preserve the interests and heritage of Europeans. Likewise,
in non-European nations, they consistently work to break down the
solidarity and homogeneity of the prominent ethnic group.

They have made a concerted effort to control the American immigration
system and defeat restrictionist legislation. In 1921, 1924, and 1952,
Congress passed legislation that simply attempted to maintain the
racial/ethnic status quo in America. Interestingly enough, even though
Anglo Americans were in a vast majority of the American population as
well as in Congress, they did not attempt to increase their own
percentage of the American population, but simply sought to fairly
maintain each group's status quo. In the early legislative battles,
they were the leading advocates of open immigration and vehemently
opposed legislation that would maintain America as an ethnically
European nation. In the House of Representatives, Adolph Sabath,
Samuel Dickstein, and Emanuel Celler led the fight for unrestricted
immigration, while in the Senate, Herbert Lehman and in later years
Jacob Javits coordinated the effort.
