George W l'historien et le retour du nativisme!


Sincèrement je ne m'y attendais pas... Le Président Bush craint un retour du nativisme, un mouvement du début du siècle dernier qui illustrait la xénophobie ambiante.

Selon Bush:

"What's interesting about our country, if you study history, is that there are some 'isms' that occasionally pop up. One is isolationism and its evil twin protectionism and its evil triplet nativism. So if you study the '20s, for example, there was an American-first policy that said, 'Who cares what happens in Europe?'" Bush said. "And there was an immigration policy that I think during this period argued we had too many Jews and too many Italians, therefore we should have no immigrants. And my point is that we've been through this kind of period of isolationism, protectionism and nativism. I'm a little concerned that we may be going through the same period. I hope that these 'isms' pass."
