Read her book. It's stuffed with facts that prove non-white Third Worlders commit much more crime and are much less productive.
Tough stuff for some to swallow, perhaps, but it's true.
" We should focus on voters who follow the tradition of MLK (at least as that tradition is encapsulated in that line from his most famous speech)."
MLK was an America-hating leftist. We as conservatives should want nothing to do with his "traditions."
I am not arguing that. However, we cannot dismiss the conservatives among them. I have neighbors who are Hispanic Catholics, gun owners, and enthusiastic Cruz supporters. Even if people like them are only 20% of the minority population, they are worth having on our side.
MLK was an America-hating leftist. We as conservatives should want nothing to do with his "traditions."
His call to judge others by the content of their character and not the color of their skin was (1) the correct moral and practical standard, and (2) a good political line to use in opposing racist policies such as affirmative action.
My point is not to ignore white voters. We need to ignore race and appeal to all conservative voters, while articulating the morality and practical superiority of small government conservatism to attract more patriotic voters.
When?
I'm not saying try to appeal to black voters as blacks. That's foolish. Decent people cannot appeal based on race; we have to leave that tactic to the socialists. I'm saying appeal based on conservatism, without any reference to race.
We cannot sell Ted Cruz as the Hispanic candidate for "diversity", or some such nonsense, since he doesn't speak that language. We can sell Ted Cruz as an American candidate who can articulate why conservatism is best for all Americans.
That sounds great in theory, but the facts are something different. According to Ann's book, which I'm currently reading:
Minnesota has gone from 99% European to 20% African (Somali) immigrant. As a result, crime has greatly increased, welfare more than doubled, and mosques are being built all over the place.
Since we started admitting floods of Third World immigrants, our prison populations have sextupled.
In New York State prisons, foreign inmates were 70% more likely to be incarcerated for violent crimes than American inmates. The top ten countries of the immigrant inmates were:
Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Guyana, El Salvador, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Ecuador, and Colombia. These countries were represented by the hundreds and thousands, in some cases.
In contrast, there were 49 from England, and a few other European countries represented in the single digits. There was 1 Dane.
Coulter writes exhaustively about the hugely disproportionate amount of crimes committed by Hispanics compared to whites, Hispanics have the highest unwed birth rates in the country, even higher than that of blacks. Hispanics who are American citizens vote 8-2 for Democrats because they want the social programs.
We are discussing unrelated issues. I agree that illegals should all be deported. I strongly oppose any form of Amnesty that rewards criminals. I support the opposite - fingerprint, retina-scan, and DNA swab all illegals and permanently bar them from any legal reentry and any legal path to citizenship. Change the interpretation of the anchor baby clause. An illegal is not subject to the jurisdiction of our government, as their governments always point out, so their babies are not citizens just because they were born while illegally present on our territory.
The problem isn’t only with illegals.
80% of LEGAL immigrants, most who come from the third world, as you know, vote democrat. The USA cut all immigration except for the replacement number of 250,000 per year from 1924 to 1965....we survived.
The family wouldn't need to be "reunified" if the migrant interloper didn't come here in the first place.
To include elderly parents, who will burden our health care system, while never putting a cent into it.
You are correct. And....the extended family who arrives get to bring other family members. It NEVER ends. Most immigration is from the third world. I think 40 million immigrants since 1965 is ENOUGH.
Nonsense. It is the only way to save America.
And ending immigration doesn't mean not dealing with a few 10s of thousands of minor administrative immigrants.
For the first generations of America, as we were building this great nation, we only averaged about 6,000 people like ourselves, coming into our nation annually.
That was JFK’s long time goal, and it was passed after his death.
JFK ran on a platform of chain immigration.
Cruz speaks Spanish.
How many American blacks speak the language of their racial tribe?
You are right. He, and his 2 brothers made this a priority.
It was JFK’s baby, his two brothers took it up after his death.
“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.
In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.
After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”
“We assimilate the ones already here.”
Mitt Coulter. “I’ll gladly fix immigration tuesday for amnesty today”.
