It drives me mad (MAD!!!) that there’s suddenly dismay about The Hill’s recent story America’s white majority is aging out [By Daniel Devise, August 8, 2023]I SPECIFICALLY POINTED OUT this inexorable trend (absent patriotic immigration reform) in my 1995 book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster.

This what I wrote on p. 64 in 1995:

The U.S. government officially projects an ethnic revolution in America. Specifically, it expects that American whites will be on the point (53 percent) of becoming a minority by 2050. ….

I won’t be here, of course. And (I’m sorry to say) neither will most of you reading of this page. Still, we probably stand a chance of making it to 2020. In that year, the Census Bureau projects that just less than 64 percent of Americans will be white. And among children under fifteen, whites will be on the point of becoming a minority.

And this is the famous—at least among scandalized reviewers—Pincer Chart of demographic change:

But forget that—my message now: there’s still a lot that the Historic American Nation can do to save itself. It’s just a matter of will.

This white-minority story flares up every so often whenever the brain-dead media notices that some official body has released a report.

An obviously interesting question, but not one any academic would look into is whether immigration reduces native-born fertility due to less affordable family formation. – @Steve_Sailer https://t.co/uGMBnRdCGt

More than ten years ago, one of these reports provoked my colleagues at MarketWatch, where I was then strictly confined to a densely technical column on investment letters, to demand that Editor David Callaway (tweet him) not allow me to comment, because they had been scandalized by my completely separate Politically Incorrect role at my website VDARE.com. (I can’t be bothered to see if my Market Watch columns are still archived, but here’s the last one I can find).

This was an early example of James Kirkpatrick’s point that American journalists now see themselves not as truth-tellers, but as censors. It was also a harbinger that the Brer Rabbit/Tar Baby strategy, which had allowed me to build a career in the briar patch of financial journalism in the 1970s despite the media’s liberal/ Communist sympathizer infestation, was no longer possible in the more intensely Totalitarian Woke Era.

Thus the beautiful Lauren Witzke, who scored an historic victory by winning the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in Delaware on an immigration moratorium platform, just tweeted

This is devastating. https://t.co/8NkChaS6s8

(Note gloating comments).

But it’s not devastating, it’s just a wake-up call….if anyone wants to hear it.

We’ve spelled this out at VDARE.com over the years:

• Americans could enact an Immigration Moratorium

This was effectively done in 1924. And it could have been done again after 2016, when the GOP/GAP controlled the Executive and Legislative Branches.

That it wasn’t done is another story. But the Treason Lobby is obviously still terrified about the possibility, which is why the Biden Regime has (flagrantly impeachably) opened the southern border.

The impact of an immigration moratorium would be dramatic. This is what would have happened if there had been a moratorium after my 1992 National Review cover stor y Time To Rethink Immigration?:

See National Data: How A 1992 Moratorium Could Have Helped Preserve the Historic American Majority, by Ed Rubenstein, July 2, 2012

Even as of 2007, zero net immigration (= immigration moratorium) would have meant the U.S. might never have become majority-minority.

I must get Ed Rubenstein to recalculate the impact of an immigration moratorium today. But it can only be positive.

• A minority-majority in the population is NOT the same thing as a minority-majority in the electorate. That would take another 20-plus years.

Steve Sailer pointed this out as long ago as 2009 : Even If Immigration Continues, The Sailer Strategy Could Still Win It For The GOP In 2050 This gives plenty of time for the Historic American Nation to take evasive action. For example:

• And Americans could abolish Birthright Citizenship

VDARE.com has been urging this for more than twenty year s. Now, both leading GOP contenders have endorsed it.

We’ve calculated abolishing Birthright Citizenship would halve the GOP/GAP’s drift to demographic disaster.

• Americans could make Birthright Citizenship Abolition retroactive!

Why not? India has done it. So it must be OK, right?

The key point here: preventing illegals and their children from voting—entering the Political Nation.

Of course, from long and bitter experience, I don’t all expect that the American Ruling Class will do any of this.

But they could do.

And I believe that, one day, they will be held to account.
