In a recent election piece, pundit Ann Coulter identified illegal migration as one of the two most important issues of our time. She writes that if we fail at halting it, “the country will be changed permanently.” She continues:
Taxes can be raised and lowered. Regulations can be removed (though they rarely are). Attorneys general and Cabinet members can be fired. Laws can be repealed. Even Supreme Court justices eventually die.
But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back.
[Snip]...Coulter is, of course, right – but she only dare hint at the real problem. The fact is that halting illegal migration will do nothing to forestall the socialist electoral shift to which she refers.

—This is like what Pat Buchanan is talking about. Our legal immigration policy is suicidal and will lead to the end of America.—
So true. Problem is, the horse has already left the barn.
It’s why I moved from my multi-decade home of Seattle and moved to rural, central Kentucky. Land, buildings, personal solar/wind power, guns and PM’s are the goal here. It has become so obvious that I am amazed people that pay attention are not seeing it all around them. And this immigration part is almost an irrelevance compared to the other facets playing out all around us.
Ann Coulter: "Mutt, I mean Mitt is the clear Conservative choice. And don't you worry about my consulting fee!"
No one should be afraid to address immigration. The democrats are using immigration deliberately to change the electorate. It’s crazy not to stand up to that. Obviously the current citizenry has a right to control who comes in. Look what France is going through now.
The writer is absolutely correct, like it or not.
Bump.
Let’s continue to see what the remaining Republican presidential candidates say about immigration, and whether they attempt to avoid the issue (which will be very telling).
Pat points out something I have said many times: the US LEGAL immigration policies are equally or more responsible for the demographic/political shifts to the left than illegal immigration is, and they make legal amnesty (of illegals) more and more likely in the future. Look how a number of Republicans candidates were scared to take a hard line on illegal immigration, and that is a Republican primary.
she expands on this later in the piece:Which demonstrates that Ann is clueless about California. IMO, those two were perhaps the most unlikeable, least qualified individuals ever crammed down the throats of the GOP electorate. And both liberals, to boot.<[W]e ought to be able to learn the perils of illegal immigration by looking at California. Massive legal and illegal immigration has already so changed the California electorate that no Republican can be elected statewide anymore. ...If even Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman, two bright, attractive, successful female business executives – one pro-life and one pro-choice – can’t win a statewide election in California spending millions of their own dollars in the middle of the 2010 Republican sweep, it’s buenas noches, muchachos.
The article is correct about illegal immigration but loses its message by including this crap.
“Iowa does not represent American voters”
Neither does Mitt Romney
Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million to 440 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the world’s third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any developed country in the world, i.e., 0.977 percent (2010 estimate), principally due to immigration.
87 percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually are minorities as defined by the U.S. Government and almost all of the illegal aliens are minorities. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under in the U.S. will be classified as minorities and by 2039, half of the residents of this country will be minorities. Generally, immigrants and minorities vote predominantly for the Democrat Party. Hence, Democrats view immigration as a never-ending source of voters that will make them the permanent majority party.
Since the 1965 Immigration Act, our pro-population growth immigration policies have fueled major demographic changes in a very short period of time. In 1970, non-Hispanic whites comprised 89 percent of the population; today they are 66 percent; and by 2039, they will be 50 percent. The Democrats, under the banner of multiculturalism and diversity, have forged a political coalition that depends on individuals coalescing around racial and ethnic identities rather than the issues. The continuing and increasing flow of minority immigrants, mostly poor and uneducated, provide a natural constituency for the Democrats, which see them as their principal source of political power.
I'm convinced that is why the leftists put Somalis and other people who have never lived in a modern society into heartland states. They want to change the populace and destroy the culture. It is morally evil.
The writers point here is correct. These two are liberal republicans with great name recognition - in this state they would have easily won - 25 years ago.
Since then the welfare state, fed by a constant flow of millions of new clients from abroad, has become so strong not even these two had a chance.
We all know how dissatified and disappointed Obama is with the American electorate. Can you blame him for dissolving the electorate and finding a new one?
The article is correct about LEGAL IMMIGRATION.
“No one should be afraid to address immigration.”
Everyone is afraid to address it because both of the monied interests on both the left and right want it.
The left wants the cheap votes and the new union membership.
The right wants the cheap labor to offset the world-beating corporate tax rate, the cost of regulation, and the resultant higher cost of labor.
The only people that PAY for any of it are the middle class voter. We are the only people against illegal immigration, and we can’t afford to buy a lobbyist.
The NAACP, ironically, is very much opposed to it, but they can’t afford to be against it in public, because their position against is motivated solely by racial politics.
It appears that even the district in Harlem isn’t as safe as it once was due to the influx of ‘the brown people’ into that district. It appears that since latinos have a better work ethic, and they still cling to the antique idea that families require mothers AND fathers - and church, the demographics are going to end up moving blacks to number 3.
Turns out aborting all of your babies and making mom turn tricks to feed the family while you go out and have more illegitimate kids hurts your welfare check in the long run.
The immigrants dig it. Mexico digs it.
Coulter’s right, but no serious candidate for President can come out COMPLETELY against it. Perry keeps asking ‘where my heart is’ on the issue. I know where his head is on the issue, and it isn’t above his belt buckle where it belongs.
McCain continues to have conversations with his own prostrate on the matter as well.
Romney’s probably on both sides of the issue, as usual.
Where’s Newt on it? I actually have no idea.

“Obviously the citizenry has a right to...”
Uh, we’re just “residents” or “consumers” now. And our betters long ago decided we’re “too white, too rural, too religious, too clinging to guns, too heterosexual, too...”
Starting to see a pattern here?
—We still have a chance to preserve America as we know it but the window of opportunity is shrinking. The time for political action to protect America is now!—
I either agree with, or believe sense is made by all of your post except the quote above.
I think we no longer have a chance. I put my money where my mouth is when I moved from my long time home of Seattle to where I now enjoy a spectacular lifestyle. I understand what Chris Martinson meant when he said “I gave up a high standard of living for a high quality of life.” I’m living it and loving it - until the collapse comes.
I believe the time for political action to protect America ended in 2008, with the first bailout. Both parties are in this up to their eyeballs and there is no political solution to the mess we and the rest of the civilized world are in. These things need to just play out, much as the collapse of the roman empire did.
I am not John Galt. It took me a while to see the light. I’m more like Hank Reardon, but there are a lot of Dagney Taggarts out there, fighting the good fight until the very end.
