-Caveat Lector- US immigration reform: immigration time-out http://www.projectusa.org/ Truthmobile and immigration dissent in Iowa http://projectusa.org/States/IA/iowa-immigration.html#truthmobile Issue 69: April 16, 2001 +== TIME OUT PROJECT ==+ Last year, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsak made national news by suggesting his state exempt itself from federal limits on mass immigration and turn Iowa into another Ellis Island. A condition exists in Iowa in which some businesses are reluctant to pay wages high enough to attract American workers. The governor calls this condition a "labor shortage," and openly cites it as justification for importing hundreds of thousands of cheap foreign laborers. Iowans, however, were less than enthusiastic about the governor's proposal; many are not happy with a plan that would lower wages even more in a state where wages are already so low (the "labor shortage" notwithstanding) relative to other parts of the country that Iowa has a difficult time retaining its native-born youth. Nevertheless, in spite of polls showing most Iowans oppose mass immigration, the governor pushes forward with his scheme. In response, concerned Iowans and the ProjectUSA "Truthmobile," a huge red billboard on wheels that advertises the Census Bureau statistic: "Immigration will double U.S. population in your child's lifetime," have been showing up at pro-mass immigration venues around Iowa -- with great results. For pictures and the complete story, see: http://projectusa.org/States/IA/iowa-immigration.html +== TAKE POSITIVE ACTION ==+ In the August 6, 2000 issue of this ezine, we wrote, "If nothing else, the Republican Convention demonstrated that the Republicans have decided to drop all attempts at ethnic impartiality; they have joined the Democrats in overt diversity pandering. In other words, the Republicans have decided to 'go PC.' "We regard this as a positive development, for it is a sure sign that political correctness is on its way out. If there is one thing for which Republicans can be counted on, it is to be always behind the curve on such matters as the 'currents and tides of public opinion.'" It is practically the definition of "conservative." Sure enough. On April 6, the following appeared in the Washington Post: "Stories increasingly abandon the uncritical celebration of "diversity" for a more realistic assessment that immigration also brings new social problems and tensions." The "celebrate diversity" dogma is already going the way of McCarthyism and Marx -- with huge implications for the immigration debate. But, out in Iowa, the Des Moines Register continues to beat the retro diversity drum, printing another pro-mass immigration editorial on April 9 called "Just a bunch of immigrants," which contained the following quote: "And remember that diversity and ethnic heritage should be viewed as our nation's eclectic strength, not a divisive hindrance." (http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c5917686/14025474.html ) You can contact the Des Moines Register and remind it that advocating mass immigration for racial reasons and opposing it for racial reasons are two sides of the same coin.

William H Rehnquist, Associate Justice, US Supreme Court +== E-MAIL OF THE WEEK ==+ Dear ProjectUSA, I attended a conference on immigration at Simpson College (Iowa) today. A sign that was provided by ProjectUSA was displayed in the parking lot so all could see. Several of the people that brought the sign to Indianola were interviewed by a TV station reporter. We were not made to look hostile, in fact I thought we looked pretty good. The reporter made the statement that I gave her, in that we were not against immigrants, but against the Federal and State immigration policies. All in all, I thought that the day worked out pretty well. I believe the Truthmobile excursion was worthwhile and successful.
