Belgium Population Explains eID

[reporter]

I should probably supply the following information as an anonymous writer. Belgium has a large foreign population. Most of them hail from cultures where abridging civil rights and, in general, human rights is viewed in a positive light. Since Belgium is a democracy, its government and its laws will reflect the wishes of its large foreign population.

Hence, Belgians wholeheartedly embrace the eID, a clear violation of privacy and a technology that would cause Beijing and Pyongyang to salivate.

One reputable analyst, Barbara Simpson, noted that the foreign-born population (including those with Belgian citizenship) now exceeds the native-born population. I have been trying to track down this statistic. Perhaps, someone in Slashdot can help me.

What is happening in Belgium, with its accelerating destruction of Western values and Western society, is merely a foreshadowing of what will happen to the USA if we do not control our borders. When I attend meetings of Amnesty International at my local university, I see many foreign students, but virtually none from China (which includes Taiwan province and Hong Kong). As the large Chinese communities in the USA will attest, most of the foreign students will remain permanently in the USA and will significantly impact the Western values in this country.

I fear for the future of America.
