Only eight short years from now, immigrants will make up a record-high 14.8 percent of the total U.S. population, and longtime conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly views the rising tide of newcomers as a purposeful attack on the country.

By the nation’s own president.
“It’s deliberate,” Schlafly told WND in an interview. “It’s not any accident. It’s because Obama and his friends are letting all these people in who don’t want to be Americans, who don’t want to speak English.”
The Census Bureau projected last month that the U.S. immigrant population, legal and illegal, will total a record 51 million in 2023. At that point, one in seven U.S. residents will be an immigrant. By 2060, nearly one in five U.S. residents will be an immigrant, and the total U.S. population will be 417 million – 108 million more than in 2010.
Conservative activist Richard Viguerie, author of “Takeover: The 100-Year War For The Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can Finally Win It,” noted that most of today’s immigrants come from nations more politically and culturally liberal than the United States. Therefore, he expects the growing immigrant population to make the entire country more liberal.
“It’s going to pull America to the left, for sure,” Viguerie told WND in an interview. “America will become closer to the European model of state control of our country.”
Of course, if America moves to the left, it will naturally gravitate toward the Democratic Party, the party of big government. Schlafly, author of “Who Killed the American Family?” worries about the future of the GOP.
“I think one of the reasons Obama and his friends are so eager to open the gates to more and more immigrants is they think it’s going to defeat the conservative movement and the Republican Party,” Schlafly said. “Of course, they all come from countries that are not used to the idea of limited government. They’re used to countries where the government makes all the decisions, and they don’t know anything different.
“They don’t understand what Americans mean when we talk about limited government, so I think one of their motives clearly is death to the conservative movement and the Republican Party.”
Viguerie agreed if all the new immigrants vote, it would spell the death of the Republican Party. But he also worries about another way the party might be destroyed.
“The Republican Party, if it were to nominate a pro-amnesty candidate, would self-destruct and not be able to politically survive having a political candidate that is pro-amnesty,” Viguerie said. “It would just drive a stake in the hearts of the grassroots Republican voters, and there would be almost no chance the Republican nominee could win the election.”
Regarding the field of likely 2016 GOP presidential contenders, Viguerie believes Jeb Bush is completely on the wrong side of the immigration issue. He said Marco Rubio and Scott Walker are suspect on the issue, even though Walker recently talked about the need to reform legal immigration.
“But a Bobby Jindal, a Ted Cruz are solidly anti-amnesty,” Viguerie said. “They’re in sync with the majority of the Republican voters and the majority of Americans.”
Schlafly agreed that Cruz is a good anti-illegal immigration candidate, and she praised Walker for his comments on legal immigration. Nevertheless, she believes any Republican who wants to limit immigration is swimming upstream.
“The powers-that-be, the propagandists, big media, and the big donors in the Republican Party are all pushing this massive immigration,” she said. “And of course that’s the view of big business – they want the cheap labor.”
The Census Bureau projects that the U.S. immigrant population will grow nearly four times faster than the native population. It will reach 15.8 percent by 2030 and 18.8 percent by 2060, at which time there will be 78 million immigrants in the country. By contrast, there were only 20 million immigrants in the U.S. in 1990, accounting for 7.9 percent of the population.
Schlafly and Viguerie say the GOP could decline under a flood of new immigrants, but so could the country.
“We may be at a breaking point already, I don’t know,” Schlafly said. However, she noted that she remains a Reagan optimist and doesn’t believe America will totally collapse.
Viguerie thinks the breaking point might not be that distant.
“We may be closer to that than we suspect, because Obama is on a fast track to change the voting demographics of this country by importing tens of millions of Democrat voters from South America, and so we could reach a tipping point within a few years,” he said.
“We’ve got a large percentage of people here who are not Americans, they don’t want to be Americans, they’re not assimilating, they want to keep their culture, they want to keep their language, they don’t know our history.”
Viguerie specifically referenced radical Muslims as one group that should not be let into the country.
“We need a different vetting system,” Viguerie declared. “We need to vet these people. We need to keep out radical Muslims. If you’re a radical Muslim, you should not be coming to this country, and we don’t have a proper vetting system for people who are interested in our destruction.”
Ultimately, Viguerie believes it will take strong leadership to stem the tide of immigration and preserve a uniquely American culture. However, the veteran fundraiser is not entirely optimistic.
“We don’t have the leadership in the Congress, we don’t have the leadership certainly in the executive branch, and we don’t have it in the Republican Party,” he said.
Viguerie said it will be up to voters to demand that their leaders solve the immigration crisis. He hopes some of the newer tea party-affiliated congressmen will provide real leadership on the immigration issue.
“Right now, most of the people who are thought to be leaders on the Republican side are intimidated by mainstream media and hesitant to step out, but it’s time to say we need to call a halt to mass immigration into this country here,” he said.
Schlafly, for her part, feels the American people are already on her side when it comes to immigration control. Indeed, a Gallup poll taken last June found a plurality of Americans, 41 percent, thought current immigration levels should be decreased. Only 22 percent thought they should be increased.
“I think the public opinion polls are showing that the majority of Americans agree with the views that I’ve been expressing,” Schlafly contended. “However, major media doesn’t put it out that way.”
She said ordinary people just need to keep talking about how immigration is harming them, and eventually politicians and the media will no longer be able to ignore them.
Viguerie said immigration should be slowed down.
“Let us catch our breath here and figure out, because the world is changing in front of our eyes,” Viguerie said. “Much of the world is moving toward a virulently anti-American, anti-Western values belief system. And we need to take a look at who’s coming into this country, and what are their views and values.”
We must stop them from voting or we will never see our country turn back to being what is suppose to be, the Federal government will take over everything and the dictators will win.

The German people are very impressive in my opinion after what they went through during WWII and the leader in all Europe. If you notice this guy has a totally different opinion on just about everything and they seem to make it work, why can't we. JMO

For Germans, there is simply no choice. Already in the Obama vs. McCain election, or in the Gore vs. Bush election, people thought that the choice was beyond obvious (and were flabberghasted that the Republican candidate received more than 5% of votes). This is because mainstream German politicians, even far-from-center right-wing ones, cannot get away with proposing even one of the things the Republican party is proposing. The political landscape is completely different.

Across all party lines, Germans hold these truths to be self-evident:

Universal health care is essential (in Germany since 1883)
Education should be free in order to guarantee equal chances.
The poor and unemployed are so because of bad luck or hard times or unscrupulous corporations, usually not through any fault of their own, so they deserve our solidarity and support.
The idea of "pulling oneself up by one's bootstraps" is usually as unworkable as the picture suggests.
Rich people are no job creators, so they don't deserve tax privileges. The German right-wing will support lowering nonwage labor costs, while the German left-wing thinks that the economy is doing great as it is and that more support should go to the little man.
There is no alternative to cooperation between nations. Even though the UN is not perceived as wildly successful, nobody would suggest that they're obsolete. Similarly, nobody would suggest that Germany, or any nation, could or should isolate itself.
Data privacy is a major concern. Google was unprepared for the fervour with which people claimed this right.
Death penalty is uncivilized. So is widespread gun ownership.
War is always wrong. Torture is always wrong, even if you re-define it.
Climate change is a major threat. Germany is one of the most environmentalist countries in the world.
Contraception and abortion are facts of life.
LGBT people are normal members of society. In fact, our foreign minister is in a registered partnership with his husband.
Add to that that Germans are less fervently religious (few people have even heard of the idea of Creationism) and that politicians referring to God in their speeches make people uncomfortable by reminding them of the time of crusades. If a German politician mentioned Germany as often as many American politicians mention America in their speeches, the world would be getting ready for another war. Politics are different right down to the way politicians communicate. Obama doesn't communicate like a German politician (German politicians' speeches are boring and not followed by the general public), but he leaves out most of the religious & patriotic rhetoric that people find hard to stomach, and the "us vs. them". When visiting Germany, he even does his research and adds a lot of local references to his speeches, endearing himself to the locals without thereby giving ground on America's interests.

People are disappointed in Obama, at least equally so as Americans. In Germany, there is MUCH greater pressure for MPs to vote party line. If a party has enough votes to elect the chancellor, it also has enough votes to realize most of what they want to do (if only they intended to keep campaign promises...). As such, people cannot understand that members of Obama's own party were blocking some of the projects he got elected for. There is still no other electable American politician who believes in (most of) our self-evident truths, so Germans are rooting for Obama to get a second term for complete lack of an alternative.

I believe that the Germany we know today is a totally different place than in the past. They are accomplishing great things and are moving ahead as a nation, I don't feel that we are. Look at what they have done since the Berlin Wall fell, it is truly amazing what can be done when most everyone is on the same page.JMO

Not too many foreign Prowler owners come to this political section and if they do they don't post their opinions, It would be interesting to hear their input.

Germany is truly talented with talented people with a great work ethic !
America is a huge melting pot of mediocrity ! Sample : vhs vs beta.
We will take cheap lesser quality vs more expensive higher quality.

Must remember : our immigrants ( legal or illegal) aren't coming from Germany.

Why would they, they are GIVEN everything they need plus much more. We aren't moving ahead and it is due to the fact that we reward laziness and having more children out of wedlock raised by their grandparents.
I would suggest you start voting Republican to change this type of behavior.

You are missing the point ed, we need to start working together with common goals. It is much more efficient to travel in the same direction toward a common goal than to go in opposite directions and keep tearing things apart and that won't happen until people start talking to each other again.

Think about that!
And then 12-20 million illegals !
We have become a service country vs a producing country.

I would guess that has always been the case, not nescerrarly service but entry level low paying jobs. If things were really good for them in their home country, why would they leave in the first place.

That will never happen since folks are willing to give away everything in order to get the votes from the folks who will never work, but will go to vote every once in awhile.
The folks in power want to stay there so they give the "needy" everything they need and really don't NEED. Right now things are free in Baltimore to the needy, not the working class, or middle class.
