Elizabeth Warren, the worst of the bunch
"Hi, I’m Elizabeth Warren. Even though I’m as white as library paste, I pretended to be an American Indian to get preferment. My research on medical bankruptcies was as fraudulent as the way I gamed the racial spoils system. So you should totally trust me when I say I’m “capitalist to my bones”!
The above quotation is from Armed & Dangerous...how each of the candidates would introduce themselves if they were honest. There is an imaginary intro for each of them and they are all spot on, but because Warren is allegedly "surging," and because she is the panderer-in-chief, her gross dishonesty must be exposed.
Caricature by Donkey Hotey
There is quite the contest among the declared candidates for the Democrat nomination, and for reasons unknown to most of us, they are each clamoring to be the most wealth-redistributing socialist, the most radical, the nearest to communist. They each advocate for open borders to all who show up, no matter from what their home country, no matter how likely they may be to be criminals. Not one of them cares about the thousands of American citizens who are killed by illegal immigrants. No, they only care about the "poor children at the border" whose parents have either sold or rented them to drug cartels or coyotes for a price. But bleeding-heart Warren now wants to repeal the 1994 crime bill, pushed by Joe Biden at the time, and that actually worked. For wholly mysterious reasons, Warren, like the rest of the left, values criminals, legal or illegal residents, over American citizens. This is how they roll. They think this is a winning tactic, as if there are more criminals than law-abiding citizens in America and that coddling them is the answer.
While nearly all of the Democrat candidates are monstrous hypocrites, especially on climate change, Warren may well be the worst of the bunch. Her despicable record as a liar to gain a position at Harvard is well-known; she claimed to be Native American which, as we all know now, is preposterous on its face. She gave no thought to taking a position which an actual minority applicant might have won. In short, she is a woman of low character who is willing to do or say anything she supposes might work in her favor to gain power. She was once an avowed capitalist who worked for corporations to avoid insurance claims -- but no more. Now she is a fully formed anti-American who loathes the wealthy she promises to punish in order to support the deluge of migrants from around the world she assumes will reward her with their support.
She will of course grant them the right to vote as will any one of the candidates if elected. If you have entered the US illegally, then Warren and her fellow candidates are there for you. Commit a crime? No problem. The Democrats are there for you. Need free medical care? US citizens will pay. The left values you over legal citizens. Warren is the worst of the bunch. She is the "dead phony walking." She is a liar and a cheat and, if the nominee, will remind everyone of their most hated elementary school teacher. She does not talk, she harangues.
Like Hillary Clinton, Warren is contemptuous not only of Trump and his supporters but of pretty much all Americans. By her standards, we are all stupid. She overstates her significance; we are not as dumb as she thinks. She is an armchair lefty whose cheap disdain for the rest of us is all there is to her. The gamblers are betting on her to be the candidate now that Biden's dementia is showing. What does that tell us about the American left in 2019? "Evil appears as good in the minds of those whom God leads to destruction." (Sophocles) If Warren is the nominee, Trump will sail to victory with ease.
Elizabeth Warren To Announce Presidential Campaign From City
Ravaged by Opioids, Illegal Immigration

Elizabeth Warren To Announce Presidential Campaign From City
Ravaged by Opioids, Illegal Immigration
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/02/09/elizabeth-warren-to-announce-presidential-campaign-from-city-ravaged-by-opioid-epidemic-illegal-immigration-n2541101
Sen.
Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is set to announce her 2020 presidential campaign from
the historically significant Lawrence, MA. In the early portion of the
1900s, the bustling mill town was known for the advancement of fair wages as
well as being a welcoming hub for legal immigrants. Yet in the 21st century,
Lawrence is known for something more nefarious; it is the "clearing house
for illegal drugs" brought into a region ravaged by the opioid epidemic
with narcotics often trafficked by illegal aliens.
The
town located on the Merrimack River is replete with political symbolism and
activism. Historians, feminists, and Big Labor activists recall the 1912
women-led strike against mill owner's after the reduction of wages in response
to a new law limiting weekly working hours. These women staged walkouts and
forced mill owners to pay fairly which in turn bolstered union support.
As David Rutz of The Washington Free
Beacon notes, this was
"[c]onsidered a landmark moment for unions, the strike received national
attention and eventually prompted federal investigations into brutal working
conditions and pay raises for workers around New England."
With
the backdrop of these organized labor victories and the city's high immigrant
population, it makes for a picturesque scene for the progressive Sen. Elizabeth
Warren's presidential launch. But, the current political and cultural reality
of Lawrence seems far better to help President Trump's stance on illegal
immigration and serves as a staunch rebuke of Sen. Warren's views on federal
agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In the
past, Sen. Warren has said America needs "to rebuild our immigration system from
top to bottom starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our
morality and that works." But, ICE actually works very well in conjunction
with other agencies who are trying to rid American streets of dangerous
substances that have led to the deaths of at least 1500 Massachusetts residents
in 2018 and an estimated 50,000 overdoses nationwide in 2017.
ICE's
success is evidenced by an October 2018 multiagency drug sweep through the city
of Lawrence which resulted in the arrest of 50 people, including 13 illegal
immigrants, as well as the seizure of 20 pounds of fentanyl -- enough to kill
half of the Bay State.
At the
time, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling told the Boston Herald, “Lawrence is a clearing house for illegal drugs pouring
into New Hampshire and Maine via 93 and 495."
The
Herald noted that the Department of
Justice led the bust officially known as the "Project Safe Neighborhoods
initiative." It "involved over 200 federal law enforcement agents and
targeted repeat criminals that had prior convictions for violence, drug
trafficking, firearm offenses or records of being in the country
illegaly."
Lelling
reported Project Safe Neighborhood proved the "larger point that the city
of Lawrence is significant to law enforcement.”
Based
on the previous admonishment from the Massachusetts senator, it seems to be a
safe bet Warren will not praise law enforcement for their heroic work led in
part by stopping illegal immigrants in Lawrence and elsewhere from dealing
opioids which in turn kill citizens.
Nonetheless,
Lelling's October press conference can tell the American people what they
really need to hear about former mill towns that the left will not tell you --
"What the people living there need is help and support. What they don’t
need is drug dealers selling kilos of fentanyl and felons brandishing
guns," Lelling told the media at the time.

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA
“THE RACE”
by Michelle Malkin
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.
VIVA LA RAZA SUPREMACY?
THEN VOTE DEMOCRAT! ILLEGALS ARE!
ZOGY POLL ON MEX RACISM AND VIOLENCE….. Half the
murders in CA
are by Mex gangs, and 93% of murders in La
Raza-Occupied Los Angeles are by
Mexicans.
ZOGBY
“In Mexico,
a recent Zogby poll declared that the vast majority of Mexican citizens
hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a country saturated with racism, yet in
denial, having never endured the social development of a Civil Rights
movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly treated while foreign Whites are
often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact, racism as workplace
discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the illegal alien
Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually
strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”
Previous
generations of immigrants did not believe they were racially superior to
Americans. That is the view of La Raza Cosmica, by Jose Vasconcelos,
Mexico’s former education minister and a presidential candidate. According to
this book, republished in 1979 by the Department of Chicano Studies at Cal
State LA, students of Scandinavian, Dutch and English background are dullards,
blacks are ugly and inferior, and those “Mongols” with the slanted eyes lack
enterprise. The superior new “cosmic” race of Spaniards and Indians is
replacing them, and all Yankee “Anglos.” LLOYD

VIVA
LA RAZA SUPREMACY?
The comparison to the Nazi
Party is well deserved. La Raza openly supports pushing all but Latino
Americans out of a portion of the United States (ethnic cleansing), they call
for 'Reconquista' or the re-conquest of the American Southwest by Mexico (the
re-occupation of the Sudetanland), and the establishment of 'Atzlan' which is
the utopian all-Latino version of the American Southwestern states (Adolf
Hitler planned to called his utopia Germania).
"Despite the fact that the majority
of documented hispanics oppose illegal immigration, as do the majority of
Americans, Aztlan and La Raza race hate groups have become the
self-appointed voice for a separatist movement that threatens a violent
overthrow of the Constitutional system and a barbaric program of ethnic
cleansing. This is held up by the media as 'diversity' and to vociferously
oppose it is scorned as racism."
Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General We are practicing
"La Reconquista" in California."
"We’ve got an even more ominous enemy within our borders that promotes “Reconquista of Aztlan” or the reconquest of California, Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas into the country of
Mexico."
"Remember 187 -- the Proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services
to non-citizens --- was the last gasp of white America in California." --- Art Torres,

“The Race”
by Michelle Malkin
Only in America could critics of a group called
"The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing
identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have
succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."
Both
Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this week in San
Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the Latino
organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race." Can you
imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of
white people who called themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates
and the media have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic
lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished
truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your
tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.
Here
are 15 things you should know about "The Race":
15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses
for illegal aliens.
14."The Race" demands in-state tuition
discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S.
citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
13. "The Race" vehemently opposes
cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal
authorities.
12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on
the southern border.
11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds
from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and
to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
10. "The Race" opposed the state of
Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to
illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal
cooperation and information sharing.
9. "The Race" joined other open-borders,
anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's
bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
8. "The Race" bitterly protested
common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."
7. "The Race" has consistently opposed
post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.
6. Former "Race" president Raul
Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S.
English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was
referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group
dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United
States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and
advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while
avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."
5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a
poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP
Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical
racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has
permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a
racist nation out of the American West."
4. "The Race" is currently leading a
smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called
for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off
the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut
up their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race"
president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be
tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment
rights."
3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic
nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8
million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in
Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez
Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los
Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White
water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of
collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain …
ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of
life will eventually lead to our own destruction."
2. "The Race" has perfected the art of
the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan
standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage
counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and
partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.
1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy
-- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian
Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The
National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the
contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the
meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people' -- and that's precisely why we
don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would
not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."
The
fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza.

ALIEN
NATION: Secrets of the Invasion
Why
America's government invites rampant illegal immigration
It's
widely regarded as America's biggest problem: Between 12 and 20 million aliens
(MOST SOURCES SUGGEST THERE ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY NEARLY 40 MILLION ILLEGALS
HERE NOW) – including large numbers of criminals, gang members and even
terrorists – have entered this nation illegally, with countless more streaming
across our scandalously unguarded borders daily.
The
issue polarizes the nation, robs citizens of jobs, bleeds taxpayers, threatens
America's national security and dangerously balkanizes the country into
unassimilated ethnic groups with little loyalty or love for America's founding
values. Indeed, the de facto invasion is rapidly transforming America into a
totally different country than the one past generations have known and loved.
And
yet – most Americans have almost no idea what is really going on, or why it is
happening.
While
news reports depict demonstrations and debates, and while politicians promise
"comprehensive border security programs," no real answers ever seem
to emerge.
But
there are answers. Truthful answers. Shocking answers.
In
its groundbreaking May edition, WND's acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine
reveals the astounding hidden agendas, plans and people behind America's
immigration nightmare.
Titled
"ALIEN NATION," the issue is subtitled "SECRETS OF THE INVASION:
Why government invites rampant illegal immigration." Indeed, it reveals
pivotal secrets very few Americans know. For example:
Did
you know that the powerfully influential Council on Foreign Relations – often
described as a “shadow government" – issued a comprehensive report last
year laying out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North
American economic and security community" with a common "outer
security perimeter"?
Roughly
translated: In the next few years, according to the 59-page report titled
"Building a North American Community," the U.S. must be integrated
with the socialism, corruption, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada.
"Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S.,
Mexico and Canada. As Phyllis Schlafly reveals in this issue of Whistleblower:
"This CFR document asserts that President Bush, Mexican President Vicente
Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin 'committed their governments' to
this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.
The three adopted the 'Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America'
and assigned 'working groups' to fill in the details. It was at this same
meeting, grandly called the North American Summit, that President Bush pinned
the epithet 'vigilantes' on the volunteers guarding our border in
Arizona."
The
CFR report – important excerpts of which are published in Whistleblower – also
suggests North American elitists begin getting together regularly, and
presumably secretly, "to buttress North American relationships, along the
lines of the Bilderberg or Wehrkunde conferences, organized to support
transatlantic relations." The Bilderberg and Wehrkunde conferences are
highly secret conclaves of the powerful. For decades, there have been
suspicions that such meetings were used for plotting the course of world events
and especially the centralization of global decision-making.
Did
you know that radical immigrant groups – including the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational
Fund (MALDEF), the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) and the
National Council of La Raza (La Raza) – not only share a revolutionary agenda
of conquering America's southwest, but they also share common funding sources,
notably the Ford and Rockefeller foundations?
''California
is going to be a Hispanic state," said Mario Obeldo, former head of
MALDEF. "Anyone who does not like it should leave." And MEChA's goal
is even more radical: an independent ''Aztlan,'' the collective name this
organization gives to the seven states of the U.S. Southwest – Arizona,
California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. So why would the
Rockefeller and Ford foundations support such groups? Joseph Farah tells the
story in this issue of Whistleblower.
Why
have America's politicians – of both major parties – allowed the illegal alien
invasion of this nation to continue for the last 30 years unabated? With
al-Qaida and allied terrorists promising to annihilate major U.S. cities with
nuclear weapons, with some big-city hospital emergency rooms near closure due
to the crush of so many illegals, with the rapid spread throughout the U.S. of
MS-13, the super-violent illegal alien gang – with all this and more, why do
U.S. officials choose to ignore the laws of the land and the will of the people
to pursue, instead, policies of open borders and lax immigration enforcement?
The
answers to all this and much more are in Whistleblower's "ALIEN
NATION" issue.
Is
there hope? Or is America lost to a demographic invasion destined to annihilate
its traditional Judeo-Christian culture, and to the ever-growing likelihood
that nuclear-armed jihadists will cross our porous borders and wreak
unthinkable destruction here?
There
most definitely is hope, according to this issue of Whistleblower. Although
most politicians of both major political parties have long since abdicated
their responsibility for securing America's borders and dealing effectively
with the millions already here illegally, there are a few exceptions – most
notably Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo.
May's
Whistleblower includes an exclusive sneak preview of Tancredo's forthcoming
blockbuster book, "In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America’s Border and
Security." In an extended excerpt, Whistleblower presents Tencredo's
expert and inspired analysis of exactly how to solve the nation's most vexing
problem.

THE
AZTLAN INVASION & THE LA RAZA FASCIST PARTY FOR MEXICAN SUPREMACY
“The
radicals seek nothing less than secession from the United States whether to
form their own sovereign state or to reunify with Mexico. Those who desire
reunification with Mexico are irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's
"lost" territories in the American Southwest.”
MULTICULTURALISM,
IMMIGRATION AND AZTLAN
By
Maria Hsia Chang Professor of Political Science, University of Nevada Reno
One
of the standard arguments invoked by those in favor of massive immigration into
the United States is that our country is founded on immigrants who have always
been successfully assimilated into America's mainstream culture and society. As
one commentator put it, "Assimilation evokes the misty past of Ellis
Island, through which millions entered, eventually seeing their descendants
become as American as George Washington."1 Nothing more vividly testifies
against that romantic faith in America's ability to continuously assimilate new
members than the events of October 16, 1994 in Los Angeles. On that day, 70,000
people marched beneath "a sea of Mexican flags" protesting
Proposition 187, a referendum measure that would deny many state benefits to
illegal immigrants and their children. Two weeks later, more protestors marched
down the street, this time carrying an American flag upside down. Both protests
point to a disturbing and rising phenomenon of Chicano separatism in the United
States — the product of a complex of forces, among which are multiculturalism
and a generous immigration policy combined with a lax border control. The
Problem Chicanos refer to "people of Mexican descent in the United
States" or "Mexican Americans in general." Today, there are
reasons to believe that Chicanos as a group are unlike previous immigrants in
that they are more likely to remain unassimilated and unintegrated, whether by
choice or circumstance — resulting in the formation of a separate quasi-nation
within the United States. More than that, there are Chicano political activists
who intend to marry cultural separateness with territorial and political
self-determination. The more moderate among them aspire to the cultural and
political autonomy of "home rule". The radicals seek nothing less
than secession from the United States whether to form their own sovereign state
or to reunify with Mexico. Those who desire reunification with Mexico are
irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's "lost" territories in the
American Southwest.
Whatever
their goals, what animates all of them is the dream of Aztlan. According to
legend, Aztlan was the ancestral homeland of the Aztecs which they left in
journeying southward to found Tenochtitlan, the center of their new
civilization, which is today's Mexico City. Today, the "Nation of
Aztlan" refers to the American southwestern states of California, Arizona,
Texas, New Mexico, portions of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, which Chicano
nationalists claim were stolen by the United States and must be reconquered
(Reconquista) and reclaimed for Mexico. The myth of Aztlan was revived by
Chicano political activists in the 1960s as a central symbol of Chicano
nationalist ideology. In 1969, at the Chicano National Liberation Youth
Conference in Denver, Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales put forth a political
document entitled El Plan de Aztlan (Spiritual Plan of Aztlan). The Plan is a
clarion call to Mexican-Americans to form a separate Chicano nation: In the
spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historial
heritage, but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our
territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the nothern land of
Aztlan from whence came our forefathers ...declare that the call of our blood
is...our inevitable destiny.... Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds,
water the fields, and gather the crops, and not to the foreign Europeans. We do
not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent.... Brotherhood
unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come ....
With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the
independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze
culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers
in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we
are Aztlan.
How
Chicanos are Unlike Previous Immigrants Brent A. Nelson, writing in 1994,
observed that in the 1980s America's Southwest had begun to be transformed into
"a de facto nation" with its own culture, history, myth, geography,
religion, education, and language. Whatever evidence there is indicates that
Chicanos, as a group, are unlike previous waves of immigrants into the United
States. In the first place, many Chicanos do not consider themselves immigrants
at all because their people "have been here for 450 years" before the
English, French, or Dutch. Before California and the Southwest were seized by
the United States, they were the lands of Spain and Mexico. As late as 1780 the
Spanish crown laid claim to territories from Florida to California, and on the
far side of the Mississippi up to the Great Lakes and the Rockies. Mexico held
title to much of Spanish possessions in the United States until the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American war in 1848. As a consequence,
Mexicans "never accepted the borders drawn up by the 1848 treaty."
That
history has created among Chicanos a feeling of resentment for being "a
conquered people," made part of the United States against their will and
by the force of arms. Their resentment is amply expressed by Voz Fronteriza, a
Chicano student publication,
which
referred to Border Patrol officers killed in the line of duty as "pigs
(migra)" trying to defend "the false frontier."
Chicanos
are also distinct from other immigrant groups because of the geographic
proximity of their native country. Their physical proximity to Mexico gives
Chicanos "the option of life in both Americas, in two places and in two
cultures, something earlier immigrants never had." Geographic proximity and
ease of transportation are augmented by the media. Radio and television keep
the spoken language alive and current so that Spanish, unlike the native
languages of previous immigrants into the United States, "shows no sign of
fading."
A
result of all that is the failure by Chicanos to be fully assimilated into the
larger American society and culture. As Earl Shorris, author of Latinos: A
Biography of the People, observed: "Latinos have been more resistant to
the melting pot than any other group. Their entry en masse into the United
States will test the limits of the American experiment...." The continuous
influx of Mexican immigrants into the United States serve to continuously renew
Chicano culture so that their sense of separateness will probably continue
"far into the future...." There are other reasons for the failure of
Chicano assimilation. Historically, a powerful force for assimilation was
upward social mobility: Immigrants into the United States became assimilated as
they rose in educational achievement and income. But today's post-industrial
American economy, with its narrower paths to upward mobility, is making it more
difficult for certain groups to improve their socioeconomic circumstances.
Unionized factory jobs, which once provided a step up for the second generation
of past waves of immigrants, have been disappearing for decades. Instead of the
diamond-shaped economy of industrial America, the modern American economy is
shaped like an hourglass. There is a good number of jobs for unskilled people
at the bottom, a fair number of jobs for the highly educated at the top, but
comparatively few jobs for those in the middle without a college education or
special skills. To illustrate, a RAND Corporation study forecasts that 85
percent of California's new jobs will require post-secondary education. For a
variety of reasons, the nationwide high-school dropout rate for Hispanics (the
majority of whom are Chicano) is 30 percent — three times the rate for whites
and twice the rate for blacks. Paradoxically, the dropout rate for Hispanics
born in the United States is even higher than for young immigrants. Among
Chicanos, high-school dropout rates actually rise between the second and third
generations. Their low educational achievement accounts for why Chicanos as a
group are poor despite being hardworking. In 1996, for the first time, Hispanic
poverty rate began to exceed that of American blacks. In 1995, household income
rose for every ethnic group except Hispanics, for whom it dropped 5 percent.
Latinos now make up a quarter of the nation's poor people, and are more than
three times as likely to be impoverished than whites. This decline in income
has taken place despite high rates of labor-force participation by Latino men,
and despite an emerging Latino middle class. In California, where Latinos now
approach one-third of the population, their education levels are far lower than
those of other immigrants, and they earn about half of what native-born
Californians earn. This means that, for the first time in the history of
American immigration, hard work is not leading to economic advancement because
immigrants in service jobs face unrelenting labor-market pressure from more
recently arrived immigrants who are eager to work for less. The narrowing of
the pathways of upward mobility has implications for the children of recent
Mexican immigrants. Their ascent into the middle-class mainstream will likely
be blocked and they will join children of earlier black and Puerto Rican
migrants as part of an expanded multiethnic underclass. Whereas first
generation immigrants compare their circumstances to the Mexico that they left
— and thereby feel immeasurably better off — their children and grandchildren
will compare themelves to other U.S. groups. Given their lower educational
achievement and income, that comparison will only lead to feelings of relative
deprivation and resentment. They are unlikely to be content as maids,
gardeners, or fruit pickers. Many young Latinos in the second and third
generations see themselves as locked in irremediable conflict with white
society, and are quick to deride successful Chicano students as
"wannabes." For them, to study hard is to "act white" and
exhibit group disloyalty. That attitude is part of the Chicano culture of
resistance — a culture that actively resists assimilation into mainstream
America. That culture is created, reinforced, and maintained by radical Chicano
intellectuals, politicians, and the many Chicano Studies programs in U.S.
colleges and universities. As examples, according to its editor, Elizabeth
Martinez, the purpose of Five Hundred Years of Chicano History, a book used in
over 300 schools throughout the West, is to "celebrate our resistance to
being colonized and absorbed by racist empire builders." The book calls the
INS and the Border Patrol "the Gestapo for Mexicans."
For
Rodolfo Acuna, author of Occupied America: The Chicano's Struggle Toward
Liberation, probably the most widely assigned text in U.S. Chicano Studies
programs, the Anglo-American invasion of Mexico was "as vicious as that of
Hitler's invasion of Poland and other Central European nations...." The
book also includes a map showing "the Mexican republic" in 1822
reaching up into Kansas and Oklahoma, and including within it Utah, Nevada, and
everything west and south of there
"This
is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a
common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is
taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational
program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA
$800,000.00 in March of 2009!
‘Diversity,’
Illegal Immigration and Destroying America
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.
Center for Security Policy, February 20, 2018
Now
that official Washington’s political oxygen is being consumed by the latest
school shooting, it’s easy to forget abiding disagreements about immigration
policy. Yet, until supplanted by the current children’s crusade for gun
control, it was the so-called “DACA kids” who had to be accommodated with a
massive amnesty.
Just as we seem determined to ignore factors in mass murders like the pop culture’s role in inculcating a lust for violence – the more, the better, what passes for debate about illegal aliens is increasingly unmoored from any discussion of their impact on American society.
It’s time to reprise a 2003 warning by Democratic former Colorado governor Dick Lamm about a “secret plan” that is destroying our country through the combined effects of unchecked immigration, the “diversity” agenda and abandoning our national principle of “out of many, one.” This lunacy must end.
