The joys of immigration

David Frum considers a bleak future for the GOP:

Maybe you’ve heard about the recent polls showing a huge Democratic advantage among young voters. The latest, conducted by Stanley Greenberg for the Democracy Project, shows (among other dismal tidings) a 19-point party identification lead for Democrats among voters younger than 30.

Read the report in full, however, and you come across an interesting nugget on page 6: White young people continue to favor Republicans by a thin but real margin of 2 points. The Democrats owe their advantage among youth to a huge lead among young African-Americans (78 points) – and a very large lead (43 points) among Hispanics.

In the past, Republicans could win elections despite their unpopularity among ethnic minorities. But with the huge surge of immigration since 1980 – and especially since 2000 – the voting map of the United States has been redrawn in ways inherently deeply unfavorable to the GOP. If Republicans face an inhospitable future after 2008, we will hear much of the dreadful legacy of George W. Bush on social issues, the war, the environment, etc. But Greenberg’s own work makes clear that these issues matter relatively little.

Welcome to Third World America! I realize that all of the parochial Americans who have never actually travelled outside of the United States and are brainwashed by 16 or more years of Celebrating Diversity and the wonders of multiculturalism genuinely believe that there’s no reason to be appalled by the racial and cultural developments of the last forty years.

And when those innocents finally begin to discover that barbarians tend to behave like barbarians no matter where they are, I will be the one laughing at you.

Ending immigration now is the only chance that conservatives have left to preserve any remnant of historical America. Too bad the Republicans are working so hard to preserve the very thing that will destroy them for good.
