In 1960, when JFK defeated Nixon, America was a nation of 160 million, 90 percent white and 10 percent black, with a few million Hispanics and Asians sprinkled among us.
We were one nation, one people. We worshipped the same God, spoke the same English language, studied American history and English literature, honored the same heroes, read the same books, watched the same TV shows, went to the same movies and saw ourselves as defenders of Western civilization against the godless communism of the Soviet Empire.
We were confident and proud of who we were. That was yesterday. But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever. And as one studies the latest projections of the Census Bureau, the America of our grandchildren will be another country altogether, a nation unrecognizable to our parents, a giant Brazil of the North.
In 2050, there will be three times as many people living here as in 1960 -- 420 million. White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Hispanics in the United States, more than 100 million, will be equal to the population of today's Mexico. Our Asian population will be almost as large as our African-American population today.
By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation. Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City.
Writing in Foreign Policy, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington, author of Who We Are, raises an alarm about the huge infusion of Hispanics into the Southwest, and for many reasons.
Much of this mass immigration is illegal. Vast numbers are coming here only to work. They are not assimilating. They do not want to become Americans. They are concentrating in states bordering Mexico, which is their country and a nation with a historic grievance against us. They are holding on to their language and culture, creating a Hispanic nation within our nation. By 2050, there will be scores of millions of people living here whose loyalty is to a foreign country.
Moreover, as multiculturalism has captured our schools and colleges, immigrant children will have prejudices and grievances against America and the West reinforced as they learn. The academic elite that controls these schools already paints America as a nation with a rancid history of genocide, slavery, racism, oppression and imperialism.
Is the Census Bureau future the future that Americans wish? No. Are they willing to risk it for their grandchildren? No.
Why, then, does that future appear inevitable?
Answer: Though a majority of Americans wish to preserve the land they grew up in for their children, our elites -- political, academic, cultural and corporate -- are either unwilling to conserve that America or indifferent to its disappearance.
Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Because we no longer live in a democratic republic; we are ruled by a managerial elite.
America's corporate elites want an endless supply of cheap labor. Our judges throw out popularly enacted laws to which they object. Our academic elites work to see ''white, racist America'' disappear. Our neo-Marxist cultural elites wish to be the gravediggers of the West and of Christian culture. And America's conservative party, the Republican Party, believes that Hispanics hold the key to retention of presidential power and is anxious not to offend Mexican President Vicente Fox.
If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.
Tell me, where do you suppose the present inhabitants of Mexico came from originally, that is, to settle the heretofore empty land call Mexico?
You mean like what happened to the Roman Empire?
Well, they did not come from Africa, where much of Brazil's population's descendants came from. Indians came from Asia to the Americas. At the time Mexico was discovered by the Spanish, one-third of Indians supposedly lived in present day Mexico.
They condemn Pat for his words, calling him "racist", but we are being invaded by Mexico. He is telling it the way it is. If you don't believe it, then you don't live in California.
Pat is seeing our culture, history, and our American way of life disappearing.
They work in California too, by working for less money, taking jobs away from American workers in the roofing and construction industries, the gardeners, the truck drivers, nannies, the restaurant industry, the warehousers, the tile guys, the cement guys, the body shop businesses, etc., all the way down to fast food jobs.
They work much of the time for cash, pay few taxes, and their girlfriends and wives collect welfare and aid to dependent children while they're claiming to be single mothers. California taxpayers are being scammed to the max. They get free medical care, free schooling, assisted housing, food stamps, everything.
California is the king of welfare giveouts, and the false document business thrives, enabling the illegal aliens to get the whole enchilada for free, while young American couples struggle to pay their bills and their taxes, and their share of the billions of dollars illegal aliens cost California.
If anyone can explain to me how this is fair to America, that person gets a cigar (American made).
Nothing wrong with that - America needs a bit more protectionism, especially regarding American jobs, and less invasion. We can no longer be the world's wet nurse. I often wonder what happened to the concept of "America First".
South Americans are Indian, white, or black, and combinations thereof, depending on what country you are referring to.
Agreed. Republicans, Democrats, it doesn't make any difference anymore. Invasion and plunder without a shot fired. This is America? The Founders must be rolling in their graves.
