Ok tell me why Pat felt it important to write a book about "Third World" immigration? As opposed to immigration from white Europeans or Canadians? Why is that Pat finds it alarming that America may not be a majority white country in the future? Why does Pat associate the religion of Christianity with Europe when Christianity is practiced worldwide? Why does Pat not like Catholic and Evangelical immigration from Asian countries that persecute Christians?

Diversity can be good or bad. During Pax Romana, Greek and Hebrew scholars obvioulsy enhanced the knowledge and well-being of the Empire, but Gauls and Germanic tribesmen in the roman legions made the entire military weak and divisive. So selective diversity should be practiced.

Because the vast majority of immigration now occuring is "Third World" immigration.

As opposed to immigration from white Europeans or Canadians?

Presumably this is what his book expounds on. Based on current data and trends, he is extrapolating to future consequences based on current immigration policies. As I pointed out earlier if he includes Japan as one of the "undersirable" nations, then yes he probably is basing his argument on racial distinctions, otherwise it sounds like he is making cultural distinctions.

Because huge numbers of people who helped make the third world the THIRD WORLD want to pack up and bring their problems here, to the United States.

Race is immaterial, except to race baiters like you.

As opposed to immigration from white Europeans or Canadians?

Last time I checked Canada and European were part of Western Civilization. These are relatively free, stable, wealthy countries. Which means their citizens are less likely to go on the dole, or attempt to take advantage of race-based policies like affirmative action.

Why is that Pat finds it alarming that America may not be a majority white country in the future?

The race factor wouldn't matter if there were no such thing as a welfare state, affirmative action and multiculturalism. These institutions didn't exist during previous waves of American immigration, a factor most of the people who take your position choose to ignore.

Why does Pat associate the religion of Christianity with Europe when Christianity is practiced worldwide?

Do you have a quote to back this up? To my knowledge Pat Buchanan has never said Christianity is not practiced worldwide.

Why does Pat not like Catholic and Evangelical immigration from Asian countries that persecute Christians?

It's called being consistent and intellectually honest. IOW, opposing these immigrants is a necessary part of his an overall (non-racial) argument against immigration.

Many Asiatic countries are hell holes (do you disagree?), and many of those immigrants would bring more with them than Christianity, whether you will admit to it or not.

"Ok tell me why Pat felt it important to write a book about "Third World" immigration??

Because that is where the immigration is coming from? Because it is the truth?

The melting pot does not work anymore. It has been destroyed by welfare and liberalism. Only way to protect our culture, our country and our freedom is to stop the invasion of people from foreign cultures.

And how many can we take in anyways without destroying our prosperity and our standard of living?
