Immigration reductionists are racists.
Yes, there are those who hold their views on immigration for racial
reasons on both sides of the issue. (For every
David Duke, there is a Congressman Gutierrez.)
This does not mean, however, that immigration is a racial issue.
And while the immigration issue does attract racists, it is our
experience at ProjectUSA that most of these racists are to be found
amongst our pro-mass immigration opponents in particular,
among the ethnic-identity pressure groups and politicians.
To those well-meaning but confused people who insist that immigration is a racial issue, we always ask: "Well, then, since you are absolutely certain one's position on immigration is all about race, what are your racial reasons for supporting this current flood?"
This question often causes confusion.
We believe that the confusion arises from our nation's unfortunate muddle-headedness on issues of race and culture. The current dogma of the "multicultural" ideology has convinced many Americans that "culture" and "race" are the same things. Just think of the endless paeans to multiculturalism in advertising, political speech, academia, etc.: they are always illustrated by a photo of people of different races.
This is dangerous and wrong.
While a black American and a white American might be different colors, they are equally American, i.e., they share the same culture.
Modern "multiculturalists" are the true racists when they elevate skin color to a place as primary as culture
If we have racial problems today how will our problems improve with
a half a billion people thanks to over-immigration struggling to
survive in an overpopulated country?
Shouldn't we first resolve the racial problems we have instead of
continuing with an immigration policy that will double our population
and risk exacerbating an already increasing tendency in our country
toward group identity politics?
Those who fear racial conflict or the rise of fascism should support, as we do, an immigration time-out in order to take a breather, reassess what we are doing, and give the assimilation magic time to work.
Reason #4
Immigrants do the jobs Americans won't.
