Opposing amensty isn’t racism

Posted 26 May 2007 in illegal immigration, multiculturalism

Blogmeister USA has written an excellent post in response to WaPo columnist Michael Gerson’s ludicrous harangue, picking apart his allegations of racism against anyone opposing the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.”

Illegal aliens have not only shown disregard for our laws, but expect to be rewarded for doing so. This bill would do just that — reward lawbreakers while others who have applied for citizenship the proper way must sit back and watch while linejumpers reap rewards that legal applicants have waited years and paid plenty of money for. As it is, illegal aliens are already receiving freebies that American citizens (and other legal residents) must pay for.

She not only addresses the economic issues involved with blanket amnesty, but also the related predicament being created by the current surge of illegal immigrant belligerence.

There is a problem, egged on by the multiculturalism movement, with some immigrant groups being less eager to embrace American culture and become one with it, preferring instead to create communities that are more like the country they came from. If they prefer the comforts of home, then why did they leave? The American dream is not just a piggy bank waiting to be raided. It’s all-encompassing. To be proud of one’s heritage is one thing. To completely re-create life the way it was before coming to our shores is quite another.

I couldn’t have put it any better. Read the whole thing.
