It’s Your Civic Duty To Reject The ‘Nation Of Immigrants’ Propaganda You Learned In School:

It’s Americans’ ‘duty to prevent any new citizens from coming in until the health of the Republic can be restored and those new citizens can be properly assimilated,’ Glenn Ellmers told The Federalist.

America is not a “nation of immigrants,” and never has been, but there has been a generations-long effort to make Americans feel a false sense of camaraderie with culturally unrecognizable people from all over the globe.

Every generation for the past century-plus has been told the same thing: The United States exists to save the entire world’s less well-to-do by bringing them here and allowing them to experience the American Dream.

It was an argument made by politicians and members of the media, to be sure, but government schools made sure to “mold young minds” into believing the nonsense as well.

It was actually an easy argument to make, so long as there was not a deep dive into the historical evidence. The Germans, Irish, and Italians had all, more or less, assimilated quickly into American culture. It seemed there really was something in the water, and anyone who could take a sip might become as American as anyone whose family helped found the country.

There is something in the water, to be sure, but it is not a secret sauce — it does not work like that. It only exists because generations of Christian Americans from Anglo-European descent built it, maintained it, and created a highly successful, high-trust society meant to be handed down to their kinfolk.

To the extent that it was to be shared with foreigners, the recipients of such a privilege would have to prove themselves worthy of it, and not just at the outset to gain entry, but in perpetuity as a way to continually prove their worth to the people who allowed them to be there.

“Allowing people to become new citizens is a two way agreement, and the part that everyone leaves out is the existing members of the social compact have a right to decide who they want to admit as citizens,” Glenn Ellmers, Salvatori Research Fellow in the American Founding at the Claremont Institute, told The Federalist. “They can exclude anyone they want for any reason, and that sounds kind of harsh and arbitrary, but that’s social compact, because admitting new citizens is only done on the basis of, ‘Will they add to the common good in the country?’ … becoming an American citizen is not a right.”

Why do so many now not understand that? Why is the United States the repository for all the world’s least successful, often violent, often untrustworthy individuals?

Flashback to August 2017, when former CNN White House correspondent and serial liar Jim Acosta attempted to make the argument that Emma Lazarus’ “The New Colossus,” the famous poem on the side of the Statue of Liberty, should be the guiding light of any administration’s immigration policies.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” he quoted to then-White House senior advisor Stephen Miller, arguing against a bill that would change how immigrants get permanent residency, prioritizing those who speak English and have skills.

Miller rightly pointed out that a poem on the Statue of Liberty does not dictate America’s immigration policies, adding, “I don’t want to get off into a whole thing about history here, but the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of liberty enlightening the world — is a symbol of American liberty lighting the world. … The poem that you’re referring to was added later, is not actually a part of the original Statue of Liberty.”

Take Acosta’s reputation as a lying tool of the left out of the equation for a moment: The reality is he probably genuinely believes this, because he was told to believe it from a very young age.

The most potent government resource for propaganda is public school. It is a place where children go to “learn,” ostensibly, about a wide variety of things, but perhaps most importantly, American history and civic duty, for the purposes of creating a foundation for stewarding the United States for future generations.

The broader American public, including most conservatives, only started noticing the propaganda relatively recently in the form of transgender or critical race theory being taught to Gen Z students.

But most of those Americans have not questioned the lies that they were told in school. --->READ MORE HERE
