Former American presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan, sees the end of the Republican Party:<\/p>\n
On immigration, Pat Buchanan campaigned on securing the border in 1991-92, when there were only 3 million illegal immigrants in the United States.<\/p>\n
But the Bush Republicans refused to seal the border.<\/p>\n
Now there are 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants and the issue is tearing the party apart. Now everybody is for “secure borders.”<\/p>\n
We did urge a “moratorium” on legal immigration, such as America had from 1924 to 1965, to assimilate and Americanize the millions who had come. The [Wall Street] Journal Republicans called that xenophobia.<\/p>\n
Since then, tens of millions of immigrants, here legally and illegally, mostly from the Third World, have arrived. Economically, they consume more in tax dollars than they contribute.<\/p>\n
Politically, most belong to ethnic groups that vote between 70 and 90 percent Democratic. Their children will bury the GOP.<\/p>\n
Consider California, which voted for Nixon all five times he was on a national ticket and for Reagan in landslides all four times he ran.<\/p>\n
Since 1988, California has not gone Republican in a single presidential election. No Republican holds statewide office. Both U.S. Senators are Democrats. Democrats have 39 of 53 U.S. House seats. Republican state legislators are outnumbered 2-to-1.<\/p>\n
Americans of European descent, who provide the GOP with 90 percent of its presidential vote, are down to 63 percent of the nation and falling.<\/p>\n
By 2042, they will be a minority. And there goes the GOP.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
