![]() "Hoy Paloy" wrote in message ... Was That 300 Millionth American Really American? By Patrick J. Buchanan ...Most of those coming now are poor and uneducated, and are unable to speak our language. Some do not wish to become Americans. But they are sending our crime, poverty and disease rates skyward, and pulling U.S. academic scores down toward Third World levels. But what is most significant about these deep and irreversible alterations in the character of the nation is that the American people never voted for it and do not want it. It is being imposed from above, anti-democratically, by a regime that refuses to enforce our laws and is now at virtual war with the American people. Though immigration is the hottest domestic issue in 2006, and every candidate in a close race is taking a hard line on border security - even Hillary Clinton voted for 700 miles of security fence - the will of the people is ignored. According to a poll released Monday by the Center for Immigration Studies, 68 percent of Americans say immigration is too high. Only 2 percent believe it is too low. Yet the McCain-Kennedy-Bush bill would have granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and doubled the number of legal immigrants. The failure to restrict immigration so the Melting Pot can work, the refusal to seal the border despite what America wants, suggests ours has ceased to be a democratic republic. "Here, sir, the people rule!" used to be a proud boast. Today, the line is laughable. In my book State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, I projected that by 2050, every city in America would look like Los Angeles, and Los Angeles and the cities of the Southwest would look like Mexico City. And what is happening to Los Angeles? According to Robert Putnam, Harvard political scientist and author of Bowling Alone, the trust among people in "this most diverse human habitation in human history" is now at rock bottom, the lowest anywhere he could find. "In the presence of diversity," said Putnam, "we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it's not just that we don't trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities we don't trust people who look like us." [ Study paints bleak picture of ethnic diversity , by John Lloyd, Financial Times, October 8, 2006] The more people of different races that live in a community, the greater the loss of trust, said Putnam. "They don't trust the local mayor, they don't trust the local paper, they don't trust other people, and they don't trust institutions. ... The only thing there is more of is protest marches and TV watching." Welcome to the Brave New World our elites are creating for our children, as they consign the America we grew up in to the compost heap of history. Growth is great for WalMart and the Chamber of Commerce element. Fred -------- |
