Republicans in a Lincoln Day dinner declare illegal immigrants as the greatest threat to Western Civilization.

In a rousing speech that had Republicans standing on their feet at the annual Lincoln Day dinner in Iowa, the Republican Congressman from Colorado, Representative Tom Tancredo declared illegal immigration as the greatest threat to Western Civilization, for sure angering the White House for not using Al-Qaeda as the greatest threat to Western Civilization. How could any one but a Republican buy such a stupid declaration? And how could any one but a Republican buy into the idea that illegal immigration is the greatest threat to Western Civilization?
Now joining Congressman Tancredo ( I am sure he is not a Native American Indian but an immigrant from somewhere) is the Republican presidential candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City who himself is not a Native American Indian, but the son or grandson of an Italian immigrant, albeit legal/illegal immigrant.
Now the Republican Party has a great platform for its coming presidential campaign. It is the illegal immigrants that pose the greatest threat to America. Of course not the stupid and reckless policies of the White House and the Republican controlled congress that lead us to the War on Iraq costing the lives of some 3,500 of our finest soldiers, putting our country on debt for generations to come, putting priorities such as education, healthcare and affordable housing at great risk, and of course the killing and murder of over 750,000 Iraqis, and the only thing the leading activist of the Republican Party can come up with is illegal immigration as the platform. Only if they claimed illegal immigration as a threat to the US one perhaps can uderstand that, but declaring illegal immigration as the greatest threat to Western Civilization is taking it a bit too far. Perhaps they could have said, Jihadist or international terrorism, or drug trafficing, or white color crimes committed by their friends in corporate America, but to declare the poor Spanish immigrant from Mexico and Central America as a threat to Western Civilization is a bit too much. Once again, the Republicans are proving they lost their marbles.
Of course Republicans want to hid and ignore their failures at every front, from the War on Iraq to their War on Terrorism, to the War on Drugs, and of course having succeed at their War against the poor and the unemployed. With the exception of making money for their friends in the business community who robbed the country blind in Iraq with cost to tax payers in the tens of billions of dollars,the only thing Republicans can say to cover up their failure is to blame every thing on illegal immigrants. That is a repeat of what the small town of Herndon, VA said when it declared the Latino illegal immigrant as the greatest threat to its community and values.
I could not understand how an illegal immigrant from San Salvador or Ecuador can be a great threat to Western Civilization, a civilization that stretches from Greece in the East to Los Angeles in the West. Keep in mind the Republican did not claim illegal immigrant as a threat to the US but to Western Civilization. Of course, it is true these hard working immigrants are a threat to Western Civilization; they are the one who build our homes, making lots of money for White American and Republican businessmen. They keep the grass cut and our highways clean, they cook for us in restaurants where lobbyist buy a $100 dinner for members of congress. They clean the homes and baby sit for rich Republicans as they go out and rob and fleece America and corrupt the core values of America as the land of freedoms and the homes of the brave.
Yes, these poor and hardworking illegal immigrants are the greatest threat to Western Civilization far greater threats than nuclear war, or the bird flue or the drug trafficing. Why? Because these illegal immigrants are not White. They do not come from "White" countries such as Russia, or East or West Europe, where the Russian Mafia have substituted and taken over from the Italian mafia illegal gambling, drug trafficking, prostitution and while slavery and racketeering. Of course these millions of illegal immigrants are working so hard accepting minimum wages to keep the farms of Californian and Florida thriving, and keeping the US construction industry and housing market going. What if these "Brown skinned" illegal immigrants where "White skinned" would Republican say they are the greatest threat to Western Civilization. I do not think so.
What so amazing is that such alarming and racial calls find listing ears among the very poorest of poor within "White America" with people who have been left out of any economic and social development in the country and who are at the greatest risk when tornados hit their trailer homes and shacks in the South? These poor and left behind White are the core support of a racist Republican Party that in itself is the greatest threat not only to American but our democratic values. Let us not say the greatest threat to Western Civilization.
