- Last week, I attended an immigration-overpopulation conference
in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds
and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO's, representatives from Congress such
as Tom Tancredo as well as former governors graced the podium. Bonnie Eggle,
mother of the national parks ranger Chris Eggle, slain by Mexican drug
runners last year on our unguarded southern border--gave a compelling speech
that left not one dry eye in the place. Peter Gadiel, father of Jamie Gadiel,
spoke powerfully on how the World Trade Center took his son and how nothing
has been done since--to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United
States. Even with the façade of Tom Ridge's Homeland Security, 800,000
illegal aliens continue walking, crawling or tunneling across the Mexican
border annually. Their accelerating numbers are undermining America's ability
to function.
-
- During the conference, speaker after speaker astounded
the audience with facts on how fast the present administration and congress
continue dismantling the American Dream for average citizens. Mr. Rob Sanchez
of Arizona, showed how H1 B and L 1 visas have ripped one million high
tech jobs out of American worker's hands. Another speaker told a packed
audience how 'offshoring' and 'outsourcing', fully supported by the president
and congress have cost over three million American jobs in the past six
years. His prediction was even more depressing: "In excess of three
million more jobs will be 'outsourced' within four years. Those American
jobs are headed to Mexico, India, China, Pakistan and Brazil." Later,
a brilliant college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his
latest book, 'MEXIFORNIA', explaining how immigration, both legal and illegal,
was destroying the entire State of California. He said it would march across
the country until it destroyed all vestiges of the American Dream.
-
- Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm,
stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. This writer
sat in the audience spellbound by the eight methods for destruction of
the United States.
-
- He said, "If you believe that America is too smug,
to self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that
hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold
Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that,
"An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide."
-
- "Here is how they do it," Lamm said. "Turn
America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History
shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of
two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual
to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.
The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, "The histories
of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories
of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon-all
face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy,
if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed
an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and
Corsicans."
-
- Lamm went on, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage
immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of
belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences.
I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout
rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other
explanation is out of bounds."
-
- "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec'
without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity.
As Benjamin Schwarz said in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY recently: " The apparent
success of our own multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have
been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that
once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an America, we are
left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together."
-
- Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to
keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor
with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various
cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences rather
than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."
-
- "Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic
group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated,
undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second
underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."
-
- "My fifth point for destroying America would be
to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money.
I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology'.
I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault
of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority
failure on the majority population."
-
- "My sixth plan for America's downfall would include
dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity
over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse
people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other-that is, when
they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful or stable society
is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes
to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks: "The Greeks
believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language
and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part
in the Olympic games. A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet,
all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factorslocal patriotism
and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell.
In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead
of the 'unum, we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."
-
- "Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits-make
it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity'. I would
find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century-that stopped discussion
and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion
and debate."
-
- "Having made America a bilingual--bicultural country,
having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund
the doctrine of 'Victimology', I would next make it impossible to enforce
our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: "That because immigration
has been good for America, it must ALWAYS be good. I would make every individual
immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. The profound
silence allowed me to hear my heart beating. Finally, he said, "Lastly,
I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book 'MEXIFORNIA'. His book is dangerous.
It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to
be destroyed, don't read that book."
-
- There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like
an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American
in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically,
quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every
discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation
of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures
that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity'.
American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as greedy corporations
create a Third World in America-take note of California and other states-to
date, 10 million illegal aliens and growing, fast.
-
- It reminded me of George Orwell's book, '1984'. In that
story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War
is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is
strength." I sat there as one of the most patriotic Americans I know,
Governor Lamm, walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference
that our nation and the future of this great democracy, is deeply in trouble
and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within
three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything
in its path, especially the American Dream.
