Newsweek’s Clift: U.S. Illegal Alien Wave a 'Happy Invasion'; Says 'We Love the Diversity of Food'
Newsbusters ^ | May 2, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Pure genius, I tell you. With an estimated half a million illegal immigrants residing in Arizona according to the Pew Hispanic Center, questions are being raised about what this means for the United States and its national identity. But according to Newsweek contributing editor Eleanor Clift, it's a "happy" thing with lots of upside.

On the May 2 airing of "The McLaughlin Group," show moderator John McLaughlin raised the issue about the country's identity, particularly when it comes to English as the United States' primary language.

"The bedrock is national identity," McLaughlin said. "If the national identity suffers by reason of multiple languages, then the bedrock of our society, which is our identity, being an American is an American. English preserves that."

Words fail. People like Clift are as fanatical in their beliefs as they are stupid.

What an idiot. We have plenty of legal Mexicans here who cook good Mexican food. We don’t need illegals to do it.

I did some Google-image searching for a "current" pic of her.....nothing newer than at least a decade ago.

She must still give a good hummer to accomplish that.

Waddaya think, is Eleanor a Taco Bell or a Del Taco kind of gal?

I hope she chokes on the next bowl of Menudo she scarfs down. It could only help relations between the Brown and the White people that Eleanor rubs shoulders with every day.

You can't fix dumb and ugly.

Most photos are taken at a distance...next time she’s on the tube, check......*LOL*....NOW YOUR all going to be watching and sayin “dang that Doogle,I can’t stop gawking at her molars”

eleanor clift is the epitome of WDC inside-the-beltway intellectual snobs. Why the heck is an snob? Obviously, she has had a series of eschemic strokes contributing to the detrimental effect of being a liberal. What a doofus she is.

Yes, yes. Forget the billions of dollars a year they cost us, the crime they bring, the poverty the bring...AT LEAST THEY HAVE GREAT FOOD!

I need a “BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL” emoticon.

“The stupid twit has evidently never been to Osaka or Singapore. Great culinary diversity without the gang bangers.”

Good point! Oh and BTW how do they treat illegal aliens in Singapore?;)

Happy invasion?

10% unemployment (17% factoring in underemployed and those that have given up).

Illegals drive wages down. Second generation of crime statistics, welfare, etc. comparable to African-Americans.

No nation that doesn’t preserve its borders will survive.

Surely the humble taco makes up for the tens of millions of criminal invaders breaking our laws every day simply by being here in the first place.

And no one can deny the power of guacamole to pay for all of the jobs lost and billions of dollars sent out of the country to prop up the corrupt and crime infested regime just over the border.

I know those lives snuffed out at the hands of illegals, women and children raped by men who wouldn't be here if the laws were simply enforced, wouldn't dream (were they simply able to rise from their graves or hospital beds) of denigrating the awesome power of the chimichanga to salve the most horrible of ragged emotional wounds.

Eleanor, your words of wisdom should be a beacon unto us all.

Besides they could have mailed the recipe. They didn't have to invade the country to bring the taco here.
