Pat Buchanan Declares 'State of Emergency' Over Illegal Immigration

As discussed on my show this morning?

Pat Buchanan has a new book out this week called State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, in which he sounds a warning over illegal immigration. The Drudge Report website describes the book, quoting Buchanan as writing, "The children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetimes the death of the West." Drudge cites items from Buchanan's book, including: one in every 12 illegal immigrants has a criminal record; between 10 and 20 percent of all Mexicans, Central Americans and Caribbean people have already moved to the U.S.; and the Border Patrol apprehends 150,000 people every month trying to get into the country illegally.

Buchanan charges, according to Drudge, that the Mexican government is consciously using America as a dumping ground for its poor and unemployed, not only to ease social pressures at home, but to carry out a cultural re-annexation of the American Southwest, reconquering land lost in the Mexican-American War. He also contends that both U.S. political parties are paralyzed by guilt over America's past racial sins, and that powerful elites in both the U.S. and Mexico want to merge the two countries into a, quote, "North American Union."

Buchanan proposes a plan, described in the final chapter called "Last Chance," to deal with the problem as he sees it before it's too late. Among the items Drudge cites are:

*Instituting a deportation program, beginning with all illegal aliens convicted of felonies and every gang member who isn't a U.S. citizen.
*A 10-year cap on all legal immigration at 150,000 to 250,000 people a year.
*Construction of a 2,000-mile, double-line security fence along the border with Mexico.
