Pure hogwash. How is it possible that they are least educated but the most upwardly mobile?

"At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?
"I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
So said Abe Lincoln to the Young Men's Lyceum in Springfield. Observing the Senate last week, and looking over the latest figures from the Census Bureau, America is now risking national suicide.
Last week, senators meeting in secret produced a bill to legalize our 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens. If a path to citizenship becomes law, nothing will stop the next invasion. As President Bush acknowledges, 6 million tried to breach our southern border in his first five years. One in 12 – 500,000 – had a criminal record.
According to the Census Bureau, from mid-2005 to mid-2006, the U.S. minority population rose 2.4 million, to exceed 100 million. Hispanics, 1 percent of the population in 1950, are now 14.4 percent. Their total number has soared 25 percent since 2000 alone. The Asian population has also grown by 25 percent since 2000.
The number of white kids of school age fell 4 percent, however. Half the children 5 and younger in the United States are now minorities.
What is happening to us? An immigrant invasion of the United States from the Third World, as America's white majority is no longer even reproducing itself. Since Roe v. Wade, America has aborted 45 million of her children. And Asia, Africa and Latin America have sent 45 million of their children to inherit the estate the aborted American children never saw. God is not mocked.
And white America is in flight.
In the 1990s, for the first time since the Spanish came, whites left California. Two million departed. From July 1, 2005, to July 1, 2006, 100,000 more packed up and headed back whence their fathers came. The "Anglo" population of the Golden State is down to 43 percent and falling fast. White folks are now a minority in Texas and New Mexico. In Arizona, Hispanics account for over half the population under 20.
The future is not in doubt. Why ought this be of concern?
First, while the black and Hispanic population combined is now 85 million – five times what it was in 1960 – half of all black and Hispanic kids drop out of high school. And the average math and reading scores of the half who graduate are at seventh-, eighth- or ninth-grade levels.
And the future is not so sanguine as it seemed 50 years ago. As I write in "State of Emergency":
"In 1960, 18 million black Americans, 10 percent of the nation, were not fully integrated into society, but they had been assimilated into our culture. They worshiped the same God, spoke the same language, had endured the same Depression and war, watched the same TV shows on the same four channels, laughed at the same comedians, went to the same movies, ate the same foods, read the same newspapers and went to schools where, even when segregated, we learned the same history and literature and shared the same holidays: Christmas, New Year's, Washington's Birthday, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Columbus Day. Segregation existed, but black folks were as American as apple pie, having lived in this land longer than almost every other group save the Native Americans.
"That cultural unity, that sense that we were one people, is gone."
Today's immigrants exceed in number anything any nation has ever known. They now come from cultures and countries whose people have never before been assimilated by any First World country. Not only is the Melting Pot broken, it is rejected by our elites. Minorities are urged to hold onto their own language, customs, traditions. Identity politics is in. And the largest cohort, Mexicans, comes from a country with a historic grievance and a claim on the territory they are entering.
Moreover, since the cultural revolution of the 1960s, we have been fighting one another over issues of race and ethnicity, history, heroes and holidays, morality and religion, right and wrong.
All over the Western world, multiethnic, multicultural countries are coming apart over language, ethnicity, history. The Soviet Union broke into 15 nations, Yugoslavia into half a dozen. Czechs and Slovaks divorced. Scots want separation from England. Catalans and Basques seek independence. Corsicans and Bretons want out of France. Northern Italians want to secede. Only immigrants who prefer Ottawa prevent Quebecois from breaking free of Canada.
As we see from the election battles in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Mexico, race and ethnicity are not receding as issues, but rising. In South Central Los Angeles, black and Hispanic gangs are at war over race and turf.
Addressing the Knights of Columbus in 1915, Theodore Roosevelt warned, "The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities."
In every way possible, Americans have said they do not want to take this risk with their country. Why, then, are our elites taking it?
“Some estimates are 30 million.”
That’s funny. Several years back, the media reported that we had up to 20 million illegals in our country.
When the immigration debate started a year or so ago that led to the first “damn stupid” bill introduced by the senate, the MSM began to dumb down the number of illegals to “up to 12 million”
Wow! whats a million or eight among friends....right.
Our country is really broken.
How old are you? By your snarky comments and poor attempts at written judo, I would guess either high school or maybe a freshman in college.
Where did you get this statistic?
I agree with you. Some are so frenzied by the illegals problem that they will latch on to anyone who says what they want to hear, including Pat Buchanan.
The man openly opined in an article a while back for the 50s when everyone knew their place. Race is a big issue for him as he always brings it up. Then there is his acrimony towards Israel.
There are better people to support because of their stance on illegal immigration than Pat Buchanan.
" The relative magnitude of dropping out among U.S. school children is confirmed by national longitudinal studies of secondary school cohorts. In the most recent cohort study, the National Educational Longitudinal Study tracking 1988 eighth graders, 14.3 percent of Latino youth had dropped out as of 1994, compared to 5.7 percent of non-Hispanic white youth (National Center for Education Statistics, 1996). Surprisingly, Hispanic immigrant youth that are educated in U.S. schools seem to have no worse educational outcomes than native-born Hispanic youth. In fact, there appear to be no generational differences in the basic measures of secondary school performance among U.S. educated Hispanic youth. Regardless of how dropping out is defined, first, second, and third and higher generation Hispanic youth drop out of school at similar rates (National Center for Education Statistics, 1998; Driscoll, 1999).
So? You could say that about any issue. Try pointing out that Bush has been a complete failure in many important issues and the Bushbots will scream that a man can't be perfect.
This is "Camp of the Saints", American-style.
The third world will not be denied - UNLESS we are willing to deny them.
Are we willing?

Pure hogwash. How is it possible that they are least educated but the most upwardly mobile?
I’ve made most of those argument here over the years, but the koolade drinking globalist don’t care. Nice to see all the arguments rolled into a single post and presented far better then I ever did.
Pat is for American citizens first in all things including this. Some consider that anti-semitic, or anti-British, or anti-Korean, or anti-Formosan, etc.

But to be honest, I don't want to hearn any music...except for bumpers into and out of breaks. If you're going to do an issues-oriented, news-oriented talk show, the for cryin' out loud...talk about the issues and the news!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“What happens if we do crush this bill? They are still in power! 20 million still here! We already have one foot of the cliff and we are now in the middle of lifting the other...”
The point is that right now it’s epidemic. Not stopping the bill ensure the problem become pandemic. I do not think it feasibly possible to deport 20 million people. I do however, think it is possible to build the 700 mile fence, deploy 20,000 national guard and border agents to patrol the fence and elect officials whom will support the rule of law about entering and living in our country.
Ever notice how open border types always start out by saying they are anti-illegal immigration, then proceed to name all the reasons why having millions of illegals in the country is just ducky?
Yes. It’s like standing next to the tracks and not noticing a freight train.
Absolutely or how we can’t do anything. We can’t stop them from coming in, We can’t build a wall, We can’t find them, We can’t deport them. We must be the most helpless nation the world has ever known!
When the illegals come in from Mexico, most retain a great allegiance still to the “motherland”, Mexico. They must have found something in the USA to divert them.
If Romney is the nominee and wins, I predict that within one year the conservatives who backed him will be more disappointed that those who had backed Nixon in 1968 or GWB in 2000.
What is clear and most disturbing, when all the talking points and excuses are pealed away, it all boils down to those in government not representing the people and the best interest of this country.
Think of it on a very personal level. Can you imagine not representing your own family, and not looking out for their best interest? Can you imagine intentionally putting your own family in danger?
This is exactly what we have here.
I'll take the disappointment gladly if he WINS. Better him than Hillary or Obama.
