Sometimes I wonder about that. I wonder if we really are some sort of minority.
If we are not, we may as well be.
The wave of political correctness has caused so many to be silent we are effectively a 'minority'. People speak in hushed tones regarding concepts that this nation was based on as if it is something to be embarrassed about. It simply isn't politically correct to put the citizens of this country first. Forget about any established moral values, that's now taboo to even talk about.
The average decent hard working citizen has no voice while every special interest is bending a politicians ear.
We were just attacked on our on soil and we can't even get some immigration reform or try to really secure the borders. I listen to all this homeland security talk and the same politicians can't give drivers licenses, ID cards, tuition breaks, etc. to ILLEGAL aliens fast enough. The student visas are another winner, that's just what we need more Middle Eastern students???? Sorryt that's not PC but when Irish or Japanese guys start blowing up planes I'll rethink those srudent visas as well. In the year following 911 we allowed MORE immigrants from the Middle East than the year before 911. Now that's logic for you! No, we want to prove how fair we are and show that we have no bias so we knowingly continue policies that are detrimental to OUR cause. It's the same at the airport where they stop white haired Grandmas just to prove were not profiling.... can you say waste of time?
Why, because the Pols quake at the thought of losing the immigrant vote. They will trade safety for a few votes. The can count on almost ZERO backlash from the public because your labeled a racist if you don't think everyone should be able to waltz into YOUR country and be the beneficiaries of the various social programs, all paid for by LEGAL U.S. CITIZENS tax dollars.
In NY, Mayor Bloomberg recently said that he didn't think we were ready to take up the issue of giving non-citizens the right to vote. What issue??? How dare he even consider the concept. The same Mayor has also curtailed the reporting and enforcement of any immigration laws in a city that just had 3000 people murdered by the same people who we now say we are trying to keep out of the country.
So nothing has really changed, when I was a cop in NYC pre-911 we would arrest people for other crimes who happened to be here illegally and when we reporting it to INS the would take your name and that was it. These people where here illegally, committing crimes, already in custody but never once did the come and get any of these people. You would think that would be a"ground ball", nope they had no interest.
I would have thought after 911 any interaction with the police, even a speeding ticket would result in an immigration status check and immediate action for those here illegallly, but that makes TOO much sense.
The world is nuts or maybe it's just me? I really wish it was just me, that would easier to accept and I would be more hopeful about the country my children will inherit.
