Americans are “legally” being done out
of their jobs. They’re “legally” being pushed into socialism. And they’re
“legally” having their culture stolen away. Yet much more than this went
unmentioned during Tuesday’s debate.
“Think
about the families!” cried Kasich, alluding to family unification. “C’mon,
folks!” Okay, c’mon, let’s think about families.
The “families” argument is pure propaganda.
Families can also be united by sending people the other way -- back to their
native countries, where most family members often are in the first
place. Second, the families argument could be used as a pretext for
not enforcing any law. Why imprison people for bank robbery or embezzlement? If
they have children, the kids will be left without a parent, or even parentless
and have to languish in foster care. And as with illegals, many other law-breakers
engage in their crimes “because they want a better life.” How many mafia
figures didn’t use their ill-gotten gains to support their families?
Moreover,
failure to enforce immigration law is discriminatory. If such law can be
flouted with impunity, why should any of us have to follow the law? The amnesty
crowd are essentially creating a privileged group -- illegal migrants -- who
alone will get a pass on their criminality. Is unfair discrimination
compassionate?..............
Having said all this, none of the above
addresses our main “legal” problem: legal immigration. Since the Immigration
Reform and Nationality Act of 1965, 85 percent of our immigrants have hailed
from the Third World and Asia; 70 to 90 percent of those vote for socialistic
candidates upon being naturalized. This is a universal Western phenomenon, mind
you, and was actually referenced by Labour Party operative Andrew Neather. A
former aide to ex-British prime minister Tony Blair, he
admitted in 2009 that the massive immigration into the United Kingdom
over the last 15 years was designed to “rub the Right's nose in diversity and
render their arguments out of date.”
Yet such schemes wouldn’t be possible
had Westerners, including conservative ones, not fallen victim to
“immigrationism”: the idea that immigration is always good, always necessary
and must be unquestioned. The reality?
Immigration always presents
problems of assimilation. It’s just a matter of whether the likelihood of it is
great or virtually nil.
As to the latter, a recent poll showed
that a majority of Muslims in America prefer
Sharia law to American civil law. Note also the studies
showing that young Muslims in the West are actually more Islamic and
anti-Western than their elders.
In addition, note that amnesty duly
passed into law would be as “legal” as our widely accepted legal immigration.
Legal is not synonymous with smart.
