Living in a region infested with Muslims, the American debate over the so-called ‘Amnesty Bill’ can seem rather luxurious. If only we here could afford to debate the number of Latino Catholics within our borders. Alas, we don’t have the time. There are too many Pakistani issues to deal with; things like grooming, drug-dealing, honour killing and terrorism. The pesky migrants mowing lawns without a visa will have to wait.
Still, belittle it as I might, there is a real process underway in the US. In the very near future, the South-West of the country will be become indistinguishable from Central America. This area (called ‘Atzlan’ by Chicano activists) was once officially part of Mexico. For all intents and purposes, it shall be again. California, Texas and New Mexico are already heavily ‘Hispanified’ – to use a term that is meaningless this side of the Atlantic. The ticking of the clock is all that is required to complete the job.
Needless to say, Right-Wing commentators like Pat Buchanan view this transformation with barely-concealed horror:
“This is not immigration as America knew it” Buchanan writes “when men and women made a conscious choice to turn their backs on their native lands and cross the ocean to become Americans. This is an invasion, the greatest invasion in history. Nothing of this magnitude has ever happened in so short a span of time… Against the will of a vast majority of Americans, America is being transformed.”
But is it really that bad? Perhaps it’s a case of the ‘grass is greener’, but relative to the problems Europe faces, America remains incredibly fortunate.
American Whites, like their kin across the Atlantic, have forgotten how to breed properly. Both populations are declining to an extent that necessitates immigration to maintain economic growth. But whereas America’s backyard is a sea of beautiful, bronze-skinned Catholics, Europe’s backyard is a toxic fudge of violent Muslims and dirt poor Africans.
So to put it bluntly, I’m jealous. As are all Europeans. Whenever I hear scare-stories about Mexican migration, I instinctively compare them to those I could tell of ‘British’ Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and Turks.
Mexicans are demanding your school teaches in Spanish? Well, be thankful your teachers are not required to wear a headscarf.
Puerto Rican gangs are hanging out on street corners? Well, at least they’re not parked outside a kebab shop waiting to pick your daughter up.
Cubans are stealing your overtime? Well, at least you’re not being blown up on the way to work.
But perhaps I’m not doing justice to the problems engendered by America’s porous border. One shouldn’t ignore the issue of narco-terrorism for example, a phenomenon which kills just as well as its Islamic equivalent. The dilution of America’s identity as an English-Speaking country too, is not something to take light-heartedly.
Nevertheless, were the situations of America and Europe able to be traded, I don’t of any European who would refuse the deal.
D, LDN.
My first post so don’t be peoled…please don’t write about the glories of the hispanic Conquistador illegal aliens unless you know something besides cheap tinny asides! Let these best & brightest stay & remake their own crappy countries. Same goes for the rest of the world, stay out of my country!
My point isn’t whether immigration is good or bad, but whether Europe and America’s problems are equal in severity. If someone put a gun to your head and said “You can either live in a neighbourhood filled with Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, or Pakistanis, Afghans and Iranians. No other options are available.”, which would you choose?
Immigration is not only good in itself, but immigrants make a net financial contribution, as they pay more in taxes than they consume in health and benefit services.
Immigration is favoured by the exploiting capitalist class because they can employ people on very low poverty level wages and salaries.
Which is true – both, neither or one only?
Did you forget how your white asses came on boats, robbed people of their wealth from colonies in East? And killed and tortured them? Did you ´integrate´ then? You Britishers are-were nothing but thieves. Majority British population does not know its own history of crimes against humanity because your government there wants to regiment you with false propaganda and tell you bed time stories about your ´royalty´… who were, as I said, nothing but thieves.
We live in a shrunken world and millions of people are on the move; one of our biggest challenges is how we learn to live in proximity to difference – different skin colours, different beliefs and different way of life. According to a study by COMPAS, Muslims born and educated were given the impression of outsiders. The perception among Muslims is that they are unwelcome in Britain is undermining efforts to help them integrate into wider society. Most of them say that they have experienced race discrimination and religious prejudice. Muslims and Islam is promoted a fundamentalist and separatist by the western elite, which have negative impact on community and social cohesion. The number of racist incidents occurring in London Borough of Redbridge’s schools have reached their highest levels since record begin.
Immigrants are the creators of Britain new wealth, otherwise, inner cities deprived areas could not get new lease of life. The native Brits regard such areas as ghettoes. Integration is not religious and cultural, it is economic and Muslims are well integrated into British society and at the same time they are proud of their Islamic, linguistic and cultural identities, inspite of discrimination they have been facing in all walks of life. According to UN, 80% of British Muslims feel discriminated. They are less burden on social services. Immigrants made up 8.7% of the population, but accounted for 10.2% of all collected income tax
Anyone who has ever glanced at the newspaper section of a supermarket knows what the press do to immigrants. They libel them, abuse them, humiliate them and stoke up resentment against them. It’s been that way my entire life. After studying 58,000 articles in every national newspaper in Britain – over 43 million words – researchers found the word most closely associated with ‘immigrant’ was, you guessed it, ‘illegal’. It almost trips off the tongue. Even for those of us on the other side of the debate the two words feel intimately connected, like ‘pub’ and ‘pint’ or ‘library’ and ‘book’. One goes with the other.
For tabloids, other words closely associated with ‘immigrant’ were ‘coming’, ‘stop’, ‘influx’, ‘wave’, ‘housing’ and ‘sham’.
The press knows what it’s doing. It’s demonising immigrants. Its aim is to make us think of them as less than human beings. They are not humans, they are immigrants. And soon they won’t even be that. They’ll be ‘illegals’. And then you won’t have to worry about them at all anymore.

Not all ‘immigrants’ are the same, thus the chaos of our current immigration policy.
I was in America just a while ago and notice that most of the shops over there now have signs also in Spanish . Its up to the immigrants to learn English or the language of the country they are in . Not for the host country to bow down to them. Europe is over flowing with eastern Europe immigrants that have not intention of learning the language of the country they are living in. I have seen this in jobs I have worked in and in shops. While illegal Muslim immigration into Europe has seen . Our basic laws changed to suit them and Islam. So American are right to be worried about immigration . Because as before people immigrating wonted to be come citzons of there now country that no longer the case.
The Hispanification of South-West America is pretty much inevitable. The border with Mexico is not (and can not) be policed effectively. Not having been to America, perhaps I can’t say for sure, but I don’t think Mexicans are as socially detrimental as Pakistanis. Both Mexicans and Eastern European migrants might not learn the required languages, but they rarely demand that the host culture changes to suit them, as Muslims do. That being said, I agree with you that Americans have the right to be concerned about their country being changed.
Yep, culturally Catholic ‘Hispanics’ – whether primarily of European ancestry, or mestizo and Amerindian – *will* integrate (mostly via the Catholic Church and the Catholic parish schools) whereas Muslims…won’t and don’t, in Europe or anywhere else.
The Evangelical Protestants, in the USA, are making inroads among the ‘Hispanics’ as well and have been for some time. See ‘The Cross and the Switchblade’ and Nicky Cruz ‘Run Baby Run’ to see the beginning of that process, as a nice midwest Anglo Protestant pastor from the Bible Belt ventured into New York City in the 50s and early 60s to preach the gospel to black and hispanic urban youngsters, some of them in violent gangs. Nicky Cruz, born in Puerto Rico, was one of his first ‘catches’; Cruz, soundly converted, went off to Bible college and married a fellow student, a nice sweet deeply-devout mexicana from the southwest USA, and spent the rest of his life as a solid paterfamilias and Christian preacher and writer.
Further thought: if Spanish is to be accommodated then there’s nothing to stop teachers requiring Spanish speaking kids to study *solid* Spanish literature – like Cervantes, in the original. Cervantes wrote some rip-tearing critiques of Islam, back in the day.
I’d say to Americans who are worried about the ‘Hispanic’ influx: you shouldn’t be, so long as you get cracking and *refuse* to allow the cultural mix to become a race for the bottom. Instead, reclaim and celebrate the *best* of English and Spanish high culture.
Start demanding, say, that high schools require Spanish-speakers to learn and study Cervantes, Teresa of Avila, and St John of God’s poetry, right alongside Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson and Thomas Merton.
Exactly. Hispanic culture has a wonderful history and shouldn’t be considered a threat of the same nature as Islamism.
