Eleanor Clift on Immigration: 'A Lot More Americans Are Going to Learn Spanish and That's a Fine Thing'

"A lot more Americans are going to learn to speak Spanish, and I think that's a fine thing."

So said Newsweek's Eleanor Clift Friday in the middle of a "McLaughlin Group" program devoted in its entirety to looking at how America is responding to a growing Hispanic population as well as an ongoing economic expansion in Latin America (video follows with transcript and commentary):

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: Will the growing Hispanic population assimilate as readily into the American melting pot as earlier immigrant waves like the Irish and the Italians did? Yes or no?

PAT BUCHANAN: Took the Irish almost a hundred years to do it, John. I think that it's going to be more slowly because the culture…

MCLAUGHLIN: You do?

BUCHANAN: …much more different. Yes I do.

MCLAUGHLIN: Even though the United States today is multiracial?

BUCHANAN: The United States, people are moving into enclaves, John, by race and ethnicity, all over this country.

MCLAUGHLIN: “Irish need not applyâ€

====================================

Cultures are composed of people sharing common viewpoints on language, morality, science, and the arts.

The intrusion, or insertion, of a large body of illegal immigrants speaking another language and having a different set of viewpoints towards the world is a disruption to the existing culture.

Race is only a minor factor as the real determinants are those shared values, language, and viewpoints.

Language is a means of communication of one to another. When that is not a shared commonality adjustment becomes much more difficult.

Religion and moral viewpoints are also important. The morality of Islam is much different than the morality of Christendom. In some ways it is stricter on sexual matters but it is also more degrading of women.

The Hispanic intrusion is that of poorly educated individuals who share some common moral viewpoints but they are at best semi-literate even in their own language.

So, what we have now is not a melting pot but a melange of discordant elements.

That is exactly as is intended by our would be masters because the existing culture of America is one of intolerance to tyranny. That has been eroded by the degradation of the education system, indoctrination into false history, and the flood of illegal immigrants speaking another tongue and thus unable to communicate with the vast majority of the people already residing here.

We may well have to learn Spanish - in self defense.

In the bible there is the story of the tower of babel. The people all got together and built a tower to reach heaven. This upset God, so he said "I will mix there tongues so they cannot understand each other and will never be able to co-operate together again." So he mixed there tongues and confusion reigned. This is what is happenning to the us. How can I learn about latino culture if I cannot understand them,or them me. It is not my respondsibility to learn Spanish, they came here. There willnever be assimilation as long as a group of people living here who have no intention of assimalating,or loyalty to the us are given speciial treatment by big business and our elected liberal government officials .
