The Last of the Caucasians?
Pat Buchanan waxes about new studies that show the decline of European-based peoples by 2060.
The numbers are interesting, but I'm not too worried about them. After all, these projections seem to ignore certain socio-economic factors, wars, and diseases that have worked to keep the world's population relatively in check over human history. To me, it's too speculative to worry about.
Buchanan's worries about the U.S.'s Southern border, however, are quite real and must be addressed. Alas, the three candidates for the White House don't see the security of the U.S. borders as a problem that needs addressing.
