"NATIVISTS HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT OF MIAMI BY HISPANICS WHO AREN'T INTERESTED IN ASSIMILATING"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
What has happened in Miami, Florida is indeed a shame!
Nativists have been fleeing this city for years. Today, Spanish has replaced American English as the number one language, "In An American City." As if this isn't bad enough, those Americans who decided to hang on, and stay in Miami, report that finding employment has proven to be difficult, because "They Don't Speak Spanish."
I have said this before, there is "No Incentive" for Latinos to learn English, given the fact that this country has bent over backwards to accomodate them, by printing in Spanish, products that we use, Spanish speaking interceptors, who field our calls when we telephone a business, and of course, the now infamous, "Bilingual School Programs," which by the way, have been a total failure!
Have you noticed that we now have "Voice Over" television commercials with Spanish sounding speakers, bastardizing American English?
Hispanics have steadfastly held onto their language and culture. Meantime, those more interested in pocketing filthy lucre, rather than taking pride in being an American, are growing in leaps in bounds. What does all of this portend for the United States of America? Well, if Miami is a snapshot of things to come, imagine, if John McCain, Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy, and the rest of the gang get their way in regards to the reported "20-30 Million Illegal Aliens In This Country." If these people are given a path to citizenship, America will look like parts of Mexico in another half century!
In a report provided by the Associated Press, writer Gisela Salomon declared:
"In stores, shopkeepers wait on their clients in Spanish. Universities offer programs for Spanish speakers. And in supermarkets, banks, restaurants--even at the post office and government offices--information is given and assistance is offered in Spanish. In Miami, doctors and nurses speak Spanish with their patients and a large portion of advertising is in Spanish. Daily newspapers and radio and television programming cater to the Hispanic public"
All of this is done "In An American City," ladies and gentlemen. Try and go to Mexico, and see how fast the Mexican government accomodates makiing things easier for you, by providing everything in "American English."
Don't hold your breath!
We must not lose sight. This is all about the "Greenback." I doubt if the people who are willing to bend over and grab their ankles for Latinos, have ever thought about the consequences of their actions.
By surrendering the city of Miami to Latinos, this country has given up its sovereignty!
If you think that the vast majority of Hispanics living in Miami really give a "Ding Dong" about this country, you need to think again. If they cared about America, they would be part of the "Great Melting Pot." They would go beyond the simple rudiments of American English. They would master our language!
By not learning our language, there is an element of disdainfulness for this country. I don't see how their refusal to assimilate into our culture and that means learning our language can be viewed any other way.
When I lived in New York City as a child, I met Latinos who had been in this country for fifty years. Yet, their grasp of our language was minimal at best. Why? They not only didn't care about learning our language, they had no reason to "Break A Sweat, Learning English."
There is a backlash to what is taking place in Miami. Just like there will be a backlash to controlling judges who have shoved homosexuality down the throats of Americans.
Eventually, the people who refuse to learn our language will have to travel outside of Miami. If they are traveling to other American cities, they will find that not everyone is so willing to make things easy for them.
What I am having a difficult time in understading about Hispanics, is why do they eschew learning our language and culture? Why emigrate to a country where you set up your own little Latino enclaves?
What we are witnessing in Miami, Florida is a real shame!
The nineteenth-century American poet, Emma Lazarus, penned these words that are affixed at the base of the Statue of Liberty:
"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-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door"
Such beautiful words that inspired millions of immigrants who went through Ellis Island. The difference between the immigrants from years gone by, and the new immigrants, the ones living in Miami, indeed presents a stark contrast!
The people who came here years ago, wanted to be called an, "American." They couldn't wait to assimilate into our culture. And that meant learning our language.
Back then, nativists cared more about this great land, than what they could extract from her!
Alas, we can thank liberals for inserting into the minds of Latinos, how, "Not To Be Proud Of America, But Rather Blame America For All Of The Ills That Face The World."
At the same time, be proud of your country of origin--but treat America like a contemptible object that is only tolerated--because of the niceties that she so graciously extends to you and your family!
