Hanson: Dem push to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants will destroy civilization as we know it

August 3, 2021 | Kay Apfel | Print Article

Democrats are racing to shove mass amnesty into their $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation plan set to accompany the bipartisan infrastructure plan for joint approvals; if passed, however, America’s sovereignty and the founding principles that our nation was built on could crumble as historian Victor Davis Hanson told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Monday night.

With 2022 quickly approaching, Democrats are deeply concerned over Republicans’ opportunity to take back the House and the Senate. Democrats want to capitalize on the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens estimated to have flowed through the border this year alone by not only granting them amnesty but giving them the right to vote.

“It’s just as we are seeing the efforts to destroy the Electoral College, or pack the court, or have a national voter law. They feel the constituency of the present demography is not on their side, so they can’t wait to legally have residents come with green cards and go through the lengthy process of citizenship because they don’t think they’re going to be in power or they won’t have this moment. So they want to have residents immediately become equal to citizens and they know that citizenship is the foundation of western civilization,” Hanson explained.

The Democratic Party wants to weaponize immigration law and the immigration process for political control. Hanson used history as an indicator of how well this kind of policy turned out in the past.

“It was only 2,700 years ago when, in the Classical world, people said…we are a permanent fixed peoples, we have identifiable borders, we can make our own laws and elect our own officials and take governance into our own hands. We can’t do that if we are migratory tribes, or we don’t have a settled space or don’t have shared and collective customs and traditions that develop from settlement,” Hanson stated.

His insight exposes what Americans have comes to know as a frightening truth about radical Democrats– they renounce America and the very customs and traditions the nation is founded upon. They can’t even stand for their own flag or national anthem when representing America at the Olympics. It is a shameful spectacle that presents dangerous consequences.

“When we look at people crossing the border–2 million scheduled in the next 12 months–we don’t know who these people are, we don’t know if they speak our language or share our values, we don’t even know if they’ve ever voted before and the idea that the moment they come across – and the first decision they made was to break U.S. Law, the second will be to reside here illegally – that they would be coequal to a citizen defies the whole concept of civilization,” the historian hammered the policy.

“Citizenship is already eroded, it is mentioned several times in the Constitution as an assumption and you don;t even have to define it. But it used to be the idea that a citizen could only hold elected office, could only vote, go only in and out of the country at his own permission and will, and could serve in the military, and was subject to the laws of the United States and now we see those are mostly eroded and the only thing that separates a citizen from somebody crossing the border on day one was that they could not hold office and they could not vote. Yet already people in some jurisdictions, school board elections in California are voting and there’s talk about even people holding office. When that happens and we are no different than Rome with people in the late fifth century A.D. coming across the Roman borders…with no difference in their status and Roman citizens and you know what happened after that,” Hansen warned.

Carlson responded that the left is stealing the country from American citizens.

The unprecedented provision expected to be part of the massive $3.5 trillion Democrat spending plan is just one of the policies included that threatens American freedom and to upend life as we know it…more here.

Leroy Chapman, Jr., Editor in Chief THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION 223 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE Atlanta, Georgia 30346

Re: Demand for Retraction and Apology

Dear Mr. Chapman, Jr.:

I write on behalf of my client, the Dustin Inman Society (DIS), to demand an immediate retraction and apology for the defamatory statements published in your October 7, 2024, article titled “Democrats in this Georgia district are backing a write-in candidate” by Tia Mitchell.

Through use of internet links, the AJC article wrongfully characterizes the Dustin Inman Society as a “Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group.” This characterization is false, defamatory, and published with actual malice. The Dustin Inman Society pushes for secure borders, is not “anti-immigration” and its proprietors do not hate anyone. Rather, DIS advocates for enforcement of U.S. immigration laws and actively opposes unlawful immigration. This distinction is crucial and well-known to staff at your publication.

I paste the offending paragraph from the AJC story:

“A search of activity under her birth name, Karen Sacandy, which Stamper legally changed in 2019, showed that she previously was aligned with a Marietta-based anti-immigration hate group. The group’s website often linked to Sacandy’s activities, like a letter seeking information about the state’s Immigration Enforcement Review Board and a copy of a letter to the editor supporting legislation to prevent immigrants claiming asylum from obtaining driver’s licenses.”

October 18, 2024 Page 2

We note the AJC informs readers that the Dustin Inman Society “often” linked to Karen Sacandy/Kate Stamper activities — but produces only two occasions.

Your story, for which DIS founder and president D.A. King was not contacted, informs readers that Sacandy/Stamper “was aligned” with the Dustin Inman Society. We note that polls show that a majority of Americans oppose the federal offense of illegal immigration. Since the letter posted on the DIS site was a published missive to the editor at the Cherokee Tribune, we must ask: does this make that newspaper a “Cherokee County-based anti-immigration hate group”?

Your characterization demonstrates a reckless and vindictive disregard for the truth, rising to the level of actual malice as defined in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. Actual malice in defamation law refers to publication of a statement with knowledge that it is false or with reckless disregard of whether it is false or not. Your repeated mischaracterization of the Dustin Inman Society, despite having been corrected on numerous occasions, clearly meets this standard.

The Dustin Inman Society’s position on immigration is clear and public:

1. It supports sustainable levels of legal immigration through established channels.

2. It opposes unlawful immigration due to various societal concerns, including: – Strain on public resources and services
– Potential and real public safety issues
– Economic impacts on low-wage American workers and America’s poor

– Challenges to the rule of law

3. The Dustin Inman Society defends legal immigrants when media attempt to blur the difference between them and illegal aliens.

Moreover, the Dustin Inman Society’s board includes lawful immigrants who have navigated the proper channels for authorized immigration. This fact alone should dispel any notion that the organization is “anti-immigration.” As he has informed you multiple times over much of the last two decades, D.A. King’s sister is a real, legal immigrant.

While we acknowledge that the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Dustin Inman Society as an “anti-immigrant hate group that denigrates all immigrants,” your article presents the “anti-immigration hate group” characterization as the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s independent assessment and statement of fact.

This smear is not only demonstrably false and ignores Mr. King’s many communications to you advising you of the truth, but also demonstrates an exceedingly unprofessional failure to fact-check and verify information before publication.

We demand that the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

October 18, 2024 Page 3

1. Immediately publicly retract the defaming statement in the October 7, 2024, article.

2. Publish a prominent apology, equal in visibility and placement to the original defamatory article.

3. Cease and desist from further defamatory characterizations of the Dustin Inman Society.

Failure to comply with these demands may result in further legal action. We expect your prompt attention to this matter and await your timely response.

Sincerely,

Todd V. McMurtry
