Vox Popoli: A strange, newfound respect

Rod Dreher is on a roll.

Donald Trump, in his rough way, is right:

President Donald Trump, during a White House Cabinet meeting Wednesday, said he wants to terminate the Diversity Visa Lottery, a program that distributes around 50,000 visas to countries where there is a low rate of immigration to the US.


“I am, today, starting the process of terminating the diversity lottery program,” Trump said, seated next to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. “I am going to ask Congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program, diversity lottery, diversity lottery. Sounds nice, it is not nice, it is not good. It hasn’t been good and we have been against it.”


He added: “We’re going to quickly as possible get rid of chain migration and move to a merit-based system.”


Trump added that based on preliminary information, the attacker in New York “was the point of contact, the primary point of contact for, and this is preliminarily, 23 people, that came in or potentially came in with him and that is not acceptable.”

Of course the God-Emperor is right. The USA has to get rid of a) birthright citizenship, b) chain migration, c) dual nationality, and d) post-1965 immigrants and their descendants if it is going to survive intact.

Which is why it probably won't. But it's not over until it is actually over.

It is amusing how Dreher still has to qualify that he does not approve of the God-Emperor's tone. After all, saving the nation would be so much more palatable if it were done wearing the proper bowtie.
