Tancredo, Tom - (Rep. R-CO, chair House Immig. Reform Caucus)
"We need a cohesive society. We need a language in which we can all communicate. Even that ... is being challenged continually. Bilingual education, as an example, is where children are placed in classes and taught in a language other than English for the purpose, they say, of increasing their educational attainment levels. But even when it is shown over and over again that there is no actual increase in educational attainment levels, people still push bilingual education. So you have to ask yourself why. What is the purpose? If it is not to actually help a child accomplish something, ... obtain a better education, then why are we doing it? It is, I suggest ... as a result of this radical multiculturalism; the idea that we do not want people to disconnect from that other culture, wherever they came from and what they were, and connect to a new one. We want to foster this Balkanizing sort of phenomenon that we are experiencing in the United States."
(Congressional Record: February 26, 2002, pp. H551-H554)

I don't know if I could have said it any better than Tancredo. Leftists have this notion that anything Caucasian, Anglo, or Christian is bad. Anything that can be done to undermine respect and adherence to those things is good.
Leftists also have the patience of Job. If it takes 50 years to inculcate people against anything Caucasian, Anglo, and Christian, they'll patiently keep at it in little, almost imperceptible steps until they've succeeded in overhauling America into what they want it to be. Which, incidentally, is something completely opposite of what America was intended to be.
