Illegal Immigration Propaganda at the L.A. Times

By Nicholas Stix

I just sent the following letter to the L.A. Times (letters@latimes.com), regarding a piece of anti-American, pro-illegal immigrant propaganda it published on Saturday, by tenured alleged demographer, William Frey, of the University of Michigan and the Brookings Institution.

To the Editor:

Demographer William Frey opens his paean to unlimited illegal immigration (“A Country of Newcomers,” October 8) by claiming that “NEARLY 30 years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson stood before the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Clock to proclaim the arrival of the 200-millionth American.”

“Nearly 30 years ago” (1977?), Pres. Johnson (1908-1973) had been out of office for eight years, and dead and buried for four. So much for history.

And in a veiled embrace of illegal immigrants and a transparently racist attack on white Americans, Frey misrepresents the costs and benefits of “immigration.” He dishonestly claims that the new immigrants want to learn English, and will support baby boomers via social security, neither of which is true, and dishonestly discounts well-founded opposition to illegal immigrants, who are already destroying entire regions’ health care systems, and taking jobs from working-class blacks and whites as the stuff of racist “white fright.” So much for demographics.

Lies are no basis for “a more rational discussion.”

Sincerely,

Nicholas Stix
