Peter Brimelow at VDARE.com writes: My quick thoughts on President Obama’s much-promoted May 10 immigration speech:

Obama nowhere mentioned the word “unemployment”.

But he is urging not merely the amnestying of millions of undocumented Democrats, allowing them full access to the American job market, but also increasing legal immigration—already at record levels.

Simply put, under Obama the Democratic Party has definitively abandoned the American working class. Based on his priorities in this speech, it has now unmistakably become an alliance of ethnic chauvinists and plutocrats like Michael (“Billionaire Golfers for Amnesty”) Bloomberg. 

...

The anti-white, anti-American animosity that Obama is inciting is all too obvious—even in the edited White House speech transcript.

Put aside the appalling phenomenon of a U.S. President again praising immigration law-breakers among his audience, as he did in his Miami-Dade commencement speech.

Look what happened when Obama claimed, albeit with stunning disingenuousness, that the Border Fence has been built:

THE PRESIDENT: the fence is --

AUDIENCE: Booo!

THE PRESIDENT: The fence is now basically complete.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Tear it down!

Obama did not reprove his audience. These are Reconquistas that the Democrats are enlisting.

Again, look what happened when the President claimed, with more stunning disingenuousness, that—

…We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement. All the stuff they asked for, we’ve done. But even though we’ve answered these concerns, I’ve got to say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: They’re racist!

In Obama’s America, of course, “racism” is essentially illegal—the charge is meant to end debate, and probably get the utterer charged with a “hate crime”.

But again the President did not reprove his audience—indicating his utter indifference to sincere concerns for the American worker. And for the American nation.

These are the prerequisites that we regard as fundamental to any renewed immigration debate:

Control the border. And we include visa overstayers.


Moratorium on legal immigration—or what one of our supporters insists we should call “Comprehensive Immigration Reduction”.


Attrition through enforcement—let’s find out exactly how many illegals will stay here if they can’t steal jobs and taxpayer-funded subsidies;


And by “subsidies” we include ending free education for illegals (overthrow Plyler vs. Doe) and ending Birthright citizenship.

You won’t hear these prerequisites discussed anywhere else.
