While I've lost respect for Jonah Goldberg, he did write an insightful book about 20 years ago. I believe it was called The End of the World As We Know It.
He claimed that the biggest threat to the western world was demographic shifts. Falling birth rates being the primary culprit. He argued that countries would be forced (or would naively choose) to import their labor to overcome a shortage of native born workers. Seventeen of the top twenty countries in the world, per birth rate, were Muslim dominant countries. Masses of folks from those countries had been pouring into Europe and would continue to do so, creating a new majority eventually. He predicted devastating results.
And here we are.
He must have gotten his earth shattering opinion from Pat Buchanan's Death of the West book published in the 90's.
Proud to say I've voted for Buchanan twice and never once voted for a Bush.
Back then, Buchanan was saying falling birth rates in western countries would doom them. By 2050, Italy will be gone. There will be no Italians. Russia is in same boat. Unfettered immigration to replace native workers to support their social welfare sate would also doom them. The third world birth rates DWARF thise of more affluent countries. It creates another Mexico every 15 months.
