Phyllis Schlafly: Are Mexican Immigrants Assimilating Or Invading?

Too Good Reports ^ | December 2, 2001 | Phyllis Schlafly

No doubt, in 100 years Mexican-American snobs will be looking down their noses at [insert next immigrant wave] and making dire predictions about the decline of American culture.

In 100 years there will be no Mexico or United States.

. My knowledge of history leads me to believe that 100 years from now this country will be a balkanized region of half a billion mostly poor souls, separated into dozens of third-world cultures, with a small number of rich elite running a massive, totalitarian welfare state that will make the Stalinist excesses of the former USSR look like a paradise.

Sounds about right to me. California is leading the way. And it makes us sooo proud.

At that time, Oxnard Ca. was 20% Mexican primarily because there are a lot of farms out this way. Now Oxnard is 65-70% Mexican.The crime rate has increased 120%...the homicide rate is up 260%....gangbangers abound and older people are afraid to go out at night. Pretty little homes in 1983 are now slums by the HUNDREDS,and property values have plummeted.

It was bad when I worked there in '89. Half our clients did not speak english....when they wanted to, that is. Workers comp claims always jumped at the end of each season (i.e. strawberry, celery, watermelon, ect...) We could time it to the tee. And we had to keep our car doors locked and secured at all times during a typical work day. Lovely.

I wished I knew the answer, other than being vigilant in our own neighborhoods. Take them back. Maybe as communities, we can get them back too.

Turn of the Vacancy sign.

Dang, who left the sign on?

The cable and construction companies should be heavily fined when they get caught hiring an illegal alien.

The Irish and European Catholics brought with them European culture and values.
Mexicans bring neither.

Wrong.

You are right, this is the biggest problem facing the US, barring a nuclear attack. Bush seems to embrace this influx of illegals into this country. He wanted to give amnesty to 3 million illegals(by the way folks this makes them felons). Why should Bush care he is a multimillionaire. However it will be the middle class of America that will pay the heavy price.

[PRND21]

EVERY question you ask in your post #76 had been addressed.
Read the damn thread before you attack.

[Travis McGee]

IMHO, you cannot have enough 5.56 and 7.62mm on hand for that day.

BLOAT!

"Mvscal is a college graduate and a Gulf War veteran"

I wonder how many points affirmative action boy had added to his raw SAT scores to get into college?

[Squantos]

You call your grandfather a wetback ? He must be real proud of you. So nice that you can use racist remarks against your family members from one side of your two faces while attacking the opinions of others as racist comments..........

How long have you been a member of the flat earth society ?

[doc]

Move to the barrios of Santa Ana, Ca.. With the flood of illegals from Mexico comes increased crime, welfare receipiants, drug smuggling, corruption, lower standard of living, a desire by many not to assimilate, etc.... Why stop with Mexico, why not open the borders to every third world nation? We can't discriminate against the rest of the world.

[kstewskis]

Bush seems to embrace this influx of illegals into this country. He wanted to give amnesty to 3 million illegals(by the way folks this makes them felons).

Has Bush ever come out and say *why* this would be beneficial to our country (other than for some economic reasons, which are not completely valid, imho)? I must've really missed something. Or is it just a "border state governor" thang?

[Tailback]

Bump. Still waiting for answers to my questions from mvscal.
Ah yes, the typical response to the Mexican invasion of the USA. Let me ask you this, when my Irish, Welsh, and English ancestors came to America were they eligible for welfare? Were they given job finding assistance at the employment dept. in their native language? Were they given free emergency medical care? Were they given more preference points for government jobs than some military veterans? Were they eligible for Social Security and Medicare even though they hadn't paid in their fair share? Were the Irish that came to Ellis island with tuberculosis allowed into the country? Did the Welsh immigrants smuggle cocaine when they crossed the border? Did these people NOT assimilate into the AMERICAN culture after 3 or 4 generations? Did my great grandmother recieve WIC benefits once my grandfather was born (during the depression)? Who the he!! do you think pays out the nose for all of the above benefits? Is it the Mexican illegals or is it the average American taxpayer? Well, considering the fact that most of the amigos that work in the fields here in the Willamette valley are working under the table I would say that Joe sixpack is footing the bill. You sir are comparing apples to oranges. History repeats itself and the USA is currently following the Roman Empire's recipe for self destruction with the help of your Spanish speaking friends.

[kstewskis]

Amen Carol. Well stated.

[Squantos]

Very good post Danielle .......Albeit the disruptor won't respond to honest debate IMHO. S/he's just one more idiot savant that has fell face first in their own pile of crap and won't be back with anything other than more personal attacks and a fake resume no one can validate.

But then this is FR and it's their lie so let them tell it like s/he want's.....

Ya'll Stay Safe !

You've made imputations that the notation of someone's criminality (to wit: Lozano's felonious conviction)...that my specificity in naming her 'makes me a bad person'.

The only reason you brought her up is because of her ethinicity. You can tell me all the "some of my best friends are Hispanic" stories you want, but the fact is you used Lozano as an example of slimy Hispanics, not slimy Democrats.
