| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Just the other day, C-SPAN interviewed this guy, Adriano Espaillat. | |
| He is a freshman congressman from Harlem. | |
| His parents brought him from the Dominican Republic when he was nine years old. | |
| The family overstayed their visa, making them all illegal immigrants. | |
| Later, Mr. Espaillat got some kind of amnesty. | |
| Became a citizen, and this January was voted in as the first former illegal immigrant to be elected to Congress. | |
| He likes to brag about it. | |
| This is what he thinks Republican congressmen think. | |
| And I quote, People will see me pass by them in the hallways and say, Wow, that guy at one point came here, overstayed his visa, and look at him. | |
| He's one of our colleagues now. | |
| I think it's very much an American story and one that I hope resonates across the aisle. | |
| An American story? | |
| Illegal immigrant lawbreaker becomes lawmaker? | |
| This guy wants us to think he's Horatio Alger. | |
| So what was Adriano Espaillat doing on C-SPAN? | |
| Well, pushing for amnesty for the so-called Dreamers, of course. | |
| They're just like him, you see, brought to the United States as innocent children. | |
| Going to school, serving America, paying taxes in the only country they've ever known. | |
| Mr. Espaillat says that it would be un-American not to let these people become citizens. | |
| Well, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think immigrants have some damn cheek telling us what's American and what isn't. | |
| It especially grates on me when they lecture us, as this guy does, with a heavy Spanish accent. | |
| I'd like to ask him this. | |
| What if my parents had smuggled me into your country, the Dominican Republic, and managed to hide me from the authorities for years? | |
| What if I had gone to school on the public dime, maybe gone on welfare, and was now claiming, it's outrageous, it's un-Dominican, not to give me amnesty? | |
| Would Congressman Espaillat lift a finger to help me? | |
| Surely he'd say, too bad. | |
| Your parents broke the law. | |
| Out you go. | |
| He probably thinks it's only the United States and other white countries that have some kind of obligation to reward illegal entry. | |
| I'd go even further. | |
| What if every so-called dreamer were a white European? | |
| Would he be roaring about what we owe these wonderful young people? | |
| I doubt that. | |
| I think Mr. Espaillat beats the drum for dreamers for just one reason. | |
| He's Hispanic, and they're Hispanic. | |
| Mr. Espaillat represents Charles Rangel's old district, a part of Harlem that used to be black. | |
| But as soon as it became majority Hispanic, Mr. Espaillat outvoted Charlie Rangel and became the new congressman. | |
| So, of course, he wants more Hispanics in the country. | |
| He's standing up for his people. | |
| That's fine. | |
| But if we stand up for our people, it's un-American. | |
| On C-SPAN, Mr. Espaillat was also in a fine lather about something else. | |
| As you probably know, there's been yet another jump in illegal immigrants sneaking in with children. | |
| Central Americans follow U.S. debates on amnesty like they were World Cup soccer games. | |
| They've heard all about Dreamer amnesty, and they want to get in on the next good thing. | |
| Well... Attorney General Jeff Sessions has stopped catch and release and is prosecuting illegal entry as a crime. | |
| When that happens, you arrest adults and send children to detention centers. | |
| Mr. Espyat says this is, and I quote, unconscionable. | |
| He says we're separating families. | |
| We've got to go back to catch and release to keep families together. | |
| What's the logic here? | |
| If I walk into a grocery store with my children and walk out with a bunch of steaks stuffed down my pants and get arrested, I'm going to be separated from my children. | |
| And whose fault is that? | |
| The grocery store? | |
| If keeping families together is what matters, just make it illegal to arrest anyone with children. | |
| Right, Congressman? | |
| No one is going to be separated from his children if he just stays in Guatemala or El Salvador. | |
| But... Congressman S. Bayat told C-SPAN, and I quote, Any parent? | |
| Any parent would want to bring his children to a superior society like ours, so we have to let them in. | |
| Any parent. | |
| This is the kind of mush we get in a country where illegal immigrants can become congressmen. | |
| Mr. Espaillat also tells us that these dreamers who were sneaked across the border when they were children may know no other country besides the U.S. Sending them back to El Salvador or Colombia would be too much of an adjustment for them. | |
| Well, I don't understand. | |
| If someone who has lived all his life in El Salvador comes here, isn't that an adjustment? | |
| Why is that adjustment just fine, but having someone go the other way is too cruel to contemplate? | |
| What's going on here? | |
| It's obvious what's going on here. | |
| Every one of these arguments is a shameless con to justify bringing as many third-world people as possible into the United States, legally, illegally, deserving, undeserving. | |
| So far as I can tell, Mr. Espaillat and people like him care only about one thing, giving our country away to people like themselves. | |
| Well, sorry. | |
| The United States is not up for grabs. | |
| These so-called dreamers are illegal aliens. | |
| Their presence in this country is a crime. |
