Ann Coulter was on Hannity of Fox News recently, where she is discussing her new book:
The subtitle is:
The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World HellHole Coulter is her usual, feisty, self, but she will always get her battle slightly wrong, since she is batteling primarily with those "evil liberals" rather than the issues at hand. I think that is the curse of conservatives, who, rather than sticking to their principles, and setting the agenda for the battle, are sucked in to confronting liberal ideas, and perennially fighting to straighten those lopsided views rather than presenting their own.
She has made, from the interview, a good and noble effort to uncover the underbelly of immigration, and specifcially the un-American nature of this immigration agenda.
Below is the video of her interview with Hannity.
Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Hannity starts off by telling her right at the beggining that this wasn't a "partisan" issue, nor a liberal issue, but, says Hannity, "We have two parties that don't want to solve the problem, otherwise the fence that works at the White House and in gated communities, as you point out, would be built."Coulter : Right, not only that, but there would be a change to the legal immigration...My book is about legal immigration. The Somalils leaving to fight with ISIS, those are legal immigrants. The Mali immigrants raping little girls, those are legal immigrants. The immigrants going on welfare, at rates far above the native rates, committing crimes at what appears to be far above the native rate - the government won't tell us. Never has a country been transformed like this. Never in world history. And it has been done as a express plan by the left, because they want voters more favorable to liberal policies. It is striking how all of the most avid immigration activists, and there are hundreds, probably thousands of groups, just working overtime to bring in the poorest of the poor to live in America. They're always the people who don't particularly like America. They call us racist, sexist, homophobic. Why are they bringing these poor Third Worldists here? It's because they want to transform America, because they hate America, and Republicans aren't stopping them because the big donors want the cheap labor. So, it boils down to greed. But, liberals are far more "principled" than that. Yes, the effect of immigration my be cheap labor, but the essence of immigration is equality . America is open to all, it is a country which prides itself on equality of peoples. Its original population is made of immigrants too! All those whites who fled, immigrated, to a new land to find new opportunities! Since Coulter clings on to (however subconciously) the primarily economic and materialistic view of immigration, her conclsuisions will always be the same. National ideas, for them to take hold and germinate, have to hold more than economic and materialistic, bases. In the case of liberals, it is equality that trumps everything. Everyone is equal in immigrating to America. Everyone is equal in being free in America. Everyone is equal in living in America. If people fall short, then the rules can be changed. If they don't qualify for immigration, then they can get special considerations as political refugees. If they cannot live to the standards of middle class Americans, they they can get special government benefits. If they don't feel "free," then the rules, regulations and laws of America can be changed to accommodate them. Coulter understands the deep and dire implications of this decades-long immigration policy, and especially that which brings people in from the Third World. But, she hasn't yet realized that this has become an American - Democrats or Republicans - issue, and that attacking liberals (Democrats) isn't the way to solve it. Here is another insight by Coulter. If she goes in this line, she might be able to make the conrrect conclusions, unless she capitulates as the "hate" groups push her away with their accusations of "hate" crimes.Coulter : First World countries, developed countries, countries where the immigrants do not go on welfare and commit crimes, they are specifically being discriminated against. So we can drag in the poorest of the poor to instantly go on welfare Hannity : You know you will be called racist.Coulter : Well as I say, that's the only argument they have. But they'd prefer not to debate me at all, but if they have to they'll call me a racist. Coulter finishes off the interview citing her final chapters where she provides solutions to the problem, which starts off with closing off the borders, literal (the Mexican border) or I don't want to be too harsh on Coulter. She is doing the best she can with the data that she has managed to discover, and about which she is shocked and which caused her to change her original book into this one primarily about immigration. As she goes on more speaking tours, and as she starts getting the wrath of the un-American, anti-American groups, white, Third World, Hispanic, black, immigrants (there are many), she will fine-tune, I am sure, her discussion of the book. I should send her my experience in the Canadiana Room, and my post on the Third World Goddess Meena Chopra: Meena Chopra's Ephemera and David Hooks' Tangible: Art in the Multiculturalism Era Meena Chopra: Poetess, Artist, Oriental Goddess Par Excellence
