Default Jews Control Immigration Policy, Promote Open Borders to Destroy White Nations

Leo McKinstry is a brilliant and courageous Northern Irish journalist who cares for the indigenous people of the Britsh Isles to an unusual extent.

On 8 September 2008, his essay, Common Sense Says We Must Call a Halt to Mass Immigration was published in The Daily Express.

What follows is, perhaps, the most powerfully accurate description of the state of play in our country ever seen in a mainstream newspaper:

Quote:
LABOUR'S POLICY ON IMMIGRATION HAS BEEN A WRECKING BALL AT THE HEART OF OUR SOCIETY.

OUR BORDERS AND IDENTITY HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. The fabric of our towns and cities has been transformed.

A ONCE HOMOGENOUS, GENTLE, COHESIVE NATION HAS BEEN CHANGED INTO AN OVERCROWDED LANDMASS FULL OF CONFLICTING ETHNIC GROUPS. THANKS TO 11 YEARS OF DESTRUCTIVE RULE UNDER BROWN AND BLAIR, BRITAIN IS BECOMING A PLACE WITHOUT SOUL OR SENSE OF MUTUAL BELONGING.

For too long, THE POLITICAL CLASSES HAVE COLLUDED IN THE GOVERNMENT’S DETERMINATION TO WIPE OUT OUR NATIONHOOD.

Fearful of accusations of ‘racism’, THEY HAVE JOINED IN THE OFFICIAL PANTOMIME CALLED ‘CELEBRATING CULTURAL DIVERSITY’, THE PROCESS BY WHICH BRITONS ARE MEANT TO EXPRESS JOY AT THE RUINATION OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY…

The Government should impose a strict limit on the annual number of migrants in future. Given the current scale, such a step could hardly be more necessary, with about 600,000 people arriving here every year. But the Government has no intention of introducing tough restrictions.

This is because THE TOP RANKS OF THE LABOUR PARTY ARE DOMINATED BY SOCIALIST IDEOLOGUES WHO DESPISE BRITAIN AND ITS PAST. THEY SEE IMMIGRATION AS A VITAL TOOL IN THEIR PROJECT TO REFASHION OUR SOCIETY, WIPING OUT THE OLD STRUCTURE AND REPLACING IT WITH A NEW MULTICULTURAL ENTITY.

If Labour wanted to stem the tide of immigration it would have done so years ago. After all, other European countries have demonstrated the requisite toughness. Italy has sent in troops to deal with immigrants, while even socialist Spain has introduced drastic new restrictions on visas. But Labour does not even want to try.

The flood of immigrants will therefore only intensify, swelled by such disastrous moves as the secret plan drawn up by the Home Office to grant an amnesty to illegal immigrants living here, a group whose number could be as high as one million. Such a step will only encourage yet more illegal immigration by signalling that Gordon Brown’s state machine has lost control of our borders.

Even if there were some new curbs, it would be too late for THE DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE TO THE FABRIC OF OUR NATION. The Government’s eager embrace of mass immigration has left Britain in upheaval. MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE BABIES BORN HERE ARE TO MIGRANT MOTHERS, WITH THE FIGURE REACHING ALMOST 60 PER CENT IN LONDON.

In many of our big cities, the indigenous population will be in the minority before 2020. Meanwhile, 400,000 BRITONS ARE LEAVING THE COUNTRY EVERY YEAR, ACCELERATING THE PROCESS OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE.

To the social revolutionaries, these statistics are only to be welcomed.

‘BRITAIN IS MORE RACIALLY DIVERSE THAN EVER WHICH IS BRILLIANT,’ says Ratna Dutt of the Race Equality Foundation. But FOR ANYONE WHO TRULY LOVES BRITAIN, THE FIGURES REPRESENT THE SLOW DEATH OF A NATION.

THERE IS NOTHING ‘BRILLIANT’ ABOUT THE CULTURAL CHAOS WHICH MASS IMMIGRATION HAS BROUGHT.

Economically, our public services are under intolerable strain. Contrary to what ministers claim with their prattle about the economic benefits of migration, THE TIDAL WAVE OF NEWCOMERS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A HUGE BURDEN ON THE TAXPAYER, PARTICULARLY SINCE MIGRANTS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY AS THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION TO BE UNEMPLOYED OR CLAIMING BENEFITS.

Furthermore, MASS IMMIGRATION HAS BROUGHT A SHOCKING RISE IN CRIME, FAMILY BREAKDOWN, DRUG ABUSE AND GANGLAND VIOLENCE. BEFORE THE IMPORTATION OF LARGE NUMBERS FROM THE THIRD WORLD, OUR INNER CITY STREETS WERE NOT AWASH WITH BLOOD FROM TEENAGE STABBINGS AND SHOOTINGS.

Similarly, the rapid Islamification of our land has not only transformed our urban landscape, with the mosque replacing the traditional Christian church, but has also led to the spread of superstition, misogyny and the breakdown in the principle of equality before the law, as sharia law increasingly prevails in Muslim areas.

Above all, MASS IMMIGRATION HAS POISONED CIVIC LIFE IN BRITAIN BECAUSE EVERY PUBLIC POLICY IS NOW SEEN THROUGH THE PRISM OF RACE. As a result, we have a climate of permanent division and distrust between ethnic groups, EACH OF THEM HYPING THEIR GRIEVANCES AND BLAMING SUPPOSED DISCRIMINATION FOR ANY OF THEIR FAILINGS.

TOO MANY OF OUR STATE SERVICES ARE NOW PARALYSED BY THIS FIXATION WITH RACISM, WHERE MORE CONCERN IS SHOWN OVER THE ETHNIC COMPOSITION OF THEIR WORKFORCES THAN WITH MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC.

The current turmoil at the top of the Metropolitan Police, where the assistant commissioner Tariq Ghaffur has brought charges of racism against his boss Sir Ian Blair, is a classic example of this trend.

AT THE SAME TIME, ORDINARY BRITONS ARE VILIFIED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR INSTINCTIVE LOVE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND TOLD THAT THEIR FEARS OVER IMMIGRATION ARE NOTHING BUT XENOPHOBIA.

THE WISH TO DESTROY ONE’S COUNTRY USED TO BE DESCRIBED AS TREACHERY.

TRAGICALLY FOR BRITAIN, IT IS NOW SIMPLY LABOUR POLICY.
British Nationalists have been trying to tell their kinfolk what Leo McKinstry is daring to tell them now for more than seventy years.

I wonder if the British people will be more inclined to believe us now that the same message is being published in the mainstream media.

It is, perhaps, interesting to note that, despite The Daily Express's readiness to publish Mr McKinstry's brilliantly penetrating indictment of New Labour treachery, I have been banned from commenting in this newspaper's Have Your Say section on three seperate occasions, using three different pseudonyms.

Each time I was sin-binned for the same reason.

I was critical of Jewish behaviour.

The owner of The Daily Express must be complimented for allowing such material as that seen above into the public domain. However, the fact that Richard Desmond's Express censors are not prepared to abandon the PC status quo, when it is the boss's own tribe whose shortcomings are under scrutiny, suggests, perhaps, that the traitorous behaviour of some is rather more equal than that of certain others.

A little of the commentary that I was allowed to enter into The Express's web site can be seen here:

If you wish to check out more of this kind of thing, type Ironwand and "Daily Express" into Google and see what comes up.

Here are the kind of responses that were NOT allowed into the Have Your Say pages of The Daily Express:

People just don't understand what a nation is anymore even when it's staring them plainly in the face. Whites are Americans everybody else is a foreigner living in the Americans country. (that's why they get prefixes The people ARE the nation). God I HATE public education. Furthermore I do not understand how people can view the socialists opinions as law as if it's evil not to have foreigners living in a nation. It's just their subjective opinion when it boils right down to it. There is no right or wrong in nature only survival. The bible is our only guide. It's the Tower of Bable all over again. We must make it stop before we are all destroyed due to our own stupidity all while the evil zionists and socialists laugh away. The more nations the feds try to crowd together the worse it's going to get less and the less peaceful. The nature of life is unlimited competition not the unbending rule of a Jewish oligarchy.

jewsign Multiculturalism: The Agenda of Organized Jewry

"For over 100 years now, Jews in America have been promoting multiculturalism as a strategy for weakening the dominant culture and thereby enhancing Jewish power."

by E.Michael Jones
quote

Associating multiculturalism with Islam is a daring rhetorical move, especially when that rhetorical move is made by a Jew, because Dorothy Rabinowitz must know, even if the dumb goyim who read her columns in the Wall Street Journal do not, that multiculturalism has been a completely Jewish creation from start to finish. For over 100 years now, Jews in America have been promoting multiculturalism as a strategy for weakening the dominant culture and thereby enhancing Jewish power.

In his essay, "Jewish Involvement in Shaping American Immigration policy, 1881-1965: A Historical Review," University of California at Long Beach Professor Kevin MacDonald shows in exhaustive detail how Jewish organizations supported multiculturalism almost from the moment when eastern European Jews arrived in significant numbers on these shores.

According to MacDonald, the "historical record supports the proposition that making the US into a multicultural society has been a major goal of organized Jewry beginning in the 19th century."

The main way in which Jews promoted multiculturalism is by changing this nation's immigration laws.

"Jews," according to MacDonald, "have been 'the single most persistent pressure group favoring a liberal immigration policy' in the US in the entire immigration debate beginning in 1881."


MacDonald goes on to cite one Jewish authority after another to back up his case. According to [Sheldon M] Neuringer: "Immigration had constituted a prime object of concern for practically every major Jewish defense and community relations organization. Over the years their spokesmen had assiduously attended congressional hearings and the Jewish effort was of the utmost importance in establishing and financing such nonsectarian groups as the National Liberal Immigration League and the Citizens Committee for Displaced Persons."

According to Nathan C. Belth: "In Congress, through all the years when the immigration battles were being fought, the names of Jewish legislators were in the forefront of the liberal forces: from Adolph Sabath to Samuel Dickstein and Emanuel Celler in the House and from Herbert H. Lehman to Jacob Javits in the Senate. Each in this time was leader of the ADL and of major organizations concerned with democratic development."

The Jewish promotion of multiculturalism in America had two main goals:

1) "maximizing the number of Jewish immigrants" and

2) "opening up the US to immigration from all of the peoples of the world." Both goals paradoxically used "diversity" as a stalking horse to advance Jewish ethnocentrism. The whole point of multiculturalism is not so much the promotion of diversity as it is the demographic dilution of homogeneity.

Representative Leavitt saw through the diversity ploy when he complained that the Jews were "the one great historic people who have maintained the identity of their race throughout centuries because they believe sincerely that they are a chosen people, with certain ideals to maintain, and knowing that the loss of racial identity means a change of ideals."

The purpose of multiculturalism has always been to subvert coherent cultures, weaken the majority, and thereby enhance the Jews' power.

Or, as MacDonald puts it,

"Ethnic and religious pluralism serves external Jewish interest because Jews become just one of many ethnic groups. This results in the diffusion of political and cultural influence among the various ethnic and religious groups, and it becomes difficult or impossible to develop unified, cohesive groups of gentiles united in their opposition to Judaism. Historically, major anti-Semitic movements have tended to erupt in societies that have been, apart from the Jews, religiously and/or ethnically homogeneous."

The early opponents of multiculturalism also feared Jews as agents of cultural subversion: "Our whole system of amusements has been taken over by men who came here on the crest of the south and east European immigration. They produce our horrible film stories; they compose and dish out to us our jazz music, they write many of the books we read, and edit our magazines and newspapers."

Jewish immigrants were also "widely perceived to be ... disproportionately involved in radical political movements," a fact often acknowledged by the Jewish press. In one of its editorials, The American Hebrew pointed out that "we must not forget the immigrants form Russia and Austria will becoming from countries infested with Bolshevism, and it will require more than a superficial effort to make good citizens out of them."

The fact that Jewish immigrants form Eastern Europe were viewed as "infected with Bolshevism. . . unpatriotic, alien, unassimilable" resulted in a wave of anti-Semitism in the 1920s and contributed to the restrictive immigration legislation of the period. Almost a decade after the immigration debate ended with the triumph of the restrictionists in 1924, Jewish immigration was still having consequences for American identity. As MacDonald points out, "In Philadelphia in the 1930s, fully 72.2 percent of the Communist Party members were the children of Jewish immigrants who came to the US in the late 19th and early 20th century."

jewsign CA Senator Feinstein Uses Private Bills to Block Deportations

By Michael Doyle
WASHINGTON – Nayely Arreola was a high school junior when a U.S. senator first protected her from deportation. The year: 2003.

Nayely is now 25, newly married and a graduate of Fresno Pacific University. She and her family still remain protected, thanks to special bills that need not pass to exert influence.

"Perhaps the greatest hardship to this family, if forced to return to Mexico, will be (Nayely's) lost opportunity to realize her dreams and further contribute to her community and this country," Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein declared.

As she has regularly since 2003, Feinstein in March re-introduced a so-called private bill on behalf of the Arreola family. It effectively blocks deportation, even without final approval from Congress.

Private bills, controversial in some circles, have become a part of Feinstein's arsenal.

Feinstein this year has introduced 13 private bills to block deportations, more than any other member of Congress. Her private bills account for one-fifth of the 64 introduced in the entire House and Senate, records show.

Each bill would grant specific individuals legal U.S. residency. To balance the immigration books, each bill correspondingly reduces the number of visas available to others. All told, Feinstein's 13 bills would grant 28 illegal immigrants U.S. residency.

Once introduced, the bills essentially freeze immigration enforcement actions. Consequently, the private bills reintroduced every Congress amount to permanent ad hoc solutions.

Nayely Arreola Carlos, as she is now known, works as an admissions counselor at Fresno Pacific while she's studying for a master's in business administration. The private bills, she said, have opened opportunities, including her undergraduate scholarship.

Nayely's father, Esidronio, first entered the United States illegally in 1986 as a migrant farmworker. Feinstein said "poor legal representation" by a subsequently disbarred attorney cost Esidronio and his wife, Maria Elena, a conventional shot at legal residency.

Even under the private bill shield, though, Nayely acknowledged anxiety. Every year, her family is reinvestigated. The future brings uncertainty.

"Not knowing what happens if Senator Feinstein is no longer in office," Nayely said, describing her big looming concern.

Fresno truck driver Ruben Mkoian and his family have likewise stayed in the United States with the help of private bills repeatedly introduced by Feinstein. So have a San Bruno couple from Laos and Taiwan, a Pacifica resident from the Philippines and a Reedley family originally from Mexico, among others.

Critics call the private bills a bad habit. In the past, some private bills in particular have given lawmakers a black eye.

Last year, reflecting in part the congressional discomfort, only two private bills were signed into law. One was Feinstein's. In 2009, no private bill became law.

"Private bills should only be used for very extraordinary circumstances, not just because someone is a good student," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

While acknowledging that "there is a potential role" for rare private bills, Krikorian warned that "the danger is that they become a goodie you can give to friends and supporters."

Gregory Chen, advocacy director for the American Immigration Lawyers Association, added that private bills require "particularly compelling circumstances." Different people can have different ideas of what qualifies, he stressed.

Last week, noting that "California is a state of 38 million residents," Feinstein said she has introduced private bills "on rare occasions … for cases that were compelling, for one reason or another."

Private immigration bills were once common, with hundreds passing annually. The Congressional Research Service noted private bills began to decline after the 1970s following "a series of corruption scandals … involving payoffs for the sponsorship of private immigration laws."

When she introduces them, Feinstein casts the private bills as justice for families filled with high achievers and hard workers.

Ruben Mkoian, for instance, was a police officer in Armenia who was reportedly attacked when he blew the whistle on corruption. He, his wife, Asmik Karapetian, and their 3-year-old son, Arthur, fled to the United States in the early 1990s but eventually were denied political asylum.

Arthur is now a junior at the University of California, Davis, studying chemistry.

"The Mkoians have worked hard to build a place for their family in California," Feinstein said.

In a similar vein, Feinstein in 2004 first introduced a private bill to aid the family of Ana Laura Buendia, a straight-A student at Reedley High School. Later this year, still protected by the latest private bill, Ana Laura will graduate from the University of California, Irvine.

"The Buendias," Feinstein said, "have shown that they are committed to working to achieve the American dream."

Jews have long promoted for us what they refuse for Israel, namely liberal immigration laws. Why do they not want it for Israel? Because they know that Jews will be outnumbered and risk being done away with as a people. They openly state this. They then turn around and want the same destructive policies implemented in white countries? Why else would they do this than as a tactic in anti-white racial warfare? What other reason could there be than that they want to be rid of us?

From the original LA Times article, quoting former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm complaining about the anonymous donor and his agenda:

"Is this foreign money? Is it money that comes with special obligations? I would want to know I'm not running a laundry or being a front group for an entity that doesn't have the best interests of the United States at heart," said former Colorado Gov. David Lamm.

She Wrote a Nation’s Welcome


Emma Lazarus: Poet of Exiles at the Museum of Jewish Heritage includes “Liberty Menorah.”

By EDWARD ROTHSTEIN
Published: January 3, 2012

Even if Emma Lazarus’s poem “The New Colossus” had not transformed the gargantuan Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor from an aggressive monument — “Liberty Enlightening the World” — into a welcoming “Mother of Exiles”; even if she had not provided that crowned goddess with a humane voice that still resonates (“Give me your tired, your poor”); even if she had not asserted a powerful connection between liberty and opportunity, the exhibition “Emma Lazarus: Poet of Exiles” at the Museum of Jewish Heritage demonstrates that there would still be reasons to value her life and work.

Emma Lazarus is mostly known for her Statue of Liberty poem, but the exhibition at the Museum of Jewish Heritage shows how her life led her to those words.

In fact, so many illuminating sparks are set off by this show, mounted in celebration of the statue’s 125th anniversary, that its closing section about Lady Liberty comes as an anticlimax. There we learn that Lazarus’s poem was written in 1883 to help raise money for the American-built pedestal on which Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi’s statue — a gift from France — would stand. And though the poem is now the main way Lazarus is remembered, “The New Colossus” was not even cited in the obituaries after she died in 1887 at 38.

The poem was mounted on the statue only in 1903, after lobbying by influential friends. And it didn’t become popularly associated with it until after the 1920s, a decade when many restrictions were put on how many “tempest-tost” souls should be annually admitted.

Yes, perhaps some aspects of that poem have become clichéd. In a short film made for the exhibition, there is a curiously grudging aspect to the credit some contemporary writers and historians are prepared to grant America as a place of refuge. Nevertheless, lives are still risked, resources still scrounged and journeys here still undertaken. An average of more than a million people a year were granted permanent resident status in the United States in the decade ending in 2010, more than in any other comparable period in American history. And this does not count the estimated four million illegal immigrants that arrived during the same period.

What does this have to do with that statue? Absolutely nothing. It was conceived as a commemoration of liberty in honor of the nation’s centennial. It was a mythological declaration of outward-bound triumph, not inward-bound migration. As the show points out, its design was based on a lighthouse that the sculptor had imagined for the Suez Canal, called “Progress: Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia.” Immigration had nothing to do it.

That is how remarkable Lazarus’s reinvention of the statue was. But where did her ideas come from? She was not an immigrant; she was a fourth-generation American. And she was not among the huddled masses: her family was among New York’s “upper 10,000,” the city’s wealthiest and most established.

Her immediate family was also hardly renowned for its liberality; while relatives contributed to the Union cause during the Civil War, her parents did not. Her father owned a sugar-refining business; his partner, Bradish Johnson, held slaves on a Louisiana sugar plantation and did not have a reputation for kindness.

But in “Poet of Exiles,” whose curator is Melissa Martens, the museum’s director of collections and exhibitions, we come to see the origins of Lazarus’s distinctive talents, while also tracing how her vision of the American ideal evolved. The show’s main flaw is that it can be too condensed. As a supplement, Esther Schor’s 2006 biography, “Emma Lazarus,” is invaluable (and Bette Roth Young’s groundbreaking study and other collections of poems and writings fill out a fascinating portrait).

Lazarus’s roots were in elite Sephardic Jewish families who were leaders of the first synagogues established in New York, Philadelphia and Newport, R.I. Moses Mendes Seixas, Lazarus’s great-great uncle, welcomed President George Washington to the Newport congregation Jeshuat Israel in 1790 and presented him with a floridly written letter, on display here, praising a government “which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” Those words were used almost verbatim by Washington in his response, one of the nation’s first affirmations of religious liberty.

Lazarus’s great-grandmother Grace Mendes Seixas Nathan is represented here by a notebook of 19 poems, from about 1830, demonstrating a talent not unrelated to Lazarus’s own. And her cousins included Associate Justice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo of the Supreme Court and Annie Nathan Meyer, a founder of Barnard College. Lazarus, born in New York City in 1849, must have been able to take many things for granted; few could claim a more distinguished association with the United States or with the Jewish population within it.

She must have also been something of a prodigy. Her father published her first book of poetry before she was 18. And though some lines are dewy with Romantic mannerism, the compilation was impressive enough for the 65-year-old Ralph Waldo Emerson to welcome an association with this young poet. (“I should like to be appointed your professor,” he wrote to her, “you being required to attend the whole term.”)

It is difficult to sort out the peculiarities of that eccentric relationship, along with several others in which Lazarus combined an acolyte’s submission with prideful assertion. But her ambitions led her to the heart of American literary culture. She visited Walden Pond with Thoreau’s biographer, William Ellery Channing, who presented her with Thoreau’s compass. Walt Whitman’s biographer, John Burroughs, showed the older poet her work (which he praised).

Lazarus also found a place in salons, including a Newport-based club overseen by Emily Dickinson’s mentor, Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The exhibition design evokes a weekly New York salon, where a couple who were Lazarus’s lifelong friends, Richard Watson Gilder and his wife, Helena, held court. We learn too of Lazarus’s European travels, where she met Robert Browning, Henry James and William Morris.

In all this you get a sense of a young woman skilled at both her craft and her career. Her moral imagination evolved as well; in one poem she may well have evoked the underbelly of the sugar-trade ships that made her father prosperous:

In that deep, reeking hell, what slaves be they,

Who feed the ravenous monster, pant and sweat,

Nor know if overhead reign night or day?

But alongside her seemingly frictionless ascent were gnawing refrains. One of Lazarus’s closest friends was Helena Gilder’s brother, Charles deKay. After they had attended a concert by the Hungarian pianist Rafael Joseffy, deKay wrote to his sister about that Jewish virtuoso’s “sickening” appearance. And in a posthumous review of Lazarus’s poems, deKay inserted extraneous comments about her being a “Sibyl Judaica,” suggesting that only a Jewish poet could reach “that great world of finance in Europe which is Hebrew, which is so powerful through money-bags and acquired titles, and which seems to use its wealth to so little purpose.”

Lazarus seemed prepared to overlook such attitudes. But she did not consider Judaism incidental to her poetry or her life. Longfellow, for example, in his 1854 poem “The Jewish Cemetery at Newport” evokes a long-dead world that he thinks is deservedly so:

The mystic volume of the world they read,

Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,

Till life became a Legend of the Dead.

Lazarus, visiting the same place in 1867, signed a visitors’ register (shown here) and wrote her poetic response, “In the Jewish Synagogue at Newport.” Though there are no signs of life, she imagines its worshipers once “found their comfort” there. And her final lines are reverential, chastising, perhaps, her predecessor:

Take off your shoes as by the burning bush,

Before the mystery of death and God.

“The truth is,” she wrote in 1883, “that every Jew has to crack for himself this hard nut of his peculiar position in a non-Jewish community.” She began writing regularly for the journal The American Hebrew and began to study Hebrew. She published “Songs of a Semite” and dedicated the book to George Eliot, whose novel “Daniel Deronda” hit her with the force of revelation. Its story of a British aristocrat discovering his Jewish origins and devoting himself to a Zionist cause kindled Lazarus’s interest in “Jewish repatriation” and “self-emancipation.”

During this period cataclysmic pogroms took place in Russia, described in 1882 press reports as a “reign of terror” against Jews, encompassing nine months of murder, pillage and rape. Lazarus wrote a brilliant, furious poem:

Across the Eastern sky has glowed

The flicker of a blood-red dawn,

Once more the clarion cock has crowed,

Once more the sword of Christ is drawn

A million burning rooftrees light

The world-wide path of Israel’s flight.

She wrote to a friend that her work for Jewish causes “may, & probably will fill my life.” She devoted herself to the thousands of Jewish refugees who came to the United States, even admitting to discomfort with some of the more observant as she worked on their behalf, establishing training programs and classes.

It is out of such experiences that “The New Colossus” took shape. With the easy familiarity of long acquaintance, Lazarus stands firmly beside the statue and gives it voice. She watches the wretched Jewish refuse of Europe’s teeming shores come through this harbor, and sees too what possibilities and difficulties lie ahead in this American Zion. Then she generalizes from the particular and, for more than a century, despite periods of temporary dimming, lights a lamp beside the golden door.

“Emma Lazarus: Poet of Exiles” is on view through the end of 2012 at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, 36 Battery Place, Battery Park City, Lower Manhattan; mjhnyc.org.

jewsign Chuck Schumer Plans To Kill Arizona Immigration Law If Supreme Court Backs SB 1070

WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats announced a game plan on Tuesday (4/24/12) for dealing with immigration law SB 1070, should the Supreme Court rule in Arizona's favor -- one that would ban states from creating their own immigration legislation.

The Court will hear a case against the Arizona law on Wednesday, based on the Justice Department suit that contends SB 1070 -- already partially blocked -- is preempted by federal prerogative to enforce immigration.

Ahead of the hearing, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), chairman of a Senate subcommittee on immigration, announced a bill that would kill the Arizona law and ones like it.

"States like Arizona and Alabama will no longer be able to get away with saying they are simply 'helping the federal government' to enforce the law when they are really writing their own laws and knowingly deploying untrained officers with a mission of arresting anyone and everyone who might fit the preconceived profile of an illegal immigrant," Schumer said at a hearing of the subcommittee.

Schumer's legislation would bar states from enacting immigration enforcement legislation and prohibit them from seeking to find, apprehend or detain undocumented immigrants without training and authorization from the federal government.

It's not likely to pass any time soon, given the difficulty of passing even immigration reform with bipartisan support. Many Republicans support SB 1070 and the states' rights to police immigration. Both sides say laws like SB 1070 are put in place because the federal government has failed on immigration in some respect -- either through enforcement or changing policy.

Given the unlikelihood of passing an immigration law this year, some accused Schumer of playing the issue for politics.

Only two senators, Schumer and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), showed up for the hearing on Tuesday, which Schumer said was "not surprising" and "typical" because many senators are also absent from the reform effort. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said in a Tuesday morning statement that the hearing was "no more than election-year theater" and skipped it for that reason.

Ousted Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican who introduced the law, said he was surprised that none of the Republicans, particularly Kyl, showed up to defend the law, and that none of them told him they would be staying away from the hearing.
