Immigration and dwindling population here and abroad
Recently, an article on dwindling kids in US neighborhoods hit a nerve with me, " No More Kids in Old Neighborhoods" especially the attendant map showing shrinking neighborhoods and the few areas in the southwest (especially southwestern Arizona) where it is GROWING by +30%.
That is where I live.
That news article left no surprises to anyone who has read " The Death of the West" by Patrick J. Buchanon, published back in 2005 which predicted "with immigrant invasions and dwindling birth rates, our culture is on it's last legs." I found that hypothesis riduculous.
Until I read his book.
Quoting statistics demographers research from a wide range of sources from around the globe, I double checked almost everything he said on Google and Bing. I am discouraged to report that everything he said is true.
And, I recommend the tome to everyone. If you are as sad about the lack of kids to keep our American way of life alive as I am, get the book and buy your anti-depressants. In recent discussions with Europeans from Holland, Switzerland, France and Germany, I've asked if the general assumptions were true with them, as well.
Their complaints stunned me. Ditto.
The third world birth rated rise unchecked " increasing equivalent to the population of Mexico every 15 months." As Buchanon writes, they will swamp the nations with street cleaners, truck drivers, taxi operators, fast food vendors and the like, if not already. My Dutch friends tell me that their governments are already trying to pass laws to prohibit any more immigration.
Italian demographers claim Rome will be a theme park in 50 years. The French are being driven nuts by Algerian immigrants grabbing jobs, jamming commuter trains and clogging streets with rude behavior. Ditto Holland, same in Switzerland, a land not easily offended.
As a docent in a local museum, I talk to scads of Europeans and Aussies who reflect American gripes along immigration lines, all of which seem to reflect a need for strong, angry laws clamping their gates shut, the sooner, the louder, the better.
And, all seem to say to me, don't believe their press either.
Gee, where have I heard THAT before?
