Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole (2 page)

Americans are perfectly happy to do all manner of jobs—they just won’t do them for $7.00 an hour. Unions used to care about that, but now they just want political power. Greedy businessmen: What do you think the business climate will be like under a government run by AFSME?

       
   
Amnesty will be fantastic for the economy.

Unless we’re talking about the Mexican economy, this is patently ridiculous. Adding another 30 million poor, unskilled, non-taxpaying, welfare-receiving
people to America is good only for government workers and employers who refuse to mechanize their operations or pay Americans one dollar more.

       
   
Obama is the “Deporter in Chief”—he’s deported more than Bush!

To the contrary, Obama is deporting far fewer illegal aliens than Bush—and that wasn’t a high bar. The Obama administration simply changed the definition of “deport” to include “illegal aliens turned away at the border.” It’s as if a school lowered the definition of “passing grade” from 70 to 40, then bragged about its high graduation rate.

       
   
Hispanics will never vote for Republicans unless they pass amnesty.

First of all, moron Republicans: If they can’t vote, they can’t vote against you. Voting machines don’t register angry glints in people’s eyes. Second, Hispanics who are citizens don’t care about amnesty! They’re already in. They vote 8–2 for the Democrats because they like big government. That’s why Obama’s Spanish-language ads during the 2012 campaign didn’t say word one about amnesty. Instead, he promised Hispanics free healthcare under Obamacare.

       
   
“Comprehensive immigration reform” isn’t amnesty.

And abortion isn’t “abortion,” it’s “choice”!

The problems stemming from unchecked immigration are all over the news. You’ll just never be told they
are
problems of immigration—children living in poverty, childhood obesity, teen pregnancy, out-of-wedlock births,
¹
abysmal high school dropout rates,
²
income inequality, “homegrown” terrorists, massive Medicare frauds, internet crime, identity
theft, prison overcrowding, the vast number of uninsured used to justify Obamacare,
³
sex trafficking, the epidemic of child rape, the destruction of our national parks, drunk driving casualties, drug-resistant tuberculosis, measles and other viral outbreaks, bankrupt government pensions, lower reading and math scores, and shorter “Americans.”

Are these problems made better or worse by mass immigration from the Third World? The fact that Hispanics have the highest unmarried birthrate in the country—even higher than American blacks—accounts for a raft of social problems that are discussed ad infinitum by the media, but that will never be identified as the consequence of mass immigration.

A nation’s immigration policies are at least as important as, say, going to war. But the media have decided that who gets to live in America is none of America’s business. The public can’t be trusted with the truth. Go back to the kids’ table. The grown-ups are deciding this. Anyone who challenges the elite consensus on immigration will be swarmed with blitzkrieg attacks. It can be difficult to discuss America’s immigration policies when it’s considered racist merely to say, “We liked America the way it was.”

There’s no sense in arguing about any other political issue. If we lose immigration, we lose everything.

THE ISSUE THAT WON’T GO AWAY: SHOULD DEMOCRATS BE GIVEN 30 MILLION NEW VOTERS?

The media convince people to believe lies by the simple process of repetition: Diversity is a strength! We’re a nation of immigrants! It’s a crisis to have people living in the shadows! If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit! It’s like the hypnotic repetitions drilled into infants’ sleeping brains 150 times a night, three times a week, in
Brave New World
.

By neurotic perseveration, mass-immigration proponents have completely moved the goalposts. After Reagan’s amnesty, no one talked about allowing
new
illegal aliens to stay. The only issue was: When are we
going to get started on those promised employer sanctions and securing the southern border? Now we’re told we have to both allow new people in and amnesty the illegal immigrants already here. We’re getting the exact same arguments that were made for the old amnesty, but this time with attitude:
Wait a minute—you’re not seriously telling me that you don’t want to give amnesty to the people already here?
To which Republican politicians whimper:
We hope we’re not inconveniencing you by not moving more quickly to forgive you for the laws you broke, illegal aliens.

I don’t mean to be obtuse, but why is it a crisis that illegal aliens are “living in the shadows”? I forget. We need to bring in more people who will drive down the wages of our fellow Americans because—why again? It is not a crisis for Americans that other people have come into their country illegally and now find it uncomfortable to be living here breaking the law. It’s
supposed
to be uncomfortable to break the law. Perhaps illegal aliens should have considered that before coming.

Americans are being asked to respond to the world’s oldest joke: A guy kills his parents, then throws himself on the court’s mercy as an orphan. How
did
all these illegal aliens get into “the shadows” in the first place? They weren’t kidnapped and dragged across the border. They came here. At most—and this is dubious—it’s a crisis for the illegal immigrants. But “living in the shadows” is evidently better than living in Guadalajara, otherwise, there’s an easy solution. Living in the shadows doesn’t seem to be much of a crisis even for them.

Historically, Democrats have found it fun and profitable to bully Republicans into taking suicidal positions. This latest push for amnesty is approximately the Republicans’ fifth mugging. As with all disastrous legislation, Republicans are being told, “We have got to do this yesterday!”
If we don’t produce a global warming bill, the American people will have our heads! If we don’t pass campaign finance reform tomorrow, the voters will punish us! You’re not seriously thinking of blocking a new gun control bill, are you?
It always turns out, no, there’s no backlash. The only politician who was ever punished for his position on global warming was Al Gore.
Debate any urgent liberal demand long enough, and the problem usually just goes away.
