The third world American Dream is the American Nightmare.
We keep being told that everyone is coming here from the Third World to get his or her peace of the “American Dream.” But the trouble is that different cultures define their dreams differently. Mohammed Atta was following his dream. So are the guys throwing Molotov cocktails at police cars. And Ali Shahid Butt was following his own “American Dream.”
There’s even a news story about it from back in 2016.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen multi-unit franchisee Ali Shahid Butt learned long ago that success in business depends on other people. “Team work makes the dream work,” says Butt, president of AR Group of Restaurants, which operates 25 Popeyes restaurants in 5 states.
Butt and his wife, Arian Rahmani, received the MVP American Dream Award for achieving remarkable success in the United States. Born in Pakistan, he journeyed to the U.S. in 1992, “based on the desire for achievement and success,” he says.
“I don’t think I have reached the American Dream yet, but I am happy with what I have achieved. I remember I was opening my Olden Avenue store and there were lots of hurdles. I remember sitting on the curb across the street wondering if this store would ever open. In the end, everything worked out and when that store opened, I had a feeling of achieving the American Dream.”
Here’s the sequel to Butt’s “American Dream.”
A New Jersey man who owns fast-food restaurants in multiple states pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court today to conspiring to commit tax fraud.
As part of his plea, Ali Shahid Butt, 56, of Princeton Junction, New Jersey, has agreed to pay more than $2.4 million in restitution to the IRS.
With Butt’s knowledge, his franchise co-owners and managers paid certain employees in cash and did not report or pay over tax withholdings for those employees. In many cases, these employees were paid in cash because they were illegal aliens without work authorization.
The third world American Dream is the American Nightmare.

Since he’s shown what he can do, he should set up a similar chain in Pakistan, and then go back there and run it
somehistory says
Once he has paid, he should be made to leave….everything behind except his evil ways and beliefs.
The scum had the idea of taking advantage of all opportunities to cheat, steal and defraud.
Deport him and his wife and any relatives they sponsored to come.

Import the third world, then you get the third world. How utterly stupid the West has been since the 1960s. The Left doesn’t get this at all and many on the Right (e.g., Bush 43) remain insouciantly ignorant.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Or as Andrew Wilkow says, “You cannot keep importing an endless number of people from there to here without ‘here’ becoming ‘there’!”
somehistory says
and that is exactly what they want, except that they want the riches to continue even after they have taken it all, along with the will of the people to keep producing.

Bravo, for speaking the truth. Lately the Right and other •conservatitives’ talk like they are oblivious to the consequences of imigratio of preople who hacve no intension oof assimilating into out country sndoir society. People dead set upon immigrating here in a hijrah to change the host country(us) to the fabric from where they came from. They have no interest in Freedom of Religion for all, Freedom and the Rohts to Life Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness for all, Equal judstice before the law, Equal Rights for Women, Gays, People of Different Religions. Amongst the 56 Muslim Nations these concepts are as foreign as the the Man from Alpha Cenjturi. No they want ius to be them living as if we were out of the 7th Century subject to the progressive laws of Sharia! Beware of what you advocate for Leftists, pseudo-academic and more!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, some Republicans have softened up and think that if an illegal immigrant is non-violent, it’s okay to allow them to stay. Don’t get intimidated by the Billy Eilishes of the world: they’re not gonna vote (R) even if you do everything they want. But you will lose a good segment of your own voters doing it
James Lincoln says
E-Verify needs to be required for all employers.
Wellington says
Strongly seconded.
somehistory says
When I was young and working in the strawberry fields, deputies would often arrive to pick up the illegals working. If the officers found any, they would be arrested and the farmer who hired them would be fined. Large fines and they increased if the farmer kept hiring.
Sometimes, there would be a disclosure from someone that the deputies were coming and the illegals would flee. Where the field would have previously been full of bent backs. suddenly it would be nearly empty of workers.
James Lincoln says
Thanks for your replies Wellington and somehistory.
OLD GUY says
This man and his family are what give immigration a bad name.
Stacy Stegner says
Media,
This man is from Pakistan…
Media speaking on same man
This American committed crime….
Notice if it is feel good story they say how the foreigner…
But if it isn’t… That foreigner is no longer a successful foreigner but an evil American.
John Densler says
What this man id doing is sanctioned in the Koran. If you do not understand, please learn more about Islam fro Dr Bill Watrer’s publications.
Stacy says
I know about the koran. I was speaking on the media here which is in actuality , propaganda.
The media is socialist and anti-Western civilization. They are the “enemy within”.
