Immigration to the West is demographically substantial, and politically crucial.
Around sixty million new migrants (a million a year) arriving in the US each year. From 5% of the US population, for example, being foreign-born in 1970, this proportion is now 14% as a result of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which took effect in 1968. This legislative watershed has been supplemented by later immigration policies which alone add one million new legal permanent-settler immigrants a year to the US through extended family reunion (“chain migration”), the diversity visa lottery, ‘Temporary’ Protected Status for disaster refugees who then never return home, “anchor baby” citizenship (a powerful magnet for illegal immigration, heavily ionised by a “birthright tourism” industry servicing pregnant tourists), etc.
Mass Third World immigration has been at the core of this immigration influx - 90% of post-1968 immigrants have been from poor, Non-English-speaking countries. Whilst European immigrants made up 75% of total immigrants in 1965, this proportion has slumped to just 12% now, replaced by immigrants predominantly from Latin America and Asia, but increasingly from Africa and the Middle East. The white population of the US has been in steady decline from 90% in 1940, to 85% in 1965, to 61% now, and is projected to be a minority (46%) by 2065.
Illegal immigration is a significant source of the demographic immigration tide. Accurate estimates are well-nigh impossible (illegal immigration is a criminal activity, after all) but the most conservative estimates come in at around 12 million illegal migrants currently in the US. A recent Yale-MIT study estimates that the number of illegals may be 22 million (5% of the total US population) within a possible range of 16.5 to 29.5 million (9% of the total population). There are even higher estimats, up to aound 40 million. All are plausible.
Australia has embraced immigration to such an extent that the country now has the largest per capita settler immigration rate in the West, with immigration accounting for over half (around 55%) of Australia's total current annual population growth. Immigration adds around 200,000 new settler-migrants per year (plus an additional, annual 340,000 foreign students, 90,000 temporary workers and 19,000 refugees). Currently, a settler- migrant arrives on Australian soil every 2 minutes and 21 seconds, on average. Like the US, the composition of the Australian immigration intake has swung from the Anglo-Europena to the Third World. In pre-mass-immigration Australia, the White Australia Policy (adopted in 1901 under the Immigration Restriction Act) had required prospective immigrants to pass a dictation test in a European language, a provision which sharply limited non-White immigration. With the ending of this policy in 1966, however, Third World immigration has taken off.
The upshot of mass immigration is that demographically-driven politics changes – and changes for the worse for the First World working class. In demography and politics, numbers matter – in the US, 70-90% of Third World immigrants support the immigrant-friendly Democratic party. The Center for Immigration Studies found that immigrants vote for Democrats by a ratio of at least two-to-one, whilst the the Pew Research Center found that non-white Americans vote for Democrats by a three-to-one ratio. The latest (2018 mid-term) US Congressional elections, for example, were typical of the voting behaviour of foreign-born immigrants: 77% of Asians and 69% of Hispanics voted Democrat. A Muslim lobby group found that 78% of Muslims voted Democrat in the 2018 midterm elections.
Many of these Democrat-voting immigrants are illegal immigrants and therfore not citizens entitle to vote. One of the main paths to illegal immigrant-voting is the automatic issuing of driver’s licenses (the gold pass to claiming a vote in a voting booth) to illegal aliens, a law which has been enacted in law by thirteen Democrat-leaning states. The globalist, open-borders, cheap labour capitalist class does well from the economic environment provided politically by the US Democrats.
Democracy for the ‘Democrats’ is essentially a maths equation: if you can’t convince Americans to vote for your political vision and policies, then get new people from overseas through immigration who will vote for taking American jobs and all the free welfare goodies on the West’s table.
