ADIOS, AMERICA! THE
LEFT’S PLAN TO TURN OUR COUNTRY
INTO A THIRD WORLD
HELLHOLE (New York: Regnery Publishing, 2015)

Suppose Xi
Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, addressed the
people of his nation and announced that the Han Chinese, by far the largest
ethnic group in the country today, will become a minority in China later during
this century. Then, imagine the
audience, composed chiefly of Han, applauding!
And then Xi’s response to the change: to better educate the new people
who will replace the Han. Of course, the
scene is hard to imagine, because if Xi were to make such a speech, he would be
ousted from power within a week.
Imagine
India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi speaking to his nation – he looks forward
to the time when Indians will become a minority in India! And an Indian audience applauding! Such an announcement would be the death knell
for Modi’s political party, and Modi would be driven from office in shame. But these two suppositions are simply inconceivable
in reality, for neither Xi nor Modi would ever make such pronouncements.
On
Bastille Day, 14 July 1997, then President Bill Clinton of the United States
presented the commencement address at the Univ. of California, San Diego. He said, “Today, the State of Hawaii, …, has no majority racial or ethnic
group. It is a wonderful place of exuberance and friendship and patriotism.
Within the next 3 years, here in California no single race or ethnic group will
make up a majority of the State's population…. A half-century from now, when
your own grandchildren are in college, there will be no majority race in
America.” Clinton’s audience applauded
the notion that whites would become a minority by 2050. Whites, who had been the vast majority and
dominant population in the US since its origins, and who composed 90% of the
American population when Bill Clinton was born, were scheduled to become a
minority in approximately 50 years. What
was Clinton’s response? Appoint a
commission to conduct a dialog on race (but John Hope Franklin, appointed to lead
the group, demanded no dissent from his left-wing views on race), and Clinton
urged better education for those who would be replacing the whites. Clinton’s approach was more like that of Jews
in 1930s Germany, who as their factories were being confiscated, were to train
the Aryans who were entering to replace them.
How could
Americans applaud Clinton’s speech? Why
did he and others not see the demographic statistics he presented as a threat
to the Americans who had built America?
Why did Clinton not react as Modi would if it applied to India? Or Xi if it applied to China?
Suppose there is
a county near the Mexican border, we will call it Angoland; its population at
the last census was 10,000 all Anglos.
Suppose that since then there have been major border crossings, and for
the next census, it appears the total population of the county will be 20,000,
half of whom are basically illiterate in English (many just as illiterate in
Spanish). Suddenly, there are demands
for Spanish teachers in the schools. The
courts require translators for the many new cases of drugs, drunk driving,
driving without a license, stolen cars, etc.
Then the liberals fight back – why are there no Hispanic police? Protests demand 50% of the police and fire departments
be Hispanic. Appeals are made to the
EEOC, and an agreement is made so no new Anglos will be hired in the civil
service until the Hispanics have their “fair share” of 50% of the county’s
jobs. If most of the new Hispanics are
incapable of passing the exams that have been used for decades, the Feds will
demand that those exams be scrapped; only simple exams that almost anyone can
pass will be used. And then the racial
quotas will determine who is hired, and the new hire will be declared
“basically qualified,” (but never the best qualified). The same process will occur in schools and
the community college. Moreover,
hereafter new hires will have to be fluent in Spanish (not knowing that
language is clearly discrimination against half the county’s residents.) Indeed, new hires should be bi-lingual (that
is Spanish-English, no other languages will be considered). If most old residents do not know Spanish,
they will have to learn it if they want a civil service job, or even as a clerk
in Target or Burger King (because, to the newcomer, English monolingualism
means discrimination). This will provide
even more reasons to hire illegals. And
never question their immigration status, for that is racial profiling, which
the Feds deem discrimination, and they will fine any employer who engages is
such an evil practice.
The result: in a
short time Angoland County will be unrecognizable, from Angoland to Espanterra
in a few years. This happens not only in
an imaginary county – this is what is occurring all over America. Why?
Coulter begins
her book by noting that the political fight over immigration is one of the
elite against the American public (p. 1), and concludes that the public,
despite its clear opposition to massive immigration, has been unable to change
the open border policies.(270)
Of course,
Coulter is persuasive with her zingers – why is the crowd who assure us that
fences are ineffective live in gaited communities? She quotes various politicians with their
counter-zingers: show me a 10-foot fence and I’ll show you an 11-foot latter. She counters, if the fences are so
ineffective, why are the pro-immigration crowd so opposed to border
fences? Israel has one, and it
works. East Germany had one, and very
few illegal immigrants got into, or out of, the old GDR. Border fences can work. That is why the elite so fiercely oppose
them.
Of course the
academedia complex, almost all leftwing, cover-up and lie about the immigration disaster. “If you like your doctor, you can keep your
doctor. If you like your plan, you can
keep your plan.” Coulter adds to the
lefty lies, “If you like your country, you can keep your country.” She exposes the deception used by the
Democrats when they proposed the 1965 change in the immigration law – the
assurances that it would not alter the ethnic composition of the US. In a later period, Coulter also exposes the
many lies of the Republicans who run for election opposing massive immigration,
but once elected, lobby for and vote for various forms of amnesty. In several place in the book, Coulter reveals
some of the hypocrisy of Republican Sen. Marco Rubio on this issue.
One thing I
learned from Coulter’s new book is how sections of America are already occupied
territory of the Mexicans. Parts of our
national parks are closed to American citizens because they have become too
dangerous, areas where drugs are grown, and sometimes refined and
manufactured. Americans get out – this
park is Mexican cartel country! Other
areas are no longer the domain of American hikers, campers, and tourists; these
American parks are the pathways to welfare for Mexican invaders. If they fear exposure from tourists or park
officials, they will light matches intentionally trying to set wild fires. The Park Service then has to worry about the
costly fires and abandon any attempt to halt the invaders. And what does the conservationist Sierra Club
think of the invaders who seize American parks and burn our forests? They were opposed, of course, until a rich,
pro-immigration donor presented the Sierra Club with a huge gift – so long as
the SC avoided the immigration issue.
Bottom line – Sierra Club sold out.
And the New York Times, which once opposed the
open borders and massive illegal flow of immigrants changed its tune also. As the Times
neared bankruptcy, Mexican millionaire Carlos Slim bailed out the newspaper of
record. Then, suddenly, the Times became pro-immigration and opposed
to border fences. Bottom line.
The influx of
immigrants is made worse because of the dominant, left-wing,
politically-correct culture. In the past,
immigrants were expected to learn English and adapt to American ways. But now, under the absurd theory that all
cultures are equal (except Western civilization, which is identified with
racism, colonialism, sexism, and all forms of oppression), immigrants need not
assimilate to such a rotten culture.
Today’s immigrants need not adapt to American customs; Americans must
adapt to theirs. So now, to get a job in
the city, one may have to be bi-lingual (good at Spanish, barely tolerable at
English). If you see your Hmong neighbor
clubbing a puppy to death, don’t be alarmed.
He is trying to save a sick relative through animal sacrifice, just as
in the old country. (And did they use
human sacrifice in the old country? If
so, we should not be judgmental and adapt.
Diversity is out strength!) Gang
rapes? We must understand that such is
common in various cultures. Honor
killings? We must understand. Terrorism?
We must understand…
Coulter makes the
point – we must understand what kind of immigrants we are importing. If we do not stop it, America will become
another 3rd world hellhole.
One reviewer on
amazon complained that though Coulter’s book is excellent, it may be too late
to stop the 3rd world invasion.
Excellent as Adios, America!
is, it is not the first such book.
Recall anti-Vietnam war crusader, the liberal Democratic Minnesota
Senator who in 1968 challenged Pres. Lyndon Johnson in the New Hampshire
primary. Sen. Eugene McCarthy did so
well, that Pres. Johnson withdrew from the race. Sen. Robert Kennedy entered and fought
McCarthy in various primaries. Finally,
Kennedy won in California, only to be murdered that very night by a Palestinian
immigrant. In 1993 liberal Eugene
McCarthy published a book, A Colony of
the World: the USA Today, stressing how we had lost control of our borders
and were in many ways now a colony. That
same year, and expert on civil rights legislation, Hugh Davis Graham, a
liberal, published a tedious but fact-filled volume, The Strange Convergence of Affirmative Action and Immigration Policy in
America. And in 1995 legal English
immigrant Peter Brimelow published Alien
Nation: Common Sense about America’s Immigration Disaster. We have been warned for at least 2 decades
about the mounting crisis. What have we
done about it?
The cost in crime
and welfare and lost jobs to citizens because of an invasion by millions of
illegals is a disaster. Coulter asks,
what if all this money spent on invaders had been spent on Blacks? I ask, what if it had been spent on all of
America’s poor citizens?
In 1965 we were
duped by Ted Kennedy and the left into changing our immigration law, one that
had worked well for 40 years. We were
assured the new immigrants would be much like the old, and the numbers would
not increase significantly. Lies. When average American citizens experienced
the real changes, the loss of income, the new competition, the lower wages, the
changes in the schools (wearing a USA t-shirt gets you suspended from some
California schools for the shirt may offend Mexican invaders!), the rise in
crimes, etc., they sought to stop the flow and close the border. But will America’s elite, the academedia Left
and the corporate globalists (whose politics is only profit), continue to thwart the desire of the American
people? If the people do not force a
major change in immigration policy soon, then the American people will no
longer be the people of America.
