The cost of caring for this massive influx of illegals is devastating the economy of the USA.

Hispanic advancement has been minimal in California with its high welfare spending and taxes. Hispanics have done better in low-welfare, low-tax, high-economic-growth Texas.

This should be the Republican message to Hispanics!

Is he talking in this report about LEGAL immigrants?

Those that are here illegally are looking for a handout from the government, not a legitimate job where you pay taxes. This, of course, would keep them in a “second class” status because they want to be taken care of and not improve themselves by assimilating into the culture. I’m guessing that they also aren’t pursuing college as much as other immigrants.

How about 2 words....Obola and GOP. Theyre both up to their ears in this and neither is interested in enforcing the current laws. Its should be clear that neither party is interested in the welfare of the country. So, lets give credit where credit is due.

The Hispanic underclasses are busy in Texas---decimating the US as we know it.....infiltrating the educational system w/ Third World propaganda.

US history is being scrubbed from curricula. The WH ding-a-ling's obsession w/ emptying out the Third World into the US is turning US schools into refugeecamps........w/ big plans to inculcate the savage illiterates w/ hate-America, anti-American ideology....IOW reliable Democrat voters.

==================================================

REFERENCE--Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire.

(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

=============================================

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

==============================================

REALITY CHECK A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B summarily "changed" the tests so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.

An exception, as he notes, is America in the period from 1892, when the Ellis Island immigration station opened, until mass immigration was ended by World War I in 1914 and restrictive legislation in 1924. Ellis Islanders and their descendants rose rapidly up the educational and economic ladder

And this immigration was overwhelmingly European. Now we have just the opposite with both legal and illegal immigration being largely Hispanic and very ethnically/racially different. In addition we have a political system that is specifically anti-white and enforces these racial differences.

What has changed over the years is that the U.S. has become an economy built on personal consumption rather than production. What this means is that it is now in our best interests to flood the place with as many immigrants as possible no matter how well they assimilate — or even if they assimilate at all. All that matters is that they buy a lot of crap and keep the wheels of American businesses churning. And if they aren’t even capable of earning a living themselves then we’ll just add to our $17T national debt and get Asian holders of U.S. bonds to finance their consumption.

When my grandparents came here in the early 20’s, they LOVED America and were overjoyed to be American citizens. They could not assimilate fast enough.

NOT so the Mexicans and others from south of the US border.

THEY hate the US and American values, traditions, laws...etc. They waste no opportunity to emphasize how much they are NOT and never will BE American. LA RAZA ring a bell?

They will NEVER assimilate and cannot be compared to immigrants who came here in the past with every interest in becoming AMERICAN!!!

I disagree. Hispanics today are not held down by economic need. They, like the vast majority of blacks, are held down by refusing to assimilate into American culture. They refuse to, as the blacks say, act white, and thus they block themselves off from advancement.

We in these United States have developed a culture where everyone can succeed. It is perhaps the only culture in the world that empowers people this way.

Refusing to participate fully in that culture keeps people trapped in the culture they came from. Blacks remain trapped as economic slaves because they refuse to give up the slave culture. Hispanics remain trapped as mexican peasants because they refuse to give up the peasant culture.

With the exception of the poverty pimps, drug dealers, rappers and professional athletes, every successful black or hispanic has embraced the greater American culture.

Bill Cosby, Allen West, Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell etc etc etc are not “black” as we normally think of black. They are “us” with really good tans.

The same is true for the successful blacks I know in my own real life. These are hard-working, church-going, family people. For the most part they have the same culture that I do. I am as comfortable in their living room as I am in my own, why? Because we share the same culture. They are me with good really tans.

(And alternately the (admittedly few) unsuccessful blacks I know are still mired in the slave culture)

What should we do about immigration policy? Enforce it and we'd have no problems. As for the ones here illegally give them 90 days to get out or:

“This should be the Republican message to Hispanics!”

It should be but one, they don’t get it and two, they are
already conditioned to jackleg tyranny. And the ones that
are capable of understanding it are afraid of the responsibility
of being a sovereign individual citizen.

In other words, we are importing permanent welfare recipients.

I’m currently in Miami and the Cubans here seem to be happy to live like they’re still in Havana. They relieve themselves on the street and refuse to speak english. You should of seen what it took to try to order a sandwich in a local Subway...

Why are Hispanic failing to move up?.. because the majority (the illegals) have no respect for the country the USA and it people are just something to exploit.

There is a fundamentally different mind set between a legal and illegal..

legal immigrates come here to be part of the county to move up to grow.. to be Americans

Illegals come to to get what the can and sent back..

Truth is i grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood.
The legal Hispanic immigrants moved up fast.. there want to be Americans and were some the best you could ask for.. funny I think most Americans find the true legal immigrants make some of the best Americans because they know what they're here for and they know what this country is about

The illegals. . Not so. to the illegal, America is just something to take advantage of and exploit ..they have no respect for it and its peoples.. they shown it by their very first act by the way they came here... America is not something to be respected but be exploited.

And the truth was the legals Hispanic immigrants detested the illegals ..
