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.
Huh? That still doesn't negate the fact that the majority of immigrants are Christian.
Regarding non-white nations excluding whites from immigrating there:
I'd like to see a few million white Christians try to immigrate into any of the following: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Indonesia, anywhere in Africa (12 million square miles), Israel (okay- it's pretty small), Vietnam, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Mexico, Central America, Central asia, etc. etc. etc. Don't hold your breath waiting for the entry visas or citizenship applications to be approved. And these are people who would immediately lift the quality of life in such places by a dramatic amount.
I realize that given current demographics and conditions, whites generally don't NEED (because of low birthrates) or WANT (because of their existing high standard of living and quality of life) to emigrate anywhere. But the double standard is clear. All successful white societies are EXPECTED to take in non-whites from across the world, and are called racist if they demur. But nearly all other nations jealously guard their own nations regarding religous and ethnic inflows.
Regarding "asians" not all being part of one race, I'm not talking about classifying people according to scientific methods, or anayzing their DNA. I'm talking about how THEY see themselves, how they are perceived, and how they react to others around them.
Here's the bottom line: one hundred years from now, China, Japan, Africa, Indonesia, the Middle East, Central and South America, etc., will still remain strongholds primarily containing the ethnic/racial groups that currently dominate those regions. Not so regarding North America, Europe and Australia.
Cause for concern? Seems to me it is. Have racial/ethnic groups in the past infiltrated a new region and then acted in concert with their stronghold of origin to annex or dominate new territory? Have such groups ever oppressed the former dominant group of the infiltrated region? Big "yes" to both. Every race or ethnic group has behaved in this way at some point. I just don't want to be on the receiving end, thanks for asking. As a famous historian once said (I think it was A.J.P. Taylor) "History is nothing more than the migration of tribes". Not pretty to be on the receiving end of such migrations, especially when there's resentment that might suddenly turn to ugliness.
Some people don't want to discuss such issues aloud. Why?
They have been discussed for years In America with the same calls that America was being overrun.
First it was the Germans, then the Irish, then the Italians, then the Poles, then the Jews, and now people from Latin America.
History is not on your side about your concern. Your concern has been proven wrong in the last 225 years.
They're living with it. Anyone who is actually living with it to a great extent understands that unlimited immigration is not in the best interests of our country. Those of us in the border states realize it, and we are paying the price for it in every way possible.
The source for this please.
Pat Buchanan himself. He is all for such Peronist policies as having the government forbidding foreign investment, dictating to business how to run their business for nationalist purposes, etc.etc.
About ten years ago, I found a 1954 Encyclopedia Britannica with Yearbooks from 1943 through 1979 for $20 at a Friends of the Library sale.
It is useless for learning about the latest discoveries in biotech but it is an invaluable resource for history prior to it's publication date. What other general reference will describe the Battle of Tannenberg in three full large pages with small print? The newer Encyclopedia Britannicas seem like Reader's Digest condensed books by comparison.
Like California already has? The numbers here are overwhelming, and the taxpayers know it!
You're trying to put a spin on out of control, illegal immigration. We're not buying it.
Well, gee I can't help it if you hate the fact that Latin America is overwhelmingly Christian.
I did a search on this and found ONLY innuendos like this (from FAR LEFT journalists attempting to smear Pat).
Of course I would never suggest anything like this of you.
I did not seek your OPINIONS, I ask again for your source for this smear.
Certainly --- just ask the American Indians --- assimilation doesn't always happen -- sometimes you get pushed onto reservations by the new group who won't assimilate --- they can tell you the dangers of open borders and unlimited immigration and waiting too long to worry about it better than anyone.
Pat Buchanan himself.
He is in the economic vein of Juan Peron, like it or not.
The Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Central Americans, etc. coming to the U.S. push for the adoption of THEIR language as an offical tongue in the United States, equal with english. They violate U.S. laws consistently (arriving illegally, avoiding taxation, committing crime at an astronomical rate compared to whites). The Arab/Muslim immigrants plan to turn the U.S. into an Islamic state. Hey OK!- so only 40% of them are thumbs up on that one- that's a problem in my eyes. The Chinese are from a nation with which we will probably be in a shooting war within 20 years.
While history is full of Cassandra-like pronouncements of doom, it is also full of Ostrich-head-in-the-sand acts that make plain truths staring one in the face invisible.
Lastly, I'd like to know if some of you believe that there is an active agenda to make America a non-white nation, or are intersecting priorities (cheap labor/low wages, need to grow the captive consumer markets, desired influx of Democratic-voting immigrants) simply making use of whatever human material is needed to bring these about, and that the current available humans to implement these goals are non-white people.
