The word “genocide” is tossed around by Democrats very casually these days, where everything from their terrorist friends losing a war they started to white people eat Chinese food. Of course, nothing these grievance studies major-leftists call genocide is actually genocide – “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” – but drama queens are gonna drama queen.
However, since these “progressives” love to use the word, let’s use it to describe something that is closer to cultural genocide than anything they whine about: the lack of assimilation they insist is “celebrating diversity!”
Without a common culture, and more importantly a common language, no society can last long. Assimilation is the only way to achieve the cohesion any society needs to not only thrive, but survive. If you have nothing in common with large swaths of a population – things like food, movies, sports and all other normal “likes” people have – and you cannot even communicate with them, they will never be your countrymen and you will never be theirs. How could you be?
Division is cancer to a society. It also happens to be the medium in which Democrats thrive the most, as they pit one group against another and masquerade as the “protectors” of one of the groups in a conflict they created. They divide to conquer.
So, when Dearborn Heights puts a patch for police officers written in Arabic, what is that meant to advance? Not understanding, not community, not American values, no. It is meant to keep people who already have very little in common from being able to communicate and separate them further to prevent them from trying.
I lived in Dearborn, Michigan, which is next to Dearborn Heights, and was the Arabic-dominant city in the country when I was there in college in the late 90s through 2001. West Dearborn was not Arabic, the eastern half of the city was. Almost 25 years later, the whole city is covered in signs for stores in Arabic and English isn’t always a language spoken.
It’s not just Dearborn, much of Dearborn Heights is like visiting a foreign country, and not a good one. Hamtramck went from a Polish enclave in Detroit to another mini-Lebanon, with the city council now dominated by third world politics. Import the third world, become the third world.
This is happening from coast to coast, growing areas of “immigrant communities” where the people are not becoming Americans, they are recreating the countries and cultures they fled at the encouragement and insistence of Democrats.
Is that something worth celebrating? It is if you hate women and gay people, two groups of people Democrats claim domain over the protection of who are not in favor with much of the third world. You never wanted to be a young girl or a gay man on the street of any city in the Middle East or large swaths of Africa or Asia, aside from Israel, and now you don’t want to be one in any Dearborn, parts of Maine, chunks of Minneapolis and many other places.
Many places in the United States of America not only do not feel like part of the United States, they feel like you need a passport and an interpreter to visit. So Americans don’t.
That’s the point. Democrats need people divided and unable to communicate. Makes them easier to manipulate.
Kilmar “the Maryland Man” Abrego Garcia has lived in the country illegally for more than a decade and can’t speak English well enough to not require an interpreter when he issues a statement. “He came here for a better life” is always what these leftists say, but how good of a life can anyone have when they can’t speak to anyone?
Democrats don’t care that their gardeners will never be able to talk to anyone who isn’t from the pit they escaped from, they only care that they don’t have to pay a lot to get their grass cut. I don’t care that they get their grass cut, I don’t want illegal aliens in the country. And increasingly, as Democrats recreate in this country the hell-holes legal immigrants fled, I believe we have to put a stop to all immigration for anyone who can’t already speak English.
Immigrants can’t help but be a drain on the country if they are not only illiterate in their native language, but unable to communicate in ours. Our public schools are churning out a big enough supply of illiterate in English “graduates” already, we don’t need to import more. And if we make welfare more limited toward people who can’t work, not those who won’t, the luxury of “jobs Americans won’t do” will go away.
Meanwhile, the legal immigrants already here will be given time to assimilate. Learn the language, accept the cultural norms, or get out.
The great immigration push in the late 19th and early 20th centuries are portrayed as a free- for-all where everyone was welcome because they were white Europeans. Like everything else about Democrats, this is a lie. Ellis Island was not a welcome station, it was a screening station. If you were sick, you were turned away. Missing teeth? Bye. Didn’t have the means to take care of yourself or someone willing to take responsibility for you if you can’t? Back on the boat.
If you did not meet the criteria to be a benefit to the United States you were not allowed into the United States, as it should be. It didn’t matter you “wanted a better life,” the question was what do we get out of letting you in? If it was nothing, or even not enough, you weren’t getting in.
And once you got here, you’d better set your ass on the path to becoming “American.” That meant learning the language and the culture. Chinatown, Little Italy and all the other ethnic enclaves existed not as a landing strip for new immigrants, but as a launching pad. New arrivals lived there because they could communicate and work there, but the goal was to be there only as long as they had to. They worked their asses off the learn the language and how to be an American, then they got the hell out to the rest of the country. They kept parts of their old culture – the food, some of the traditions – but they were not slaves or prisoners to it like Democrats want immigrants to be today.
“Assimilation is cultural genocide” they say. What it really is has always been the pathway to success and independence in America, the very things that cause people to run away from the Democratic Party. So, what’s a little damage to the country and creating a permanent underclass of cheap labor and disposable people if it helps Democrats politically? Paying slaves a small wage doesn’t make them not slaves, it just makes you a progressive Democrat.
What Democrats are doing may benefit them in the short-term, but it hurts the country. They don’t care, they want to hurt the country because that, too, benefits them and is the crux of most of their agenda items. But for real Americans, and for the sake of the country, they need to be stopped. You shouldn’t feel like you need a passport or a security detail and an interpreter to visit anywhere in the United States. It’s not out of control yet, but it’s not that far off.
The choice is clear: Destroy Democrats before they Destroy America.
