Will DEI End America - or Will America End DEI?

By: Victor Davis Hanson, Am Greatness — March 25th 2024 at 07:26
At the nexus of most of America's current crises, the diversity/equity/inclusion dogma can be found. The southern border has been destroyed because the Democratic Party wanted the poor of the southern hemisphere to be counted in the census, to vote if possible in poorly audited mail-in elections, and to build upon constituencies that demand government help. Opposition to such cynicism and the de facto destruction of enforcement of U.S. immigration law is written off as "racism," "nativism," and "xenophobia."
