Elites Using Amnesty to Conspire Against the
Middle Class, May 31,
2015
Controversial firebrand Ann
Coulter’s new book, “Adios, America” argues that fettered immigration is
destroying the country by driving down the salaries of the middle class while
increasing their tax burden. And it’s the elites on both sides — right and left
— who are making it happen. An excerpt:
(Ann Coulter) – This is “Goodbye,” America. Adios. Paalam
Na. No further warning will be issued.
For 40 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 5 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.
Only in the case of immigration is the public systematically
lied to from every major news outlet. They tell us, for example:
Polls show the public overwhelmingly
supports “comprehensive immigration reform.”
No poll shows this. The Left uses polls to manipulate public
opinion, rather than quantify it. Typical is a Brookings Institution Poll that
asked respondents to chose between two ways to solve the illegal immigration
problem: “Arrest and deport all those who are here illegally” or “provide an
earned path to citizenship.” Absolutely no one has proposed that we deport all
those here illegally — much less “arrest” them. But can’t I be against amnesty
without voting for rounding up illegals at gunpoint? No! Look at the menu — no
substitutions!
Immigrants are doing jobs Americans
just won’t do.
Americans are perfectly happy to do all manner of jobs —
they just won’t do them for $7 an hour. Unions used to care about that, but now
they just want political power. Democrats want the votes; certain business
interest want the cheap labor. So both parties have conspired against the
middle class.
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.
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. 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. In 2011, 73% of California Hispanics said they’d support a
candidate who wanted to “secure the border first, stop illegal immigration, and
then find a way to address the status of people already here illegally.” In a
2014 Univision poll, 58% chose “require border security first” over “pass
immigration reform.”
The American electorate isn’t moving to the left — it’s
shrinking. No minds have been changed. Democrats just brought in a new group of
voters whose minds don’t need to be changed.
Back when Democrats still claimed to represent working
Americans, they opposed illegal immigration. Since being taken over by the Far
Left, all that matters to them is changing the electorate to one that doesn’t
mind liberal insanity.
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.”
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!
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. Any amnesty is an inducement to illegal aliens. If you choose to argue
it’s not, I refer you to history. This is not the first time Americans have
been promised secure borders in return for amnesty. The 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli
Act, also known as “The Charlie Brown and Lucy with Football Act,” was supposed
to end illegal immigration forever: Give us amnesty one time, then: Never
again. Illegal immigration sextupled. Contrary to everything you’ve heard, the
only options are not: Amnesty or deporting 11 million people. There’s also the
option of letting them stay in the shadows — or the same thing we’ve been doing
for the last 30 years. Americans are under no moral obligation to grant amnesty
to people who have broken our laws. “The moral thing to do” is usually defined
as “following the law.” 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!”
Debate any urgent liberal demand long enough, and the problem usually just goes
away. The fact that Democrats want 30 million new voters is not a good enough
reason to ignore the law and screw over American workers, as well as legal
immigrants already here. How about Republicans try this: We’re not giving you
anything — not even half — because there’s no reason to do so.
