EAU member returns from Third World with this report
One advantage of being part of a hard-working family is that I am lucky enough to occasionally go on family vacations. This past month, my family and I traveled to Costa Rica for ten days.
Now, before I go on, I ought to give you all a little background information about myself. I have been racially conservative for approximately four years now. An extremely unfortunate incident involving the violent murder of a beloved high school teacher made me radically reevaluate and realign my previous outlook on all issues, specifically those of race, culture, and nationhood.
So I am yet a budding race realist, but I consider myself endlessly fortunate to have aligned myself with the growing racialist movement this early on.
This trip to Costa Rica was the first trip to a third world nation which I could analyze from a racially conservative perspective. I made a surprising amount of relevant observations during my time in this subtropical country in Latin America.
While I wasn’t in the thick of the urban jungles of San Jose, I did get a decent look at the native population of Costa Ricans. I was surprised to learn that Costa Rica has no standing military of any sort; it was abolished in 1948 after the civil war there. Any armed forces in the nation are now delegated to fighting crime, specifically related to narcotics, border patrol, and ground security.

As conservatives, we lament the number of illegal immigrants that slip past our border patrols. While Costa Rica does not have the elaborate electronic border surveillance that the United States has, they still treat their border security with all seriousness. Nicaraguans especially like to come to Costa Rica illegally, whether to find cheap work or to commit crimes like narcotics trafficking (sound familiar??). During my family’s travels, we briefly crossed into Nicaragua. Near the Nicaraguan border was a checkpoint on the (only) road leading to our destination. Guards with imposing assault rifles (they looked like Israeli-made Galils in passing) were checking those cars which were coming in. Our vehicle, which belonged to a well-known touring agency, was allowed passage. It was clear from the guards’ weaponry and seriousness that they did not tolerate any criminal activity from foreigners trying to sneak across the border. Of course, Costa Rica’s immigration problem is very much dwarfed by the immigration disasters in the West (the US and Europe); however, Costa Rica seems to have acknowledged the problem and have used their armed forces to stop illegal immigration.
If only our elected officials would do the same in our country, instead of essentially castrating every bill meant to secure the borders. People balk at the notion of putting heavily-armed patrols on our borders (“Racist! Intolerant! Bigoted!”), the borders to the most powerful nation on earth, while the Costa Ricans, who don’t even have a standing military, do what they can with what they have to stop illegal immigration. Instead of guarding their precious civilizations and cultures from dilution, corruption, and destruction, the Europeans have thrown open the gates, letting essentially anyone and everyone in.
If there’s something that the West can learn from Costa Rica during these times, it’s this: there’s no excuse for not using every resource under a government’s jurisdiction to secure the borders. Stop being afraid to enforce our national sovereignty and security with force, if necessary. It’s a sad fact that the alleged most powerful nation in the world cannot (and will not) even secure its own borders from third-world invaders.
