Obama Speaks, VDARE.com Refutes!

My quick thoughts on President Obama's                   much-promoted May 10 immigration speech:

            Obama nowhere mentioned the word "unemployment".

But he is urging not merely the amnestying of millions of                   undocumented Democrats, allowing them full access to the                   American job market, but also                   increasing legal immigration—already at record levels.

Simply put, under Obama the Democratic Party has definitively abandoned the American working class. Based on his priorities in this speech, it has now unmistakably become an alliance of             ethnic chauvinists and plutocrats like Michael ("Billionaire Golfers for Open Borders") Bloomberg.

            Still, Obama still felt compelled to disguise his argument in economic terms.

This is a confession of political weakness. Obama knows that                   Americans oppose amnesty and are against more immigration,

But in fact, among economists the consensus on immigration has been clear for 20 years, and was confirmed by the                   National Academy of Sciences report                   The New Americans back in 1997. My paraphrase:

            Americans do not benefit, in aggregate, from immigration. It does increase Gross Domestic Product—but the bulk of that is captured by the immigrants themselves, through their wages. Once transfer payments are factored in, American taxpayers are                               paying for their own dispossession. However, immigration does cause a transfer of income within the native-born community—from                   labor to the owners of capital, through its impact on wages. (See                         Bloomberg, above).

Nevertheless, Obama can still get away with citing his "economic" flim flam—because the truth has been suppressed.

This is an expression of the Treason Lobby's cultural power—and                   a reason you should                         give to VDARE.com.

            The                               anti-white, anti-American animosity that Obama is inciting is all too obvious—even in the edited White House speech transcript.

[Remarks by the President on Comprehensive Immigration Reform in El Paso, Texas, May 10, 2011]

Put aside the appalling phenomenon of a U.S. President again praising immigration law-breakers among his audience, as he                   did in his                   Miami-Dade commencement speech.

Look what happened when Obama                   claimed, albeit with                   stunning disingenuousness, that the Border Fence has been built:

      THE PRESIDENT: The fence is —

      AUDIENCE:  Booo!

      THE PRESIDENT:  The fence is now basically complete.

      AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Tear it down!"

      [Houston Chronicle Transcript Of Speech, As Delivered]

Obama did not reprove his audience. These are             Reconquistas that the Democrats are enlisting.

Again, look what happened when the President claimed, with                   more stunning disingenuousness, that—

      "…We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement. All the stuff they asked for, we've done.  But even though we've answered these concerns, I've got to say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time.

      AUDIENCE MEMBER:  They're racist!"

In Obama's America, of course, "racism" is                   essentially illegal—the charge is meant to end debate, and probably get the utterer charged with a "hate crime".

But again the President did not reprove his audience—indicating his utter indifference to             sincere concerns for the American worker. And for the American nation.

Well, at VDARE.com, we want to move the goal posts. And we don't care what names we're called.

These are the prerequisites that we regard as fundamental to any renewed immigration debate:

              Control the border. And we include                      visa overstayers.

              Moratorium on legal immigration—or what one of our supporters insists we should call                      "Comprehensive Immigration Reduction".

              Attrition through enforcement—let's find out exactly how many illegals will stay here if they can't                      steal jobs and                      taxpayer-funded subsidies;

And by       "subsidies",, we include ending             free education for             illegals (overthrow Plyler vs. Doe)                   and ending                               Birthright citizenship.

                  Make English the official language and prohibit employers from                         discriminating against                               monolingual English-speakers.              (cf. Quebec's language laws in defense of French)

                  Prohibit                               immigrants from receiving Affirmative Action quota preferences. I think                   Affirmative Action for American blacks is a bad idea, but immigrants weren't even here to be discriminated against in the first place.

You won't hear these prerequisites discussed anywhere else.
