The ADL is so stuck on loony liberalism that it ignores even its own research.
According to a 2002 ADL report, foreign-born Hispanics are far more anti-Semitic than those who have lived their lives in America. The findings in brief:
Strongly anti-Semitic:
17% of Americans
35% of Hispanics
44% of foreign-born Hispanics
20% of Hispanic Americans born in U.S.
Even so, this self-defined defender of Jews wants to import millions more anti-sems, a policy which is self-defeating if not suicidal. The ADL’s attitude is another example where liberals allow ideology to trump facts. They would rather attain the imaginary PC virtue of perfect multicultural diversity than be safe.
Or perhaps the ADL fears declining anti-Semitism among homegrown Americans and hopes to keep its organizational mission alive and fundable by welcoming immigrants who have unkind views toward Jews—Muslims and Mexicans to name a couple standouts. The ADL sure-fire way to job security!
The Immigration page of the ADL website is seriously hung up on “hate”—as if that were the worst thing on earth. Worse than losing your country, for example.
If this were 1940, the ADL would be complaining of French hatred of invading Germans. Think of all the economic stimulus they brought to Paris, it would argue. Sales of burgundy soared as a result of increased German diversity and trade. Etc.
Sorry to break this to the League, but what it calls “hate speech” is plain old free speech—and pretty accurate at that. What ADL finds objectionable is citizens speaking truthfully about a sacrosanct liberal icon—that “immigration,” defined broadly, is now almost entirely negative to the national body politic.And like many other leftist dinosaurs, the ADL finds details about legality too troublesome to mention.
The baseless “reports” it flacks are an attempt to impose the spineless, dishonest PC speech codes that are now common on college campusesonto mainstream political discourse. The open-borders people cannot win an honest debate about immigration where the real problems of worsening anarchy are on the table.
