Immigration, Discrimination & Race-Based Caucus In Congress

A key element of the new immigration law that is being debated is putting policy back into immigration. This means that new applicants will be judged primarily on their skills that fit with U.S. needs and also their education. This is a dramatic shift from " family-based " immigration. This allowed immigration based simply of a family connection to a U.S. citizen.

I think this still leaves the jury out on whether America's experiment with multiculturism will work or endure. At last look, there are over 123 members of Congress that are members of race-based caucuses. They include 43 members of the Jewish Caucus, 43 members of the Black Caucus and 37 members of the Hispanic Caucus. Thst's roughly 1/4 of the Congress that has declared itself due for special treatment.

The Jewish Caucus stands out in it's outsized representation of a race. Their number include 13% or 13 Senators in that body. This compares with their meager 2% of U.S. population. One can see how America's dangerous and extravagant support of Israel springs from these Israel-first Senators and the support of the race-based lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The Black Caucus is pushing for a formal U.S. apology and reparations for slavery. Yet Africans want to come to America freely in greater numbers than the slave era of the 17th century. They are lucky they are here.The Hispanic Caucus pushes for amnesty and relaxed immigration standards for the largely 12 million illegal Hispanics now in this country. Is this the way to honor the prized American citizenship?

All these caucuses practice race-based discrimination. They don't want to fit in. And why should they? Special interests politics in America have done very well by making a point of purposely not fitting in. These caucuses deserve to be treated with the same animosity that they hold towards the rest of America.
