Will America Survive to 2050?

 

By Patrick J. Buchanan

"In 376 a large band of Gothic refugees arrived at the Empire's Danube frontier, asking for asylum. In a complete break with established Roman policy, they were allowed in, unsubdued. They revolted, and within two years had defeated and killed the emperor Valens -- the one who had received them -- along with two-thirds of his army, at the battle of Hadrianople."

 

So writes Oxford's Peter Heather in "Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians," who is convinced that Valens' welcoming of the Goths was the decision that sealed the fate of the empire.

 

As recent headlines tell us of 5 million more immigrants having arrived in America in the last five years, we see now, no longer as through a glass darkly, how America ends.

 

There are 36 million immigrants here, a number almost equal to all who ever came from Jamestown in 1607 to JFK. We are host to more illegal aliens, 12 million, than all the Jews, English and Irish who came over 400 years.

 

In George W. Bush's tenure, 6 million intruders have been caught on our Southern border breaking in. One in 12 had a criminal record. Behind them, waiting to see if Bush will grant amnesty or secure the border, are the world's 4 billion to 5 billion people whose average income is less than that of Mexico.

 

Last year, 155,000 OTMs ("other than Mexicans"), triple the number of 2003, from Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia were caught. Four of five never appeared in court. They vanished into our midst.

 

These numbers are astronomical by any historical standard, and the mindset of many newcomers is not that of the Ellis Island generation. On May 1, almost a million Hispanics marched under Mexican flags through Los Angeles to demand the rights of U.S. citizenship for all illegals. Aerial shots revealed huge signs reading, "This is Our Land," and, "Chicano Power" In Mexico City, PAN party members marched beside communists and Subcommandante Marcos in solidarity with their kinsmen in America.

 

"With all due respect to Uncle Sam," declaimed one Mexican TV reporter, "this shows that Los Angeles has never stopped being ours."

 

Added the respected Mexican pundit Sergio Sarmiento, if Mexicans "have begun the reconquista of the territory that the United States took by force from Mexico between 1835 and 1848, they have been able to do this thanks to the fact that the Americans themselves have permitted it."

 

And so we have. In 1994, Californians sought to slow the invasion with Proposition 187, restricting welfare to U.S. citizens and legal aliens. After 187 won in a landslide, a federal judge threw it out. "Art" Torres, chairman of the California Democratic Party, exulted, "187 was the last gasp of white America in California."

 

So it appears to have been.

 

In the '90s decade, for the first time since the Spanish arrived, the white population of California fell. Native-born Californians are heading over the mountains back to the lands whence their ancestors came. By ethnic origin, California and Texas are already Third World states. Hispanics alone account for 25 percent of the population of Arizona, 34 percent of California and Texas, 43 percent of New Mexico, and growing shares of the population of Nevada, Colorado and Utah, all states carved out of Mexico.

 

Moreover, ethnic chauvinism is rampant in the barrios. As in the movements of Evo Morales in Bolivia and Ollanta Humala in Peru, barrio talk in America is increasingly about "indigenous peoples" and "European occupiers." A black-brown war has broken out among the underclass in Los Angeles. Three in five Mexicans now believe the Southwest is stolen land that belongs to Mexico.

 

By 2050, the Census Bureau estimates 102 million Hispanics will live in America, heavily concentrated in the Southwest. The ethnic, linguistic and cultural reconquest of the American Southwest by Mexico is well advanced.

 

As I write in my new book, "State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America," George Bush may go down in history as the man who not only lost the magnificent lands won for America by James Polk, but, by refusing to do his duty and halt this invasion, ensured the Balkanization and dissolution of his country.

 

Not to worry, we are told. The Melting Pot will work its magic. In a generation, the scores of millions who have come here will be assimilated and Americanized, as were the millions who came to Ellis Island.

 

The hope is delusional. The Melting Pot is broken. Our elites want it smashed forever. They no longer believe in assimilation -- they worship at the altar of diversity. And millions of aliens are adamant about retaining their own language, culture, identity and allegiance to the mother country, not the United States.

 

The "hyphenated-Americanism" Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson decried is today celebrated. On California's campuses there are separate dorms, fraternities, sororities, student centers and graduations for Asian, Hispanic and black students. The tens of millions coming endlessly from countries, cultures and civilizations whose peoples have never before been assimilated into a First World nation may spell the end of America as one nation and one people by mid-century. Why are we taking this risk?

Immigrants are good, but not way to many. we are taking on way too many illegals and legals and its hurting America. not to mention many want to conquer the southwest.

 

History teaches us this type of things destroys nations. i know many people on here like camille seem to want to ignore lessons history has taught us. but we cant for the sake of our future.

 

" Three in five Mexicans now believe the Southwest is stolen land that belongs to Mexico." immigrants are good, but too many too fast and ones who wont assimiliate into america and a majority who want to conquer america are bad.

 

"During the 45 years leading up to the Immigration Act of 1965, 10 million immigrants came to the U.S. and were successfully integrated into American culture. But the onset of mass immigration since the late 60s has overwhelmed our ability to assimilate. This year, 1.3 million more immigrants will pour into the U.S. - 400,000 of them illegal aliens. If America is to survive as one nation, we must stem this tide to mend the melting pot and assimilate the 28 million foreign-born already living within our borders."

Its arguable that your president's foreign policy and own financial policies are hurting the country far more than illegal immigrants.

 

I'm not going to calculate if its the same proportions to population size, but the vast influx of immigrants from Eastern European countries to the UK doesn't seem to be hurting us very much.

It should be pointed that when the goths came onto roman land, they were accepted in only becasue there was a war in Persia and the emperor couldnt handle both problems so he let them in.

 

the Goths just wanted Land to live in peace - they had been pushed there by hunnic pressure so they wanted to live in the empire and be protected by it. However the local romans treated them like shit and one botched assaination attempt by the local roman commander pushed the Goths into conflict with the Romans.

 

Rome didnt fall because it was overwhelmed by Barbarians. It fell because they couldnt stop fighting amongst each other and failed to understand the Barbabians.

 

Even as late as 468AD the western Roman Empire couldve been saved.

 

Its all in that same book Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians by Peter Heather.

 

Pat Buchanan has a selective memory

 

Its on my bookshelf, its a very intresting read and everyone should read it.

Pat Buchanan is an idiot. :nice:

 

I just don't see how closing borders helps... I mean the President himself said back in 2002 that closing borders enables the terrorists to win because we are succumbing to the fear..... so, why do it?

 

sure it might weed out a few bad apples here and there... but this seems to be more about racism than terrorism... I don't see such a fuss happening on the northern exposure....

Anyway - All empires fall in the end. America is the only real empire at the moment.

Pat Buchanan is an idiot. :nice:

Don't worry, the borders will not be closed....

Of course you dont, you are narrowminded with a lack of understanding thing in history.

 

economically, socialy, and safety we cant handle this.

of course I don't what??? I am in agreement that something needs to be done.... but closing borders isn't the answer. How can I not care??? Its MY tax dollars that these illegals are benefiting from.... no matter what!

 

now who's the narrowminded one... lol

 

-- PS- I love the way you totally ignored what your boy Dubbya said... lol nice!

Closing the border IS the solution.....deport illegals and keep them out, we'd have no more trouble.....

 

no illegals, no problem with them. its quite simple. pull all our troops out from across the world after we finish iraq, stay out of other countries bussiness, put some troops on the borders.

 

it'll solve many problems, from overseas to economic, to the illegal immigration issue.

isn't closing the border the exact opposite of what Dubbya said??? Aren't we then giving in to the fear????

Bush is an idiot.

:lol: now he's an idiot!! Thats nice.... lol what the hell happened to you?? Did someone hit you on the head with a coconut? :lol:

economically' date=' socialy, and safety we cant handle this.[/quote']

So shouldn't you be sorting out your economy and social systems?

I'm not sure what you mean by safety though

:lol: now he's an idiot!! Thats nice.... lol what the hell happened to you?? Did someone hit you on the head with a coconut? :lol:

 

At first he was doing good but now as time passes we see more and more of how bad a president he is, with the immigration issue, Iraq, not doing enough about terrorism. the dude's not even a conservative.....big spending, big goverment....

 

hmm i have a feeling since i feel thtis way, you'll all of a sudden like bush...:laugh3:

So shouldn't you be sorting out your economy and social systems?

Yes, and we cant do that with so many illegals coming in.

thus is one of the main problems with this.

$50 bucks says that the US is gonna crack and fall like the Roman Empire in the future. not the near future, but in the future.

 

although $50 would equal...i dunno...2 cents?

well almost all great empires have suffered some sort of downfall, roman, hunnic, chinese, even english. Look at how fast great britains empire was, but now they are mostly confined to their original starting position, countries that were occupied by them now have traces of their influence in their cultures. The same could easily happen to the US. But the bad part is, back then, it took hundreds of thousands of men in a great army, a military genius most of the time, and an iron will to topple an empire. Now all you need is an iron will and some nukes. Its really scary these days, there is no more noble war. If two great countries were locked in war in the 1700's say, it took military geniuses and a real army to win a war. Now most of the time all you need are the smart weapons. Thats how the next great war will be fought, smart weapons.

And propagnada!

 

The propaganda war is just as important as the war itself.

 

Its also one that America is losing.

^ *raises glass to you*

I agree, its already starting to happen.
