I’m going to give you some quotes and you tell me who said them. Your choices are:
A. Pat Buchanan (author and former candidate for President)
B. Robert Spencer (Jihad Watch)
C. Congressman Tom Tancredo
D. Mark Steyn (Columnist and author)
E. Yale Law (where Bill and Hillary met) professor, Amy Chua, daughter of immigrants
…..are all immigrants really equally likely to make good Americans? A, B, C, D, E
Around the world today, nations face violence and instability as a result of their increasing pluralism and diversity. Across Europe, immigration has resulted in unassimilated, largely Muslim enclaves that are hotbeds of unrest and even terrorism. The riots in France last month were just the latest manifestation. With Muslims poised to become a majority in Amsterdam and elsewhere within a decade, major West European cities could undergo a profound transformation. A, B, C, D, E
The greatest empire in history, ancient Rome, collapsed when its cultural and political glue dissolved, and peoples who had long thought of themselves as Romans turned against the empire. In part, this fragmentation occurred because of a massive influx of immigrants from a very different culture. A, B, C, D, E
America’s glue can be subverted by too much tolerance. Immigration advocates are too often guilty of an uncritical political correctness that avoids hard questions about national identity and imposes no obligations on immigrants. A, B, C, D, E
…..the special preference for family members should be drastically reduced. A, B, C, D, E
…..more stringent English proficiency requirements for citizenship should be set up. A, B, C, D, E
It’s up to each immigrant community to fight off an enclave mentality and give back to their new country. A, B, C, D, E
Illegal immigration, along with terrorism, is the chief cause of today’s anti-immigration backlash. A, B, C, D, E
Immigrants who turn their backs on American values don’t deserve to be here. A, B, C, D, E
By now, I think you know what answer I’m looking for. If you said E for each statement above you would have an A on this quiz. When I read this Opinion piece in Sunday’s Washington Post I was incredulous. The first thing that came to my mind was the Post would never in a million years have published this prominently on the front page of the opinion section if it had been written by A, B, C, or D above, but a Chinese woman Yale Law Professor makes it O.K.
My second thought was for Professor Amy Chau and the hell she is going to get for being so truthful (and politically incorrect).
