The Immigration Transformation (Mark Steyn)
National Review Online ^ | MAY 3, 2013 | Mark Steyn

Most countries in the world have irrelevant numbers of “immigrants.” In the Americas, for example, only Canada, America, and the British West Indies have significant non-native populations. In Mexico, immigrants account for 0.6 percent of the population, and that generally negligible level prevails all the way down through Latin America until you hit a blip of 1.4 percent with Chile and 3.8 percent in Argentina. There’s an isolated exception in Belize, which, like the English Caribbean, has historical patterns of internal migration within the British Commonwealth, such as one sees, for example, in the number of New Zealand–born residents of Australia. But profound sweeping demographic transformation through immigration is a phenomenon only of the Western world in the modern era, and even there America leads the way.

Over 20 percent of all the immigrants on the planet are in the United States. The country’s foreign-born population has doubled in the last two decades...

--snip--

Speaking of demographic clout, the main reason for not importing 33 million Canadians is that they’re supposedly a bunch of liberal pantywaists and the Republican party would never be elected to anything ever again. But fortunately 33 million Latin Americans are, as we’ve been assured time and again by Charles Krauthammer and other eminent voices, “a natural conservative constituency” — which I think translates into Spanish as “una parte del electorado conservador natural.” I Googled this phrase and it got no hits, so perhaps Dr. Krauthammer got lost in translation. But I’ll take his word for it that, once America assumes the demographics of California, the Republican party will be unstoppable.

--snip--

Beneath the phony “triggers,” an already rapid transformation of America is about to be speeded up. An informed citizenry would trade all the triggers for a straight answer to one simple question:

Why?

Why? Because the Left sees white Americans as evil and the Pub’s see cheap labor. It hasn’t helped that this country’s so enamored of abortion.

North American Union.

No they won’t announce it. They’ll just do it.

Are you prepared?

They are importing voters to replace all the ones murdered by their base (abortion). Doctors and engineers might be republicans.

Welfare deadbeats, not so much.

Limbaugh had a great segment today on the GOP’s pandering to Hispanics.

Romney would have had to get 73% of the Hispanic vote, more than Obama’s cut in 2012, to win the election. Hispanics are not why Romney lost.

The idiots in the GOPe are on a fool’s errand.

Every new arrest in the Boston Marathon bombing reveals some laughably obvious breach of the system. Alert to the possibility that the involvement of various hardworking immigrants in the recent unpleasantness might not be the best advertisement for his bill, John McCain is now proposing that the United States look more carefully at admitting persons “from countries that have histories such as Dagestan and Chechnya and others where there has been significant influence of radical Islamic extremism.” Incendiary Chechens is nothing a bit more bureaucratic oversight can’t cure.

The GOP and Dems see the new crop of immigrants as being tolerant of Big Corrupt Government.

Mexicans and others love love love getting free stuff here. They can’t get anything for free in the homelands. But here they have Gov’t and charities waiting on them hand and foot. Many/most work but at the same time are ripping off our social welfare system in the wife (girlfriend) and kids names

Why? Well thats simple, it’s EVIL for white folks to have a nation. It must NEVER again surface on the Earth. They do horrible things like put flags on the moon and such. It’s just not fair!
