"Almost single-handedly did Duranty aid and abet one of the world's most prolific mass murderers, knowing all the while that was going on but refraining from saying precisely what he knew to be true. He had swallowed the ends-justifies-the-means-argument hook, line and sinker. When Stalin's atrocities were brought to light, Duranty loved to repeat ‘you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.' Those few "eggs" were the heads of men, women and children, and those "few" were merely tens of millions."Mark Y. Herring - Review of S. J. Taylor's Stalin's Apologist: Walter Duranty, the New York Times Man in Moscow, "Contra Mundum" No. 15
...if it could be shown that humanity would live happily ever after if the Jews were exterminated,
there could be no good reason not to proceed with their extermination.
-Bertrand Russell
Mayor Bloomberg says the feds should force struggling cities to take new immigrants - NYPOST.com
Bloomberg spoke at a Midtown forum, timed to the release of a new study titled “Not Coming to America: Why the US is Falling Behind in the Global Race for Talent.”
He was joined on the panel by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas, whose company helped underwrite the research.
The report by the Partnership for New York City and the Partnership for a New American Economy spotlighted failings of US immigration policies that the mayor has been complaining about for years, portraying a nation that’s sitting by idly while competitors around the globe snatch up workers who are most in demand.
The examples were stark: In 1991, some 18 percent of both Canada’s and America’s immigrants were rated as highly skilled; by last year, Canada’s percentage had soared to 67, while the United States was falling further behind, at 13 percent.
The report noted that Canada allows its provinces to set different immigration standards to attract the type of employees each region needs.
The mayor quickly endorsed a similar proposal for US states — and then some.
“There’s no reason why you have to have a common immigration policy for all of America,” he argued. “You could let each state do it differently.
“I would argue the federal government should go one step further. They should deliberately force some places that don’t want immigrants to take them, because that’s the only solution for these big, hollowed-out cities where industry has left and is never going to come back unless you get some people to move there.”
