Thread: The next generation will speak Spanish

The next generation will speak Spanish
Terry Coleman Tuesday 14 July 2009

The most important domestic issue in the United States today is that of Hispanic immigration. It will shape the future of the world's most powerful nation, a nation which just might become in 20 years time the largest Latin American country on earth. It is not quite science fiction to suggest that not long after the year 2000, the US might be facing its second great crisis, the first having been the Civil War between the North and South, and the second a struggle between the English speaking and the Spanish speaking citizens of the Republic.

It is widely agreed that "something must be done". Now a Bill is before Congress which is attempting to "do something". And yet what has happened? The Wall Street Journal, a conservative newspaper, has printed a leading article proposing that if Washington wants to "do something" it should enact the five word constitutional amendment saying "There shall be open borders."

The place to see it all most clearly is at San Ysidro, on the Mexican border. After dark they come over. The border patrol chases them with helicopters, search lights and horses. Those caught are invited to go back, which they do, and try again another day. It is a game because, as the horsemen say, what's out there beyond, to the east? What's out there is 2,000 miles of unguarded frontier. What are you going to do, they say, put up an electric fence? Build a Berlin Wall across a continent?

What is different about this new wave of immigrants? The difference is that by and large they are not adopting English as their native tongue, or, many of them, even learning much English at all. The old immigrants, to get jobs and also as a matter of pride, learned English. That was the melting pot. But the new Hispanics are determinedly sticking to Spanish.

Whether or not the Bill becomes law, the issues will remain. And so will the patriotic sentiments expressed by the Wall Street Journal. And what are the reasons of this Conservative journal for making this radical proposal? They are that people have always been America's greatest resource, and that her open door policy made her historically the envy of the world. That, implicitly, a free economy, with growth and opportunity, are the American virtues. That the issues of immigration and growth touch the fundamental character of a nation.

The old immigration will not return, the new immigration is of a different nature. There would be no point in an Ellis Island on the US Mexican border, because the new teeming masses would just walk round it.

Spanish speakers need to get with the WORLD and learn English.

Is this article from July 14, 1984? So says the link. Well it has come partly true.

They would just walk around the wall because they have no respect for our country...are these the kind of Americans we want....I think not!

This is the elephant in the room that no one would talk about for the last 30 years. Well now we're talking about it, and we're taking the following actions:

Boycott all businesses that hire illegal aliens
Refuse all products and services that provide instruction in Spanish
Call, fax, and write our representatives demanding English only for government documentation

The list goes on and on, please add to it as you see fit.

Don't anyone dare tell me I'm doomed to lose my nation to an invading pack of freeloaders, particularly not the British who are being taken over themselves.

Calls needed to Senate in opposition to Sotomayor nomination!!! Please join in!

You're right, Captainron. This article was written in 1984, and reprinted now, it is from the link's archives. This was written before the first amnesty!

It was all SO predictable, SO easily predictable. This is a United Kingdom newspaper. Anyone could see it, from anywhere. You didn't have to be here to see what was happening to our country. And our pathetic "leaders" would not stop it. In fact, they did everything to facilitate it.

Our future: The US, once an empire, once the world's most successful, free, powerful and richest country on earth, is now a shell of its former self. It is now one of the world's poorest and most over-populated countries. It is one of the world's largest Spanish-speaking Latino countries, populated primarily from an invasion by third world countries. An invasion of tens of millions of poor, uneducated, low-skilled workers, indoctrinated by their ethnocentric advocates in the US to feel entitled not only to invade the country, but to actually demand special treatment once there. This invasion of tens of millions occurred over a relatively short period of about 3-4 decades.

For various reasons, US leaders in politics and business fostered and reinforced these attitudes. Many of their policies and programs put the needs and wants of the invaders above US citizens. These leaders were blinded by their own desires for power and profit. They were blinded to how their own actions would eventually destroy the country that had provided them with opportunity and success in the first place.

There was such an invasion, accompanied by such high birth rates of anchor babies, that it didn't take long for the invaders to outnumber those who had made the country such a beacon in the first place.

The empire that was, is now unrecognizable. -- (Not too many years off now, unless we can stop and reverse the invasion.)
