Jindal: ‘That’s Not Immigration…That’s Colonization’

On the Family Research Council’s “Washington Watch” broadcast Tuesday, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal addressed the issue of radical Islam in America, particularly in immigrant communities that refuse to assimilate to American culture.

Jindal’s comments came in response to host Tony Perkins’ questions about Jindal’s recent remarks on "so-called 'no-go' zones" and the threat of radical Islam in the West, which earned him criticism from the left. Jindal told Perkins that immigrants intending to come to America to “change our fundamental culture and our values” was “not immigration” but, rather, “colonization” and would likely lead to "lone wolf" attacks as has just occurred in Paris:

Jindal: One of the great things about America is it doesn’t matter if you were here in the first five minutes or a hundred years. We have folks who come here, want to be Americans, they join our military, they start companies, they work to create a better community. And that’s wonderful.

But what’s not acceptable is people that want to come and conquer us. That’s not immigration, by the way, that’s colonization. If someone wants to come here and change our fundamental culture and our values. If they want to come here and they want to set up their own culture and values that’s not immigration, that’s really invasion if you’re honest about it. Of course, the politically correct crowd when you say things like they’ll call you racist but this is a particular threat we face. And if we’re not serious about this we’re going to see more lone wolf actors. We’re gonna see more folks come into our country just like you’ve seen in other countries — the horrific shootings in Paris.

As TruthRevolt reported in September, a recent study by the Center for Immigration Studies found that the number of immigrants coming from the Middle East more than doubled those coming from Central America. The study found that 2,480,407 immigrants from Muslim-majority countries currently reside inside the U.S., which constitutes a 63% increase since 2000. Between 2010 and 2013, the number increased by 300,000. Between 2010 and 2013, 207,758 immigrants moved to the U.S. from the Middle East, a 13% growth.
