America no longer white, united, English-speaking

In 1960, when JFK defeated Nixon, America was a nation of 160 million, 90 percent white and 10 percent black, with a few million Hispanics and Asians sprinkled among us.

We were one nation, one people. We worshipped the same God, spoke the same English language, studied American history and English literature, honored the same heroes, read the same books, watched the same TV shows, went to the same movies and saw ourselves as defenders of Western civilization against the godless communism of the Soviet Empire.

We were confident and proud of who we were. That was yesterday. But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever. And as one studies the latest projections of the Census Bureau, the America of our grandchildren will be another country altogether, a nation unrecognizable to our parents, a giant Brazil of the North.

In 2050, there will be three times as many people living here as in 1960 -- 420 million. White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. Hispanics in the United States, more than 100 million, will be equal to the population of today's Mexico. Our Asian population will be almost as large as our African-American population today.

By countries of origin, America will be a Third World nation. Our cities will look like Los Angeles today. Los Angeles and the cities of Texas, Arizona and California will look like Mexico City.

Writing in Foreign Policy, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington, author of Who We Are, raises an alarm about the huge infusion of Hispanics into the Southwest, and for many reasons.

Much of this mass immigration is illegal. Vast numbers are coming here only to work. They are not assimilating. They do not want to become Americans. They are concentrating in states bordering Mexico, which is their country and a nation with a historic grievance against us. They are holding on to their language and culture, creating a Hispanic nation within our nation. By 2050, there will be scores of millions of people living here whose loyalty is to a foreign country.

Moreover, as multiculturalism has captured our schools and colleges, immigrant children will have prejudices and grievances against America and the West reinforced as they learn. The academic elite that controls these schools already paints America as a nation with a rancid history of genocide, slavery, racism, oppression and imperialism.

Is the Census Bureau future the future that Americans wish? No. Are they willing to risk it for their grandchildren? No.

Why, then, does that future appear inevitable?

Answer: Though a majority of Americans wish to preserve the land they grew up in for their children, our elites -- political, academic, cultural and corporate -- are either unwilling to conserve that America or indifferent to its disappearance.

Most Americans want immigration cut back and all illegal aliens sent back. Why is the will of the majority, expressed in polls and referenda, not reflected in law or policy? Because we no longer live in a democratic republic; we are ruled by a managerial elite.

America's corporate elites want an endless supply of cheap labor. Our judges throw out popularly enacted laws to which they object. Our academic elites work to see ''white, racist America'' disappear. Our neo-Marxist cultural elites wish to be the gravediggers of the West and of Christian culture. And America's conservative party, the Republican Party, believes that Hispanics hold the key to retention of presidential power and is anxious not to offend Mexican President Vicente Fox.

If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.

"most Latinos are white"?

Bull. You are talking out of your a$$.

Most Mexicans and Central American coming to this country illegally and legality are Mestizos.

From the CIA fact book for Mexico: mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1%.

The white Mexicans are not coming to this county; the poor Indian and heavy Indian mestizo are who are flooding this county.

I was in Costa Rica for the second time in two years this February, where I rented a car and drove nearly a thousand miles in a very small country. I wanted to make sure that the country is as terrific as I thought it was on my first trip there.

All construction must meet strict government standards for earthquake survival, so even the poorest of Costa Ricans lives in a solid house. Money does go a long way there. You could rent a large, modern American-style home for $350 per month. Your electricity bill would be about $22 per month. Your grocery bill might be $30 per week at supermarkets that have modern bar code scanners, just like here. It's just that your fresh pineapple is going to be about 50 cents, and that's with the weak dollar.

You can watch American television on DirecTV, and there is good cellphone coverage. Movie theatres show American films with SPANISH subtitles, which are a little bit of a nuisance since just about everybody speaks perfect english.

You'll find KFC, Burger Kings, and Taco Bells, and the people behind the counter speak english, unlike in America.

Costa Rica has exceptional health care and hospitals. Most of the doctors received their degrees in American medical schools. Health care is cheap. Many Americans have discovered that you can get cosmetic surgery performed in Costa Rica for a fraction of what it would cost here.

So, it's a little misleading to use per capita GDP to compare countries when the cost of living is so different between them.

One thing you may not have noticed. Illegal aliens caught in the US come from Mexico and other Central American countries. I've never heard of a Costa Rican illegal alien, and I'll bet no one here has.

"....But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever."

Well, what do you expect when complacent American sheeple elect subversive socialists to "rule" over them? (vis. "Mad Maddie Albright" saying that they [the Clintoon administration] were not about even trying to maintain the sovereignty of the United States.)

QED Unfortunately, Pat's right on the money with this one.

[Bonny Dick]

So far, only white people and Japanese seem to have managed to develop and run first world nations. The jury is out on the others.

Your pic looks like Amerindian kids rather than Mestizos. Do you have an agenda or something? I met a guy from Mexico the other day cutting tile who could not speak English that looked totally Caucasion. As I said to the owner of the tile company, yeh you look more Mexican than he does. What's you background? He said half Dutch and half American Indian. LOL. And so it goes.

[Bonny Dick]

CIA fact book, Guatemala:

Mestizo (mixed Amerindian-Spanish or assimilated Amerindian - in local Spanish called Ladino), approximately 55%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian, approximately 43%, whites and others 2%

Latinos are only considered white when they commit crimes, according to the FBI crime statistics.

Beirut was NOT a multi-cultural city. It was a Lebanese city, it was a multi-religious city, but all the people were Semitic in origin.

Look up the definition of multicultural and get back to me.

[Bonny Dick]

"Most Cubans and South American spanish speaking immigrants are indeed Caucazoid primarily"

CIA Fact Book for Cuba:

mulatto 51%, white 37%, black 11%, Chinese 1%

[iconoclast]

But you don't believe that is because they were white, do you?

This seems to have become the point for many of you here. If I did, would that make my statement untrue?

[cyborg]

Mulattas are considered white in those countries.

[Alberta's Child]

I could never understand how a white guy with no kids could be so obsessed with America's "demographic problem."

[LWalk18]

So, the majority of white people look like they come off of a Swiss Miss box? How many white people on this thread look like the girl in the picture?

[LWalk18]

Most of the Cuban-Americans here currently are white by anyone's standard other than say TLI's.

[cyborg]

Yeah I really wonder. Please if they go to my mother's country or to the Meditteranean they'd be shocked at what white people look like. Whatever.

[Dog Gone]

People are constantly telling me that I look like a five-year old girl from Finland.

[TLI]

pic looks like Amerindian kids rather than Mestizos. Do you have an agenda or something?

For the internet challenged . . .
Pleast note the internet location of the pix . . .

http://www.webcolombia.com/colombia/Raza_Mestizos_Zamboa_y_Mulatos_1.jpg

It is from COLOMBIA, "Raza" translates to "race" and I hope you can make the association of "Mestizos" to your question regarding "Mestizos."

I have no agenda beyond refusing to be a government sheep.

[iconoclast]

Yes, from India, a democracy that is now holding it's elections with nearly half a billion voters, a nation like the US which has been a democracy since it's independence. Strong Republican tendencies

Yep, that's the country I want to emulate. I don't think many know that we are talking about culture here, not race or ethnicity. And, yes, there is such a thing as American culture.

Incidentally India cured it's biggest "diversity" problem by carving off a portion of their country. A solution that I would not be surprised to see our own nation resort to in the next few decades.

Reading the comments here. Some of this stuff is ridiculous.

1. It's time for the census and other government places to stop classifying me by race. It's not their business. This should be a color blind society, and it can start there.

2. Are "Latinos" white? Some are. Some are American Indian. Some are black. Some are of mixed ancestry. What does it matter?

3. Pat is right about illegal immigration. Include all points of origin.

4. Those that come here need to learn English, and their kids need to learn English.

5. Azlan, LaRaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Orange Order, IRA types, Nazis, and Communists (and any such group I did not mention) need to get the hell out of my country.

[cyborg]

You're right... depressing that a lot of the disputes in this thread stems from a government not listening to any concerns. I don't bother because I have two senators who could care less.

[Alter Kaker]

This seems to have become the point for many of you here. If I did, would that make my statement untrue?

Yes. American founding fathers wrote what they wrote because of access to European enlightenment tradition, not because of melanin content of their skin.
