UK left and right turn anti-immigration, U.S. to follow, but is it too late?

First, here's a video of a right-wing politician from the UK, Nigel Farage, making the case that the British will vote against the EU due to the flood of immigrants.


Then there's the view from the left, that "mass immigration is making reluctant racists of us all.": 'I feel like a stranger where I live’
In the Nineties, when I arrived, this part of Acton was a traditional working-class area. Now there is no trace of any kind of community – that word so cherished by the Left. Instead it has been transformed into a giant transit camp and is home to no one. The scale of immigration over recent years has created communities throughout London that never need to – or want to – interact with outsiders.

It wasn’t always the case: since the 1890s thousands of Jewish, Irish, Afro-Caribbean, Asian and Chinese workers, among others, have arrived in the capital, often displacing the indigenous population. Yes, there was hateful overt racism and discrimination, I’m not denying that. But, over time, I believe we settled down into a happy mix of incorporation and shared aspiration, with disparate peoples walking the same pavements but returning to very different homes – something the Americans call “sundown segregation”.

But now, despite the wishful thinking of multiculturalists, wilful segregation by immigrants is increasingly echoed by the white population – the rate of white flight from our cities is soaring. According to the Office for National Statistics, 600,000 white Britons have left London in the past 10 years. The latest census data shows the breakdown in telling detail: some London boroughs have lost a quarter of their population of white, British people. The number in Redbridge, north London, for example, has fallen by 40,844 (to 96,253) in this period, while the total population has risen by more than 40,335 to 278,970. It isn’t only London boroughs. The market town of Wokingham in Berkshire has lost nearly 5 per cent of its white British population.

I suspect that many white people in London and the Home Counties now move house on the basis of ethnicity, especially if they have children. Estate agents don’t advertise this self-segregation, of course. Instead there are polite codes for that kind of thing, such as the mention of “a good school”, which I believe is code for “mainly white English”. Not surprising when you learn that nearly one million pupils do not have English as a first language.

I, too, have decided to leave my area, following in the footsteps of so many of my neighbours. I don’t really want to go. I worked long and hard to get to London, to find a good job and buy a home and I’d like to stay here. But I’m a stranger on these streets and all the “good” areas, with safe streets, nice housing and pleasant cafés, are beyond my reach. I see London turning into a place almost exclusively for poor immigrants and the very rich.

It’s sad that I am moving not for a positive reason, but to escape something. I wonder whether I’ll tell the truth, if I’m asked. I can’t pretend that I’m worried about local schools, so perhaps I’ll say it’s for the chance of a conversation over the garden fence. But really I no longer need an excuse: mass immigration is making reluctant racists of us all.
Code words such as a "good school" have been used in the United States for decades.

Farage speaks of the political ramifications of increased immigration at this time, which could lead to the UK pulling out of the EU. In fact, the British government is starting an ad campaign to deter immigrants from coming at this politically sensitive time.
Immigration: Romanian or Bulgarian? You won't like it here
Please don't come to Britain – it rains and the jobs are scarce and low-paid. Ministers are considering launching a negative advertising campaign in Bulgaria and Romania to persuade potential immigrants to stay away from the UK.

The plan, which would focus on the downsides of British life, is one of a range of potential measures to stem immigration to Britain next year when curbs imposed on both country's citizens living and working in the UK will expire.

A report over the weekend quoted one minister saying that such a negative advert would "correct the impression that the streets here are paved with gold".

This was the topic of conversation on a recent morning show in the UK.


And in the U.S., with the flood of immigrants coming via amnesty, anti-immigration sentiment will spill open in America as well, as white left-wing natives turn anti-immigration once they realize that they too are joining the minority.
California Eases Tone as Latinos Make Gains
The state’s changing attitudes are driven, in large part, by demographics. In 1990, Latinos made up 30 percent of the state’s population; they will make up 40 percent — more than any other ethnic group — by the end of this year, and 48 percent by 2050, according to projections made by the state this month. This year, for the first time, Latinos were the largest ethnic group applying to the University of California system.

Towns that just a decade ago were largely white now have Latino majorities. Latinos make up an important power base not only in urban centers like Los Angeles, but also in places that were once hostile to outsiders. There are dozens of city councils with a majority of Latino members, a Mexican-American is the mayor of Los Angeles and another is the leader of the State Assembly. Nearly all of the 15 California Republicans in Congress represent districts where at least a quarter of the residents are Latino.

“The political calculus has changed dramatically,” said Manuel Pastor, a demographer and professor of American studies at the University of Southern California. “Immigrants are an accepted part of public life here. And California is America fast-forward. What happened to our demographics between 1980 and 2000 is almost exactly what will happen to the rest of the country over the next 30 years.
Most people are bad at math and don't realize what has already taken place. If amnesty is pushed through, the United States will go the way of California, which increasingly resembles a middling Latin American country constantly on the brink of financial collapse. Immigration will not be stopped, it will increase greatly as much of the country blends with Mexico and the borders disappear. There will be violent conflict between Hispanics and blacks in the inner cities, while whites flee to the north and east away from immigrants. The South may be the most likely to respond violently in an attempt to drive immigrants out. The U.S. will descend into low level civil war, with foreign powers such as Mexico, Russia and even China extending their influence into American domestic politics. The U.S. dollar will go the way of Argentine peso. And most surprisingly to some, real racism will come back into vogue as the left-wing popularizes it.

For those who think that's an extreme forecast, remember that Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina and Mexico have all gone through devaluations/hyperinflation in the past three decades. California is on its way to becoming an economic basket case. If adding millions of Mexican voters will make things better, why is California going the way of Mexico, instead of Mexico going the way of California? The answer is clear: mass immigration does not lead to assimilation. The new voters establish the culture and voting pattern of their home country once their numbers are large enough. The end game is now in sight for the United States as the trends accelerate and take on new momentum.
