The key factor behind the ANTI Immigration Reformers agenda is this: The Census Bureau calculates that by 2042, Americans who identify themselves as Hispanic, Black, Asian, American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander will together outnumber non-Hispanic whites. In other words, America is rapidly evolving into a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural society. The ANTI Core Agenda is to STOP this prediction from coming true and maintain a White, Northern European ethnicity majority as long as possible.
The ANTIs are fully aware their ability to stop this change would be like stopping a runaway train. Four years ago, officials had projected the shift would come in 2050. The main reason for the accelerating change is significantly higher birthrates among immigrants.
This is not a new prediction. John Tanton, self-proclaimed godfather of the ANTIs, made this proclamation in the 1970s, detailing this "threat" in the most racist of terms. He rallied his followers to put in place strategies to stop this prediction. He could not convince the government to help him so he formed several ANTI Immigration groups including FAIR, NumbersUSA, ProAmerica PAC, ProEnglish Group, You Dont Speak for Me and more. He and his teams developed politically correct talking points, created slanted reports and spoke before Congress to push their agenda. After 9/11, they capitalized on the wave of fear and paranoia encompassing the nation. They stepped up their rhetoric, bringing in local/national groups including the minutemen, AMShockJocks, politicians seeking election and various cable news networks. Their cause gained momentum after the 2006 Immigration marches. Perhaps their most significant accomplishment was gaining a group of well trained internet followers who badgered Congress with mass form letters, faxes, emails and phone calls. This small group of followers were masters at monopolizing the communication links into Congress and being at the beck and call of their leaders who drove their PC agenda.
The PRO Immigration Reformers were slow to enter the blogosphere. Even though millions marched, very few blogged. The ANTIs convinced the majority of Americans that the marchers were all "illegal aliens." It was not until 2007 that a significant number of PRO supporters entered the blogosphere. We are still trying to catch-up, but the massive increase of Pro Bloggers in 2008/2009 has been amazing. It has only been since 2008 that Pro Bloggers began joining forces to communicate our same message to all of our millions of supporters.
Now that we do have a significant presence on the internet, what is important for all PRO Immigration Reformers to remember is, we cannot be fooled by the ANTIs politically correct (PC) talking points. As I previously reported, the Heritage Foundation recently published their updated recommendations. While very PC, the devil is in the details. Their recommendations speak to the ANTI Core Agenda.
If the ANTI Immigration Reformers had their WISH, here is what they want:
1. Mass Deportation of the 12M people they term illegal aliens. Their plan is to make their lives so miserable, they will leave on their own or they will get caught up in ICE Raids/Detention Centers or Neighborhood Sweeps (ala Arpaio). They want these raids stepped up so they leave within the next 4 years. The problem is, the 287(g) sweeps lead to Racial Profiling (ala Arpaio) and all of this hate mongering has led to the increase in Hate Crimes against Latinos, as reported by the FBI. The ANTIs, however, could care less how all of this Racial Profiling or Hate Crimes impact the American Latinos and we already know they treat the workers like vermin.
2. Limit Future Immigration to only Educated Europeans. (see Heritage Foundation recommendations)
3. End Jus Soli - Birthright Citizenship (14th Ammendment), what they term, Anchor Babies.
4. Continue Guest Worker Programs but put some type of device on the workers so they can be monitored and told to leave when work is done. And take their babies with them. (read my biometric data blog)
5. ProEnglish legislation and Stop anyone from Speaking Spanish. (read my Pro English Violence blog, especially comments)
If they do get their wish, their Core Agenda will be realized. They will stop or at least delay the Census bureau's majority minority predictions. As you read through the comments of most articles about these issues, the ANTI core agenda becomes abundantly clear. If you analyze their core agenda, it is obvious, this is a racist agenda. Regardless of how they bluster and complain about the racist term, once you discuss this with them, the racist core agenda becomes obvious. It is as clear as the "punch in the nose for speaking spanish" on your face.
For the PROs, our mission is clear. We need to stay involved, stay linked together, engage in discussion forums with ANTIs in newspaper comment sections across the country and communicate our message and our knowledge of their core agenda. We must stay civil, open and honest. Afterall, we do have Truth, Justice and the American Way on our side. We are evolving into a beautiful, multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural society.
Now for my opinion about PRO actionable items for this year. Our President has a lot on his plate. He has to deal with the Economy, the War and getting his Administration in order. Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) is the elephant in the room. There are far too many well trained ANTI fighters for us to expect to obtain CIR this year. But there are three things we can ask for and our President can provide this year.
They are:
1. Stop/Reduce ALL Hate Crimes: Ask President Obama to state he is against All Hate Crimes. Acknowledge the increase in Hate Crimes particularly against Latinos (as the FBI reported), Blacks and Lesbian/Gays. These groups have the highest incidents of occurence. Ask for his public repudiation of Hate Crimes and Ask for his support in ensuring those guilty of these crimes are charged to the fullest extent of the law. This includes the Hate Crimes committed in Patchogue, NY and Pottsville, PA.
2. Stop/Reduce Racial Profiling: All Racial Profiling is wrong. We have seen a significant amount of racial profiling occur in Maricopa County by Sheriff Arpaio under the 287(g) provisions. Several Mayors in Arizona, including the Mayors of Phoenix, Mesa and Guadalupe have written Federal Authorities and requested an investigation. We should ask President Obama to put a hault to the 287(g) provisions and ask Eric Holder to conduct a Federal Investigation on the Mayors charges.
3. Stop the Inhumane Treatment occurring in ICE Raids and Detention Centers: Postville, with their CattleBarn injustice, was a prime example of what can go wrong during an ICE Raid. Ask President Obama to put a halt to these inhumane raids. Additionally ask President Obama to investigate the inhumane treatment in Detention Centers, particularly the Hutto Family Detention center where entire families are jailed.
Each of these three items are Humane, they can be completed without legislation and they can be accomplished this year. If he does them, this will serve as a significant message to all of his Latino and Humanitarian supporters that he supports our message and his Latino supporters.
God Bless America
God Bless our President

The ANTI Core Agenda is clear!
Dear Dee :
Thanks for your wonderful posting everyday.
I posted one third of this article from yours in MILENIALS.COM with two links to this your post.
Dee Perez Scott, American Citizen from Texas posts against the Racist Agenda of some Bad Guys
I also wrote a preamble to your article :
This MILENIALS.COM is a website about Youth :
And that involves a lot of Minorities, because Minorities have a very high rate of reproduction, while Whites in America may decrease in a few years because of low child births.
What my friend Dee of Texas writes has always a High Intellectual, High Political and High Literary Quality. I always enjoy reading her site everyday. What a pleasure to see a sound voice in a sea of Hate, Bigotry, Hatred, Brutality, Racism, etc .... !

Vincente,
Thank you!
I believe that this agenda can be stopped. It isn't even popular. At this point in history, I'm afraid it's mostly pipe dreams, because the reality is that these wide demographic trends aren't changing. Nor do they need to.
The Southern Poverty Law Center recently released their latest report on hate groups, and there's a lot of information about anti-immigration groups being tied to white nationalists. If you want, check out what I said about it here.
They've done some pretty extensive documentation over at SPLC, so if you'd like to argue with me that racism has no place in the anti-immigration movement, please read their article first.
Czech,
The ANTI movement disregards the SPLC and the ADL and all of their extensive and valid documentation.
Dee- Do you know why that is, other than that they don't like their findings?
Czech,
There is no basis for their perspective other than what you said. They don't like their findings.
That is their frequent argument, attack the messenger.
Many times they shoot the messenger, in this case the SPLC, other times the ADL, or anyone, like me, who disagrees with them.
That is why they demonize NCLR, a reputable national Humanitarian group.
This is a nonissue. It is not a part of the core pro-
america agenda.
here's the core agenda; print it and save for future reference so you won't get off the trolley so easily.
In no particular order:
1. Official English
2. Borders effectively secured
3. Vigorous internal enforcement using E-verify with systematic humane repatriation of some of the illegal aliens with due concern for our economy and labor needs.
4. Send a message to those who would violate our borders
5. Employer penalties for those who hire illegals.
6. Employer financed family health care insurance for foreign workers.
7. Limit legal immigration to 200,000 per year exclusive of tourists, students, and temporary migrant workers.
8. Correct abuses of the 14th amendment.
9. Treat immigrants with respect; no immigrant bashing.
10. Require proof of the need for foreign workers; all jobs held by illegals must be re-advertised at a living wage with a preference for citizen labor.
11. Penalties for the sale or use of fraudulent documents to gain entry to our country or secure employment.
12. Birthright citizenship only if at least one parent is a citizen verified via DNA.
13. Birthright citizenship awarded at age 21 or upon enlistment in the armed forces for at least 4 years.
14. Fluency in writing, reading and speaking English for citizenship; failure does not constitute grounds for repatriation of legal immigrants.
15. Transition from bi-lingual to English classes at the earliest effective point that will assure success.
There may be more that I can add later. Supper is ready.
Ultima, here is my response to each of your items. My responses in CAPS:

YOUR SIDE HAS SO MUCH RHETORIC AND SO LITTLE TIME.
Who cares?
Dee wrote, "1. Official English: YOU ARE AGREEING WIHT MY NUMBER 5.
No, I'm not. You have an attention deficit disorder better see your doctor to get your meds renewed. Here's what I recommended for an Official English bill:
1. English is the official language of the United States and will be used at all levels of government for ballots, proceedings of official meetings, and all other government publications, transactions, and services.
Here's your version: 5. ProEnglish legislation and Stop anyone from Speaking Spanish.
See any resemblance? Stopping anyone from speaking Spanish is not part of the mainstream pro-America agenda. Please accept that fact.
Dee's version: ". Mass Deportation of the 12M people they term illegal aliens."
Mine: "3. Vigorous internal enforcement using E-verify with systematic humane repatriation of some of the illegal aliens with due concern for our economy and labor needs.
4. Send a message to those who would violate our borders
5. Employer penalties for those who hire illegals."
Anyone see any resemblance to Dee's hyperbole?
Dee's version: "Their plan is to make their lives so miserable, they will leave on their own"
My version: "Use E-verification of work status to determine who is eligible to work in this country; assume those who cannot get employment because of their illegal status will see their way clear to return home."
Examine the difference carefully; there is no hyperbole or emotional terms in my version
Dee's version: "they will get caught up in ICE Raids/Detention Centers or Neighborhood Sweeps (ala Arpaio). They want these raids stepped up so they leave within the next 4 years. The problem is, the 287(g) sweeps lead to Racial Profiling (ala Arpaio)"
As indicated earlier, the proposal is to use E-verification but ICE also has a job to do and roundups and detention of illegal aliens is not fundamentally inhumane. That is only in the eyes of those who do not wish to have the laws of our countrly enforced. The 287(g) sweeps should be accomplished within the law but that should not preclude looking for illegal aliens in the neighborhoods where they are most likely to be found. Joe Arpaio is tough. He treats everyone including anglos like dogs if they violate the law. He is effective.
I set no time limit on the sweeps and roundups. The message is the important thing not how many over some specified time period. Mass roundups and deportations are not necessariy or desirable to send the appropriate message that if you come here illegally, we will catch you and send you home after a few months working on border infrastructure, fingerprinting, DNAing, photographing and admonishment that if you return for a second offense you will do hard time. That's the message and the only message that will be effective. It is an important part of an effective border security program that extends to those who manage to escape the immediate environs of the border.
Dee's version, "all of this hate mongering has led to the increase in Hate Crimes against Latinos, as reported by the FBI. The ANTIs, however, could care less how all of this Racial Profiling or Hate Crimes impact the American Latinos and we already know they treat the workers like vermin."
My version. Hate mongering should stop on both sides of the argument. Crimes against citizens and immigrants should be quickly punished to the full extent of the law. There should be no immigrant bashing verbal or physical.
The impact on loyal latino citizens who cooperate with the law and ICE is minimal.
Use of the word "hate" all the time takes away its meaning and misconstrues the various motives of the perpetrators.
Dee's version, "2. Limit Future Immigration to only Educated Europeans."
My version: Reduce legal immigration to 200,000 per year exclusive of students, tourists, and temporary migrant workers. Focus the 200,000 on those who can best keep our country competitive. An engineer from Mexico or Brazil is just as welcome as one from China or Europe.
Dee's version: "3. End Jus Soli - Birthright Citizenship (14th Ammendment), what they term, Anchor Babies."
Modify it to limit its applicability to children who have at least one parent who is a citizen. Postpone the award citizenship until age 21 or upon enlistment in the armed forces for not less than 4 years. Anchor babies is an accurate and descriptive term without any pejorative connotations.
Dee says, "4. Continue Guest Worker Programs but put some type of device on the workers so they can be monitored and told to leave when work is done. And take their babies with them. "
My version: All visa holders should leave the U.S. when their visas expire whether they are migrant workers or students. Of course they should leave. And should anyone in their right mind advocate abandoning minor children when they leave the country as required by law.
Dee advocates if you have an anchor baby you are anchored here forever regardless of what your visa says and if you abandon your minor children, you will be guilty of child abuse.
So the pro=America agenda is clear to everyone except Dee.
Ultima,
English IS the National Language. There is NO NEED for Official English legislation. All that will do is increase the number of Hate Crimes like the punch in the face crime for speaking spanish.
Ultima,
Your version of making life as miserable as possible in order to achieve MASS Deportation, regardless how much Racial Profiling and Hate Crimes increae this causes is what I said!
Ultima,
Ice raids and Arpaio like Racial Profiling raids and internment in Detention Centers or Arpaio's vermin/disease infested death camps is making their lives as miserable as possible. SAME THING!!

Ultima,
Your side does not suffer. Only Latinos suffer the consequences of the Racial Profiling and as the FBI says, the increase in Hate Crimes against Latinos due to the ICE Raids, Arpaio Sweeps and the hatred this creates on your side to cause the attacks.
Your side are the perps. Latinos are the victims. But your side does not care.

So Ultima,
You basically confirmed everything I said.
ultima said...
So the pro=America agenda is clear to everyone except Dee.
I see where Ultima is beginning to hijack this thread with his nativist propaganda!
When the facts don't support your position, a page right out of the nativists handbook!
It is not a pro America agenda, but a neo right nativist agenda offered out of fear that maybe, just maybe, Hispanics will have some say in future elections as they did in the last one. And that scares the hell outta these people.
There will be no "English Only" Amendment to the Constitution.
There will be no repeal or additions to the 14th Amendment that has served this nation well for more than a hundred years.
And the nativists will continue to conjure up these fantasies to instill fear in the ignorant masses who at the moment are worrying about everything other than Mexicans in their mist.
pcorn siad:
"There will be no repeal or additions to the 14th Amendment that has served this nation well for more than a hundred years."
The 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution for a reason. It was to ensure that the slaves and their children brought here against their will would have U.S. citizenship. Besides that reason, please give examples of how, let's say in the last 75 years this Amendment has served our nation well as you state.
PCorn,
You are right.
And this very discussion with the ANTI side proves it.
pcorn54 said...

dee,
Perhaps you can give an example how the 14th Amendment has served this nation well as pcorn states.
Each of the Ammendments of the Constitution has served our country well, including the 14th Ammendment. Jus Soli, birthright citizenship is part of our Constitution. We would not be the nation we are without birthright citizenship.
Today, there are countries, like Germany, with jus sanguinis policies that have left many children born in their countries without a country. It is an abomination.
Yes. Our 14th Ammendment has served our country well. All one has to do is look into the eyes of our citizen children and we see the glory of our future.
God Bless America!
Right, we wouldn't be a nation of over 300 million people if not for giving our citizenship away like candy to children of parents who plainly have no respect for our immigration laws. Our population would be much less and that would have been a good thing.
The 14th Amendment has not been interpreted correctly as Lou said. It wasn't meant to include children of illegal aliens.
Most countries require that one or both parents be citizens of the country their child is born in order for their child to qualify for birthright citizenship. Anything else is a scam and a slap in the face to most Americans who value our precious citizenship.

Disagree! Part of the reason I am proud of the USA is birthright citizenship. Immigration-destination countries that don't have it create horrible circumstances for the children born of immigrant parents. It is wrong to punish children for the deeds of their parents.
@ultima:
The term "anchor baby" is offensive.
Anonymous said "The 14th Amendment has not been interpreted correctly as Lou said. It wasn't meant to include children of illegal aliens."
Sez who? Our prez is a constitutional lawyer, maybe he'll randomly revoke this amendment. What with all the compelling evidence and stuff.
What was the original context of the 2nd Amendment, by the way? That period of history is over also, so by this logic, let's get rid of that one too!
Why don't you just respect the Constitution of the United States?
How is denying children of illegal aliens birthright citizenship, "punishing them"? They become the citizens of their parent's country. You call that punishment? Are the countries that require one or both parents to be citizens, punishment to their children? Are their parent's countries so awful that it is deemed punishment for them to become automatic citizens of their countries?
Right, we should respect the Constitution of the U.S. and the 14th Amendment is clear that it does not grant birthright citizenship to children of illegal alien parents. It is the Supreme Court that is disrespectin our Constitution. Illegal alien parents are not "subject to our jurisdiction" which is part of the requirements of birthright citizenship.
Anon,
Your problem is, you make no sense.
The law of our land, as in many other countries, is Jus Soli.
There are some countries with Jus Sanguin, however, I have layed out the problems with this.
Jus Soli is in the constitution. And it takes a Constitutional change to delete it.
This is NOT going to happen, wish as you might.
You lay out your OPINION about the 14th Ammendment with no basis of law or fact. It is just your OPINION.
Get this straight. The Constitution will NOT change unless the Supreme Court or Congressional Act (legislation) deems it so.
Until then, LIVE BY the Constitution. If you do not like our Constitution, THEN you are free to leave our Country.
Anon,
It is clear.
You are a racist.
You are full of Hate and Fury.
So Sad. Too Bad.
IF you do not approve of our constitution, you are Free to leave at any time.
Additionally, if you want to continue to post on this site, DO NOT try to attempt to hijack my site or go off topic.
No one is forcing you to stay.
Why not create your own blog. eblogger is very easy. Feel free to do so!
Anon,
Why dont you read the case law:
Wong Kim Ark[1] (黃金德; Toisanese: wong11 gim33 'ak3; Cantonese: wong4 gam1 dak1; Mandarin: huáng jīn dé) was born in San Francisco, California, sometime between 1868 and 1873.[2] His father, Wong Si Ping and his mother, Wee Lee[3] were immigrants from Taishan, China and were not United States citizens.
In 1890 Wong's parents returned to live in China. Later that year Wong himself traveled to China and, having returned, was granted entry "upon the sole ground that he was a native-born citizen of the United States". Four years later, however, the circumstances had changed, as Wong, who was employed in San Francisco as a cook, sailed to China on another temporary visit in 1894. When he returned to the U.S. in August 1895, he was detained at the Port of San Francisco by the Collector of Customs and denied permission to enter the country "...because the said Wong Kim Ark, although born in the city and county of San Francisco, state of California, United States of America, is not, under the laws of the state of California and of the United States, a citizen thereof, the mother and father of the said Wong Kim Ark being Chinese persons, and subjects of the emperor of China, and the said Wong Kim Ark being also a Chinese person and a subject of the Emperor of China."
The Supreme Court, in the Wong Kim Ark case, was called upon to decide whether an American-born person of Chinese ancestry could constitutionally be denied U.S. citizenship and excluded from the country.
Held: In a 6-2 decision, the Court held that under the Fourteenth Amendment, a child born in the United States of parents of foreign descent, at the time of the child's birth, BECOMES A CITIZEN of the United States at the time of birth.
ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION. HAS BEEN RULED UPON BY THE SUPREME COURT. AND IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.
GET OVER IT ANON.
THE CONSTITUTION WILL NOT BE CHANGED!!!
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE CONSTITUION, YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE OUR GREAT USA!!
Dee,
I am trying to type one-handed since I burnt my fingers on my left hand. Nonetheless, I had to respond to the comments about the 14th amendment.
What part of legal do these bigots not understand? I thought they were for the rule of law. Or is it just the laws that are congruent with their bigotry?
Bigots were trying to take the rights afforded from the 14th amendment away from the Chinese as early as the latter part of the 1860s.
These guys are funny.
IX,
You've hit the nail on the head! They are not for Rule of Law. They are only for Rule of Law they agree with and this proves it!!

Their precious Constitution was written in an age when the founding father's could not have dreamed what America would become, geographically and otherwise.
2nd Amendment was written during the days of single shot powder muskets. If the framers of the Constitution could have envisioned the weapons available today, I imagine they would have been more specific.
14th Amendment was written at a time when immigration was not a problem and it did concern children of slaves. However, it has stood the test of time despite being debated by the 4th grade Constitutional scholars who won't to pick it apart to reflect their own agenda.
Either the Constitution is a rock solid document or it is a living document. You can't pick and choose to have it reflect your prejudices!
Yes
