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.

As a matter of fact, it is,(racist) when you assume that only people of your own color can share your national cultural values.

As a matter of fact, it is racist to mistate or twist a position inorder to deliver your ugly accusation, the case against immigration is not and never has been against "the color of ones skin" it is and always has been more involved than that. As it has been throughout human history and all over the world today. Seems to me that the real racists in America are those constantly accusing others of it!

[cyborg]

I think it's the lesser of two evils anytime one chooses a politician. I do not hold them in very high regard for good reason. The people voted against funding illegal aliens in California and I'm POSITIVE it was not only conservative white males who voted for the proposition. A judge overturned that decision, the decision of the people. While I did have a lot of severe criticisms for Pat Buchanan, i also think the media would like to paint the movement to stop illegal alien entry as something exclusive to mean,evil white males. I do think the government better start listening to people otherwise when something happens on one of those ranches in Texas they'd better shut up.

I have always found that to be true.

[janetgreen]

The people voted against funding illegal aliens in California

That was Proposition 187, and it was overwhelmingly approved (and not just by white males) :^).

One liberal judge deemed it "unconstitutional", which none of us who voted for it understood. It was the other way around for us, we felt and still feel that it is unconstitutional to force people to support invaders.

[ronnieb]

The Government won't listen...the Dems need the votes, the repubs are afraid to wiggle because the media will carpet bomb them with the R word if they try to slow immigration down, all of this even though a huge majority of Americans want to give immigration a rest. The real villian is our popular culture and educational institutions, they have so intimidated people that they are afraid to speak.

They have nothing to contribute to society, and their influence will inevitably shift the American political spectrum to the left (many of them are actually communists).

And I think you assertion is unsubstantiated. Go almost anywhere, and see the Hispanics working their butts off. Go look at any construction site in the Southwest. Go chat with those workers, and then tell me that they are "communists." Garbage.

[Torie]

Do you have any data to support your assertions?

[Dog Gone]

You're calling me a racist for saying that? Are you insane?

[janetgreen]

Go look at any construction site in the Southwest

And while you're looking at construction sites, look and see how many American construction jobs have been lost to lesser paid illegal aliens who are paid in cash and who are getting free medical care. American construction workers have to pay their bills, but many of them have lost their jobs to illegals. Ask them, they'll tell you.

[cyborg]

Libs seem to believe that if such a thing was passed that folks would leave illegal aliens to die in the street. That is not the character of this country but then they wouldn't get that because they hate America.

Politicians have a lot of explaining to do. They need to cut the crap and do their job or be voted out. I see the burgeoning issues of taxes bringing this issue to a head. Why would my state ADVERTISE on the radio that food stamps are available? And the killer is that they say it's available to 'immigrants without fear'. Why would someone legal in this country have any fear? Hmmm....but I hope Bush does not go through with this amnesty plan at all.

[cyborg]

Well that's sad then. The republicans should not be so spineless.

[Torie]

Please provide the data that Hispanic construction workers are off the books, generally speaking.

[French-American Republican]

"And I think you assertion is unsubstantiated. Go almost anywhere, and see the Hispanics working their butts off. Go look at any construction site in the Southwest. Go chat with those workers, and then tell me that they are "communists." Garbage."

Working, often illegally, and stealing the jobs from the AMERICAN WORKER! A lot of these Hispanics in the Southwest become dual citizens of Mexico and the US and have communist sympathies. Vicente Fox and his successors will use them to have more leverage in US policy. The immigrants will vote for far left parties or shift the spectrum to the left. End of story.

[cyborg]

heh... if they are the union thugs wanna know!

[wardaddy]

Are South Americans Negroid?

Oh yeah. The coasts of Colombia, Venezuela, and to a lesser degree Peru and Ecuador have sizable Negroid populations. Guyana, French Guyana and Suriname have majority Negroid populations. Brasil has a Negroid population perhaps twice ours in their Northeast. All have quite large mullato populations as well. (I know you already knew all that)

[Torie]

I doubt you have ever chatted with any Hispanic construction workers. I find their values to be very similar to mine, frankly.

[janetgreen]

Data to support my assertions? I have lived here most of my life, I have eyes and ears, I have a brain, and my daughter in law works for the California government in a position where she has learned what's really going on in Sacramento.

CCIR (California Coalition for Immigration Reform), the FAIR website, www.numbersusa.com, all of these websites are very informative if you doubt what I've said. I think you already know that it's true.

[ronnieb]

Wether they work or not is not the point, their humanity isn't the question, Palistinians do lots of work in Isreal, so what? Thanks to a racist educational system that teaches immigrants they are surrounded by racist white devils, they will vote for the left, which is the racist side of America, without a doubt. The left promotes it and profits from it. The left is home of racism in America.

[wardaddy]

I am refraining from cigars even though I was given the OK for moderate use.

I do miss them but I know I lack the discipline for only (1) &^%$^&* cigar a day!

Geez...why smoke?

[Torie]

That won't cut it, Janet. Get to work, and substantiate, or just admit, you are venting your frustrations, that you dislike your servant class being browned.
