CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 1, 2018
THERE WAS A SOBERING STORY IN YESTERDAY’S WASHINGTON POST. IT WAS ABOUT A CHICKEN PLANT IN FEDERICKSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA WHERE ALL BUT ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES ARE SPANISH AND SPOKE NO ENGLISH. THE ONE EMPLOYEE, WHO IS WHITE AND FEMALE, SPOKE NO SPANISH. IT WAS ABOUT WHITES BECOMING A MINORITY IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AND WHAT THEY MIGHT SOON FACE.
THE REAL STORY, THOUGH, ISN’T ABOUT RACE. IT’S ABOUT A FAILURE TO CONTROL OUR BORDERS AND A FAILURE TO ASSIMILATE IMMIGRANTS IN A SLOW AND STEADY FASHION.
THERE WAS THE PREDICTABLE ANGLE OF WHITES WHO FEEL THREATENED BECOMING MORE CONSERVATIVE, BUT EVEN THAT ISN’T THE REAL ISSUE.
LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN EUROPE. NO NATION CAN SURVIVE IF IT LOSES ITS SENSE OF MEANING AND FORFEITS ITS IDENTITY TO IMMIGRANTS WHO THEN EXPECT THE NATIVE BORN TO ADAPT TO THEM, RATHER THAN THE REVERSE. HISTORY PROVES IT.
I OFTEN MAKE THIS ANALOGY. IF YOU FILL A GLASS WITH MILK AND BEGIN POURING ANOTHER LIQUID INTO THE GLASS AND IF YOU POUR LONG ENOUGH, THE MILK WILL FIRST BE DILUTED AND THEN REPLACED.
THINK ON THAT AND THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
