The Left will occasionally deny that they favor immigration because it makes America less white. But they see such an outcome as so self-evidently desirable, that they often will admit it; a case in point was a professor from UC Santa Cruz who presented a paper at a conference I organized years ago, answering in the affirmative the question “Is America Too White?”

Bill Clinton did the same yesterday on Meet the Press: The “vast right-wing conspiracy” is still there, but “It’s not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically.” In other words, the less white America is, the better, a theme he addressed as president, as well.

As John O’Sullivan wrote years ago in NR, if different groups of Americans had children at different rates, resulting in changes in the ethnic (or religious or whatever) composition of the nation, that’s nobody’s business one way or the other. But mass immigration, especially in the context of the low fertility levels that are inherent to modernity, represents social engineering in its purest form, the elite’s decision to dissolve the people and elect a new one. Instead, how about we leave social engineering to the ChiComs and just let today’s American moms and dads decide what tomorrow’s America will be like.
