It wasn’t so long ago, the Washington D.C. creatures
tried to shove amnesty down our throats.
The American people stood up and shamed those politicians who dared to
reward a group of people who have demonstrated their disregard for our laws and
sovereignty.
A decade hasn’t passed, and the same people are at it
again. One vociferous advocate for
amnesty is the Chamber of Commerce. President
and CEO, Tom Donohue, held a press conference demanding our elected officials
do something to legitimize these illegal alien diasporas. Here is the video.
A while back, I read Samuel P. Huntington’s book: Who Are We?
The Challenges to America’s National Identity. In it
he addressed the motives and aspirations of transnational elites, whom have no
allegiance to a nation state. They see themselves
as global citizens. Here is an excerpt:
Economic transnationals are the nucleus of an
emerging global superclass. “As debates
about global economic integration rage on, at least one of its effects has
become clear,” the Global Business Policy Council asserts. “The rewards of an increasingly integrated
global economy have brought forth new global elite. Labeled ‘Davos Men,’ ‘gold –collar workers’
or … ‘cosmocrats,’ this emerging class is empowered by new notions of global
connectedness. It includes academics,
international civil servants, and executives in global companies, as well as
successful high-technology entrepreneurs.”
Estimated to number about 20 million in 2000, of whom 40 percent were
American, this elite is expected to double in size by 2010. Less than 4 percent of the American people,
these transnationals have little need for national loyalty, view national
boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national
governments as residues from the past whose only useful function now is to
facilitate the elite’s global operations.
In the coming years, one corporate executive confidently predicted, “the
only people who will care about national boundaries are politicians.”
Isn’t it interesting that Professor Huntington
mentions “Davos Men”? One of the biggest
advocates for amnesty in the U.S. Senate is Senator John McCain. Here he is with George Soros at the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Transnationalism is being taught at our colleges and
universities. Here is another excerpt,
this time demonstrating academia’s role in undermining our sovereignty:
Professor Martha Nussbaum of the University of
Chicago denounced emphasis on “patriotic pride” as “morally dangerous,” urged
the ethical superiority of cosmopolitanism over patriotism, and argued that
people should direct their “allegiance” to the “world community of human
beings.” Professor Amy Gutmann of
Princeton argued that it was “repugnant” for American students to learn that they
are, “above all, citizens of the United States or to some other politically
sovereign community,” but to “democratic humanism.” Professor Richard Sennett of New York
University denounced “the evil of a shared national identity” and judged the
erosion of national sovereignty “basically a positive phenomenon.” Professor George Lipsitz of the University of
California, San Diego, argued that “in recent years refuge in patriotism has
been the first resort of scoundrels of all sorts.” Professor Cecilia O’Leary of American
University saw the articulation of American patriotism as right-wing,
militaristic, male, white, Anglo, and repressive. Professor Betty Jean Craige of the University
of Georgia also attacked patriotism because of its association with military
prowess. Professor Peter Spiro of
Hofstra University approvingly concluded that it is “increasingly difficult to
use the word “we” in the context of international affairs.” In the past people used the word “we” with
reference to the nation-state, but now affiliation with the nation-state “no
longer necessarily defines the interest or even allegiance of the individual at
the international level.”
Transnationalists view our notions of citizenship
and national sovereignty as antiquated and puerile. They have as much regard for Americans as the
20 million illegals who have invaded our country.
