Immigration, Not Afghanistan, Has Been Our Longest War—and Complete, Possibly Terminal, Failure of Democracy
30th August 2021
You’ve been hearing a lot recently about how Afghanistan has been America’s Longest War. No: Immigration has been our Longest War, ours and Britain’s. From the Hart-Celler Immigration Act to today: 56 years. From Enoch Powell’s famous speech urging immigration restriction to today: 53 years. There have been some small victories for common sense this month. But also bad news. The whole experience has been a complete, and possibly terminal, failure of Democracy.
Enoch Powell was the first guy ever Cancelled for ThoughtCrime.
