Thanks, Kathryn, though it is of course always possible to get overly wrapped up in a single issue. The thing is that immigration isn’t so much a single issue as one facet of a broader issue, what John O’Sullivan calls “the National Question.” That’s what the real divide that’s developing in our politics is going to be about: Not so much the “party of life” vs. the “party of death” (sorry, Ramesh), or capital vs. labor, or whatever. Instead, the fundamental political split in the future is America vs. post-America—and whatever their intentions, the supporters of mass immigration and loose enforcement are objective allies of the party of post-America.
