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.
I happen to have had very positive life experiences with Mexicans. I have a very positive attitude toward them. All that being said, it has never for a moment lead me to an attitude of throwing the gates wide open.
Maybe you're STARTING to get it (just starting).
Now try to digest this: our civilization is MUCH closer to England than to France.
Nes pas?
Thank you! There are several people on this thread who do not agree with that, but they're wrong.
That must be why they mostly have names like Rodrigues, Cardones, Gonzales, and so forth. The Spanish conquered what is now Mexico first, although not by all that much. The old Spanish Colonial cities of St. Petersburg (FL, USA), San Juan (Puerto Rico, USA), Campeche (Campeche MX), and Barranquilla (Columbia) have much in common. They are/were all walled cities. The walls designed to keep out the pirates (who were often English). Campeche calls their baseball team "The Pirates" (Los Piratas).
The Mexicans are not related to South American peoples, except in so far as they share Spanish ancestry, and Amerind ancestry, although the Amerind ancestors represents a large diversity of cultures. (Aztec, Maya, Inca, and many others)
And what else is new?
Most probably Mr. Blythe, of Grayson county, Texas. But maybe not the Mr. Blythe who was married to his mother and killed in a car wreck before he was born. (the Arkanicides may have started really early? His mother was an Arkie ). His father may have been that Mr. Blythe's married brother.
And just maybe for the defense of their culture? A country has the right to do that when their country is being invaded by a foreign nation, just like America is.
