Books, Arts & Manners: The Right Books

Despite all attempts by large portions of the media—what Richard Weaver in 1947 called the “Great Stereopticon”—to project their false cosmos upon the “revolving dome,” the American public sees the threat of invasion (a/k/a “illegal immigration”) clearly and whole, as is strongly suggested by recent polls. According to the Gallup poll, whose findings are largely reflected in other surveys, “the American public takes a hard line toward illegal aliens, with 75 per cent favoring…a law that would make it illegal to employ a person who has entered the United States without proper papers.” It found that “the public…strongly supports a proposal requiring all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens to carry an identification card,” and that a majority opposes granting amnesty to illegals currently in the country.

It has been ten years since Leonard Chapman, commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, declared that “illegal immigration is out of control,” but Congress, for reasons of its own, has discovered a wide variety of excuses for doing little—if anything—to protect its citizens from the estimated two million illegals migrating each year to the United States. Meanwhile aliens threaten to seize political control in Texas, California, New Mexico, and Florida, while politicians on both sides of the border speak tauntingly of “reconquering” the American Southwest from the “Anglos.”
