Book Review: Facing reality
Summary: 5 Stars
Patrick J. Buchanan is a serious figure. He has been senior advisor to three American presidents, Nixon, Ford and Reagan as well as a founder of three current affairs TV programmes, a syndicated newspaper column and three times presidential candidate: he cannot lightly be dismissed which is what one world Ideologues and importers of cheap labour would like.
This book is a remarkable achievement for it deals with several aspects of one major subject in a simple style which makes it accessible to everyone. The major subject is the disintegration of America. Buchanan's two essential points are the failure of America - and in this read your own European nation - to reproduce their own kind or control immigration. These threaten the health and safety of millions of innocent civilians. It is different from books by rationalists and ideologues because it refers to what is actually happening not a vague future. As Edmund Burke put it, "If an idea is good in theory but not in practice, then it is a bad idea."
He gives insights into what drives, nay, allows the American malaise. He starts at the beginning by considering why civilisations collapse and after several examples from Rome, isolates the main causes as,"the death of faith, the degeneration of morals, contempt for the old values, collapse of the culture, paralysis of the will,. But the two certain signs that a civilisation has begun to die are a declining population and foreign invasions no longer resisted.
We are given a historical parallel: "In 376 A.D. a large band of Gothic refugees arrived at the Empire's frontier, asking for asylum. In a complete break with established Roman policy, they were allowed in unsubdued. They revolted, and within two years had defeated and killed the emporer Valens - the one who had received them - along with two-thirds of his army, at the battle of Hadrianople."
He asks what sort of people are coming? Comparing Bush with Valens he quotes from the 2005 speech in Tuscon, "That in five years 4.5 million aliens had been caught trying to break into the States and of those over 350,000 had criminal records. One in every twelve apprehended by border patrols were criminals. That is 200 felons a day coming to rob, rape, assault or murder innocent Americans who trust their rulers to protect them. We get particular examples. One is a 16 year-old gang member who was found lying a pavement with all his fingers severed by rival gang members. He was a member of the South Side Locos, the second largest gang in Virginia. The attackers are salvadoreans and belonged to Mara Salvatrucha with an estimated 100,000 members in 33states and 6 counties. These practical examples show the danger ordinary Americans have been put in by the authorities who live by theory.
The authorities create these conditions by unrealistic policies like Sanctuary cities that forbid police to arrest known illegals and criminal aliens thus fostering gang wars. After being deported for say, murder, assault with a deadly weapon or drug trafficking they sneak back and police have to ignore them. This stems from the pretense that immigrants are essentially good which leads the authorities to ignore their human nature and not face reality when they misbehave.
Another example of how their human nature is the intention of many Mexicans that they are re-taking the South West by demography which is how the Americans originally took it off them. This is as La Reconquista. He quotes president Fox, speaking in Chicago in 2004, "We are Mexicans that live in our territories and we are Mexicans that live in other territories. In reality there are 120 million people that live together and are working together to construct a nation."
He destroys the abstract arguments for the Economic and Creedal nation idea, by stating " The Ideology was created by colonial elites to justify breaking the blood ties with their British brethren but before the greatest documents were written, America existed in the hearts of her people." He also shows how the political organisations of the last 200 years are breaking down into tribal components. The case against nationalism consists of myths that are based not on facts but dreams. He demolishes several including the Statue of Liberty as a monument to immigration. He shows that the lines from J.F.Kennedy's "A Nation of Immigrants" about Asian and Mexican immigrants were not his but added for the second edition in 1964, four years after his death.
I disagree with him on one point: he believes the roots of paralysis are guilt but, if you feel guilty you want to make amends but the elites are bringing immigrants into our communities not their own. They live in lovely areas or safely in gated communities and this shows their real motive - loathing of their own poor people and fear of other ethnic groups. The profession of guilt is egotistical and makes them feel virtuous. It is a consequence of our atomization. The elites and company bosses think only of themselves. The one gets cheap labour, the other looks magnanimous and great before the world as they offer a moral beacon to the less enlightened. But unconsciously, they loathe their own poor people and do not care how much they have to suffer as long as they themselves feel good.
He advocates a patrolled fence along the border with Mexico and deportation for criminals and cites Eisenhower's operation Wetback of 1954 when a million illegals were repatriated.
It should be noted that Buchanan deals with what is actually happening using examples from today, while open borders enthusiasts offer only a vague future utopia without evidence, but wishful thinking.
