THE END OF AMERICA WON’T BE TELEVISED
THIS IS “GOODBYE,” AMERICA. ADIOS. PAALAM NA.
No further warning will be issued.
For forty years, the people have tried to tell politicians they want less immigration, but the politicians won’t listen. Every single elite group in America is aligned against the public—the media, ethnic activists, big campaign donors, Wall Street, multimillionaire farmers, and liberal “churches.” They all want mass immigration from the Third World to continue. Both political parties connive to grant illegal aliens citizenship and bring in millions more legally, and the media hide the evidence.
Their game plan is: Never allow an honest debate on immigration. On every other important subject, both sides can be heard. The media are against pro-lifers, but it’s possible to hear the pro-life side—from churches, pro-life organizations, and the alternative press. The mainstream media neurotically push global warming, but, on the other side, we have the entire conservative media, MIT scientists, and even some lefties, like the late Alexander Cockburn of the Nation magazine. There was no difficulty getting both sides of the debate on the Iraq War, Obamacare, the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, and any number of other hot-button issues.
Only in the case of immigration is the public systematically lied to from every major news outlet. The media lie about everything, but immigration constitutes their finest hour of collective lying. They know their ideas on the topic are not popular. How immigration is changing our country is a lot more important than most of the “news” we hear about endlessly. The media will pound away at Chris Christie’s “Bridgegate,” apocryphal fraternity rapes, the Augusta National Golf Club’s membership policies, “white privilege,” four Americans killed in Syria, and the sexual preferences of various Olympic athletes. But getting the truth about immigration is nearly impossible.
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.
The mass migration of the poorest of the poor to America is bad for the whole country, but it’s fantastic for Democrats. Ask yourself: Which party benefits from illiterate non-English speakers who have absolutely no idea what they’re voting for, but can be instructed to learn certain symbols? The foreign poor are prime Democratic constituents because they’re easily demagogued into tribal voting. A white person can vote Republican or Democratic without anyone saying to him, “HOW CAN YOU VOTE AGAINST YOUR RACE?” By contrast, every nonwhite person is required to vote Democrat. Republicans’ whispering sweet nothings in Hispanic ears isn’t going to change that. Voting Democratic is part of their cultural identity. Race loyalty trumps the melting pot.
Moreover, poor people are never opposed to big government because they’re exempt from all the annoying things that government does. They’re not worried about taxes: The government is not going to raise any taxes that they pay. They drive unlicensed cars, have no insurance, flee accidents, and couldn’t pay a court judgment anyway. The government doesn’t want to get in touch with the poor for any reason other than to give them things. So it’s lucky, in a way, that Democrats are the party of government workers. Unending immigration means we need rafts of government workers to educate non-English speakers, teach cultural sensitivity classes, arrest criminals, man prisons, clean up parks, distribute food stamps, arrange subsidized housing, and work in hospital emergency rooms to deliver all those premature babies.
Democrats love the “browning of America” because they need the votes; liberals want it because they seek the destruction of America; and certain business interests support it because they want the cheap labor. They think: Subsidizing my cheap labor with immigrant workers will cost everybody—and we’re part of “everybody”—but the benefits of cheap labor go JUST TO US!
If businessmen think immigrants are going to be libertarians, they’re out of their minds. Look at their home countries! Immigrants have always favored the Democratic Party, but Mexicans can be counted on to develop into a voting bloc that will remain poor and in need of government assistance for generations. Also, it’s part of Mexican culture to bloc-vote for useless left-wing parties. Despite scandals, corruption, and economic failure, the Institutional Revolutionary Party ruled Mexico for seventy-one straight years. Seventy-one years! Even African Americans haven’t been bloc-voting for the Democrats that long.
What will happen when people who come from countries where tax evasion is a way of life are supposed to pay taxes? What’s going to happen when a mostly white senior population is being supported by a mostly brown younger population? Whose taxes will be raised to make up the shortfall? Not the people who don’t pay any taxes at all. Employers don’t care. They want the cheap labor NOW. American businesses are like sharks: All appetite, no brain. They’re willing to screw over everyone in their line of sight to make one more dollar in profit. We’re seeing exactly what Lenin is supposed to have said about capitalists: They will sell us the rope with which to hang them.
Everyone who supports our current immigration policies does so for his own reason:
+Democrats for the votes;
+Employers for the cheap labor;
+Rich people for the nannies, maids, and gardeners;
+Republicans for the campaign cash;
+and Churches for the taxpayer money.
You will notice that none of these reasons has anything to do with what’s good for the country. An immigration law premised on the idea that America owes the rest of the world would be bad enough. But Third World immigration + massive welfare state + political correctness = The End of America. We not only favor immigrants as different from us as possible, but we no longer ask anything of immigrants in terms of assimilation. We can’t. That would be “racist.”
To paraphrase what President Bush used to say about terrorists: The anti-amnesty side has to be perfect every time; the pro-amnesty side only has to win once. And then the country is finished. There won’t be any reason to care about politics, anymore. At least I can finally clean out my attic.
Any other bad law can be repealed. Roe v. Wade can be overturned. Obamacare can be repealed. Amnesty is forever.
