Michael Gerson continues the winning tradition of this administration of insulting the base whenever they have the temerity to question the godlings and lords who know what’s best for us. He starts off hitting all the notes we’ve come to expect from our “betters…”

Nativist!

In 1882, Congress passed and President Chester Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act. Today we don’t name laws as bluntly as we used to. But anti-immigrant sentiments are very much alive, this time expressed in opposition to the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.

Bigoty-bigot!

For a certain kind of conservative, any attempt to grant a legal status to illegal immigrants is as welcome as salsa on their apple pie. One conservative commentator claims that the law is “going to erase America”

Worship our new overlords!

If a Republican presidential candidate doesn’t get about 40 percent of the Latino vote nationwide, he or she doesn’t stand much of a chance on an electoral map where Florida and the Southwest figure prominently. A nativist party will cease to be a national party.

Scaremongering xenophobios!

But the real passion in this debate is not political, it is cultural — a fear that American identity is being diluted by Latino migration. Tancredo is the lowbrow expression of this fear. Professor Samuel Huntington of Harvard University, whom Tancredo calls an intellectual mentor, presents the highbrow version. Huntington argues that Mexican migration is a threat to American unity and to the “core” of our cultural identity.

Latinos are magically delicious!

Conservatives need to be reminded that Latinos — Protestant and Catholic — are, in some ways, different from the mainstream culture. Higher percentages attend church regularly. Higher percentages of Latino immigrants are married; lower percentages are divorced.

Goddamn it! Jesus wants you to support illegal immigration!

For Rodriguez and others, religion adds an element beyond politics and culture to the immigration debate. The Christian faith teaches that our common humanity is more important than our nationality.  (I almost can’t believe a CFR weenie said this, out loud, with his mouth!)

And now for the interesting bit tucked in at the very most end, almost like an afterthought…

“The elephant in the room,” says Rodriguez, “is the Latinoization of America. What are the results? America will be a more religious nation. America will continue to be a nation that promotes family values. Wow, that really turns American culture upside down.”

Really Senor Rodriguez? Is that what we’re seeing currently? Unlike Senor Rodriguez I won’t demonize “immigrants,” but I will say what I see, those who come here illegally seem to commit more crimes. I can’t say that with assurance because, well, you know.

Here’s the problem principled conservatives like myself and others have with the patent nonsense Senor Rodriguez is peddling, he wants special treatment for “his people” based on ethnicity and skin color, all the while decrying this countries attempts to enforce the law. Amnesty is no longer an issue that people of good will can simply disagree about, we actually are talking about the continuance of the culture that created America, versus the culture that has spawned so much misery in our “good friend” to the South.

That’s the point, when these tasty and delicious immigrants come in the overwhelming numbers of the last few (president bush supported) years they import more than a strong back or a willing pair of hands, they import their culture as well.

And let’s take a minute and ask ourselves if we want anything to do with the culture of Mexico, the culture that the crispy delicious illegal aliens are fleeing as a burning building you might recall?

What makes me think this? Is it because of my virulent hatred of “cute brown” people? Could be, but you know what’s even more likely?

This quote from an illegal immigrant…

“We’re in a state [Kentucky] where there’s nothing but Americans. The police control the streets. It’s clean, no gangs. California now resembles Mexico - everyone thinks like in Mexico. California’s broken.”

Hmmm, now, let’s extrapolate that out as the cancer of illegal immigration truly begins to metastasize across the country in greater and greater waves, encroaching in places which have not been exposed to the delights of Mexican style corruption and imagine where this delightful new majority might take us.

Gosh, I wonder if there might be any examples we could study? Why yes, yes there are…

At a city council meeting this March in Maywood, California, the illegal-alien sanctuary, a resident suggested that a council member was using English as a sign of disrespect.

The Herreras were once the only Latino family on their street.
“Now I see a white person and think, ‘What’s this person doing here?’ ” Benny, 69, said.

The change in demographics has brought a change in politics. As South Gate resident Julia Barraza said, “It’s like I never left Mexico.”

Campaigning could have taken place somewhere in Jalisco or Michoacan. Robles & Co. had the city give everyone a month of free trash collection, hand out baskets filled with groceries, present a plan for free medical care at a new city health clinic, and hold a drawing for a house. The drawing for the house was held at City Hall, gaily dressed with yellow balloons and reverberating with ranchera music.

…an election the Los Angeles Times admitted had “echoes of Third World-style campaigns.”

Latinoization?  No thanks!  You want Latino culture?  Then you are a very lucky person, just fire up your trusty vehicle, head South and before you know it you will enter a dark land of corruption and wonders.  You can stock up on just as much Latino culture as you can stand, for as long as you can stand it, but import it into America?

Let me ask the painfully obvious question that nobody seems to have the guts to ask…

What’s in it for us?

Seriously, what do Americans gain by importing a people who have already made a clear failure of the their homeland?  Do they magically become smarter when they cross the border?  Will they suddenly reject statist solutions? (I would remind you that the socialist candidate in the last Mexican election lost by less than a percentage point, not exactly a stunning victory for much of anything).

No, of course not, they bring these things in with them as though transmitted on the air, and their children will retain some of these things prolonging and extending our national pain.  Ever wonder why our country took such a hard left turn around the turn of the century?

Hmmm, what could have caused that?

But back to the point, while some immigration is a fine thing, like anything else too much immigration is an evil because we are not only importing the person but more likely than not we are also importing the very things that person was fleeing in their home country.

Not a good deal as far as I can see.  What say you?

Just some of the many benefits of the “Latinoization” of America…

Patriotism!

Sound political leadership!

Support for law enforcement!

Scenic wonders!

A desire to assimilate!

These are just some of the many, many benefits that accrue to America by further “Latinoization!”

I’m tingling with anticipation!
