"SWEPT AWAY - Unfettered immigration is rapidly shifting the ethnic and political balance of the United States. Republicans beware."
Peter Brimelow writes: For reasons that are obvious, Ed Rubenstein and I were not invited to update our 1997 cover story in the Goldberg Review (changed from National Review because of the implication of nativism and hence Nazism). We have now done so under the above headline in the Fall Issue of the Hudson Institute's American Outlook, whose Editor, Sam Karnick, recently wrote "Give us Your Fanatics, Your Mass-Murderers", on the failure of U.S. immigration controls.

Few checks on Saudis coming to U.S.
The U.S. government believes as many as eight of the 19 hijackers in the Sept. 11 attacks came from Saudi Arabia, but it still routinely issues tens of thousands of visas to Saudis each year without interviews or extensive background checks. -- Far tougher conditions are imposed on other visitors from the Middle East. -- On busy days, overwhelmed U.S. Embassy officials issue hundreds of Saudi visas in Riyadh and Jeddah.

What has happened to the most wonderful place to live in the entire world? -- I just realized that the answer to this question was born in 1965 when President Johnson quietly signed into law the Immigration Reform Act which overturned America's traditional immigration policy and replaced it with the most liberal "easy access" policy in our history.

A mere six weeks ago, President Bush was pushing a liberal immigration policy. He wanted to loosen the U.S. borders and make it easier for millions of illegal Mexican immigrants to move freely between America and their homeland. -- With an eye on the burgeoning Hispanic electorate, Bush was making the argument that America, a nation of immigrants, is always at its best when it welcomes foreigners who yearn to breathe free. -- But that theme was extinguished when planes became bombs Sept. 11.
