Obama's "Final Solution"

Jerry Woodruff has written an incredible piece of research in The Middle American News exposing the truth behind Obama's immigration amnesty agenda. Ask yourself to answer "What would possibly motivate our elites to insist on pursuing this incredibly unpopular and illegal agenda?" the following information will help bring the truth to light:

Democrat Party strategists, politicians, labor leaders, and a host of left-wing “social justice” organizations all across the country are engaged in a strategy to drastically transform America’s population through mass immigration in order to guarantee their own and their allies’ dominance in U.S. government, society, and culture.  The plot itself is simple: reshape the American electorate through mass immigration to reduce the political clout of the native white middle class. 

If it succeeds, America’s racial composition and cultural and political character will be changed forever.

The Curley Effect

Altering a population’s make-up in order to suit a ruling elite is nothing new in history.  Harvard researchers Edward L. Glaeser and Andrei Shleifer have recounted how demographic manipulation has been a tool of ruling groups in the U.S. and elsewhere throughout the 20th century.  In their paper, “The Curley Effect,” published by the Harvard Institute of Economic Research, they show how the Irish-American Mayor James Michael Curley of Boston in four terms between 1913 and 1950 used “a combination of aggressive [economic] redistribution and incendiary rhetoric ... to transform Boston” from an integrated city of poor Catholic Irish-Americans and relatively wealthier Protestants of English descent into a virtually all-Irish city.  Curley’s goal, they wrote, was “to turn Boston into a city that would elect him.”  He did that by fiery rhetoric and official government policies aimed at reducing the wealth of his English-descended opponents and favoring his poorer Irish constituents.  The effect was to drive away his ethnic opponents and thereby increase the relative size of his political base.

The Curley Effect is what Glaeser and Shleifer call the deliberate shaping of the demographics of an office-holder’s electorate through destructive policies aimed at opposition voters, even if the long-term effect has economically negative consequences for the entire political jurisdiction.  The Curley Effect occurs when the incumbent “wants to maximize the probability of his re-election,” but doesn’t regard “the overall economic performance of the city or nation as the crucial determinant of that probability.”  

That’s what Glaeser and Shleifer say happened in Detroit under Mayor Coleman Young and in Zimbabwe under President Robert Mugabe. “In his 24 years as mayor, Detroit’s Coleman Young drove white residents and businesses out of the city,” they noted.  Young remained popular with black voters who consistently reelected him, even at the cost of ruining the city’s mainly white economic base.  And it happened in Zimbabwe where “President Robert Mugabe abused the white farmers after his country’s independence, openly encouraging their emigration even at a huge cost to the economy.” Those policies, they say, “are motivated by a desire to alter the political landscape, including by shaping the electorate.  Socially costly policies are attractive to the political leaders because they eliminate or weaken the political opposition.”

    How about MOST folks ? Dan Klein has a lot of good quotes out there, a great writer, and he keeps it simple. I'm kind of a simpleton myself. Even I can understand what he says.
