NOTE: John Shanahan, Editor, website: allaboutenergy.net. The recent illegal mass migration into Europe from Africa and the Middle East and mass illegal immigration from Central America into the United States are causing tremendous social, economic and political turmoil. The polite term is called “multiculturalism.” The reality is total disruption of society with corresponding issues for humanity. The world can not tolerate or allow millions of people to “invade” other countries and breakdown their government and social order, simply because of turmoil, war, crime, lack of clean water where they come from. The problems must be solved in the countries of origin with help from the better off countries. On the other hand, leftist extremists want to “solve” this problem by destroying the better off countries and sending their wealth to the rest of the world. That will be WW III with different armies, different weapons. John Eidson is all for solving this problem the right way, not just shoving it into the background. He is also for confronting the issues raised by the extreme left.
How Democrats are using multiculturalism and immigration to destroy America By John Eidson | Feb. 26, 2020 “Multiculturalism” refers to the progressive teaching that every culture is equally valid, and that cultural norms different from our own should be immune from criticism. In other words, if another person’s culture is cool with female genital mutilation and throwing gay men from rooftops — accepted practices in some Muslim countries — who are we to say those things are wrong? Multicultural ideology demands that America open its arms to immigrants and refugees from all cultures, even ones that condone mutilating the genitals of young girls and throwing innocent gay men to their death. In June 2004, a conference was held in the nation’s capitol about the mortal danger multiculturalism and unchecked immigration pose to America. One of the speakers was Victor Davis Hanson, a conservative Republican whose best-selling book, “Mexifornia,” chronicles how multiculturalism and massive immigration have virtually destroyed his home state of California. A few months after the conference, former Colorado governor Dick Lamm, a liberal Democrat, delivered a stunning address that described how multiculturalism and massive immigration will, if not reversed, lead to the destruction

of America as we know it. As published on the website of conservative journalist Michelle Malkin, below are highlights of Gov. Lamm’s 8-point plan to destroy America.
I have a plan to destroy America By Richard D. Lamm Governor of Colorado (1975 – 1987) February 9, 2008 I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and they all fall, and that “an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.” Here is my plan. 1. We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. One scholar, Seymour Martin Lipset, put it this way: “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. 2. I would then invent “multiculturalism” and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal: that there are no cultural differences that are important. I would declare it an article of faith that the black and Hispanic dropout rate is only due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out-of-bounds. 3. We can make the United States a “Hispanic Quebec” without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with a salad bowl metaphor. It is important to insure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences, rather than Americans emphasizing their similarities. 2
4. Having done all this, I would make our fastest-growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50 percent dropout rate from school. 5. I would then get the big foundations and big business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of victimology. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was all the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population. 6. I would establish dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity. “Diversity” is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other–that is, when they are not killing each other. A “diverse,” peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together, and we can take advantage of this myopia. 7. Then I would place all these subjects off-limits–make it taboo to talk about them. I would find a word similar to “heretic” in the 16th century that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like “racist”, “xenophobe” halt argument and conversation. I would have the large foundations fund the doctrine of “victimology.” Then, I would make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra –“because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good.” I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact. 8. Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s book “Mexifornia” – this book is dangerous; it exposes my plan to destroy America. So please, please–if you feel that America deserves to be destroyed–please, please–don’t buy this book! This guy is on to my plan.
When Gov. Lamm finished his speech, the conference room was silent, as everyone in the overflow audience realized that what they’d just heard was being methodically carried out by the post-1960s Democratic Party in its ongoing attempt to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” through multiculturalism and massive immigration.

Prepared by the Center for Immigration Studies, the video presentation below shows the ruinous impact massive immigration is having on the country your children and grandchildren will live in.
