Your editorial, Voices of hate, Saturday, Dec. 12, was a Quixotic opinion. The idea that the Hispanic population will grow rapidly during the next decade is based on past instead of currently developing trends. Presently, immigration of all types is slowing, will come to an abrupt halt, and an exodus will actually begin during the next decade. Even if the congress passes an amnesty for illegal aliens, immigrants, particularly Hispanics will depart America by the millions in the coming decades.
It’s ironic, but the election of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party’s control of congress, partly because of Hispanic votes is the very event that will reverse the immigration trends of the last 40 years. The U.S. has been through several tumultous periods but this time it’s not business as ususal. The Democrat’s ineptitude will result in the total collapse of the U.S. economy. A coming war with Iran and Syria in the middle-east and other locations on the globe will join economic mismanagement to devastate America’s job market to the extent that it will be impossible for immigrants to remain in this country. Chaos, homelessness and widespread popular discontent in the form of mass demonstrations in our cities and towns will contribute to such an inhospitable environment it will be as America has become a place of bad air.
You may scoff at my prediction and you may think this is a voice of hate but in the coming years you will see these events unfold. The greatest irony of all though, began when the Democrats chose to use immigration for party building instead of nation building and a fraction of the Republicans chose to join them for cheap labor. These are the real voices of hate then because they ignored the needs of the nation to increase their own personal power and wealth. As a result those selfish motivations will blow smack-dab-up in their faces.
