"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!“

- Emma Lazarus, 1883

"fuck your American flag . Racist as fucks . I’ll always have pride with my Mexican flag but not the American one”

- Ivan Mora, An average American on Twitter, 2014

Why does America need more Hispanics? America is being flooded with a surge of illegal immigrants who have no respect for American customs and traditions, and instead only come here to mooch of the system. Supporters of unfettered immigrations claim we are a nation of immigrants so what harm would more Hispanics cause. Well the problem is that they are not assimilating. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone outside of a Klan rally who would be opposed to assimilated immigrants. The immigrants of the past assimilated. Yet mass Hispanic immigration has been flowing into the US for over 30 years now with no signs of it stopping any time soon. In the past immigrants came to the US legally to earn a better life. Now illegal immigrants come to the US to be handed a better life. Meanwhile American unemployment is at an all time high, we still are in a recession, the number of homeless grow each day, veterans die in hospitals due to neglect, and Detroit is worse off than Iraq and Afghanistan. A new report recently found out that all employment growth since 2000 has gone entirely to immigrants, both illegal and legal. While job growth declined for native-born Americans. It shouldn’t really be surprising though. Every American knew this. I mean good luck getting a job in construction if you aren’t fluent in Spanish. South Park satirized this trend with the timeless quote “They terk er jerbs.” And while it quickly became the go-to counter argument against those in favor of border control, it’s now become a fact of life. Immigration must be tightly controlled, to insure that the host country does not become over extended and end up neglecting its own citizens. The best example of seeing the differences in this attitude is to look at the Muslims. 9/11 made sure that any Muslims that wanted to come to America would be subject to heavy background checks and bureaucratic blockades, and even then once in this country they would have to work hard to prove that they weren’t terrorists. Some will argue that this is racist, but in a society where everything is racists it’s a pointless claim. The fact of the matter is, America has some pretty great Muslims. The desire to fit in turned them into Americans that just so happened to be Muslims. Even in the wake of 9/11 Muslim crime is rare in the US; it’s incredibly lower than Hispanic crime. In comparison lets look at Europe’s Muslims. As a result of the terrible conditions in North Africa, many European countries offered asylum to millions of African immigrants. The results haven’t been good. The UK recently began adopting Sharia law into its inheritance law, while recently a British soldier was beheaded in broad daylight by a machete wielding Muslim. And of course there’s David Cameron’s yearly address thanking the Muslim community on Ramadan. In Vienna, Austria, Muslim students now outnumber Catholic students. Italy recently scared the entire world, as a group of illegal immigrants was thought to have spread Ebola into Italy. And of course who could forget the Danish cartoonist who was killed for drawing an offensive picture of Muhammad. And then there’s Sweden. As a multicultural society free of hate, it’s no no surprise it is the rape capital of Europe. Muslim riots are a frequent occurrence, and a popular song entitled “Blanda Upp” features a white girl having sex with a black man while singing the Swedish National anthem. And that’s just the beginning, I could have written this entirely with examples from Sweden if I wanted to. An unintended result of all of this immigration is the recent rise of far-right political parties and European Nationalism, and we all remember what went on last time that happened. Culture is the lifeblood of a country, and like the human body, you cannot survive with two types of blood in the same body. One culture must conform to the other. When immigration is controlled the immigrants will conform to that of the host country. When immigration is unfettered one of two things will happen, the host country will convert to the culture of the immigrants, or the country will divide and collapse, or worse.

“But, but, but, but, the poem! The Statue of Liberty! We are a nation of immigrants! A human being cannot be illegal! Won’t somebody please think of the children! This is our moral duty! Viva La Raza!”

It should be noted that the Author of the Poem on the Statue of Liberty was one of the first Zionists and modern day Israel has one of the most restrictive immigration systems in the world. While recently the Honduran government said that the US should not deport the people back to Honduras. Basically saying that they’re our problem now. But why should we take care of them just because they made it to our border. They also made it to Guatemala’s and Mexico’s borders as well. Why can’t we just send them one more country further? Canada loves immigration. They pride themselves on tolerance. If America takes in someone just because they live in terrible conditions, then we will have to take in everyone living in terrible conditions. Three Billion people live on less than $2.50 a day. Each year illegal immigrants cost American taxpayers roughly $100 billion. With about 12 million illegal’s in the US that works about to roughly $8000 per person. Which means to support the world’s poor it would cost about $25 trillion, and that’s not even addressing the problems of how to feed them, house them, and teach them the language. Also our debt is only a mere 17 trillion. We can’t afford that. Of course some might say this is insane. But why? There’s no difference between a poor person in Honduras and one in Syria. If we say yes to illegal Hispanics but no to Illegal Africans, well then that’s racist. How dare we grant privileges to Mexicans but not to Filipinos! The Philippines even used to be not only an American colony but also a Spanish one! Double the oppression!! Quite simply, not offering asylum to all the world’s poor is racist! Or another idea is to just fix our border and control immigration. It’s not perfect but it’ll keep the country alive. Paul said it best nearly 2000 years ago in 2 Corinthians 8:12-14 “ 12For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 13Our desire is not that others might be relived while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14At the present time your plenty will supply what they need so, that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality.” Like many others, I too have the desire to help the poor immigrants. But we are running out of the means to do so, and as it stands so long as they do not assimilate they will not share their supply with ours. The equality Paul is talking about is not an equality of suffering. The only way for long term stability and prosperity is for us to close the border for sometime so as to build up the supply we ran out of long ago.If we continue down this path both sides will eventually be equal only in an equality of neglect.
