Mr. Buchanon begs to differ with your assessment.

“As Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended.”
So begins a new work of warning from Pat Buchanan.
And this time Buchanan goes all the way.
STATE OF EMERGENCY: THIRD WORLD INVASION AND CONQUEST OF AMERICA hit the streets this week and it's designed to jolt readers with stats and analysis of illegal immigration gone dangerously wild.
Buchanan warns: “The children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetimes the death of the West."
One in every twelve people breaking into America has a criminal record.
By 2050, there will be 100 million Hispanics concentrated in the U.S. Southwest.
Between 10 and 20 percent of all Mexicans, Central Americans and Caribbean people have already moved to the United States.
Every month, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehends more illegal aliens breaking into our country, 150,000, than the number of troops we have in Iraq.
[The book was ranked #571 on AMAZON's sales chart Sunday evening.]
Buchanan slams the president: “Concerned about his legacy, George W. Bush may yet live to see his name entered into the history of his country as the president who lost the American Southwest that James K. Polk won for the United States."
In EMERGENCY, Pat Buchanan charges the Mexican regime with an Aztlan Plot, a conscious campaign to use America as a dumping ground for its poor and unemployed, both to relieve social pressure and effect a cultural re-annexation of the American Southwest. La Reconquista, the reconquest of the lands lost by Mexico in the Mexican-American War, Buchanan charges, is underway.
The Republican Party, a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is in the grip of a cult called “Economism.” It is all about money now. The GOP worships at the “Church of GDP”
• Both parties are paralyzed by guilt over American past racial sins.
• Powerful Mexican and U.S. elites seek to erase America’s borders and merge the United States and Mexico into a “North American Union.”
In his controversial final chapter, “Last Chance,” Buchanan lays out a national plan to deal with the State of Emergency, before it makes an end of America:
• An Eisenhower-type deportation program, beginning with all illegal aliens convicted of felonies and every gang member not a U.S. citizen.
• A ten-year moratorium on all legal immigration, at the level JFK favored in 1958 -- 150,000 to 250,000 a year.
• A $10-billion, 2000-mile double-line security fence between the United States and Mexico, built with no apologies to Mexico City.
Developing...
Ha! So we would be spending all this money in the ME because....
Pat, put down the leather jacket and take off the skis.
Don't be an ass. That isn't anything near what I said.
I know Buchanan is wrong on most issues -- I think he's an isolationist and anti-Semite. But EVEN HE can get something right!
The fact is that his data comport with the comprehensive research study by Robert Rector of Heritage and innumerable others.
We are faced with higher (and increasing daily!) taxes for illegals. For prison incarceration, bankrupt school districts, insolvent hospitals, the drug cartel, the farce of bi-lingualism, and countless other social and economic burdens that are literally destroying our culture.
And it's astonishing that Bush and Congress appear oblivious to the national security dangers of open borders in this age of international terrorism! Do we have a death wish?
What is it with these old paleos?
Paul Craig Roberts went from an assistant Treasury secretary under Reagan to needing a drool cup under his chin with his pro-terrorist editorials.
Buchanan has never favored an Israeli state, nor does he care much for immigration, unless the immigrants are white Europeans.
So, of late, he's been reduced to complaining about Jews or Mexicans.
Pretty pathetic.
in your opinion.
is Buchanan a racist ?
If Newt talked like this I would send him a check for $1,000 tomorrow ... no ... I'd send it tonight.
If illegals are continued to be given a free pass by the Feds, they will eventually overrun the southwest. No doubt about it. So, on the immigration issue Pat Buchanan is absolutely right. People who ignore the facts, deny the truth and overlook the obvious about the illegal immigration problem facing America today, aren't serious conservatives and have no creditbility to speak of.
He's right on this, you know.
Twice per day... if it is not military time...
And Adolf might have had a point about those Bolsheviks.
The problem here is with the messenger, not the message.
Buchanan's a demonstrated racist. David Duke might get a fact or two correct from time to time as well, but it's really hard to get past his history.
Overall, I agree, but on this issue he is correct ... whether we like it or not.
Buchanan seems to have a fixation with the Roman Empire. Rome never fell; it just changed it's form of governance. Rome's power may not be what it used to be, but it still holds influence over a large portion of the world population. Same war, just new battles.
Stop on statement. God help us.
