American Women Are Not Concerned Enough About Mass Immigration

As a woman, wife, and particularly a mother, I have long found myself concerned with the multifaceted issue of mass immigration. I should also add, though it is not a popular sentiment in nationalist circles at times, that I feel great sympathy for the masses of people who come to the West seeking a better life. One of the reasons I write for White Papers is that this institute has attempted to find a “better way” where underdeveloped nations could receive support from the West and take back the tens of millions of non-Westerners who have come to Europe and North America over the past 60-odd years.

With all of that said, I cannot help but feel that most women, even most right-wing or conservative women, are not nearly concerned enough with the issue of mass immigration.

Mass immigration poses a threat to our public services (of which women are the primary beneficiaries), a threat to the prosperity of our children, a threat to our jobs and the jobs of our spouses, and a threat to the cultural underpinnings of the West. Cultural underpinnings which have made Western civilization the best place for women to live in all of human history.

Cultural Identity and Community

One of my primary concerns revolves around cultural identity and practices. Our communities are often a tapestry woven from shared values, traditions, and histories. As but one example, the West has never had a significant history of marriage within close families. Cousin marriages were much more rare than ‘popular history’ beliefs make it out to be and today it is entirely unheard of in Western families. Meanwhile, Pakistani families regularly intermarry with first cousins and even, occasionally, among siblings.

Western marriage also involves a great deal more equality and respect between partners than marriages in any other part of the world. Thousands of women in Pakistan are killed each year by their spouses while the United Nations has found that over half the women in South Asian communities report sexual violence of some form.

One map I found particularly telling is this resource from Wikipedia [Epidemiology of domestic violence, Accessed October 28, 2024] which shows female physical security around the world. Almost the entire globe is dark green, indicating that women lack physical security, except for North American and Western Europe.

One source even shows that a majority of women (upwards of 80%) in Egypt feel that not only is the beating of a wife common in their society, but that those beatings are justified if a woman does something such as refuse sex to her husband.

And none of this even begins to get into the child soldiers of Latin America, or the prevalence of female genital mutilation across Africa.

But what is most concerning, besides the plight of these women, is that we are rapidly importing these populations and their cultural proclivities into the West. Europe has experienced a surge in child marriages among the Arab refugee population, according to the Harvard International Review. In the United States the University of Texas at San Antonio reports that upwards of 80% of Latino youth experience some kind of childhood trauma, a statistic I don’t find surprising when considering that Mexico leads the world when it comes to beheadings and violence against children dominates cultural norms in Latin America according to a United Nations Report.

These are behaviors we are importing en masse into the West through ongoing mass immigration and therefore will be exposing our women and children to. In fact, some Western women have already been killed at the hands of their refugee boyfriends and many White children have found themselves the victims of violent bullying by recent immigrants.

Economic Impact and Job Security

From a pragmatic standpoint, the economic implications of mass immigration cannot be ignored. Many working-class individuals, particularly women, face stiff competition for jobs as a result of increased labor supply. They also compete with our spouses, as a recent New York Times piece explained as it covered the recent surge of female immigrant workers into the US construction industry.

Despite all of these ‘hardworking immigrants’ and their thrust into the American labor market they will still never be net contributors to our society. Native born Americans will only use 95% of the benefits they pay into social security. Leaving a small but healthy surplus for the future of the program.

While foreign born workers will collect up to 120% of the benefits they pay in, representing a major deficit for the program, according to a study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

The Center for Immigration Studies also shows us that as many as 50% of all immigrant households, including 55% of all non-citizen led households in the US receive some form of welfare benefit in the United States. Just 32% of native born American households receive any kind of state welfare benefit.

Excluding the earned income tax credit just 28% of native born households make use of the welfare state, while 45% of immigrant households, and 51% of non-citizen households, still collect on some other form of state benefit.

And to compound the issue only 14% of immigration to the United States is even based upon employment, the remaining 86% is overwhelmingly composed of family members of immigrants.

The American state is importing people to compete for housing, services, and jobs against women, our spouses, and our children. This should be of much more concern to the average American woman than issues such as abortion, female ‘representation,’ or niche LGBTQ identity complaints.

While immigrants often fill crucial roles, there is a legitimate concern that an oversaturated job market can drive down wages and limit opportunities for local workers. It’s crucial to advocate for policies that prioritize job security for all, especially in vulnerable sectors where competition can be fierce.

Conclusion:

I take the Ann Coulter position espoused in Adios America: that we need to shut down the entire immigration apparatus and understand what in the world is going on before we admit a single additional immigrant, legal or illegal, into this country.
