When Thomas Jefferson said that “people get the government they
deserve,” it was more than just a clever turn of phrase. It also was
not an isolated insight but a timeless truth, one expressed by many.
William Cowper said,

“When was public virtue to be found when private was not?”

Benjamin Franklin stated,

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

Truth be known, I could probably fill a book with the words
of wise ones who have spoken in kind. But, you know, I understand this
principle well. I know that people get the government they deserve;
what bothers me is that I’m going to get the government they deserve.

You should be bothered, too. With the “people” changing
radically through Third World immigration (Ted Kennedy’s 1965
immigration act ensures that 85 percent of immigrants come from the
Third World and Asia), it’s legitimate to wonder how demographics
influence democracy. And it’s not hard to understand how these folks
will shape government, for they have done so before – in their own
lands.

Since our largest immigrant group hails from Mexico, let’s look
south of the border. Mexico is a thoroughly corrupt country, not at all
unique in the Third World but certainly emblematic of it. For instance,
they have the dubious distinction of possibly having the most
corrupt police force in the world, as Mexican authorities enforce
whatever law pays them the most. According to a documentary on the
subject, you can buy your way out of a fatal hit-and-run for 450
dollars. But the corruption is so systemic
that many of us have heard the stories ourselves. I remember being told
of a man who traveled to Mexico and was mugged by the police (a
documented example of theft by Mexican police can be found here).
Then I heard about a hapless soul who had to sell his home to pay
tribute to a family with more clout and a grudge against him; the
police payed him a visit and told him he’d be shot if he didn’t. Most
recently, an acquaintance told me how he was pulled over for running a
stop sign that didn’t exist and had to pay the crooked cop a bribe so
he could continue on his way. And this corruption is mirrored in every
aspect of Mexican society, in the bureaucrats, the courts and, of
course, the politicians.

This is why cultural equivalency doctrine is nonsense. People
may complain about corruption here, and while it certainly exists, it’s
the exception, not the norm; by and large, we are still governed by the
rule of law. We don’t fully appreciate this because in just the same
way some of us take our lifestyle for granted – not realizing ours is a
life of silk and satin as compared to most of the world – we also take
for granted that one will be able to conduct everyday business and
others will play by the rules. But in most of the world this is the exception, not the norm.

In other words, if we want to descend into a culture of
corruption, all we need do is continue the importation of Third
Worlders through immigration, both illegal and legal. Naturalization
won’t inculcate virtue; rather, they will bring their passions,
ideology and voting habits with them and lend their support to the same
kinds of corrupt leftists they supported in their native lands.

As to this, first-time Hispanic voters cast ballots for Bill
Clinton by a staggering margin of fifteen to one. So, while Bush once
said that family values don’t stop at the border, it certainly seems
that free market ones do. Preying on this, there is a tacit offer being
made by the traitorous politicians among us:

Listen, come here with millions of your fellow
travelers and vote for us, and, oh, oh, the rape shall commence. We’ll
give you the wealth of the native people; we don’t know how to say it
in Spanish, but we have a nice euphemism: “Redistribution.” And the
provincialists who would call it theft are simply too stupid to
understand that if we make it legal, it cannot be wrong.

Whenever I sound this alarm, I always receive emails from those who
call me an alarmist, if not something worse. They state with assurance
that these Third Worlders will assimilate, just as Americans always
had.

They dream.

If you want a glimpse of things to come (unless we reverse
course), just study states in which Third Worlders have settled.
California was once a place where Ronald Reagan reigned supreme, a
conservative citadel. Now, with the majority of its population being of
Third World and Asian heritage, it’s on the cutting edge of societal
devolution. Its senators are Barbara Boxer and Diane Crimestein, and it
has become a metaphor for politically correct insanity. Reagan could be
resurrected with all his charm and oratorical splendor, and he would
not win his home state.

Arizona is another prime example. Once synonymous with Barry
Goldwater, it now elects senators such as John McCain and Jon Kyl,
amnesty advocates both. Hey, they know their constituency.

What do you think will happen when the Third World invasion
hits your region? Is your state possessed of a special aura that will
magically transform these groups’ collective ideology? The truth is
that once the whole nation looks like California, you’ll be pressing
two for English.

If you’re a leftist such as Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton,
you welcome this importation of socialist-minded voters. If Lady
Macbeth is her party’s nominee, California will be a lock, and if the
whole nation looked like the Golden State . . . well, her biggest worry
would be competition from the left. Yes, just imagine, if we
become Mexico North, we’ll have a Hillary Clinton or Al Gore on the
right against a Hugo Chavez on the left. Talk about the lesser of two
evils.

Many have opined that this demographic trend spells doom for
the Republican Party. This epitaph is premature, however, so be not
afraid if you’re comforted by the sight of an office holder with an “R”
beside his name. Political parties are remarkably malleable; like
water, they take the shape of the vessel in which they find themselves.
Sure, the Republicans will initially struggle to “rehabilitate” their
image as an entity not given to nanny state, cradle-to-grave giveaways
and perennial pandering to minority angst, but they shall persevere.
You’ll get your candidates with the R’s. Although they may need to have
Z’s to the left of them.

As for those welcoming this cultural suicide, they will learn
the hard way that one must be careful what he wishes for; you see, by
and large, they know not what they sow. The politicians are blinded by
power, the business interests by money, and the Mexicans by ethnic
patriotism. And, ironically, it is the last group that will probably be
most unhappy as we devolve into Mexico North. The only concerns of
politicians and business are, respectively, power here and now and
money here and now. Most of these people are fairly old, and life
beyond the next few elections or few dozen financial quarters is of no
consequence. If they are still around, perhaps assimilating into the
culture of the French Riviera by joining the locals in mockery of
boorish Americans, their Lear jets will spirit them away to lands of
milk and honey and their plunder will buy them all the political favors
and favorable court rulings a Master of the Universe could ever need.

The hapless Third Worlders, like most of the rest of us, won’t be so fortunate.  Languishing in a  nation reminiscent of Blade Runner
(that is, assuming America remains intact), they won’t have pockets
deep enough in which to keep police, bureaucrats, judges and
politicians. They will occupy the second lowest tier in an economic
caste system – right above white native Americans.

Of course, one group that will welcome this cultural and
economic breakdown is the Islamists. A corrupt, balkanized land where
political correctness carries the day is fertile soil for those who
prey on desperate souls yearning for meaning and moral order.

Be assured, though, immigration will come to an end.
Once the rape of these United States is complete, with money
redistributed, productivity and wealth creation squelched and currency
devalued, immigrants will stop coming here. People generally don’t go
from one Third World country to another.

With the picture I’ve painted, one might think I have stock in
the maker of Prozac. Theoretically, though, we could still right the
ship. But the first step is the termination of an abusive relationship:
Our love affair with immigration. The historical norm is to protect
your shores from culturally imperialistic foreign elements, not invite
them in. And the only reason this simple truth escapes us is that we
have fallen victim to immigration and diversity dogma, to a sinister
salesmanship, a leftist juggernaut that could sell a full-length burka
to a NOW member. And, in a way, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

Or perhaps it’s more like selling pork carnitas to a jihadist.   

No, actually, it’s more like selling death to a civilization.
