The article mistakenly applies the justifiably dim view Enoch Powell and Winston Churchill the younger took of immigration into Britain--mostly of Muslims from South Asia--to the American circumstance.

Legal immigration of South American and Central American Roman Catholics, of Eastern European Orthodox Christians, of Russian Jews, or of East Asian Confucianists, Buddhists, Shintoists, or Protestants (this last mostly from South Korea) even in numbers trebling the current quotas is not going to destroy America.

The same attitude against immigration met the Germans, the Irish, the Italians, the Greeks, the Poles. The notion that Mexicans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, or any of the other groups listed above (which I chose as they all show up in the 25% immigrant statistic for California), are somehow different is unsupportable.

Muslims, however, for obvious reasons drawn from the politicized, triumphalist and violence-prone nature of their 'revelation', are a different matter. Unless or until some sea-change in the dominant school of Koranic interpretation so that the verse of the sword is subordinated to the pacific suras, rather than the reverse, civilized nations have every reason to exclude Muslims.

While some groups are more threatening than others, enough unassimilated immigrats will destroy us regardless of nation of origin.

Mexicans, however, because of historical conflicts and resentment between the US and Mexico over now-sovereign US territory, socialist beliefs, widespread culture of corruption, and the violence-prone nature of their country of origin, are a different matter.

I see plenty of Mexican flags flying here in California. And it's not because they are showing appreciation for their heritage.

Let us be honest: the permanent political class have decided that Mexicans and others from South America, will be easier to dupe and will not complain as much about taxes and political corruption.

Therefore, the borders are being deliberately left open for the express purpose of watering down everyone else's vote.
