The reverse migration

So much for the multiculturalist theory of inevitable, unstoppable, one-way migration:

Consider Ireland’s capital, which earned the nickname Dublinski after roughly 180,000 Poles, Czechs and other Eastern Europeans went there in search of work after the European Union expanded in 2004. Now, a stunning rise in the unemployment rate, currently 10.4 percent, is making even the most recent arrivals rethink their plans.

“Since 2000, there has been a resurgence of intra-European migration,” said Rainer Muenz, a migration scholar who is head of research and development at Erste Bank in Vienna. “To a certain extent, that’s clearly unwinding now.”

Between April 2008 and the end of this month, as many as 50,000 workers are likely to have returned home from Ireland, mostly to Eastern Europe, according to Alan Barrett of the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin.

Of course, it would be deeply racist for anyone to believe that Mexicans should follow suit and return to Mexico. Poles, Czechs and Romanians may be many things, but it is undeniable that one thing they are not is Mexicans. And since, as has often been asserted by the pro-immigration set, some Mexicans are good for the economy and the nation, it is obvious that more Mexicans would be even better. And therefore, it logically follows that the optimal situation rests upon the maximum number of Mexicans migrating to the United States as soon as possible.

I, for one, am convinced and I will not be satisfied until every last Mexican is happily ensconced within the borders of the United States and the entire nation of Mexico is an empty, windswept land inhabited solely by vultures and gila monsters. Una nación azteca! Sí, se puede!
