America Extinguished: Mass Immigration and the Disintegration of American Culture, by Dr. Samuel Francis, addresses the topic of immigration with a candor and insight which are refreshing as they are rare in these times of politically correctness. The book, a collection of Francis' essays between 1998 and 2000, effectively makes the case that mass immigration threatens the very existence of our country.

Running through all of his arguments is the strength of simple common sense. Says Francis, "You cannot expect to switch populations and demographic majorities through massive immigration … as the United States has been doing now for some 30 years and not expect also to switch civilizations and symbols that represent them. You cannot expect millions of aliens from one civilization to enter the country, abandon all loyalties and values of their old civilization and sign up with all of those of the new one they have entered."

Immigration reform needs to happen, and happen soon. Clear logic must cut through the sentimentalism and shabby self-interest which defend the status quo. Dr. Francis provides that logic.

The Dark Side of Liberalism

by Phil Kent
201 pages, hardback, published by Harbor House 2003
Published at $24.95
Special Price $10.00 each
 
    The Dark Side of Liberalism, by Phil Kent, is an impressive analysis of the anti-American mindset of the radical left. Of particular interest of immigration reformers is the chapter covering immigration, and how radicals push mass immigration and open borders to destroy the country they have always hated.
    Of this book, former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr commented: “We are reminded that conservative values can carry the day, whether in the courts of law or the court of public opinion. The Dark Side of Liberalism powerfully reveals the truth behind the beguiling facade of liberalism’s world view.”

Erasing America - The Politics of the Borderless Nation

by Lawrence Auster
53 pages, paperback, published 2003
$2.00
 
    Erasing America by Lawrence Auster boldly states that multiculturalism and mass immigration are erasing America. The remaining question is just how far the process has gone. From this observation, Auster proceeds to ask why the erasure is happening.
    One answer, he proposes, is the flight from reality by American elites. Denying objective and transcendent truths, these elites maintain that truth is whatever they will it to be. With respect to immigration, they claim that America is a “propositional nation,” a floating abstraction with no particular real-world content. Thus, to them, it doesn’t matter how much immigration changes the country.
    Auster argues forcefully that the reality of a nation is not a vague set of ideas. Specifically, he maintains, America is an outgrowth of Western Civilization with a particular religious, cultural, linguistic and ethnic character. While all of these categories are flexible, we are now stretching them to the breaking point, which will be the loss of the nation.
    Those who deny America’s character, says Auster, dream of utopias where all cultures are equal and total tolerance prevails. Living in a world of self-will, they are totally intolerant of any who disagree, an attitude which bodes ill for our historic freedoms. All affinity toward traditional America, in their minds, is hate, bigotry and racism.
    Erasing America is most helpful in these times. It offers patriotic Americans the conceptual framework and moral confidence to defend their true heritage.

Immigration and the Public Health Crisis

by Robert Howard and Wayne Lutton
16 pages, paperback, published 2003
$1.00
 
    Illegal alien advocates say that borders don’t matter in a “globalized” world. Actually, globalization may make them matter all the more. One example is the increased mobility of disease brought about by increased movement of people around the globe.
    Since the days of Ellis Island, public health authorities have recognized the need to screen foreigners for disease who enter our county. Today, thanks to our wide open borders, many foreigners—healthy and unhealthy—enter the United States with no screening at all.
    Immigration and the Public Health Crisis by Robert Howard and Wayne Lutton document the threat to public health posed by illegal immigration, as well by some legal immigrants and visa holders. This threat, the authors stress, is not a future possibility. Imported diseases are afflicting Americans, and immigrants, legal and illegal, impose a growing cost on our health care system.
    The SARS epidemic of 2003 showed the potential of disease in the modern world to spread from country to country. Secure borders, Howard and Lutton argue effectively, are a vital defense.

Immigration: Wrong Answer for Social Security

by John Attarian
60 pages, paperback, published by American Immigration Control Press 2003
$4.00
 
    Many immigration advocates maintain that mass immigration is the solution to the crisis facing the Social Security system: a declining number of working people supporting a growing number of retirees. A leading advocate of this idea is Stephen Moore of the libertarian Cato Institute. Moore claims that his analysis of Social Security statistics confirms his view.
    Economist John Attarian strongly disagrees in his 60-page analysis, Immigration: Wrong Answer for Social Security. He came to his conclusions after a lengthy analysis of Moore's work which revealed a flawed grasp of key concepts and poor methodology.
    He notes that even if one takes Moore's figures at face value, they show that present immigration offers little in the way of reducing projected Social Security deficits. And the same applies, even if immigration increases significantly.
    Dr. Attarian goes on to point out that large numbers of immigrants will not help Social Security unless they have the skills and productivity to make a net financial contribution to society. But immigrants today, on average, are not skilled, and even if they were, Dr. Attarian notes, we could never amass the investment and capital necessary to give them the productivity to make any real dent in Social Security shortfalls.
    Finally, he observes, large-scale immigration is bringing on serious social complications, only one of which is whether huge, relatively-poor immigrant communities would be willing to pay taxes for the benefit of elderly native-born Americans.

The Open Borders Lobby and the Nation’s Security After 9/11

by William Hawkins and Erin Anderson
82 pages, paperback, published by the Center for the Study of Popular Culture 2004
$9.00 each
 
    The Open Borders Lobby and the Nation’s Security After 9/11 by William Hawkins and Erin Anderson is an excellent overview of the well-funded radical-left groups that promote mass immigration and open borders. Hawkins is known among immigration reformers for his previous work, Importing Revolution, which exposed the radical organizations, largely funded by the Ford Foundation, which have advocated immigration for the purpose of destabilizing American society. The Open Borders Lobby updates Hawkins’ previous research.
    Both he and Anderson make it clear that the disaster of 9/11 has in no way abated the radicals’ subversion. As David Horowitz observes in the foreword, “As Hawkins and Anderson show, the open borders campaign was already instrumental in damaging the nation’s ability to defend itself before 9/11. Yet not even this terrible event has caused the activists to have second thoughts, or tempered their reckless attacks.”

The Real Cost of President Bush’s Guest Worker Program

by Edwin S. Rubenstein and Robert. H. Goldsborough
13 pages, 8.5 X 11 whitepaper, published 2005
free .pdf download
hard copies $3.50 each
 
    Last year the Bush administration proposed a broad immigration-reform plan. The President’s proposal has three key components. First, it would give three-year, renewable work visas “to the millions of undocumented men and women now employed in the United States.” As many as 10 million illegal alien workers may be eligible for the visa. They, and their family members, constitute an illegal alien population as high as 20 million.
    Second, these visas would be available to persons now living abroad who have been offered employment by an American employer. As the White House put it, the plan would “match willing foreign workers with willing U.S. employers when no American can be found to fill the job.” The clear implication: Many American workers will face increased competition from foreign workers, reducing native incomes while increasing dependency on public benefit programs.
    Third, the program would expedite issuance of Green Cards for temporary workers, allowing more of them to become permanent citizens. In other words, to minimize the backlog that would inevitably occur when millions of illegals apply for guest worker visas, the Administration would facilitate their becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. In Mexico this is widely interpreted to mean that once Mexican citizens cross illegally into the U.S. they would be able to stay and eventually gain permanent residence.
