Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, a Republican immigration hard-liner and part of what the Wall Street Journal just branded "the GOP's Deportation Caucus," was giving his retort to the paper's pro-business editorialists on Laura Ingraham's radio show Monday: "They need to be patriots, and they need to think about America first," Brooks said.
America First? How 1940! The congressman went on to condemn those who say the Republican position on immigration is dooming the party by alienating Latinos.
"This is a part of the war on whites that's being launched by the Democratic Party," Brooks said. "And the way in which they're launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. It's a part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare."
It was the battle cry of the white man, particularly the Southern white man, who is feeling besieged. I don't share the fear, but I understand it. The United States is experiencing a rapid decoupling of race and nationality: Whiteness has less and less to do with being American.
What the USA is experiencing is a President who proclaimed his southern border open to the entire world. A President who ordered the Border Patrol to stop arresting people for crossing at places other than a proper border access point. A President who has said he will unilaterally declare an amnesty for every illegal who is in the USA in September. Or maybe October, he was kinda vague about the actual date. Despite anything the Congress or the Senate might have to say about it.
Well Said Phantom! I agree and it will surely backfire ob the Democratic Party in about 4 more years or so.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what these “non-racists” would say if millions of “illegal white Europeans” finally had enough of Europe, Russia & Scandinavia and decided to flood North American shores?
ReplyDeleteThe fact is “white” is soon to be a minority in the US, and historically black communities are being displaced by Hispanic, at times by force.
Any bets on how the new Latino majority will treat its black and white minorities. We can always just ask La Raza, or look at the historical precedence set by Latin American countries towards their own aboriginals.
