Anyway, the Reconquista is under way, and the white folks who don't like it now know how the Sioux felt in the 1870s.

>with Mexico, a more sober article in the June issue of American Demographics
>analyzes the new borders that are sprouting up - i nside what used to be the
>United States.

>The second article, by veteran demographer William Frey, looks at the
>findings of the recent census and discovers that while some parts of the
>country really are "melting" - that is, becoming more ethnically "diverse" due
>to massive non-white immigration and higher non-white birth rates - other
>parts aren't. While Dr. Frey, one of the country's leading population and
>immigration experts, doesn't quite say it, what his findings mean is that
>the United States, so far from remaining united, is facing serious regional,
>racial and cultural polarization.
>
>"America's racial and ethnic patterns have taken on distinctly regional
>dimensions," Dr. Frey writes. While "Hispanics dominate large portions of
>counties in a span of states stretching from California to Texas" and
>"Blacks are strongly represented in counties of the South as well as
>selected urban areas in the Northeast and Midwest," "the minority presence"
>in much of the interior of the country "is still quite limited."
>
>"The most notable aspect of this map [showing the new national ethnic
>distribution] is the broad stretch of counties from the upper West and Rocky
>Mountains to the Midwest and Northeast that are mostly white, and where none
>of the minority groups come close to approximating their national averages."
>Looking at Dr. Frey's map, you can see that what constitutes the central
>geographical core of the United States in Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska,
>Kansas, Missouri and Iowa - with outliers in Minnesota, Idaho, and
>Texas - remains overwhelmingly white.
>
>The "overall gains" of Hispanics in the past decade "are heavily
>concentrated in the core counties of immigrant metro areas, and in the West
>and Southwestern U.S. Just 100 of these core counties accounted for more
>than 70 percent of all the nation's Hispanic gains during the decade."
>
>Though Dr. Frey doesn't mention it in this article, one reason for the
>persistence of the white center is that whites are and have been leaving the
>peripheral parts of the country to which non-white immigrants are flocking.
>Writing in the New York Times Magazine in 1995, Dr. Frey and co-author
>Jonathan Tilove noted, "For every immigrant who arrives [in large
>metropolitan areas], a white person leaves. Look collectively at the New
>York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and Boston metropolitan areas--5 of the
>top immigration destinations. In the last half of the 80's, for every 10
>immigrants who arrived, 9 residents left for points elsewhere. And most of
>those leaving were non-Hispanic whites." (1)
>
>As they also pointed out, what is known as "white flight" originally
>occurred when whites left urban neighborhoods for the suburbs. Now it occurs
>when whites leave entire states. The Third World migration flood isn't the
>only important population movement of our time; another is the First World
>flight away from the Third World flood.

>The myth of the "melting pot" holds that as aliens enter American society,
>they "melt" or assimilate into a larger, homogeneous, national porridge.
>Maybe that happened in the country's past, but Dr. Frey's article shows it's
>not happening now.
>
>What's happening now is that the historic white population of the United
>States is voting with its feet and surrendering the periphery of the nation
>to non-white immigrants and native blacks. Not only does that contradict the
>treasured melting pot mythology but also it points to major conflicts in the
>future between the unmelted ethnic and racial lumps.
>
>The racial breakdown of voting behavior became obvious enough this last
>election, with the Democrats sweeping blacks and Hispanics into their
>pockets and the Republicans winning a smaller majority of whites. Once the
>whites and non-whites have divvied up the nation between them, as Dr. Frey's
>map shows is happening, the political polarization of the two regions - the
>coastal and border areas vs. the interior - will follow. So will the cultural
>polarization, as the values, manners, tastes and beliefs of the different
>regions also pull apart. The polarization also has major economic
>implications, as corporate marketeers try to surf their products and
>services through different cultural waves.
>
>The polarization by race, culture, politics, and region may or may not lead
>to the much-ballyhooed second civil war or the actual Balkanization of the
>nation into separate political and territorial units, but it will certainly
>mean that America will be less of a nation, enjoy less of a common way of
>life and become less than it once was and could have been had not our
>short-sighted and selfish ruling class insisted on permitting mass
>immigration.
