Immigration @ MindSay



 

   
Immigrants and the GOP
 The WSJ reports that the GOP platform committee approved a proposal to wall of Mexico.  I don't understand the reasoning.  Beyond the utter lack of consideration regarding demographics, the symbolism of such a project is just wrong.  Horribly wrong headed. 

          Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

          With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

          Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

          A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

          Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

          Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

          Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

          The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

          "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

          With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

          Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

          The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

          Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

          I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

 


 
 
   
 

Why can't we Stop the Invasion of Mexicans in the USA

What is the Congress doing to stop the infux of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?

 

My town has been overtaken by Mexicans. Sure I like a taco just like everyone else but this is ridiculous. I go grocery shopping and my Wal Mart is packed full of pregnant Mexican women with 6 other children in tow. All a Social Security Card away from lifetime benefits (that they have not paid a dime for).

 

The products have all changed – half I cannot read because they are in Spanish. All those pregnant women are downloading American citizens that we will have to support. Our schools are over crowded and we have to provide classes in Spanish to instruct the ILLEGALS children that have not learned to assimilate into our country.

True Story - I was in court 3 weeks ago (I got a ticket for littering - a cigarette butt) anyway there are at least 4 Hispanics in court the person before me cannot speak one word of English. The court had to provide a translator for them.  He was caught driving without a license & no insurance. Guess What - Not one Single Person including the Judge asked him if he was in our country legally...not one person. The fine $300 next case. I almost fell out of my chair. I wanted to stand up and say "your honor has it ever occured to you that Pepe is not in our country legally and THAT is why he has no license"? You are turning him loose out on the streets to hopefully not get caught again? WHAT????

The only time I enjoy going the convenience store in the morning is on rainy days. THEY are not working – rain cancels construction projects.

Ok – take it anyway you like I am not a Mexican hater but what if the shoe was on the other foot. Would we be welcomed in Mexico if 1/3 of our population moved into Mexico and demanded that they all speak English – change the way their local stores operated – change the way any phone is answered? Would we be afforded benefits from the Mexican government – I think not?

Check the way they treat Non-Resident living in their country and you will see a vast difference.

I am for LEGAL immigrations – I am just pissed off that our leaders – President – Congress are doing absolutely NOTHING to stop this.  You had better hope the Hispanic population votes for you in the next elections because in my book you are outta here!

Stand Up American – grow some BALLS!

American Suicide..................Very sobering
(and true â¤"  checked it out at:  http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/lamm..asp  
 
Wherever you stand, please take the time to read this; it ought to scare the beejeebers out of you!
 
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado .. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
 
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America
 
 The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States . He said, 'If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.''
 
Here is how they do it,' Lamm said:
 
'First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims.'
 
Lamm went on:
 
'Second, to destroy America , invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds
 
'Third, we could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec ' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentriy and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, 'I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.'
 
'Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.'
 
'My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority plation..'
 
'My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precet. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. 'E. Pluribus Unum' -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will ' Balkanize ' America as surely as Kosovo. '
 
'Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-cultum, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.'
 
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, 'Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America . If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.'
 
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America Take note of California and other states. To date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book '1984.' In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: 'War is peace,' 'Freedom is slavery,' and 'Ignorance is strength.'
 
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat.. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
 
If you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass this on just as I did for you.
 
NOTHING is going to happen if you don't!

.What the fuck?

.Governor Lame, you are obviously not a very educated person or else you might know that all Americans got here through immigration. And that we're not the original Americans. Funny thing is, our ancestors certainly didn't have to go through the bitch-of-a-system today's immigrants are put through just become citizens. We stole the land from the people who were here first. So maybe Governor Lamm and other conservative fuckasses like him who obviously have never cracked a book should just shut the fuck up.

.On an unrelated note, I walked into the living room today and found the television on Fox News. The newscaster called the tribe they recently found in South America "indians." Haha. What a douchebag. NO ONE EVER CALLED THEM INDIANS, DUMBASS.
 
 
   
 

Inherent, Unalienable Rights.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

 -- Declaration of Independence

"That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

-- Virginia Declaration of Rights


I love this idea... that all people, no matter where they come from or who they are have inherent, unalienable rights. It was a great and progressive concept. I think we've come a long way from this sentiment in modern society, however. Not only do we not seem to recognize these rights in ALL people, or even ALL people IN our country, but we don't even recognize them in ALL of our citizens. Where did these simple truths become moot points? When did we decide that only some people in the world have these inherent rights, while others are worthy of bullets and no mercy?
 
 
 

   
Taking down the bird feeder...

I can't take credit for this one, as a friend wrote it. But I thought it was brilliant, so I wanted to share...

 

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let’s see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
