The Immigration And Bilingual Crisis In America
By Frosty Wooldridge
Editor’s Note: The following article has been circulating around the web and recently arrived in my
e-mail. After reading it, and checking the existence of the speakers and reading their biographical information, I decided
it was worth your read. The meeting apparently occurred a few years ago. The story gives some startling insight into the corrent
issues behind the border dispute between the United States and Mexico.
There was an immigration over-population conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many
of American's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Davis Hansen 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. The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States.
He said, If you believe that America is too smug, too 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: "First, to destroy America, 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 bi-cultural societies
that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy."
“Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and 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: Second, to destroy America, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to
maintain their 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 solely to prejudice and discrimination
by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.
Third, "We could make the United States a '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 multiethnic
and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony.
“Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American,
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 subgroups living in America enforcing 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 that 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 worshiped 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 factors: local
patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. E. Pluribus Unum" -- From many, one.
In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will 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 multi-culturalism, 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 symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of
them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. 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.
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 corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California
and other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast.
It is reminiscent 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."
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,
it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path.
