So, if each one of the 6,000 National
Guardsmen was on patrol an average of, say, 21 hours per week (which is
1/8th of the 168 hours in a week), that would provide one soldier per 2.6
miles of border.

“Human

In that harbinger of the American future, Southern California, once the
Promised Land of the middle class, unskilled labor has become so plentiful
that now a common weekend sight is people who are paid to stand on corners
and try to catch your eye by randomly wiggling brightly colored
directional arrows, typically pointing to real estate open houses. It's
the 21st Century equivalent of the Depression-era advertising practice of
hiring unemployed men to walk around wearing sandwich board signs saying
"Eat at Joe's." And it's just as depressing.

While Santa Anna was a uniquely awful

difference between American and Mexican culture. He ruled Mexico five

Professional trendspotter Irma Zandl
describes her failed prediction: "We felt [in 1988] that this country
would become more Latinized. However, with the exception of food and
beverages and an occasional musician (e.g. Ricky Martin or J-Lo), we have
not seen the kind of widespread influence that we anticipated. For
example, there are still no mass fashion trends, no mass entertainment
trends, no mass social trends rooted in the Hispanic culture." How

We are
constantly told that there is no solution to the problem of illegal
immigrants crossing America's largely wide-open 1,800-mile border with
Mexico. But the $2 million/mile cost of the new Israeli fence suggests
that building a high-tech security barricade from the Pacific to the Gulf
of Mexico would be a bargain: only $3.6 billion.

Nobody seems to understand just
how tiny the Mexican-American vote actually is. This much-lusted after

1996. (My short article follows an excellent Howard Sutherland piece.)

We said over a year ago that Fox was going to turn out to be George W.
Bush's Yeltsin. We said last Fall that for the GOP to chase after the
Hispanic vote via opening the immigration floodgates further made no
electoral sense. We said in the middle of summer that Bush's amnesty plan
was going to turn out to be HillaryCare all over again. You know, gloating
has a bad reputation. But we could kind of get used to it.

These kinds of electoral calculations do not require
a Ph.D. in Mathematics. You just go look up the exit
poll results and mess around with them. So, why does it sometimes seem
like I'm the only Republican in America with Microsoft Excel? I can
guarantee you, though, lots of Democrats understand these numbers.

"Orlando Patterson has been getting a lot of
mileage lately out of the claim that whites are so
going to remain the majority in the U.S. - because
Hispanics are really white!
To take this 48% number seriously, though, you have to be as oblivious to
Latin American racial patterns and attitudes as our Census Bureau is."

"The
unexplored problem with massive mestizo immigration is that by creating a
beige servant caste, it slowly turns the wealthier native-born Americans
into a white master caste. Maybe we'll be able to withstand the
temptations inherent in this kind of society better than the whites of
Latin America, who were thoroughly corrupted by them. The history of the
American South, though, suggests that rich white Americans aren't immune
to the sinister blandishments of luxurious living based on a surplus of
cheap laborers of dusky hue."

"Racism
in Latin America has always been more insidious than in the U.S.. The
Latin method is to allow anybody with a hint of white blood to call
themselves white. Fat lot of good it does them, though. By letting mixed
race people call themselves "white," the Latin system tricks
mestizos and mulattos into imagining the game isn't rigged against them
personally - just against those poor bastards who happen to be a little
darker than they are."

Mexico's formidable new Foreign Secretary Jorge G. Castañeda has a
potential Achilles' heel. Ambrose Bierce defined diplomacy as "The
patriotic art of lying for one's country." During his long previous
career as a pundit, however, Castañeda had a habit of occasionally
telling harsh truths about his
country. He has left a paper trail of frank observations that offer
ammunition to sophisticated American critics of the Bush policy of
appeasing Mexico.

or better in tests given in English. I thought that seemed exaggerated. I
noted that on any test, half the kids must score under the 50th
percentile. She took strong exception to this.

margin of 48% to 30% in the last poll. If the Anglo Democrat Cal Dooley
(granted, there is something wacky about calling anybody named
"Dooley" an "Anglo") maintains this proportion in the
election, he wins a landslide 62% of the Latino vote.

the last 479 years of Mexican history: whites rule, mixed-race mestizos
toil, Indians endure. In a country where height is a major racial marker

Is Retarding Interracial Marriage

| "The
native-born are certainly doing their part to merge the races in
California: 'Multiracial births to native-born mothers rose dramatically
between 1982 and 1997--from about 14% to nearly 21% percent, a 50%
change.' The problem is that multiracial births to immigrant mothers,
never a large number to begin with, declined slightly to merely 7% by
1997. Since 45% of California babies are born to foreign-born mothers,
multiracials' share of the overall population is barely climbing." |

| "By providing a safety valve
that drains off Mexico's most desperate young brown men, our lax borders
have allowed Mexico's most avaricious old white men to loot their nation with
impunity. In the U.S., this mestizo influx generates ever greater quotas
and set-asides designed to propel their climb in American society. In
contrast, in Mexico all the best jobs in government, industry, and
academia are becoming ever more segregated. |

| "After an experiment lasting nearly 500 years in Latin America, intermarriage has utterly failed to eliminate racial inequality. Mestizo nations like Mexico and mulatto nations like Brazil are bywords for vast concentrations of wealth among the white ruling class contrasted with extreme poverty among the darkest citizens. In fact, in Mexico racial segregation is worsening." |

Part
3: How Latino Intermarriage Breeds Inequality
|

| "The Hispanic influx into California seems to be simply recreating the racial hierarchy of Latin America.
For example, America's leading Latino politicians tend to marry Anglos. Thus, the Mexican-American elite is likely to become even whiter over the generations.
While upwardly mobile Mexican-Americans marry blonde Anglos, downwardly mobile white men often wed Mexicans. Now, there is plenty to be said for getting hitched to a Mexican lady. But sadly, there is a big social cost to Anglo-Hispanic marriages:
'In most homes headed by an Anglo/Latino couple, Spanish becomes the household
language.'" |
