VDARE.com has been trying to get an immigration conference together for some time. For discussions of our first and second venue constellations under Leftist pressure, see here and here. Now, here’s the official statement on our third cancelation, in Tucson AZ:
On October 19, 2017, Hilton cancelled our contract to host our 2018 Immigration Reform Conference. After some negotiation, VDARE.com and Hilton have agreed to settle matters arising from Hilton’s termination of its contract for a five-figure sum. This settlement is satisfactory to us, and we look forward to hosting the Immigration Reform Conference at a different venue.
Of course, it’s nice to get money—and to demonstrate again that patriots have legal rights and that corporate caving to Leftist pressure has costs—but we would much prefer to have a conference. And it’s a terrible comment on the emerging Totalitarian Left’s Reign of Terror that a peaceful conference designed basically to discuss the immigration agenda of the President of the United States cannot be held in a state that he carried handily in the 2016 election. (Some small comfort is that these cancellations always produce local expressions of support from Americans who are shocked to realize that they no longer live in the Land of the Free, so they do play a cumulative educational role).
But don’t get demoralized! I expect to announce our next conference venue soon! Read more >>
