What is distressing about this is that the American people have never favored open immigration and an exchange of populations. The demographic transformation, whatever its eventual cultual and political outcomes, has been engineered by political elites angling for power, and at every moment of decision has been driven against majority popular opinion.

Since we are about to become a majority minority country, we have just once chance to get it right or we'll balkanize. We need to commit to race neutrality and treating people as individuals, period. But the race hustlers oppose that, so we are probably headed towards generations of conflict. Sad.

Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with the transformation - it was going to happen. This country is built upon thousands of years of God knows how many American Indian tribes shoving each other aside, then Anglos shoving the American Indians aside, now other groups are shoving them aside. Hell, my ancestors were Spaniards who came to the Americas nearly 500 years ago.

What I have a problem with is the Republicans and Democrats who don't want to deal with the issues of illegal immigration, and in fact want to accelerate and encourage it with "guest worker" programs and amnesty.

Look at George W. Bush - he was pushing a guest worker program not long after Texas had become a minority-majority state. I found that very odd.

I also have a problem with the fact that Republicans aren't making serious attempts at connecting with Hispanics. Many Hispanics are a lot more conservative than people think, but the Republicans seem intent on just giving up to the Democrats.
