Hey, I call them like I read them:
SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) — On Thursday, senators announced a rather remarkable bipartisan compromise on immigration reform that combines border enforcement, a guest worker program, a path to legalization for illegal immigrants, tougher employer sanctions, and an education/skills-based point system for future immigrants.
The same day, the Census Bureau reported what many Americans already know: The United States is becoming a Hispanic nation. Hispanics are the nation’s largest minority with 44.3 million people and they account for almost half the growth in the U.S. population. Meanwhile, since 2000, the white school-age population dropped 4 percent, and the white population shrank in sixteen states. (snip)
As someone who has written about immigration for more than 15 years, and heard from hundreds of thousands of readers along the way, I can tell you that most of the anxiety over illegal immigration is cultural. People worry about changing demographics, the encroachment of Spanish, the fear that the country is becoming Hispanic-ized, etc. One sociologist called it "cultural displacement" — the fear that your children will grow up in a world different than the one you grew up in, with fewer advantages, where they will have to work harder for what they accomplish.
Reading that, can anyone say that Mr. Navarrette is not saying that you, the People, who are against changing everything that the United States stands for, who are for enforcing the law, who are for people integrating into our culture, are bigots? What is wrong with immigrants learning English and the ways and customs of America, as so many other groups, such as the Italians, the Scots, the Irish, the orientals, did?
Last week, (Rep Brian) Bilbray (R-Ca) popped up on one newscast after another and milked his 15 minutes. He opposes the Senate plan, which he calls — wait for it — amnesty. But, like most of the critics, he offers no alternate piece of legislation to solve the problem over which he claims to be worried sick.
Apparently, the plan to secure the borders, find and deport those who are here illegally, and follow the law is not good enough fro Mr. Navarrette.
This just goes to show that those in the Big Media, who tend to be liberal, of course, are out of touch with the American People. Even a good chunk of liberals are against the amnesty bill.
