I am glad that Pat Buchanan has made this book. It makes a strong argument for the problem that illegal immigration is causing here in the US. But what is best about this book is that he tackles the problem of the NASCO super highway which is unfortunately slow to get to the frontlines. Collectivists and their arm of government the MSM and academia love the NASCO idea. In fact many academics had a part in its creation. GOP Bush apologists spend tons of energy doing everything they can to keep this buried from the headlines and more important their constituency. Ultimately it will be Conservatives who will step forward and tackle the issue, obviously the socialist left won't and the GOP is dead. I disgaree with Buchanans guest worker program as I support deportation, but it is a good start. The key here is that it is an invasion.

Q&A: Illegal immigration imperils nation, critic says

By Bill Steigerwald

September 5, 2006

In his latest best-seller, for “State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America,” Pat Buchanan makes his case that we must move quickly to erect a stronger, more restrictive immigration policy to stop and reverse the invasion of millions of illegal Mexican immigrants across our southwestern border. If we fail to do so, says the conservative populist, the United States as we know it will disappear in 50 years. I reached the former presidential candidate, political pundit and syndicated columnist by phone on Thursday, Aug. 24 in New York City, where he was in mid-book tour.

Q: You have concerns about the harmful impact of on our economy, our culture and our politics from illegal immigration. What is the most serious problem that needs to be addressed first?

A: The first one — as in New Orleans, when the 17th Street levee broke — is before you do anything, fix the levee and stop flood. Even before you start pumping out the water, even before you start bringing folks back to their homes — fix the levee, stop the flood. We need to stop the invasion of this country with a 2,000-mile security border fence, all the way from Brownsville to San Diego.

That is the only thing that will do it, because the whole world now realizes America’s back door is now open. The numbers being apprehended along the border in the first five months of 2006 were 150,000 a month. That is more people breaking into this country each month than all the immigrants who came in the entire 1820s. That is more people breaking into the United States each month than all the troops we have in Iraq.

It is an invasion. And the president of the United States is obligated under the Constitution to stop that invasion .... That is the first thing that needs to be done. All else proceeds from that. You’ve got a lot of other steps, but that needs to be done immediately.

Q: Who or what is most responsible for this “state of emergency”?

A: The government of the United States has failed to do its duty to enforce the immigration laws. It’s failed to do its duty to protect the states of the union and the American nation from invasion. As a consequence, we’ve got more illegal aliens here than all the Jewish folks, Irish folks and English who ever came to America. This is happening because of a dereliction of duty on the part of our political class. And our social and cultural elites have condoned it. Let me say this: The state is basically betraying the nation.

Q: If this doesn’t change, if immigration isn’t restricted, and if the tide of illegals isn’t stopped and reversed, as you call for, what will America look like in

I agree in part, that the USA should patrol its borders, should limit free medical care to emergencies, etc. What I don't accept are some of his statistics (who really knows the numbers, anyway); and his attitude that seems to imply that only White folks who speak English are culturally and socially acceptable. He's barely PC enough to not sound like a bigot, but the undertones are obvious.

I like the idea of letting them bring in no more than immediate descendants and their spouse, to keep the nuclear family intact. I honestly doubt many naturalized Hispanics bring many folks from the Old Country, because it takes so long for them to finally qualify themselves.

And "wetback" isn't always a completely derogatory, insulting term. A CPA on the border referred to his client's tax deduction as "wet labor." The guy who wrote the guide for Mexicans to enter the USA illegally called it "La Guia de Los Mojados" - the wetback's guide. I've heard native citizens of the LRG Valley refer to the illegals as "mojados." But it's never a compliment.

this CAN'T be stoped ever ! american "nation" since beginning is a blend of people from all over the wolrd. especially so after WWII - when better / steadier Economical situation allowed US to "buy brains" from any country in the world, even from their major rivals Soviets. or simply give "refuge / asylum" to anyone who claimed to run away from persecution in pro-Soviet E. Europe block. then "brain pull" in 80-90s - how many hundreads of thousands of Chinese, Indians settled in US ?

and all the american values, propaganda of how America is the best place in the wolrd (freedom, land of opportunities etc) - what would you expect from all poor guys in 3rd wolrd countries, to sit and be contend back hom? biggrin.gif of course they wanna to go there, to "paradise on Earth", dreaming that dollars fall from the sky there as manna, that they are awaited in anticipating with wide opened embrace ! tongue.gif but they end up working as may be street cleaners, janitors etc. and yet - they still continue pouring in there !

while a lot of Americans (to be fair, must also mention Brits, Scandinavians, and many other Europians) somehow decide to move to Thailand or some other countries rather than stay in their own ! ever botherd to ask all those expats WHY they prefer to live elsewhere? wink.gif I did - in Taiwan, in Thailand, in Malaysia, even .... Bangladesh ! rolleyes.gif
