Phyllis Schlafly bemoans that today's immigrants not white enough to her liking
Phyllis Schlafly has always been a racist, right-wing jackass, but at least she's honest about it. In a radio address for the Eagle Forum earlier this month, Schlafly let loose her hate for the browns. She wasn't the least bit shy about it either.
One of the biggest political issues in America today is Obama’s plan to give illegal amnesty to 5 million South Americans. Obama is already admitting tens of thousands of aliens from South America and trying to justify it by repeating the line that "we are a nation of immigrants." The problem is that the immigrants coming into our country today are not the same sort as the immigrants who contributed so much to building our great country. The immigrants who came to America in the 1920s and ‘30s were different – with very different motives.
Today, May 11, is the birthday of one of our most famous immigrants. Born the son of a rabbi, he emigrated with his family from Russia to New York. Falling in love with America, he served as a sergeant during World War I. After taking up a career in music, he wrote some of our all-time popular songs, such as "White Christmas" and "God Bless America." He gave the royalties from those two songs to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. His name was Irving Berlin. In 1945, President Harry Truman awarded him the Army’s Medal of Merit. In 1955 he received the Congressional Gold Medal from President Eisenhower, and in 1977 he received the Freedom Medal from President Ford. Irving Berlin’s devotion to America was so eloquently expressed in the song that all Americans so frequently sing today: “God Bless America, ...
It’s quite true that America was built by hard working people from all over the world who sought a place of freedom where they could succeed if they had a dream, worked hard, and no tyrannical king or dictator could keep them down. But the illegal immigrants today are not the same as those who built this country. They don’t want to leave their homes and become Americans, accepting all that comes along with it. Many of them just want to reap the rewards of our free nation without accepting American culture, the English lang
Indeed, Phyllis, the large majority of America's new immigrants, legal or otherwise, are not the same as the lily white immigrants of your fevered dreams. They tend to be browner around the edges which automatically disqualifies them in your mind as lazy grifters who have come because they hate America and everything it stands for. Never mind the fact that when I drive through rural California and pass the fields where the food that will grace your very table is grown, it is brown people bent over doing the backbreaking labor that you dismiss as un-American.
Never mind the Polish family I grew up next door to whose children had to translate for their parents and grandparents who couldn't speak a lick of English even though they had been in this country for decades. They are to be excused because they were the right color.
Never mind that Irving Berlin had the good fortune of coming to this country when he was five years old when learning English was a much easier proposition than for his father who spoke only Yiddish. Never mind that an 11-year-old American boy who dared sing our most patriotic of all songs at a basketball game, our national anthem, received untold hatred for his audacity because he happened to be of Mexican descent. Thank the white Lord that decent people exactly like you were there to heap their European-descended scorn on this uppity brown child.

she can come here to the San Gabriel Valley and see how 2 million Asians-and counting- have basically taken over while she and her ilk have been paying so much attention to the poor brown folks.
Of course, they come with plenty money and still work long hours to enjoy the American dream in conjunction with their strong cultural values. But they also come in shipping containers and cross the border almost unnoticed with fake documents provided by their very sophisticated computer skills. They operate baby hotels that are to be responsible for tens of thousands of new American "citizens"
