Lamm's words draw fire

Illegal immigration fuels terrorism and brings economic burdens on Americans, former Gov. Dick Lamm said at a breakfast this morning at the University Club.
"It used to take an army and navy to hurt America," Lamm said about the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001. "Not anymore."

Lamm was continuing the theme he espoused Monday when he said in a speech in Vail that Hispanics remain an "underclass" in America because their culture is "not success-producing."

He also pushed his new book, Two Wands, One Nation, where he wrote that Hispanics and blacks need to take responsibility for their "under performance" and should adopt the values of the Japanese and Jews.

His talk this morning was aimed at illegal immigrants in general.

Lamm said 12 of the 48 people prosecuted for the 9/11 attack were illegal immigrants who had created bank accounts in America to fund their attack.

"It’s not people coming to do our yard work only," he said.

Lamm said illegal immigration cuts wages and hurts Colorado.

He recently visited a Denver home where three illegal immigrant families had 11 children in public schools.

Lamm said it takes about $11,000 for each child to go through school and it costs just as much for health care.

"The taxpayers are being abused," he said.

Lamm said we can’t have America as the health care provider for the world.

It’s the magnet of American jobs that are attracting illegal immigrants, he said.

"You have to do something with that magnet," he said.

Lamm supports the guest worker program and advocates employers to check social security cards better.

As for the jobs illegal immigrants have in America, Lamm said America needs to "find ways to start upward mobility of America’s lower economic people.

"America has to rediscover its work ethic."

Lamm is behind enforcing borders to control illegal immigration.

"It’s so unfair to our people," he said.

Lamm gave another speech in Washington DC a couple of months ago:

The title of the speech was: HOW TO DESTROY AMERICA

Here's what he said:

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'"

Here is how they do it," Lamm said:

"First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country." History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: "The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy." Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans."

Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage
immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Third, "We could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: "The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together." Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would
add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high. school."

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to
give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population."

"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell.

"E. Pluribus Unum" -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis
on the 'pluribus'. Instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."

"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits; make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.”

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every
attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California and other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength.”

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.

Lamm said 12 of the 48 people prosecuted for the 9/11 attack were illegal immigrants who had created bank accounts in America to fund their attack.

That brings a question to mind. Exactly when are we going to start prosecuting banks, finance companies, car dealerships, etc. that deal with illegal immigrants? We keep screaming for ICE to punish employers, which is good, but I'd also like to see those that aid the illegals in other ways prosecuted too. We need to put an end to everything that encourages illegals, not just their illegal employment.

GREAT MW this is the word we must spread.

If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path,...

I've heard his speech before. It is indeed sobering. I don't think we have three years to stop it if you look at the demographics to date. Three more years and Texas, New Mexico, Arizona will join California.

CW, I too have seen that speech. This is a great reminder. I also agree with xanadu. This crisis is imminent, IMHO.

MW - the banks, finance companies, and car dealerships will get what they are due if we win this battle. If illegals are cut off from work and social services and self deport or are deported they will have mortages not getting paid, forclosures, defaulted loans, etc. Let them try to get their money out of people that have left the country. It will be beautiful.

Just to ilustrate, I kow an Argentinian couple, illegals of course, they are here for 4 years. The husband had a problem ib his stmach and had to go into cirgery, the amount of the bill was $60.000.00.
Of course they could and would not pay.
But they got a surprise, the Hospital found out the adress of his mother in Argentina and sent her a letter asking her to pay.
I don't know all the details , I only know they are paying $100.00 a month and complaining why do they have to pay and how dare the hospital went to ask his mother to pay for the bill.
