NFTGJ: On “Preserving a National Spirit and Character”

 

 

That ground-shaking sensation under your feet might well be the United States getting ready to vomit out illegal aliens that have heretofore infected it with so much social sickness and literal disease.

 

Any effort to mitigate losses by the infecting organism at this stage is utterly hopeless, and will neither mitigate nor forestall the host's chosen action.

 

Nevertheless, let’s walk down the path of absurdities a bit and shoot down a couple of the left’s key talking points:

 

- The left has been welcoming the illegal Mexican invasion calling it "diversity" for some time, but it is precisely this invasion which so overwhelms by numbers other groups legally immigrating, that threatens diversity.

 

And we need to call "racist" the red herring that it is. Most, if not all large countries in this hemisphere are made up of white, black, Indian and other groups. Mexico is no different. Unfortunately, Mexico has historically been very racist and run by elite white Spaniards, but this is neither our fault nor our problem. A Mexican is no more a race than an guppy is something other than a fish. Disliking illegal Mexican invaders is no different than disliking annoying Frenchmen, any Canadians who happen to be snotty or an annoying person from New Jersey. The racism charge falls helplessly flat before any thinking person.

 

Despite the fact most sociologists, anthropologists, and other experts since W.E.B. Dubois have agreed there is no such thing as “race”, the left often throws out the term “racist” as if it truly means anything. Of course the argument is that this is really about ethnocentrism. So the argument goes that it is the Mexican culture which makes its people a minority; that the fact these illegals speak Spanish makes them somehow a minority and an endangered species. The difficulty with this of course is that Spanish-speaking people represent the largest language group in the Western hemisphere… nay, the entire world! Minority, my foot!

 

But English is the language of our Constitution and if we lose respect for our language and don’t control the borders along with requiring assimilation by legal immigrants, we deny our children the ability to readily read and understand for themselves our founding documents or other key aspects of our history that have made us great.

 

- On the “doing jobs Americans won’t do” front, we need to admit to ourselves that this is a sick way to treat a symptom – "we" being both our politicians and even those of us opposed to illegal immigration. The problem is that illegals do jobs we aren’t making our teenagers do. Instead, far more of our teenagers than is indeed healthy are driving shiny new cars, buying designer clothes with their parents’ credit cards and learning nothing of character and responsibility – and certainly very little of love of country.

 

If you want to do your kids, and indeed America a favor, send the illegals home… with your teenagers' cars, designer duds, purple hair and tats… and stick your kid in Taco Bell or the local riding stable to clean stalls.

 

Plus if that teen gets into a wreck (in the car the teen pays for) on the way to the job no one wants to do, he or she  won’t get the illegal alien accident exemption, which translates into lower insurance premiums for the rest of us and probably fewer accidents. The illegal alien exemption of course applies to many things, especially in sanctuary cities, but here it’s when authorities give a pass to illegal aliens who cause car accidents by looking the other way, leaving the other driver to pick up the tab.
