Immigrant: We don't want to turn America into the same crappy place we came from

I wish I shared your optimism. I live in an area that is overrun with immigrants, many illegal. The areas they have settled in no longer resemble the neighborhood it was before they arrived. I understand the concept of 'little fill-in-the-blank' areas as my own family started out in America in an area such as that but this is much different. There is no 'melting' in this pot, there is complete transformation.

In the past, immigrants wanted to be Americans and worked hard to achieve a balance of assimilation while maintaining and sharing their traditions. The attitude now is absent of assimilation, it's takeover and it's supported by our government by using our tax dollars to print materials in foreign languages, requiring our children to learn foreign languages and teaching children about 'diversity'.

Neither do I but I expect we may have to go through some tough times as will our children and theirs before we ever get back on track...
God bless our founders for giving us proven guidelines to follow to get us back to the great country we once were...

Way to go, Gaffer. I did something very similar a few weeks ago when I saw Senators arguing for amnesty on Fox. I sent letters out of state, too. I was surprised when Rand Paul wrote me back, even if it was a form letter trying to justify why he was going to push for it anyway. I just hope this Texan earned a tally mark in the “against” column on his ledger. We need to flood those offices and overwhelm the staff with post cards, letters, emails and calls telling them that immigration the RIGHT way is the only way.

I understand what you are saying and the deep meaning behind it, but I have a different view. I think God gave us our talents and our energy and He’ll be disappointed in us if we don’t use them. Rather than God deciding against America, maybe He is testing us. Patriotism is never out of season and there is never a time to give up. Our founding fathers fought against overwhelming odds. Can we do any less? It may not seem like we can ever succeed, but are we ever justified in surrendering to evil? I hope we don’t get to the point of saying “Give me liberty or give me death” but it certainly acknowledges that there are some fates worse than death.

CALLER: Thank you very much, Rush. I was born in Argentina, before I became an American, the best nation that ever was. I grew up learning songs of praise to Evita. In kindergarten they made us sing and dance songs of praise, that when I hear now kids in school learning songs of praise to Obama, I get a chill in my mind.

RUSH: I can imagine you do.

Rush, so do I!

CALLER: Now, I want to tell you this. Most Hispanics, like me and many friends that I have, we don't want to make America the same crappy place we came from. That's the last thing in our hope. Most of us are conservatives. Some are conservative, I'm a patriot, I love America.

Pablo, thank you. America may not be utopia, but it is the best country on the planet.

RUSH: Well, you know what, Pablo, it's a good point. A mistake is being made in that all Spanish speaking people are being lumped into Hispanics. But of course you are Argentinean.

CALLER: I'm American.

Pablo, the LIBERAL-AMERICANS hate you for calling yourself an AMERICAN, not a _______-American.

RUSH: American. Others are Mexican, others are from Cuba, others from Hispanola, El Salvador. They're all over the place, and they do have cultural differences. They're not monolithic.

CALLER: But most of us do not want to make America the place where we come from. We don't want to destroy America. We are not liberal. We're not Democrats. We're not socialist. We lived our own version of socialism in our nation, and it didn't work.

Why do they join the Marxist Party (fka Democratic Party) when they vote?

CALLER: They learn quickly, like I learned, Rush, when I went from 15 to 21 years old, I was a communist myself in Argentina. So I know a communist when I hear one, when I see one. I was one. I studied. I can still sing you the International, and I can tell you by heart the manifesto. Of course I'm a patriot, I'm American and a conservative, a hundred percent now. But I can tell you, I recognize a communist. And we have that in government. And that is a terrible thing that is happening to America that I would've never thought could happen. I mean, if America's gone, there is nothing left. There's nowhere to go.

RUSH: That's it. We are it. There is no other place on earth that is going to stand up for the freedom of anybody, anywhere.

Pablo, Thank you for seeing that Marxism/Communism is not for the people, only the powerful.

CALLER: And I wish most Americans will stop taking all the freedoms for granted and understand that we can also collapse. I mean, it happened before. Socialism, what it does to you economically is the least of the damage. What it does to the spirit of people is absolutely horrendous and that's forever. I have business in the Ukraine. I have to go there sometimes, and I deal with people that lived under communism. And I tell you, their spirits are broken, because they are unable to trust on anything because that's what communism teaches you, to distrust everything, including yourself.

Amen, Pablo!!! I hope you will tell your kids that!!!

RUSH: That's exactly right. That's exactly right. Broken spirits, no hope, no aspirations, no ambition, no dreaming.

CALLER: Right. They become sarcastic and that's the end because at that point they cannot take anything seriously, not even their own freedom, their own life. They cannot fight for their own life. They give up and they believe that that is the normal status of the man, they never saw anything else, and you cannot repair it. And we have that in Argentina, and that's why Argentina, even though they have the third largest shale deposit in the world, is totally bankrupt and will continue to be that way as a result of Peronism, which was our own version of socialism.

RUSH: You know, Pablo, I can hear the voice of experience when you talk, I can hear it. I don't know, I wish people like you ran for office, but I know you don't want the media anal exam that you would get, but keep talking. Keep talking. I'm glad you called.

I wish everyone could get this transcript printed and pass it out to everyone they know. Pablo is what we need, not the LAZY people who come to get benefits.

“do most Americans even know that the politicians are trying to rush this Amnesty bill through? or that there is even an Amnesty bill or even less what’s in it?”

No. The media/amnesty whores have done a good job. Most people believe ‘conservatives’ object to legal, orderly immigration. The public doesn’t even realize this ‘reform’ is about illegal aliens, they think it’s all immigrants. And they have NO idea that the border is wide open.
