Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster
New York: Random House, 1995

Is it really wise to allow the immigration of people who find it so difficult and painful to assimilate into the American majority? — Peter Brimelow

In retrospect, the years of the Clinton administration were baffling. On the surface, the Democratic Party’s insane-asylum wing appeared to be ascendant. All the while, under the surface, conservative ideas moved from political success to success. (more…)

Počátky hnutí za ochranu přírody byly v Americe neodmyslitelně spjaty s podporou vědeckého rasismu, eugeniky a snahami o omezení imigrace.

The heterogeneity of America’s European population has always posed a challenge to its national identity. Only late in the nineteenth century was this identity extended to European immigrants assimilated in its Anglo-Protestant values and, in the twentieth century, to Catholics, whose Church (the “Whore of Babylon”) had learned to accommodate the Protestant contours of American life (or what John Murray Cuddihy called its “civil religion”).
