The
Latino lobby is quite powerful not just among our elected officials in
Washington who want to cling to power by pandering to higher donors and loud non-English
speaking groups, but also in the boardrooms of large and small corporations
alike who want cheap labor and no employee healthcare costs to comply with
Obamacare. Democrats cannot wait to have 11 million more low information voters
without English skills who will vote Democrat in perpetuity. Who can resist
Santa Claus?
The
pressure is on to pass amnesty immediately for 11 million illegal aliens,
“undocumented Americans in the shadows” at Seven Elevens, gas stations, Wal-Mart,
Home Depot, the welfare office, the Social Security, WIC, EBT offices, ERs, shopping
malls, in churches, and wherever else there is a way to milk the system and get
free stuff from the “stupidly-generous gringos.”
The
Multiculturalism agenda has warped the minds of many indoctrinated Americans
into believing the talking points of the progressive lobby. They are now
willing to destroy their economy, their language, their borders, their culture,
and drive the last nail in the coffin of what used to be a country of freedom
where immigrants fled to for freedom from oppression, equal opportunity to
succeed, to build, and to create, not to become burdens to the welfare system.
Europeans
are suffering the full-blown effects of this failed multiculturalism which we
are now eagerly emulating. Germany and France are awake, albeit too late,
recognizing that the multiculturalism they embraced with open arms and instant
generous welfare has caused irreparable damage to the fabric of their society.
Many towns and areas are no longer recognizable as France/Germany; they are
forbidden ghettos, miniature countries the immigrants left behind. Which begs
the question, why did they emigrate from a hell hole and established an exact
replica in a western nation?
Der
Spiegel, an independent publication from Hamburg, which employs 80 fact
checkers, whom the conservative Franz Josef Strauss called “the Gestapo of our
time” and the Social Democrat Chancellor Willy Brandt called “Scheissblatt,”
published an interesting story, “The Rroma Conundrum.” Oezlem Gezer’s article
was fascinating for many reasons. The story bears some resemblance to our
illegal immigration and its consequences.
The
local council of the Berlin Neukoelln district sent an envoy to a small
Romanian village of 3,000, populated by Rroma, formerly known as gypsies. This
district has an irritating problem of their own creation, 300,000 residents of
160 nationalities. Half of the students attending the 65 schools in the
district have no knowledge of German nor an interest in acquiring language
skills any time soon. Gezer describes how “large Rroma families move en masse
from one village in Romania to Neukoelln and fill up an entire street.”
Giffey,
the Ph.D. local council representative said, “I open a new school class every
month,” surely the Romanian locals are missing their Rroma children. Who can
blame the population who has migrated to Berlin and those who are planning on migrating
when the welfare benefits in Germany are twenty times as generous as those
given by Romanian authorities? Since
Romania became a member of the European Union in 2007, any citizen can travel
freely across the borders of the 27 EU member countries and seek work. The Rroma,
Gezer said, “form closed microcosms,” similar to the villages they’ve left
behind, moves “which go unnoticed by politicians until it’s too late.”
It
is easy to pick on the Rroma because they have neither a powerful
representation nor a vociferous lobby. Many lead a nomadic life and
self-marginalize. They marry early in life and most do not attend school
regularly. The communist regime marginalized them to an extent and the efforts
to include them in society have failed miserably.
Rroma
speak Rromani (romani ćhib), language
variations belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. Confused
with Egyptians, hence the word “gypsy,” they actually migrated about 1,500
years ago from the northwestern Indian subcontinent. “They arrived in Europe
from the Middle East in the 15th century, separating from the Dom
people” and settled across Central and Eastern Europe, Spain, Portugal, and
southern France.
Rroma have migrated to the United States in the 19th century. There are one million Rroma in the U.S. and 800,000 in Brazil. The Rroma in Brazil are descendants from Rroma deported by the Portuguese government during the Inquisition. There are Rroma in Canada and in some South American countries.
The
Berliners are upset because most Rroma children are not immunized, creating
health issues that had been previously eradicated: rubella, whopping cough, tuberculosis, chicken
pox, and measles. Some of the Rroma children have AIDS. “Mayors in Romania are
glad to see their Rroma residents go.”
“The
representative from Switzerland says his country has no problems with
integration: Rroma come over during the day to beg, then travel back to France
to sleep.” They are “rotating Europeans,” as a Bulgarian diplomat called them. The
French stopped repatriating the Rroma. It was expensive and they always came
back, thanking the French President for their free vacation home. http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/a-trip-to-romania-offers-unsettling-answers-to-roma-influx-a-905155.html
The
officials described the tripling of Romanians in Germany to 205,000, as a
challenge - they are either well educated or very poor. It was hard for me to
believe that such a small number posed “the greatest challenge for German
integration policies.” No mention was made of the millions of Middle Eastern
and North African Muslims who have set up ghettoes and mosques across the EU
and Germany, thanks to the generous welfare system and the multicultural
self-suicidal immigration policies.
EU
has built a cultural center and daycare in the Rroma village, with bathrooms
donated by Britain – neither is used for lack of operating costs. The EU’s blue
flag with yellow stars, a symbol of the freedom to move from country to country
without being stopped at the border, represents for these Rroma immigrants the
freedom to escape to the country that offers the most generous welfare benefits
for life.
Here
we are about to repeat the same mistake of 1986 when we amnestied 3 million
illegal aliens and the mistake the European Union has made by allowing
progressives to overwhelm the member countries with unchecked immigration in the
name of religious tolerance and non-discrimination.
Margaret
Thatcher’s prophetic words have now come true for Europeans. “The problem with
socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Bureaucrats
are finding out how difficult it is to scale back the largesse given to
millions of foreign nationals who hate them, refuse to integrate, refuse to speak
the national language, self-separate in ghettoes, and are biting the hands that
feed them quite well by demanding more and promising to take them over by
violent means or by exploding demographics. Europeans no longer have enough
children to replace the dying population, while the immigrants average 6-8
children per family. At this rate, it is easy to see how the generous hosts
will be replaced in a few generations by the hordes of unchecked immigrants.
We
are a few days away from the passage of the Comprehensive Immigration Bill, an
amnesty that Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight are pushing very hard,
responding to the wishes of corporations who want cheap labor and of Americans
who want 11 million new Democrat voters. Progressives, business groups, donors,
software billionaires such as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg strongly support the
bill in spite of the fact that average wages, education levels, and employment
will be depressed for at least ten years. http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/23/sessions-border-surge-amendment-doesnt-require-surge/#ixzz2X6RvkHLt
Heritage
Foundation graphically points out the ten problems with the Gang of Eight
Immigration Bill: (http://blog.heritage.org/2013/06/24/morning-bell-10-problems-with-the-gang-of-eight-immigration-bill/?roi=echo3-16058868421-13347261-60332605b5a3a7c19c92c28f8042c315&utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell)
1.
Granting
amnesty encourages more illegal immigration.
2.
Trillions
will be spent on government benefits for those receiving amnesty.
3.
The
border will not be secured.
4.
The
national debt crisis and out-of-control spending will balloon.
5.
The
already bloated bureaucracy will have to be expanded to accommodate amnesty.
6.
DHS
receives new powers.
7.
Four
million legal immigrants are still waiting on the resolution of their cases.
8.
States
cannot meet their local needs.
9.
Pork
projects are included in the 1,190 page Immigration Bill such as special
treatment for Alaskan seafood processing and $1.5 billion for youth job
training.
10.
Worst
of all, it promotes dependence on government.
Do
the Washington power elites care that hard-working Americans will have to pay trillions
of dollars in welfare costs and will have to accept lower wages in the process?
Do they care that the borders must be enforced because Americans are not safe
from further unwanted invasion of illegal aliens? Judging by the fact that lawmakers
want amnesty first and foremost and have no desire to build the border fence
for which funds have been approved and appropriated long time ago, the answer
is no.
