Students, teachers, politicians, globalists:
Ask what a true nation of immigrants would be. Absent a founding group, it would be no
nation at all, but a random gathering of people of assorted races, religions,
nationality united only by their presence in the same land. The United States
is a nation with a distinct founding culture, one that remained dominant while
assimilating—and subtly changed by later arrivals.
Revolutionary Americans were fairly homogeneous: 60%
English, 20% Scottish and Scots-Irish, the rest Dutch and German. Overwhelmingly Christian, 98% Protestants.
Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society,
and move to another society. There has
to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move. In our case, the society was created by
settlers who came here in the 17th and 18th centuries.
They weren’t immigrating to some existing society. It was the settlers’ Anglo-Protestant society
and culture that attracted subsequent immigrants to this country. We then,
therefore; are a nation WITH immigrants.
America’s integrity and sovereignty is strained by
multi-culturalism, affirmative action, and mass immigration.
The pet phrase of
American politicians is “strength in our diversity”, false. The much repeated dictum, “NATION OF
IMMIGRANTS” screed is now unquestioned by Americans and foreigners alike.
Mass immigration, both legal and illegal, has transformed
our Republic into a 3rd World dumping ground, diluting our
strengths.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to honor the
centennial of American independence. E
pluribus Unum commemorates the union of 13 British colonies into one nation.
The statue and the Motto do not celebrate immigration; they salute the
achievement of the settlers who founded those colonies. Emma Lazras’ quotation
“Give me your tired……..” expresses a broken heart against Russian pogroms—a
later ad-on.
