More distortions and propaganda from mass immigration advocates in the media:
Few things are sadder or more treacherous than closing the door to immigrants who came after us, which is what some U.S. presidential candidates want to do. . . . Nonetheless the current campaign cycle has been characterized by Republicans’ harsh attacks on immigrants. . . . Almost every GOP candidate has labeled undocumented immigrants “illegal,”. . . . And most of the Republican candidates . . . are opposed to offering a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S.
Of course, most incomprehensible for many Hispanics is that the two Latino candidates, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, have taken such a harsh stance against immigrants who are here simply because they’re doing the jobs that Americans won’t do.
Fact Check: Ramos, a new anchor for the Spanish-language Univision Network, suggesting that if one is an immigrant or has immigrant parents, then he is morally obliged to advocate limits on immigration. Such a notion is absurd. To illustrate, if a man applies for a job at a company and is hired, is he obligated to claim that the company must hire all future job applicants because he was once one? Of course not. By becoming an employee, the former applicant has an obligation to give greater loyalty to the employing company and its interests, than his own. And it is never in the interest of a company to have to hire everyone, without qualification, who wants to become an employee.
Similarly, when a foreigner comes here and becomes an American, he is obligated to seek what is best for his country, and that in some cases means turning away foreigners whose numbers and diversity undermine national cohesion and cause many other problems. If an immigrant doesn’t develop this mindset as he becomes a citizen, then there is good reason to doubt his loyalty and patriotism.
A case in point is none other than Ramos himself, who is the author of a book entitled The Latino Wave. Purely and simply, it is a blueprint for Latino supremacy. The greater good of America is of little concern to this Mexican immigrant as he gloats in the book that “The United States is becoming Latino. . . . [B]y 2050, whites will become just one more minority in this country. . . . The Latino wave is advancing unstoppably, [and] inexorably. . . . “This demographic revolution is, of course, a cultural one as well. . . . The growth of the Latino community will significantly change the power structure within the United States. . . .”
Ramos makes scant mention of immigrants assimilating to America. What interests him is his ethnicity imposing its will on everyone else by changing the “power structure.” Do Americans want their country to become an extension of Latin America, with all the cultural failures of that region? Well, it doesn’t matter what we want because, according to Ramos, there is nothing we can do to stop it.
Really? One thing we certainly can do is exercise our democratic right to change immigration. Perhaps Ramos doesn’t understand our culture in this respect, preferring instead the Latin American tradition of dictatorial government. Also we can insist that our leaders enforce our immigration laws and encourage the 11 million illegal aliens now residing here to go home.
Such a suggestion clearly would bother Ramos. He gets upset even when someone refers to illegal aliens as being illegal. This attitude shows his basic indifference to our country’s rule of law, and his desire to reward lawbreakers with our citizenship reflects a very low regard for the worth and value of that citizenship. Like so many mass immigration advocates, Ramos conflates legal and illegal immigration. In doing so it is he who is anti-immigrant. By advocating for illegal aliens, Ramos is truly suggesting that immigrants (meaning legal immigrants) were fools to play by our rules.
Immigration supporters maintain that many immigrants have benefitted our country. But they certainly don’t include Jorge Ramos. He’s a poster boy for immigration restriction.
