VDH wrote “Mexifornia” in 2003.
Yeah. I read all that, remember him talking about it.
He recommended assimilation at that point. His daughter married a Mexican guy. The anarcho-tyranny of the Leftist Establishment here is something he talks about as if it’s going away, but says nothing about how to make it go away.
When did VDH advocate say, mass deportation a la Operation Wetback? Or maybe forcing a governor to appeal 187 to the SCOTUS? Didn’t hear him say anything when Kevin De Leon lead the state legislature in repealing 187, a proposition passed by the electorate by a lopsided 60-40 vote.
Sorry. VDH is a squish who’s late to the party. He can properly identify the outrageous contradictions that have now gutted California’s status as an American state, but he has no stomach for the real solution.
When he finally does go there, it will be far too late, as it really is now.
“And Utah too, worse luck”
Yeah and they took the Slave Class with them. Which is why Salt Lake - about 0.1% “Hispanic” in 1980 - is now 20% Hispanic (!!!) just 40 years later, after being lilly white for Oh, since the place was settled after Brigham Young said “this is the place” at the bottom of Emigration Canyon.
Hanson isnt very good with the war between the States or history about the South.
Reg, Maybe you are right...
“The four solutions to the mess that Hanson enumerates include continuing de facto open borders but...”

What really changed was when those charlatans, the psychologists, started those “boot camps” for gang members and youthful offenders. So many gang punks were sent here. The treatment programs, like all psychology garbage, were completely worthless. But California got to send a lot of its criminals here. It’s not the number of Hispanics as much as it is the increase in criminal gang members.
re: “California is a neo-Confederate state with a “sick fixation” on ethnicity and race”
At some point, you DO have to ‘call it’ ...
What you said.
I long ago recall VDH looking across CA farm country and sympathizing with the Romano-Gauls who watched German tribes rush the Rhine frontier.
Shove your squish shit.
Hanson for his reasons both hates the South and Confederates. A decade so he devoted a large part of one of his books to having an intellectual orgasim over the glorious liberating operation known as Sherman’s March to the Sea.
I like VDH until he starts going all Yankee on me.
He’s a damn idiot
I did not know about this. Thank you for putting his current comments into context.
His problems may be deeper than standard ignorance.
Why would he be expected to notice what you have been living for the last 30 years?
bump
The lie just won't die.
It won't die because it is not a lie.
Shove it up your butt, punk.
Got something respectful to say, do so. Otherwise move on.
I like VDH, but he has his limitations.
