A politically conservative co-worker recently assured me that immigrants caused the current economic mess by taking out mortgages that they could not afford. Thankfully a liberal one retorted that there was no way for immigrants to have known that their jobs would be gone, and many of them deported. It was time to breathe a sign of relief. Immigrants may be stupid but they are certainly not schemers and criminals. But the nagging feeling remained. Both the conservative and liberal essentially agreed that immigrants, along with a few other poor natives, were responsible for this mess – albeit for different reasons. So off I went to gather economic ammunition to argue my point of view and defend immigrants. In the process I not only discovered the actual culprits but reassured myself that immigrants were actually the reason why the economy is not in total shambles. It should surprise no proper American wannabe that the actual culprits are Islamists. Yes they are the cause of the present economic mess. In fact they have been the cause of almost all modern economic debacles. No let’s take that a little further back. Islamists have been the reason why the western tip of Eurasia has done all that it has over the past 600 years.
