That comment was in response to the latest (this time failed) terror attack in a Brussels train station yesterday.
He went on to say: “Demography explains most of everything.”
Yes, agreed Carlson.
Steyn related his comment as well to the close Georgia House race yesterday to explain that demographic changes in Georgia made it possible for a progressive to even think he had a chance to pull off an upset there. (Georgia is a leading refugee resettlement state, btw).
Steyn told Carlson in a two minute portion of a longer segment that when your city (in this case Brussels) is 25% Muslim because your country has made the fatal mistake to think that you can replace an aging population with a hostile culture, the country will see increased tension and chaos. In my view, it will ultimately collapse into an Islamic state.
Carlson asked about Japan, and Steyn told him that Japan has chosen to NOT invite in the third world, that saving their unique Japanese culture was more important to them. Only time will tell if the Japanese (and the Poles, the Czechs and the Hungarians) can do it. As I have said repeatedly, only one way to save western societies (and countries like Japan), in addition to limiting immigration, encourage our women to have babies—lots and lots of babies!

Update: Story being dropped “like a hot brick” here at WND!
Diversity is supposed to be beautiful, right? Immigrants who come to the great American melting pot are supposed to love and respect multiculturalism, right? Unlike in Europe, we do everything to foster ‘assimilation’ of races, religions and cultures, right?
Well, here is a case that goes so far against the Left’s message that many predict it will disappear so fast you will think you imagined it … This is not supposed to happen!
It is just run-of-the-mill road rage says Fox 5headline:
Man charged with murder of Muslim teen; road rage appears to have led to killing, police say
HERNDON, Va. – A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder after police say he killed a 17-year-old Reston girl whose body was found in a pond hours after being reported missing during an early morning road rage incident in Virginia.
Fairfax County Police say the victim, Nabra Hassanen, was with a group of teenagers of about 15 people walking and riding their bikes along Dranesville Road from a McDonald’s restaurant at around 3:40 a.m. Sunday. The group got involved in a dispute with the driver of a vehicle after they attended an overnight event at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center, a mosque located in Sterling and is one of the largest mosque in the country.
Police say a teenage boy got into an argument with the driver, identified as 22-year-old Darwin Martinez Torres.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement regarding Torres [guess this means he was not a DACA darling?—ed]
“On June 19, ICE lodged a detainer on Darwin Martinez Torres, a citizen and national of El Salvador, with the Adult Detention Center in Fairfax, Virginia. ICE lodges detainers on aliens who have been arrested on local criminal charges when the agency has probable cause to believe an alien is removable from the United States. Mr. Martinez Torres has no prior encounters with ICE.”
[….]
On Monday afternoon, Fairfax County police say the killing appears to be the result of a road rage incident and they have no evidence that Hassanen was targeted.
“No evidence has been recovered that shows this was a hate crime,” said Fairfax County police spokesperson Julie Parker. “Nothing indicates that this was motivated by race or by religion.”
However, Mahmoud Hassanen, the victim’s father believes otherwise and says his daughter was targeted because she is Muslim.
Just a reminder readers that this is Virginia, a leading diversity-is-beautiful state if there ever was one! You can tell the authorities are working overtime to keep a lid on the story.
This is a story, not about refugees, but one about the idea that we can continue to pour immigrants (legally and illegally) of all sorts in to the US at such a rate that the tensions will inevitably build and become so disruptive to the social order that civil unrest is inevitable.
If you see more on this case going forward, please send links my way.
….and some plan to stay in Syria!
So, good news on World Refugee Day, right! Syrians want to go home, so why is the UN distributing them around the world?
From Reuters (hat tip: Diane):
Carrying suitcases, shopping bags and toddlers, thousands of refugees walked back home into Syria from Turkey on Thursday ahead of the Eid festival that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Turkey has taken in some 3 million Syrian migrants since the start of civil war in 2011, making it home to the world’s largest refugee population.
Now Ankara is giving Syrian refugees the right to return to Turkey within a month if they want to go home to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
Some said they wanted to start again in their homeland, and would return within the month if it did not work out, while others said they wanted to return to Syria for good, citing the difficulty of finding employment in Turkey.
[….]
Authorities did not give any figures on how many Syrians have returned so far. A Reuters witness said at least 3,000 people crossed on foot through the dusty Cilvegozu border crossing into Syria during several hours on Thursday.
[….]
The offer to return applies to Syrian nationals with valid travel documents who cross through the Cilvegozu and Oncupinar border gates, authorities said. The Eid al-Fitr holiday begins on June 25. Those who wish to return can do so until July 14.
Anyone who comes back after that will be treated as new arrival and subject to the regular immigration process, a local official at the Hatay governor’s office said.
[….]
Authorities say thousands of Syrians have since returned to Syrian towns freed from Islamic State.
So that must mean it wasn’t Bashar al-Assad’s government they were running from in the first place! More here.
You should know that the majority of the refugees being processed in to the US right now, by the Trump State Department, are coming in through Turkey.
See processing country map below from Wrapsnet:
The first World Refugee Day was held on June 20th, 2001 (3 months before 9/11) and it is used as a focal point, for open borders activists and leftwing media, around which to organize a political message. So, you have probably noticed many stories in the last few days about the need for more third world peoples to be admitted to the first world.
You likely know, but here (below) is a handy graphic to confirm that the US takes the majority of the refugees that the UNHCR is selecting for western countries from their camps.(BTW, recently a Somali man wrote to me to tell me about the fraud in a UN camp in Africa where people were being paid off to move certain applications to the front of the line. Of course, I have no way of verifying this.) If you are scratching your head and saying, but doesn’t Germany take the most? the answer is that Germany is being flooded by ‘asylum seekers’ and economic migrants who have gone there on their own steam. They are not considered third country refugee resettlement cases.
Germany will presumably sort through the hundreds of thousands of Africans and Middle Easterners and make a determination about how many will be given permanent residence as legitimate refugees and ultimately citizenship.
Favorite Open Borders talking point: small neighboring countries (to Syria) take more refugees.
When you see stories about Turkey (I’m posting one shortly) and their millions (?) of Syrian refugees, remember those are NOT people going to be granted permanent resident (citizenship) status in Turkey, likewise those in Lebanon or Jordan will not become voting citizens of those countries.
Resettled UNHCR refugees will be given citizenship in the country in which they are placed, so for this the United States is destination number one!
According also to IRIN yesterday, Canada is going to take up some of the 2017 slack that meany Donald Trump is supposedly responsible for. Go for it Justin, let’s just make sure our northern border is secure!
Thanks to reader Denise for making a very cool flyer to remind you to call your Washington representatives to counter the lobbying campaign by the refugee industry this week. They are ginning-up thousands of calls to Congress in advance of World Refugee Daytomorrow.
This is a very handy way to get the phone numbers for your representatives. I just tried it, and in addition to my reps in Washington, I received phone numbers for my state reps too! Post is filed in ‘What can you do’ because you asked!
