| Schlafly: Immigration Is Killing The American Family |
| 2014-10-27 |
| [DailyCaller] Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly has risen to the forefront in the immigration debate and strongly believes that America's increasing levels of immigration is not just bad for the economy, but also is harming the American family. At 90 years old, Schlafly shows no sign of stopping her advocacy of conservative ideas. Her latest book, "Who Killed The American Family?", addresses the various causes that, in her opinion, have hurt the family unit in the U.S. According to Schlafly, one of the most overlooked factors behind the death of the American family is mass immigration. "Death of the American family" is a goal of the advocates of a one party system. "I think it's [immigration] enormous," the conservative activist told The Daily Caller in reference to mass immigration's impact on the family. Schlafly has noticed a High illegitimacy rates are certainly not limited to Latin American immigrants. According to the author, this illegitimacy rate leads many to depend on the government for their needs, rather than the family. This makes for weak families in Schlafly's opinion and diminishes the core values that underlie America. "Leads many"...? Yes, by some estimates 45 million food stamp recipients. I suppose 45 million might qualify as "many." "When a woman has children without a husband to provide for her, she runs to 'Big Brother' government to support her," she insisted. "There are people who think that they will profit by giving us big government to run our lives. That's not the American way. That's not what we wanted. When we started out, we were a country of intact families and we expanded to build the greatest middle-class in the world — prosperous and happy." "Happy"....Now we have the pill and Planned Parenthood services. We reduce birth and repopulation rates and increase immigration among people who do not practice birth control. What could possibly go wrong ? "That seems to be gone now." Schlafly gets it, but she always has. Ninety years of American perspective should not be ignored. |

| #3 While working in the Reston, VA area, I was at first amazed at the number of Western Union counters located next to grocery store check-out lanes. I was soon to learn that the EBT card was for the check-out lane. USD's went to the Western Union queue. What a wonderful system. |

| #2 Very often if the situation is explored more deeply, it will be discovered that the man has a perfectly legal wife and children back home, which is why he has no interest in marrying any of his baby-mamas up here. |

| #1 Plantation owners in the old South didn't become wealthy hiring middle-class Americans. Just a thought in passing. |
