Buchanan warns of illegal overload
Washington Times ^ | Aug. 22, 2006 | Eric Pfeiffer

Posted on 08/22/2006 5:23:26 AM PDT by conservativecorner

Pat Buchanan says illegal immigration from poor and developing countries will overwhelm the United States and other Western countries in the next 50 years unless something is done.

"We've already won the battle with the public," Mr. Buchanan tells The Washington Times. "The question is, when will the government respond?"

In his new book "State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America," the former presidential candidate and White House speechwriter examines immigration-related social problems and documents high levels of support among Hispanics for the so-called "Reconquista" of the U.S. Southwest.

Several authors have addressed the immigration issue in recent years, but Mr. Buchanan's book -- ranked No. 2 at Amazon.com yesterday -- proposes measures to address the "emergency" that are more far-reaching than any legislation advocated by conservatives in Congress.

His plan includes deporting illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds, a 10-year limit on legal immigration set between 150,000 and 200,000 persons per year, and a $10 billion, 2,000-mile security fence along the border of the United States and Mexico.

Why only antiSemitic? He seems to be racist all around except toward those of European descent.

You're either for Amnesty or you're against it. Pat picked the right side.

On this issue Buchanan clearly understands what he is talking about. But his personality and his history will unfortunately keep many from giving what he has to say serious consideration.

as much as I disagree with Buchanan on many issues, he is spot on regarding illegals.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. lol. DITTO

I hope the data in the book gets plenty of play. However, much of the data has been published in articles. So it really isn't new information to the informed public. Buchanan credits another article writer for actually collected much of the data -- I don't recall that author's name.

How accurate are the reports of high level support for a Reconquista? Most Latino immigrants, whether they are legal or illegal, do not seem to strongly support the severance of former Mexican territory back to Mexico. They came to the United States mainly because of economics, not conquest.

More accurate than the MSM or most politicians will admit. The slow takeover of the southwest has been going on for years. That's the plan. All you need to do is look at California. The LA mayor and the Lt. Governor are both card carrying members of MEChA. Not enough Americans realize just how serious the invasion is.

Right. Why would the Mexican poor want to come here, illegally, and work to turn CA or TX or CO into a version of poor Mexico? Azlan may be the dream of radical politicos, but I doubt it is the desire of most Hispanic immigrants. An Azlan would just turn into another 3rd world nation, because its residents would be flooding to the remaining United States.

It seems that Jedi Master Pikachu has pulled it:


Shameless attempt to paint something about a person one disagrees with and make the debate about him, not what is said.

La Raza is not racist? It doesn't translate into The Race when put into English? OMG..

The National Council of La Raza's motto is "For The Race (Hispanics-Chicanos) everything. Outside The Race, nothing".

What do you think their motto means? A long distance race to the finish line?

Pat Buchanan has been preaching the downside of open borders and illegal immigration since the early 1990`s. It was part of his "culture war" political agenda versus Bush41 back in the 92 GOP campaign.

[ Most Latino immigrants, whether they are legal or illegal, do not seem to strongly support the severance of former Mexican territory back to Mexico. ]

But they are easily lead.. being peons, like they are taught in their language and culture.. The patron(boss) matters little to them.. You know like when they lived in Mexico/Central America.. Mexicos government(s) have always been Mobs.. they know nothing else.. To them Mob Rule(democracy) is the way things should be.. They will be republicans when hell freezes over..

If you think the democrats are NOT mobilizing them(10 to 20 million of them) to vote as we speak.. you must be a liberal already..

"45,000 Americans KILLED by illegals since 9/11"

Significant if correct. Can you provide a source?

Sure can...Congressman Steve King, Iowa Republican, 5th District. The information is contained in an article he wrote titled "Biting the Hand That Feeds You". If you write or call his office, they will tell you that these figures are gathered from the FBI, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, along with other sources. The '45,000' figure is a ROUGH figure calculated by running the '25 a day' figure forward from September 11, 2001, and is cited frequently.

"Why only antiSemitic? He seems to be racist all around except toward those of European descent."

Yes, you're right, how could I have forgotten?

Oppose the "One Face at the Border" initiative Email your Members of Congress asking them to oppose the "One Face at the Border" initiative

In 2003, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the creation of a new Customs and Border Protection Officer (CBPO) position and the “One Face at the Border” initiative. Under this plan, a new position, the CBPO, would combine the duties of legacy inspectors from Customs, the Immigration and Nationalization Service (INS) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) into a single front-line border security position. With 41,000 employees, CBP is in control of 317 official ports-of-entry for travelers and cargo.

Essentially, the “One Face at the Border” initiative was aimed at unifying the inspection process that travelers entering the United States have to go through. Instead of making three stops – an Immigration Inspector, a Customs Inspector and an Agriculture Inspector – travelers would meet with a single primary inspections officer who was specially trained to do the job of all three.

Consolidating these three organizations has caused logistical and institutional chaos and has taken attention away from critical homeland security priorities. It is true that all three of these organizations deal with front line border and port security, but they do so in very different capacities.

Please email your Members of Congress asking them to oppose the "One Face at the Border" initiative and support a detailed, independent review of the proposal.

This is what I have always had trouble accepting. Most Latins who come here want a job. How deep is this support for "Reconquista"? Did someone do a poll? Ask 1000 Mexicans if they think the U.S. ought to give back Texas and New Mexico, and probably a lot will say, "Yeah, sure." But in practicality how many of them are willing to subvert the law to do it? In other words is "Reconquista" a preference or a burning desire among Hispanics? I would suggest if it is anything at all it is the former, at worst.
