The law and the mayor of Cittadella

The Lega Nord mayor of Cittadella, Masimo Bitonci, has found a way to fight the immigrant tide in his ancient walled town. He has enacted a local law to discriminate for productive immigrants. But it seems that more than just the obvious illegals and undesirables find themselves caught by it.

Here’s Al Jezeera (albeit reporting squarely within the usual terms - we get to hear about the nice folks from poor, backward Moldavia denied the chance of a new life, and the fabulous boon their cheap labour would bring to native Italians):-

The Al Jezeera reporter further informs us that, “The idea has now spread to two hundred towns in the (Veneto) region, and dozens more across Italy are interested in adopting the new rules.” All perfectly legal, and there’s nothing central government can do about it.

From John Savage’s “Brave New World Watch” http://bnww.wordpress.com

”Disloyal Geniuses Not Welcome!—January 22, 2008, by John Savage

“I’ve been reading some of Kevin MacDonald’s blog entries recently, and noticed an old VDare article of his that puts the 1924 immigration cut-off in some perspective. MacDonald shows how people who had very positive views of Asian and Jewish abilities were all the more strongly opposed to immigration for those reasons. They argued that it would be all the more difficult for the founding ethnicities to defend their interests in a country full of highly intelligent immigrants.

“That’s something we should keep in mind when people argue that we should oppose illegal immigration (since the illegal immigrants tend to be low-skilled) but support and increase legal immigration of highly-skilled people. We need to ask whose interests these highly-skilled people would be acting in. In addition, how many of them will be using their high intelligence to argue for more immigration several decades down the road?

“Competent people, especially those who expect problems if they don’t balkanize America as much as possible, are at least as dangerous to allow into the country as incompetent ones.”

Unless this walled town has some other restrictions in place, this new move may only serve to make a bad situation worse. They are sayin, in effect, “We only want immigrants who will replace the local population at the top of the pyramid.” I guess they want to follow the US, which has replaced almost all WASP leaders with Jewish ones. Good for the ecohnomeh, dohnchoo know, what.

The arrogance from the onsite reporter is nauseating. She concluded her piece with this little bit of editorializing

“…
It’s doubtful though that a small town mayor and these sturdy walls can prevent the flow of immigrants wanting to live and work in Italy.
...”

And, for now, she’s probably right.

We’ll have to find the gumption to take it up a notch in defense of our own one of these days.
