Who’s really in charge of U.S. immigration?

Today, while surfing the web, I happened to stumble upon a very interesting blog (Five Feet of Fury) with a very bold, yet rational take on immigration. The post was titled; “so why not just let in fewer Mexicans.”  

This post really caught my attention because the author of the piece, Kathy Shaidle, actually beat me to the punch with this one. As you know if you’re a regular reader, I don’t pull many punches on Gotham Resistance. I do however, feel that I may have held myself back this one time, with this specific question that Ms. Shaidle so nonchalantly and yet so courageously asked.

You see, I have often had this discussion with people close to me, and have often asked the same question as Kathy Shaidle!

It just drives me crazy when I hear the news reports project that within a certain time frame, a certain ethnic group will be the majority in America. They speak of this future as if it’s written in stone, as if it’s inevitable. Why is it inevitable? Who decided that it’s inevitable, and who the hell is in charge of our country?

As Ms. Shaidle so aptly points out in her piece, the Republican Party has been wringing their hands and pulling their hair out over this “sensitive” issue. The GOP is constantly being warned by friend and foe alike that they have to embrace “Hispanics.” This “embracing” is always directly linked to blanket amnesty for illegal aliens, softening up on immigration laws, and expansion of the welfare state. The GOP has also been told that they need to “reach out” to “Hispanics” because they will soon have the power to make it impossible for the Party to ever be viable again.

What exactly does reaching out mean?

Should the GOP, and the Conservative and Libertarian movements sacrifice their principles for political expediency? Do they embrace big-government socialism in lieu of the free market in order to pander to a certain ethnic group that is by design becoming more and more powerful? As usual, I’d bet the GOP takes the path of least resistance and marches slowly to its death instead of going down fighting.

Any rational person understands that immigrants from the Third World don’t understand, and frankly, don’t give a damn about free market capitalism, limited government, personal and financial freedom, and the constitution. People from this background only care about survival! They are very willing to accept minimal personal freedom as long as they have a government that insures them the basic staples of life. A person making the equivalent of forty or fifty thousand dollars a year in Mexico is considered very “well-off” – why then will these people give a rat’s ass if people making over 200 grand are taxed at 60%?

The main crux of this issue is something that is currently missing from the public debate in our country. The question is who gets to decide who will be the future majority in our country, and who gets to decide how much immigration is enough, and from where the immigration should come from? I always thought it was we the people – silly me!

It’s pure insanity to allow massive immigration from a specific geographical area,

and from a specific ethnic or religious background! Common sense says that if we allowed the same levels of immigration from any country in the world, the results would be the same. If it were India instead of Mexico, all the politicians would then be pandering to the Indians. If it were the Far-East, the people from those ethnic and cultural backgrounds would then have the power over our politicians instead of the “Hispanics” from Mexico and Central and South America. Duh!

This current rationale even goes against the phony “melting pot” cliché often used by the mainstream media and the Left-Wing Liberals. A “melting pot” would theoretically contain a wide array of ingredients mixed toghether slowly and purposefully. As stated many times on this blog, the amnesty bill that is on the agenda of the Obama administration could easily add 100 million mostly “Hispanic” immigrants over the next twenty or so years. If you do the math, even with the phony deflated numbers that the government and media push, you’ll see how this can easily happen.

The Federal Government estimates that there are between 12 to 20 million illegal aliens in our country. The vast majority are “Hispanic.” If you legalize 20 million immigrants, and they all bring only five “family members” (Chain or Serial Migration) into the country, you have 100 million people! Many of these people come from huge families, so five family members each may well be a conservative figure.

The sad fact of the matter is that the current trend of racial and ethnic politics will continue until the vast majority of the American people demand that our government stops it! I say vast majority because if only 51 or 52 percent of Americans protest, they’ll keep on doing it because they believe that they will be greatly rewarded in the future.

As is the case with most of the important issues America faces, we the people need to be heard. We must tell our elected officials in Washington what we want instead of them telling us what we’re going to get! We the people need to tell Washington who and how many people they should let into our country! We need to tell the cowardly frauds that we need educated freedom loving people to be allowed to immigrate to our country; we don’t need to be importing poverty and ignorance from around the world!

I truly believe that the immigration issue (illegal and legal) trumps all other issues. If the current trend continues, if we don’t start controlling our borders, and if the Democrats and Obama get their amnesty agenda passed, our country as we know and love it will cease to exist! Please don’t just accept the media’s assertions and projections about who will in essence control our country. Nothing is inevitable if we take back our power from the corrupt self-serving politicians in Washington. We have the power to control our own destiny – if only we’d use it!
