James Edwards Quotes
The reason that America was a First World nation was that we had a First World population, and as we continue to be inundated with people from Third World nations, we are going to become a Third World nations….Desperate situations call for rash actions!
This veiled endorsement of violence against immigrants is typical of Edwards whose show is funded by notorious hate groups. His knowledge of history leaves much to be desired. America was not accepted as a First World power for quite a while—especially by the First World nations of Europe. In 1900 Argentina was a richer country than the United States. The great growth in American wealth, culture and power took place in the 20th century with the help of large immigrations of the “dregs of Europe” and elsewhere. The Irish, Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Chinese, Croations, Mexicans were all immigrants from other than the First World yet it was they who helped make America a First World nation.

He was referring to North African and other third world immigrants. France’s second largest ethnic group had become Muslims from North Africa. But they were only 10 percent of the population.

The KKK were riling up the white shrimpers because Vietnamese-American fishermen were fishing in ‘their waters”.

Some of the Vietnamese-American fisherman had fought agaist the Viet Cong in Vietnam before coming to American and they armed themselves with shotguns and rifles, Faced with legal and possible violent resistance, Beam and the Klansmen disappeared from the area.
This quotation was a comment on the Donald Trump Ban on Muslim Travel to the US from 7 Islamic countries. Trump, when campaigning for the Presidency, was masterful in appealing to the nativist inclined people of both political parties. He had promised to ban all Muslims from entering the country. When he got elected, he issued an executive order banning Muslims from 7 countries from U.S. entry, There had been a substnatial number of Americans killed by Islamic Terrorists in 9-11 and other acts, and this was the rathional for the Muslim ban. However, of the Americans who had been killed or wounded by Muslim visitors, none of them had been killed by any from the 7 countries that were banned. Thousands had been killed by Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan, Yet there was no ban on those coutnries. The problem did not exist in the countries that were banned. The Trump motive for this irrational Executive order has never been clear but many thought that he felt he had to look like he was keeping his campaign pledge, and since we did much business with the 3 nations from which the terrorists actually came, while the 7 counties he banned had little or no economic impact on the United States, Some critics ascribed the decision to the fact that Trump personally had substantial business ventures in all of the 3 countries that had produced and on many ways supported the terrorists, but he had no business interests in teh 7 countries upon which he placed the ban. Unlike otehr post 19th century Presidents, Trump refused to divest his ownership of his busineeses, and even refused to place them in a blind trust. A few days after the Executive Order was put into effect, a Federal Judge issues an injuunction to cease enforcing the order until the issue of unConstitutional religious discrimination could be heard. He ruled that there was irreparal harm and the Attorney General of Washinton State who filed the suit was likely to prevail.
This quotation is a wonderful use of sarcasm to make an important point in just a few words.
The congressman was distraught with the national immigration picture at that time. He believed that the influx of Hispanic immigrants into the United States would radically change the culture and the immigrant culture would then predominate. Throughout American history with every wave of immigration, there have been fears expressed about the culture of America. The Irish immigration, the Scandinavians, the Germans, Italians, Jews, the Chinese—all engendered fear that they would “take over” and radically change the country. The reality is that none of them took over but all made some changes and influenced cultural direction of the nation. The congressman was repeating an old refrain.
Internal population movement was tightly controlled in China for fear that the huge body of rural peasants would swamp, seeking economic opportunity, the cities. In 2000 the Chinese were debating the wisdom of this policy. See Mau Yushi. “Rice Bowl” is a Chinese euphemistically used to mean “job and and a standard of living.”
