Immigration

Fred Reed on immigration. The problem is clear. Physicists do not swim the river. Nor do doctors, computer programmers, accountants, or (thank God) lawyers. I'm not sure how many dishwashers and pool boys we need. Money quotes:

...A couple of years back I listened on the radio to a Mexican-American politician from Texas. He pointed out that when the Mexican children now in school reach the age of eighteen, they will control the government of the state....

...Shortly the US will have a southern tier of states under Mexican-American control....

...Mexico consists of three layers, or maybe two layers with a spectrum between. The governing class is white, and at about the European level on IQ tests, not surprising because they are European. You have the mestizos, who do conspicuously less well, and the pure Indians, lower yet. The white upper class is not swimming the river....

...It’s a different world. And coming to a mall near you.

Indeed.
