I’d like to see the anti-immigrant apologists explain this stuff August 15, 2007

In case you ever believed that anti-immigrant policy was about anything but racism, I submit two exhibits to demonstrate that you were wrong:
Exhibit 1) Newt Gingrich thinks immigrants are more dangerous than terrorists:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he is “sickened” that President Bush and Congress went on vacation “while young Americans in our cities are massacred” by illegal immigrants. […]
Gingrich said that the “war here at home” against illegal immigrants is “even more deadly than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
I know Gingrich is desperate to appeal to the far right, but isn’t he undermining their rationale for the war on terra? He is, unless it’s really about Imperialism. And we have our answer.
Exhibit 2) The Family Research Council, along with half of Faux News, says we need to outbreed the brown people:
Thanks to the BBC’s new emphasis on this crisis, Europe may finally wake up to the reality that its culture is on the verge of extinction. With global birth rates plummeting, the concern over saving the earth may soon be replaced by concern over whom we’re saving it for. As the traditional family declines, fewer children are being born to replace and support the world’s graying society.
Oh no! The human race is going to die out–oh, wait, no, global population is increasing. It’s just white folk that they’re worried about. My God! If we don’t do something soon, there will be even more brown people.
Damn those brown people with their good food and different cultures!
*shakes fist at the sky
I know, right? Don’t they understand the appeal of mushy, tasteless bread and piss-like beer?
“war on terra” eh? that seems to be vastly appropriate in every way I can make it turn in my head.
Of course it is racist. White men don’t want their daughters to marry brown men and have brown babies. It is the old catch-all of racism:
“They gonna take our women-folk and create a race of half-breeds.”
“War on Terra” is a good one :)
Peace and Many Blessings!
D’oh, comment got eaten by the tubez…
Anywho, yeah, American beer — just like making love in a canoe…
And indeed, “war on terra” caught my eye, too. Very appropriate.
