How to fight Trump’s plan to whiten our immigration system
The Washington Post ^ | January 26 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 01/26/2018 11:20:38 AM PST by Architect of Avalon

Trump, Miller, Kelly and Sen. Tom Cotton (who fawned over the plan) have always denied they were out to curb legal immigration. However, the main thrust of this bill is, in fact, to cut and reshape legal immigration. The cat is out of the bag, so to speak, and Democrats should resist the invitation to use dreamers to leverage a deal that “whitens” our immigration system.

Quality educated people is what we want. We just don’t need more illiterate labor.

The globalists in our government are hell-bent on importing a permanent peasant class. This brings two different realities:

1. Most white people living outside the U.S. have no interest in moving here to be peasants.

2. Lower-class white people who do move here don't stay peasants for long.

There’s nothing in our immigration existing or proposed laws that discriminates based on race or skin color, is there?

A black person from England would not be treated differently because of his color, would he?

We’ve been on that “darkening” trajectory since 1965. If you objectively look at the results, they have not been good. It’s time to reassess and end that goal.

I could not agree more. When I visited Ireland a few years ago a fellow I met in Killarney joked that Ireland was like America's 51st state.

"Too bad you can't immigrate and become an American citizen, thanks to an Irish immigrant named Ted Kennedy and his immigration bill," I told him.

"They usually call Indians (the country) “brown people”. And there are quite a few accomplished/driven people from India who want to immigrate and would be welcome. Does Pelosi have a problem with India and only want central/south American brown people? Maybe she only wants people to clean her house and mow her yard, and not immigrants who will raise the community’s standard of living. Where does Pelosi stand on “yellow people”? Do they make the US “more white”? Does she only want non-white people who are likely to vote D?"

Indian Americans on average vote more Democratic than white citizens, but they are typically better educated, more than twice as likely to have college degrees than Americans as a whole, often work in STEM type professions and become more Republican with age and wealth.

That's not what the DemonRats are looking for. They want poor Latins with limited job skills and less of a future. The DemoRats need to replenish their permanent underclass that will remain solid Democrat voters forever.

Indiam Americans are far less likely to be looking to mow her lawn and do her laundry so that also may be a factor?

I agree. Shut down immigration completely for 25 years

This a**hole like most only see things via skin color. The true problem is lack of assimilation. The globalists and leftists would never allow anyone irregardless of color in who was actually conservative, assimilates and believes in God.

I don’t see it happening. Political Correctness is now too ingrained in the American consciousness.

There has been a 30 year bipartisan plan to steal the country from the citizens by importing foreigners.

It's been 53 years. We have Saint Ted Kennedy to thank for it.

I believe we need to stop ALL immigration for a considerable period of time – take a breather – and figure this immigration situation out.

America is for Americans and those who want to be Americans!

I posted this on the “Shock poll: Americans want massive cuts to legal immigration” (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3625037/posts) thread two days ago:

“This is a pretty good article about the steps the USA has taken over the years to control immigration: https://www.voanews.com/a/united-states-history-of-immigration-restrictions/3700234.html.

“In fact, there are a number of articles available on the Internet that trace the history of Immigration into the USA.

“We need time to assimilate all the legal immigrants and deport EVERY illegal immigrant. Then, maybe, we can resume a SAFE & SANE immigration program!

“America is for Americans, and we should only let those foreigners in who want to be Americans in America, not some hyphenated American!

“I think (HOPE! AND PRAY!) the Republicans play the immigration card properly, that is to say, in favor of America and the American people.

“We the People HAVE to win this battle, otherwise, we’ll lose the USA!”

She appears to have inherited Bob Hope’s nose.

Probably not, but the person from England would probably be discriminated against in favor of people from any number of sh*tholes.

Exactly. The left is forcing us to be (kinda) white nationalists. And beyond that for white hetero men to groupm and look out for our own interests, because everyone else puts us down and has it in for us. I am not talking paranoia. Its just the crazy way this country is heading even though we have Trump at the top. Look at all the liberal white men in Hollywood who did minor sexual harassment, who have has their careers terminated via idiotic claims by women who want to revise how they felt during a consensual encounter 10 or more years ago.

It actually had a lot more to do with Rep. Emanuel Celler than Kennedy. Kennedy for his part was happy to be the face of it and lie through his teeth about the legislations objectives.
