America no longer white, united, English-speaking

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.

You give too much credit to the drones in the educational establish being able to brainwash anybody. JMO.

I have no problem with Cubans since they're generally fleeing communism

Alas...how true....one could say that for most Caribbean and Central and South American bourgeoisie as well who come here. (Miami resident 88-96)

[wardaddy]

I hear there is a South bashing thread underway against my home state over Haley Barbour having the gall to proclaim some sort of Confederate holiday....of the horror of it all.

There's no rest for the wicked, and we've about flogged this horse here to dust.

[cyborg]

I don't know about California, but the unions here in NYC and PA are impossible to deal with. Actually I see the issue of outsourcing connected with hiring illegal alien labor. Too much government regs. BTW, illegals aren't paid that much less in construction. Now home health aides I know about because my mother got replaced by a FIVE dollar an hour illegal alien, and that person is getting a check with means after taxes it's like FOUR dollars. Four dollars to care for someone's ageing parent. Sheesh.

[cyborg]

Oh yes I know about that thread LOL

[ronnieb]

You're calling me a racist for saying that? Are you insane?

No I'm not, you misrepresent a position, first of all, by reducing it to simple skin color and then you deliver your judgement of it, that it is racist. You attmept to itimidate people with that accusation. I suspect, though do not know, that you only hurl those words at white people, which makes you a racist. Your reaction is of course, typical, you question my sanity. I assure you I am sane. Convince me you are not a racist, tell me how you condemn racism in the black community, that you condemn it in Japan and Asia, that you think it is horrible in Mexico. If you support open borders worldwide, than I accept your view that it is racist to oppose immigration, but if you are one of these simpletons that curls their lip and spews out the r word everytime some white person wants to see immigration slowed, but never say a word or raise your voice to like minded concederns voiced by anyone from the politically correct groups, than you are a racist, pure and simple. I note your outrage, I take it you are used to delivering the r bomb on people with impunity.

I checked it out.
Stand Waite is there...everything is under control!

[cyborg]

I noticed... in control as always LOL

[Torie]

Stand Waite certainly does an excellent job of reinforcing stereotypes. Shudder. By the way, I have two great grandparents that fought in the same civil war battle on opposite sides. I am grateful they did not kill each other, really.

I'm pretty much done here. It was my mom's birthday today and with the weather being great here, I have little desire to continue. I will leave this link for anyone who thinks all these immigrants, both legal and illegal are here to just wash dishes and make beds.

Brazillian are mistaken for Mexicans by ordinary people all the time.

False.

Only if “ordinary people” cannot tell the difference between a Namibian, a Norwegian, and Navajo.

99% of Brazilians are descendants of either Europeans or Africans.

90% of Mexicans partly or whole descendants of Amerindians

I think Pat's article was racist. Somehow you've turned that into an accusation that I'm a racist and a simpleton.

I didn't hurl insults at anyone, unlike you. You even accuse me of being outraged, while you're the one who's obviously out of control.

I'm not going to try to convince you of anything. You obviously know nothing of my previous postings on immigration or anything else about me. That's fine.

But now I know how you think, and how much value to place on your future rants.

I am grateful they did not kill each other, really

That is scary isn't it?

[ronnieb]

You didn't hurl insults? you called Pat Buchanan a racist,(his article) same thing, then you misrepresent a point against immigration as being on the basis of skin color, and then call the argument "racist" and therefore the person who made the argument a racist. You drop the "r" bomb on two people and say you insulted no-one. Right! I think that accusing people of being racist is nothing short of intellectual bolshevism. You should dish not that garbage out if you don't like it thrown back in your direction. Your "who me" act is unbecoming.

[Dog Gone]

I said the article was racist. How that equates in your mind to me calling two people racist is a little unclear to me.

You're the one hurling the racist slur at me. I was talking about the article.

Now please go to hell.

[Dane]

Agnkor Kat and Machu Pichu must have been swell once upon a time....can we do a "Where Are They Now" on those great civilizations?

Sure let's add in the people who built Stonehenge and the Roman Colisseum into the mix.

BTw, your pecan pie is loaded...lol

I don't why you had to publicly mention that you had to unload that, but what the hey, to each his own in what they think is humor.

[French-American Republican]

If you think Pat of ronnieb is a racist, then you have no empathy for those who suffer from the mass political fellating of those oh so benevolent immigrants from south of the border.
