Ann Coulter is back, more fearless than ever. In Adios, America she touches the third rail in American politics, attacking the immigration issue head-on and flying in the face of La Raza, the Democrats, a media determined to cover up immigrants' crimes, churches that get paid by the government for their "charity," and greedy Republican businessmen and campaign consultants—all of whom are profiting handsomely from mass immigration that’s tearing the country apart. Applying her trademark biting humor to the disaster that is U.S. immigration policy, Coulter proves that immigration is the most important issue facing America today.

Editorial Reviews
Review
-- Miami Herald
"Like other Ann Coulter books, its cutting wit and take-no-prisoners style is backed up by thoroughly researched facts, including facts that most of the media refuse to report."
-- Thomas Sowell, National Review
"The phrase 'political book of the year' is a usually an empty compliment, but if the phrase ever described any book, Adios America is it. In its pages, [Donald] Trump found the message that would convulse the Republican primary and upend the dynastic hopes of former-frontrunner Jeb Bush. Perhaps no single writer has had such immediate impact on a presidential election since Harriet Beecher Stowe."
--David Frum, The Atlantic
..".often-inflammatory, usually clever, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny..."
-- The Daily Beast
"Coulter's argument--that the media and our politicians conspire to keep information from us about the effects of mass immigration from non-Western countries, and that such immigration will destroy the fabric of the country--is virtually unassailable."
-- Ben Shapiro, Townhall
..".the best book she's ever written..."
--Gavin McInnes, co-founder of Vice
From the Inside Flap
Ann Coulter is back, more fearless than ever. In ¡Adios, America! she touches the third rail in American politics, attacking the immigration issue head-on and flying in the face of La Raza, the Democrats, a media determined to cover up immigrants’ crimes, churches that get paid by the government for their charity,” and greedy Republican businessmen and campaign consultantsall of whom are profiting handsomely from mass immigration that’s tearing the country apart.
Applying her trademark biting humor to the disaster that is U.S. immigration policy, Ann Coulter proves that immigration is the most important issue facing America today. As Ann points out, if we cave to the Democrats’ scheme to bring in 30 million new liberal voters, we lose on everything else, too, from the economy to social issues to foreign policy to constitutionalism, to the very identity of our nation.
Immigration is the one issue where it’s nearly impossible to get the factsor even the other side of the argument. But Ann blows the lid off the cover-up by government, both political parties, and media alike. A sampling of the scintillating insights and revelations in ¡Adios, America!:
On building a border wall: People who live in gated communities tell us fences don’t work.”
On welfare: Today’s immigrants aren’t coming here to breathe free, they’re coming to live for free.”
On how the media shut down the immigration debate: It can be difficult to discuss America’s immigration policies when it’s considered racist merely to say, We liked America the way it was.’”
The Democrats have always regarded immigration reform” as a way to stuff the ballot boxstarting with Ted Kennedy’s immigration law of 1965.
The Democrats know that by changing the makeup of our population they can deliver themselves a permanent majority. Immigration amnesty” will do just that overnight; continuing our current legal immigration policy will do it within ten or twenty years. Ann Coulter shows what we need to do to stop them.

About the author
Ann Hart Coulter (/ˈkoʊltər/; born December 8, 1961) is an American conservative social and political commentator, writer, syndicated columnist, and lawyer. She frequently appears on television, radio, and as a speaker at public and private events.
Coulter rose to prominence in the 1990s as an outspoken critic of the Clinton administration. Her first book concerned the Bill Clinton impeachment, and sprang from her experience writing legal briefs for Paula Jones's attorneys, as well as columns she wrote about the cases. Coulter has described herself as a polemicist who likes to ""stir up the pot"", and does not ""pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do"", drawing criticism from the left, and sometimes from the right.
Coulter's syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate began appearing in newspapers, and was featured on major conservative websites.

Coulter’s subtitle summarizes her basic thesis—that America’s immigration policies since the decisive Edward Kennedy bill in 1965 have altered our demographic makeup so radically that the nation will be unalterably degraded if immediate changes aren’t made to our legal and illegal immigration practices. Kennedy’s legislation, despite passionate assurances to the contrary, (Coulter: “If you like your country’s ethnic composition, you can keep it.”) soon became the vehicle for fundamentally transforming America’s immigrant population from largely European to overwhelmingly Third World in origin.
Indeed, Coulter observes in her heavily annotated work that about 50 million Mexicans, more than a quarter of that nation’s population, has already migrated, either legally and illegally, to America—a figure derived by employing data other than census forms that folks unlawfully in the country clearly don’t complete at the postulated 90% rate. Overall, thanks to family reunification policies and notoriously lax enforcement of sanctuary laws, “since 1970, nearly 90 percent of all legal immigrants have been from the Third World.” Accordingly, the country now accepts “more immigrants from Nigeria than we do from Britain” and “in just a few decades, Minnesota has gone from being 99 percent German, Dutch, Finnish, Danish, and Polish to 20 percent African immigrant—including at least one hundred thousand Somalis.”
The devastating consequences of accepting millions of immigrants from cultural backwaters are evident in crime statistics—stats that Coulter says are incredibly hard to secure since it’s now deemed racist to ask how many incarcerated folks are foreign born. Despite the virtual blackout on such data, it’s clear that immigrants (legal and illegal) constitute a disproportionate percentage of the nation’s prison population. “The U.S. government admits that at least 351,000 criminal immigrants were incarcerated in the United States as of 2011.” The “at least” in that sentence should be emphasized in view of the importance government officials place on “not” tracking such politically explosive information.
Many of these criminals, Coulter observes with biting irony, are committing crimes that Americans just won’t do. "Adios America" is replete with atrocities that most news outlets won’t specifically attribute to immigrants. Instead a “man” or “residents” are to blame for gruesome crimes—child molestations, gang rapes, sex-trafficking, et cetera. Consider, for example, a 1998 New York Times story in which the journalist employs a remarkable number of misleading terms in his report on a vicious gang-rape in Fresno, California (“working class city…men and boys…24-year-old man…teen-ager…five adults…seven juveniles) all the while avoiding specifically identifying both the perpetrators and victims of these crimes as Hmong immigrants. To further confuse readers, the reporter throws into his story an inapt comparison to a decade-old fraternity sexual assault of a mentally disabled girl in New Jersey and an irrelevant reference to a white supremacist gang in Fresno. Coulter adds that “over the next year, about three dozen Hmong men were indicted for a series of gang rapes and forced prostitution of young girls in the Fresno area.”
The truth that PC journalists are loath to admit is that Third World attitudes toward women are generally abysmal when compared with the United States. Thus, the fact that young Hispanic girls in the U.S. are seven times more likely than their white counterparts to give birth between the ages of ten and fourteen is perfectly consistent with Mexican law where “in thirty-one of thirty-two states… the age of consent for sex is twelve.” The lone exception is Mexico State where the legal age is fourteen. Thus, it shouldn’t be surprising that Hispanics have the highest unmarried birthrate in the U.S., “even higher than American blacks,” a fact that “accounts for a raft of social problems…that will never be identified as the consequence of mass immigration.” It’s also important to note that in the Third World a child’s (or even a woman’s) “consent” is a very malleable concept.
For Coulter one of the most egregious aspects of American immigration jurisprudence is the notion that any baby born in America, regardless of the mother’s legal status, automatically becomes an American citizen. That baby then becomes an “anchor” used to bring the rest of the family to America. Coulter argues that this reading of the Fourteenth Amendment was “cooked up by Justice William Brennan in 1982” and has given rise to a flood of planned births in the U.S. by illegal immigrants. In Stockton, California, for example, “70 percent of the 2,300 babies born” in 2003 at that city’s “San Joaquin General Hospital’s maternity ward were anchor babies.” Coulter adds to that statistic one more fact: “By 2013, Stockton was bankrupt.”
The policy of bestowing American citizenship on the progeny of individuals who purposely break U.S. immigration laws is so crazy that even Nevada Senator Harry Reid blasted it in 1993: “If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn’t enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? No sane country would do that, right?” But soon afterward, Coulter notes, “Democrats discovered that parents of anchor babies were voting for them! Suddenly Senator Reid decided it wasn’t insane to give citizenship to children born to illegals…. To the contrary, it was racist not to do so.”
According to Coulter, another journalistic con-job foisted on the American people involves polls about illegal immigration. These surveys typically require respondents to choose between two unreal alternatives: 1) rounding up and deporting all illegal immigrants or 2) granting these same folks a “pathway to citizenship” based on a long list of conditions—paying fines and back taxes, learning English, taking citizenship classes, no access to welfare, et cetera. The first alternative omits the option of self-deportation, a choice that would become much more likely if an E-verify system that checks an employee’s social security card were made mandatory for most employers. The second alternative involves preconditions that are never actually imposed on illegal immigrants. Another possible response omitted from most polls would be letting illegal immigrants remain “in the shadows”—an option most illegals obviously favor over returning to places like Guadalajara.
Coulter’s book also sheds light on the role played by one of the world’s richest men in America’s immigration debate. That man, Carlos Slim Helu, is a Mexican citizen “whose fortune depends on tens of millions of Mexicans living in the United States, preferably illegally” and sending billions of dollars back to relatives in Mexico. Coulter’s expose focuses primarily on the fact that in 2008 this shady financier “saved the New York Times from bankruptcy.” Following Slim’s quarter-billion dollar loan, the Times became increasingly strident on the issue of illegal immigration. In pre-bailout 2004, for example, a Times article described the nation’s southern border as under siege.” Ten years later, when Latin Americans were more egregiously “pouring across the border, the Times indignantly demanded that Obama ‘go big’ on immigration and give ‘millions of immigrants permission to stay.’ What a difference,” Coulter observes, “one thieving Mexican billionaire makes!”
While accepting millions of Third World immigrants is clearly, on Coulter’s evidence, bad for America, “it’s fantastic for Democrats” as well as for businesses that profit from this vast source of low-wage labor. Wealthy folks seeking cheap maids and nannies also have an interest in maintaining a ready supply of uneducated domestic workers who can be paid off the books and further supported by taxpayers. Incredibly, Coulter informs us that until 1970 immigrants to America actually “made more money, bought more houses, and were more educated” than native-born Americans. That was before Edward Kennedy’s lasting gift to the Democrat Party fully opened the Third World spigot.
Coulter’s advice to America and to largely oblivious GOP Presidential contenders is to “just shut it down. No more family reunification, no more scam marriages, no more refugees, no more phony asylum cases (which is all of them), and no more ‘high-tech workers’ providing slave labor to Microsoft.” A fence on the southern border, an end to “anchor baby” status, and “a timeout on endless immigration from the Third World” are required if America is itself to avoid becoming “a Third World republic that will never elect another Republican—in other words, ‘California.’”
"Adios America" is full of anecdotes and will doubtless be dismissed as merely anecdotal by folks who profit from our current immigration system or who mindlessly repeat the bogus mantra, “Diversity is our strength.” (Consider the effects of “diversity” in the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and Rwanda.) In truth, however, Coulter’s book contains a raft of important statistics as well as a number of compelling arguments that should give pause to anyone willing to scrutinize the effects of America’s legal and illegal immigration policies over the last five decades.
Imagine India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi speaking to his nation – he looks forward to the time when Indians will become a minority in India! And an Indian audience applauding! Such an announcement would be the death knell for Modi’s political party, and Modi would be driven from office in shame. But these two suppositions are simply inconceivable in reality, for neither Xi nor Modi would ever make such pronouncements.
On Bastille Day, 14 July 1997, then President Bill Clinton of the United States presented the commencement address at the Univ. of California, San Diego. He said, “Today, the State of Hawaii, …, has no majority racial or ethnic group. It is a wonderful place of exuberance and friendship and patriotism. Within the next 3 years, here in California no single race or ethnic group will make up a majority of the State's population…. A half-century from now, when your own grandchildren are in college, there will be no majority race in America.” Clinton’s audience applauded the notion that whites would become a minority by 2050. Whites, who had been the vast majority and dominant population in the US since its origins, and who composed 90% of the American population when Bill Clinton was born, were scheduled to become a minority in approximately 50 years. What was Clinton’s response? Appoint a commission to conduct a dialog on race (but John Hope Franklin, appointed to lead the group, demanded no dissent from his left-wing views on race), and Clinton urged better education for those who would be replacing the whites. Clinton’s approach was more like that of Jews in 1930s Germany, who as their factories were being confiscated, were to train the Aryans who were entering to replace them.
How could Americans applaud Clinton’s speech? Why did he and others not see the demographic statistics he presented as a threat to the Americans who had built America? Why did Clinton not react as Modi would if it applied to India? Or Xi if it applied to China?
Suppose there is a county near the Mexican border, we will call it Angoland; its population at the last census was 10,000 all Anglos. Suppose that since then there have been major border crossings, and for the next census, it appears the total population of the county will be 20,000, half of whom are basically illiterate in English (many just as illiterate in Spanish). Suddenly, there are demands for Spanish teachers in the schools. The courts require translators for the many new cases of drugs, drunk driving, driving without a license, stolen cars, etc. Then the liberals fight back – why are there no Hispanic police? Protests demand 50% of the police and fire departments be Hispanic. Appeals are made to the EEOC, and an agreement is made so no new Anglos will be hired in the civil service until the Hispanics have their “fair share” of 50% of the county’s jobs. If most of the new Hispanics are incapable of passing the exams that have been used for decades, the Feds will demand that those exams be scrapped; only simple exams that almost anyone can pass will be used. And then the racial quotas will determine who is hired, and the new hire will be declared “basically qualified,” (but never the best qualified). The same process will occur in schools and the community college. Moreover, hereafter new hires will have to be fluent in Spanish (not knowing that language is clearly discrimination against half the county’s residents.) Indeed, new hires should be bi-lingual (that is Spanish-English, no other languages will be considered). If most old residents do not know Spanish, they will have to learn it if they want a civil service job, or even as a clerk in Target or Burger King (because, to the newcomer, English monolingualism means discrimination). This will provide even more reasons to hire illegals. And never question their immigration status, for that is racial profiling, which the Feds deem discrimination, and they will fine any employer who engages is such an evil practice.
The result: in a short time Angoland County will be unrecognizable, from Angoland to Espanterra in a few years. This happens not only in an imaginary county – this is what is occurring all over America. Why?
Coulter begins her book by noting that the political fight over immigration is one of the elite against the American public (p. 1), and concludes that the public, despite its clear opposition to massive immigration, has been unable to change the open border policies.(270)
Of course, Coulter is persuasive with her zingers – why is the crowd who assure us that fences are ineffective live in gaited communities? She quotes various politicians with their counter-zingers: show me a 10-foot fence and I’ll show you an 11-foot latter. She counters, if the fences are so ineffective, why are the pro-immigration crowd so opposed to border fences? Israel has one, and it works. East Germany had one, and very few illegal immigrants got into, or out of, the old GDR. Border fences can work. That is why the elite so fiercely oppose them.
Of course the academedia complex, almost all leftwing, cover-up and lie about the immigration disaster. “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” Coulter adds to the lefty lies, “If you like your country, you can keep your country.” She exposes the deception used by the Democrats when they proposed the 1965 change in the immigration law – the assurances that it would not alter the ethnic composition of the US. In a later period, Coulter also exposes the many lies of the Republicans who run for election opposing massive immigration, but once elected, lobby for and vote for various forms of amnesty. In several place in the book, Coulter reveals some of the hypocrisy of Republican Sen. Marco Rubio on this issue.
One thing I learned from Coulter’s new book is how sections of America are already occupied territory of the Mexicans. Parts of our national parks are closed to American citizens because they have become too dangerous, areas where drugs are grown, and sometimes refined and manufactured. Americans get out – this park is Mexican cartel country! Other areas are no longer the domain of American hikers, campers, and tourists; these American parks are the pathways to welfare for Mexican invaders. If they fear exposure from tourists or park officials, they will light matches intentionally trying to set wild fires. The Park Service then has to worry about the costly fires and abandon any attempt to halt the invaders. And what does the conservationist Sierra Club think of the invaders who seize American parks and burn our forests? They were opposed, of course, until a rich, pro-immigration donor presented the Sierra Club with a huge gift – so long as the SC avoided the immigration issue. Bottom line – Sierra Club sold out.
And the New York Times, which once opposed the open borders and massive illegal flow of immigrants changed its tune also. As the Times neared bankruptcy, Mexican millionaire Carlos Slim bailed out the newspaper of record. Then, suddenly, the Times became pro-immigration and opposed to border fences. Bottom line.
The influx of immigrants is made worse because of the dominant, left-wing, politically-correct culture. In the past, immigrants were expected to learn English and adapt to American ways. But now, under the absurd theory that all cultures are equal (except Western civilization, which is identified with racism, colonialism, sexism, and all forms of oppression), immigrants need not assimilate to such a rotten culture. Today’s immigrants need not adapt to American customs; Americans must adapt to theirs. So now, to get a job in the city, one may have to be bi-lingual (good at Spanish, barely tolerable at English). If you see your Hmong neighbor clubbing a puppy to death, don’t be alarmed. He is trying to save a sick relative through animal sacrifice, just as in the old country. (And did they use human sacrifice in the old country? If so, we should not be judgmental and adapt. Diversity is out strength!) Gang rapes? We must understand that such is common in various cultures. Honor killings? We must understand. Terrorism? We must understand…
Coulter makes the point – we must understand what kind of immigrants we are importing. If we do not stop it, America will become another 3rd world hellhole.
One reviewer on amazon complained that though Coulter’s book is excellent, it may be too late to stop the 3rd world invasion. Excellent as Adios, America! is, it is not the first such book. Recall anti-Vietnam war crusader, the liberal Democratic Minnesota Senator who in 1968 challenged Pres. Lyndon Johnson in the New Hampshire primary. Sen. Eugene McCarthy did so well, that Pres. Johnson withdrew from the race. Sen. Robert Kennedy entered and fought McCarthy in various primaries. Finally, Kennedy won in California, only to be murdered that very night by a Palestinian immigrant. In 1993 liberal Eugene McCarthy published a book, A Colony of the World: the USA Today, stressing how we had lost control of our borders and were in many ways now a colony. That same year, and expert on civil rights legislation, Hugh Davis Graham, a liberal, published a tedious but fact-filled volume, The Strange Convergence of Affirmative Action and Immigration Policy in America. And in 1995 legal English immigrant Peter Brimelow published Alien Nation: Common Sense about America’s Immigration Disaster. We have been warned for at least 2 decades about the mounting crisis. What have we done about it?
The cost in crime and welfare and lost jobs to citizens because of an invasion by millions of illegals is a disaster. Coulter asks, what if all this money spent on invaders had been spent on Blacks? I ask, what if it had been spent on all of America’s poor citizens?
In 1965 we were duped by Ted Kennedy and the left into changing our immigration law, one that had worked well for 40 years. We were assured the new immigrants would be much like the old, and the numbers would not increase significantly. Lies. When average American citizens experienced the real changes, the loss of income, the new competition, the lower wages, the changes in the schools (wearing a USA t-shirt gets you suspended from some California schools for the shirt may offend Mexican invaders!), the rise in crimes, etc., they sought to stop the flow and close the border. But will America’s elite, the academedia Left and the corporate globalists, continue to thwart the desire of the American people? If the people do not force a major change in immigration policy soon, then the American people will no longer be the people of America.

In my opinion this book illustrates the theory the USA human rights need as in the freedom of expression need to be qualified. Similar to our human rights in the European Union - proportionality (means meet the need, nearer to preface meets the conclusion in rhetoric) is mandatory in respect for the other human being, national security and within a democratic society.
