Do y’all remember what I wrote recently about how India has a serious illegal immigration problem from Bangladesh?

Here is a rather good take on the subject that goes beyond simple anecdotal evidence, from Daniel Greenfield:

India’s 2,582 mile border with Bangladesh is even longer than America’s 1,954 mile border with Mexico.

The two countries are divided not only by that border, but by religion. India has an 80% Hindu majority and a rising 13% Muslim minority. Bangladesh has a 90% Muslim majority. And the tide of Muslim migration from Bangladesh to India began to shift the population balance in some Indian states.

India has spent decades building fences, topping them with barbed wire, and installing lights. The lights are there so that the guards can see. Unlike America, there are guards, they have guns, and they shoot.

What makes America’s border different from those of so many other countries isn’t the lack of fencing. Smugglers, traffickers, and assorted criminals can often find weak points in any security setup. In most countries, the defense of the border is seen as a national security issue backed by real firepower.

America’s Border Patrol has less than 20,000 people. India’s Border Security Force has 186 battalions and 257,363 people. It’s a paramilitary organization with an intelligence network, ten artillery units, air and marine wings, and canine and even camel units. And the weapons aren’t just there for show.

Over 1,000 illegal infiltrators have been killed trying to enter India from Bangladesh in over a decade.

BSF personnel are allowed to shoot on sight. Boats are used to monitor river areas that can’t be fenced in. Air units watch from the sky. And intelligence units gather information on smuggling gangs. The first and final line of defense though comes from men with rifles watching the fences and the shadows.

There is a very great deal wrong with India. It’s a Third World shithole country for many reasons.

Its insistence on defending its own borders from invasion is categorically NOT one of them.

As I pointed out in my last post on the subject, immigrants will always try to travel from their shitholes to other, less shitty, places. This is a universal truth and a global reality. Unless you are originally from Ethiopia or Syria or South Sudan or Afghanistan, there is always someplace less shitty to go to.

So it is with India and Bangladesh.

India has its problems, yes, but Bangladesh is by virtually any reasonable measure even worse off. Like India, it has a huge mass of people – 163 million people packed into less than 144,000 square kilometres, which gives it the 10th highest population density in the entire world. (India, with more than 10 times as many people, ranks 19th in that list, and the USA sits down at 146. Those vast hinterlands of Montana and Wyoming really do make up for the urban disasters like New York City and San Francisco, eh?)

Unlike India, Bangladesh is a majority-Muslim country, and that means that it comes packed full of the delights that come with the great heresy that is Islam – which is to say, a near-total lack of freedom of thought and action, a highly restrictive and thoroughly anti-intellectual culture that treats women like chattel and denies them any kind of serious agency, and a predilection for the very common Asian-Islamic practice of consanguinity, which leads to severe genetic damage and degradation within just a few generations.

As bad as India is, and as bad as West Bengal is by comparison to more prosperous and advanced states in India such as Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh, Bangladesh is much, much worse.

And the manner in which politicians in India have responded to the problems posed by Bangladesh, is instructive.

For the past several years, the state of West Bengal has been ruled over by the Trinamool Congress Party, led by one Mamata Banerjee. Now, I don’t understand the first damned thing about Indian politics, so don’t ask me what she’s all about, or what her political party is about, or why she seems to have a massive ongoing feud with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and his Bharatiya Janata Party. But the plain fact of the matter is that Ms. Banerjee has spent years appealing to the substantial Muslim minority in her state for electoral votes.

And she has done it using many of the same tactics that Daemoncrats in the USA have used to secure power.

In other words, she has tacitly approved of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh coming in to use medical facilities in Calcutta, and has been perfectly happy to accept the money of (relatively) wealthy Bangladeshis who want to come over and spend money on medical care. She has let law and order lapse, relatively speaking, in the Muslim-majority areas of Calcutta – if you spend any serious time in the city, you will know immediately when you are in a Muslim-majority sector, because the streets will be filthy, what few traffic laws exist will not be obeyed, and mosques and minarets will abound across the skyline.

She has fomented religious divisions in the city by telling the Muslims there that they are a persecuted minority and that she will protect them from the central government, which is led by an ardent Hindu nationalist.

And, for a long time, these tactics worked really rather well.

But, like Hispanic-Americans – who, to be clear, aren’t really Americans at all, just as any other form of hyphenated American isn’t an actual American – who came to the USA legally, not a few Muslims in the state of West Bengal are getting tired of seeing their laws broken and their customs disrespected by a very different bunch of Muslims from a very different country.

That helps explain why Ms. Banerjee suffered a serious electoral defeat back in May, and that is why her position of power has been significantly weakened.

This is but one of several lessons to learn from India – a country that was once so poor that American children used to be guilt-tripped into eating their vegetables because kids in India didn’t have enough to eat. (It is still like that, actually. Take my word for it, I know.)

India is willing and able to use force to defend its borders – and does so with gusto. It may not do so particularly competently – just ask any Indian who lives anywhere near the borders with China, Nepal, Bangladesh, or Pakistan – but unlike America, it understands that its military exists to protect its borders.

By contrast, America, even under the magnificent and most auspicious reign of His Most Benevolent and Legendary Astral Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus, quite patently does not use its military to defend its own borders.

This is beyond idiotic. What is the point of having the world’s most advanced and feared fighting force – though it is becoming increasingly clear that the US military is largely a very, very expensive paper tiger these days – if the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard combined cannot defend America’s own southern border?

If such a vast military machine cannot defend America from enemies both foreign and domestic – which is the oath that its members take when they join – then it should be disbanded forthwith. There is literally no need for it.

A Third World shithole with three times the population of America’s is doing a better job of defending its own borders against illegal immigration from a country that it has far more in common with than America does with Mexico. That should tell you something about the sheer incompetence and criminality of America’s ruling classes.

India is also willing, and able, to deport 25-30 MILLION illegal immigrants. That too is highly instructive, because that is very roughly the true number of illegal invaders within the borders of the USA right now.

Every single one of them needs to go. NOW.

Not “after the next election”. Not “in a decade”. Not “after we pass the next amnesty bill”. RIGHT. F***ING. NOW.

They are not Americans. They do not belong in America. The American people have been extremely tolerant, to the point of destroying their own society, to those who invade their country and overrun their borders and bring with them the ways, diseases, blood feuds, and irrational superstitions of the Third World.

India is vastly more crowded, and its government is vastly more incompetent and corrupt and backward, than is the case in America. India is also far, far more divided; it isn’t really one nation, but is actually a whole bunch of squabbling states that are glued together into one mongo nation by a shared history and culture, thanks in very large measure to the efforts of the British.

America, too, was once a collection of squabbling tribes and nations glued together by a shared culture and language. India doesn’t even have a single shared language – yet it has the political will and ability to do what America cannot.

That, in and of itself, should give even the most ardent American patriot reason for worry.

Finally, Indians understand and recognise who is Indian and who is not. Indians are far more tribal than Americans, and make no bones about preferring their own kind over Westerners. This is why, when Indians come to control Western companies – like, say, Google or Intel or Microsoft – they tend to discriminate, HARD, against white Westerners. They justify this by claiming that they were oppressed for a very long time by whites, and now it’s time for payback. The fact that this is a literally childish and thoroughly idiotic line of argument, tends to escape them.

Nonetheless, Indians do recognise their own kind in a way that Americans do not. This is why Americans insist, against all historical evidence to the contrary, that anyone can come to America and “become” American. 

I am from the Dirt World. I came to America. I hold American values nearer and dearer to my heart than most Americans do. I believe that the American Constitution means exactly what it says on the paper and not one word in either the original document or the Bill of Rights is open to “judicial reinterpretation” in any way, shape, or form. I believe in the rights of freeborn Englishmen, and I believe that America was and is the greatest country in the world.

Yet I am not American. Never was. Never will be.

And neither are the tens of millions of legal immigrants who have come to America since 1965.

They do not share American values. They do not have a shared genetic inheritance with Americans. They do not worship the same God, the Father of Jesus Christ, as the original Americans. They do not believe that they should be required to speak English. They do not share American history or culture.

They are not, and never will be, part of the American nation, by any historical, legal, cultural, religious, genetic, or other definition.

Indians understand these concepts. Why is it that Americans do not?

Looking at America’s current problems with its borders through Asian eyes, it is clear to any informed outside observer that Americans these days plainly lack the will to do what desperately needs to be done. America isn’t even one united nation anymore, given how fast it is tearing itself apart at the seams.

But it is strange indeed to see that India, a nation that is backward, poor, corrupt, divided, beholden to the vagaries of a pagan faith, and weighed down by the inertia of a vast population, is doing a better job of protecting its own borders and way of life than the richest and most powerful country in the world.
