Auster's problem with Steyn is that Steyn will write something like:

But that's the reality: the Canada of tomorrow will be built by who shows up. For the sake of multicultural virtue, we decided to outsource the future.

Then instead of recommending some concrete step like ending immigration, Steyn will write, "Nothing much to do about it now except hope the gamble pays off."

So how is Auster's conclusion about Steyn wrong?

Thus Steyn's real message is not the conservative message of defending and restoring one's threatened civilization; it is the liberal message of surrendering to the destruction of one's civilization.

Not at all. Steyn is clearly indulging in irony. He's inviting the reader to come to his own conclusion and realize that what's happening now ain't gonna work out well.

Auster is apparently too thick to recognize it.
