Schlafly
warns America 'may be at a breaking point already' Expected surge of immigrants to push U.S. to 'European model
of state control'
Only
eight short years from now, immigrants will make up a record-high 14.8 percent
of the total U.S. population, and longtime conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly
views the rising tide of newcomers as a purposeful attack on the country.
By the nation’s own president.
“It’s deliberate,” Schlafly told WND in an interview. “It’s
not any accident. It’s because Obama and his friends are letting all these
people in who don’t want to be Americans, who don’t want to speak English.”
The Census Bureau projected
last month that the U.S. immigrant population,
legal and illegal, will total a record 51 million in 2023. At that point, one
in seven U.S. residents will be an immigrant. By 2060, nearly one in five U.S.
residents will be an immigrant, and the total U.S. population will be 417
million – 108 million more than in 2010.
Conservative activist Richard
Viguerie, author of “Takeover:
The 100-Year War For The Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can Finally Win
It,” noted that most of today’s
immigrants come from nations more politically and culturally liberal than the
United States. Therefore, he expects the growing immigrant population to make
the entire country more liberal.
“It’s going to pull America to the left, for sure,” Viguerie
told WND in an interview. “America will become closer to the European model of
state control of our country.”
Of course, if America moves to the
left, it will naturally gravitate toward the Democratic Party, the party of big
government. Schlafly, author of “Who
Killed the American Family?” worries
about the future of the GOP.
“I think one of the reasons Obama and his friends are so
eager to open the gates to more and more immigrants is they think it’s going to
defeat the conservative movement and the Republican Party,” Schlafly said. “Of
course, they all come from countries that are not used to the idea of limited
government. They’re used to countries where the government makes all the
decisions, and they don’t know anything different.
“They don’t understand what Americans mean when we talk
about limited government, so I think one of their motives clearly is death to
the conservative movement and the Republican Party.”
Viguerie agreed if all the new immigrants vote, it would
spell the death of the Republican Party. But he also worries about another way
party might be destroyed.
“The Republican Party, if it were to nominate a pro-amnesty
candidate, would self-destruct and not be able to politically survive having a
political candidate that is pro-amnesty,” Viguerie said. “It would just drive a
stake in the hearts of the grassroots Republican voters, and there would be
almost no chance the Republican nominee could win the election.”
Regarding the field of likely 2016
GOP presidential contenders, Viguerie believes Jeb Bush is completely on the
wrong side of the immigration issue. He said Marco Rubio and Scott Walker are
suspect on the issue, even though Walker recently talked about the
need to reform legal immigration.
“But a Bobby Jindal, a Ted Cruz are solidly anti-amnesty,”
Viguerie said. “They’re in sync with the majority of the Republican voters and
the majority of Americans.”
Schlafly agreed that Cruz is a good anti-illegal immigration
candidate, and she praised Walker for his comments on legal immigration.
Nevertheless, she believes any Republican who wants to limit immigration is
swimming upstream.
“The powers-that-be, the propagandists, big media, and the
big donors in the Republican Party are all pushing this massive immigration,”
she said. “And of course that’s the view of big business – they want the cheap
labor.”
The Census Bureau projects that the U.S. immigrant
population will grow nearly four times faster than the native population. It
will reach 15.8 percent by 2030 and 18.8 percent by 2060, at which time there
will be 78 million immigrants in the country. By contrast, there were only 20
million immigrants in the U.S. in 1990, accounting for 7.9 percent of the
population.
Schlafly and Viguerie say the GOP could decline under a
flood of new immigrants, but so could the country.
“We may be at a breaking point already, I don’t know,”
Schlafly said. However, she noted that she remains a Reagan optimist and
doesn’t believe America will totally collapse.
Viguerie thinks the breaking point might not be that
distant. “We may be closer to that than we suspect, because Obama is on a fast
track to change the voting demographics of this country by importing tens of
millions of Democrat voters from South America, and so we could reach a tipping
point within a few years,” he said.
“We’ve got a large percentage of people here who are not
Americans, they don’t want to be Americans, they’re not assimilating, they want
to keep their culture, they want to keep their language, they don’t know our
history.”
Viguerie specifically referenced radical Muslims as one
group that should not be let into the country.
“We need a different vetting system,” Viguerie declared. “We
need to vet these people. We need to keep out radical Muslims. If you’re a
radical Muslim, you should not be coming to this country, and we don’t have a
proper vetting system for people who are interested in our destruction.”
Ultimately, Viguerie believes it will take strong leadership
to stem the tide of immigration and preserve a uniquely American culture.
However, the veteran fundraiser is not entirely optimistic.
“We don’t have the leadership in the Congress, we don’t have
the leadership certainly in the executive branch, and we don’t have it in the
Republican Party,” he said.
Viguerie said it will be up to voters to demand that their
leaders solve the immigration crisis. He hopes some of the newer tea
party-affiliated congressmen will provide real leadership on the immigration
issue.
“Right now, most of the people who are thought to be leaders
on the Republican side are intimidated by mainstream media and hesitant to step
out, but it’s time to say we need to call a halt to mass immigration into this
country here,” he said.
Schlafly, for her part, feels the
American people are already on her side when it comes to immigration control.
Indeed, a Gallup
poll taken last June found a plurality
of Americans, 41 percent, thought current immigration levels should be
decreased. Only 22 percent thought they should be increased.
“I think the public opinion polls are showing that the
majority of Americans agree with the views that I’ve been expressing,” Schlafly
contended. “However, major media doesn’t put it out that way.”
She said ordinary people just need to keep talking about how
immigration is harming them, and eventually politicians and the media will no
longer be able to ignore them.
Viguerie said immigration should be slowed down. “Let us
catch our breath here and figure out, because the world is changing in front of
our eyes,” Viguerie said. “Much of the world is moving toward a virulently
anti-American, anti-Western values belief system. And we need to take a look at
who’s coming into this country, and what are their views and values.”

Comments
I say close down immigration because
of the 93 million working-age US Citizens who don’t have jobs and the million a
year students graduating and the teenagers who should be able to work
part-time. We closed it down during the Great Depression I and we are in the
middle of Great Depression II. Before we
Off-shored our economy, we recruited our immigrants because we had lots of jobs. We need to hang a sign on the Statue of
Liberty that reads: “Closed for Repairs”.
Milton Friedman warned us when he said: “You
can have open borders or a welfare state, but you can’t have both”. I vote to
close the borders and life all welfare recipients into jobs.
