The People Flow authors make a mistake common among pro-immigration advocates: seeing a nation as nothing more than a geographical entity with a functioning economy and a legal system. But a nation is first and foremost its people. It is the French people that define what France is, not lines on a map.
The pro-immigrationists are effectively trying to abolish nationhood, denying a country the right to sustain its own culture.
British-born white people, the progeny of the generation who survived the Nazi attempt to obliterate Britain as an independent nation state, now account for only 60% of the population of London. England has for more than 1500 years been a Christian country – its flag is a cross, its head of state is head of the national church – but in its second city Birmingham, Islam is now more worshipped than Christianity. In two boroughs of London, whites are already in the minority, and they are expected to become a minority in several cities in the coming decade.
If current trends continue, the historically indigenous population of Britain will become a minority by around 2100. Islam is the fastest growing religion, and much immigration to Britain comes from Muslims fleeing Muslim lands – around 75% of intercontinental asylum seekers are Muslim. But where are the limits? In an extreme example, would British Christians have a right not to live in an Islamic majority state?
For an answer to this, consider what that most liberal of American writers, Gore Vidal, said in a lecture in Dublin in 1999:
“A characteristic of our present chaos is the dramatic migration of tribes. They are on the move from east to west, from south to north. Liberal tradition requires that borders must always be open to those in search of safety or even the pursuit of happiness. But now with so many millions of people on the move, even the great-hearted are becoming edgy. Norway is large enough and empty enough to take in 40 to 50 million homeless Bengalis. If the Norwegians say that, all in all, they would rather not take them in, is this to be considered racism? I think not. It is simply self-preservation, the first law of species.”
But at what point are people of the west allowed to say that enough is enough, it is time for us to be allowed to preserve our culture? This is an issue of almost total, mind-numbing hypocrisy among western governments and political elites. They defend the inalienable right of other peoples – the Palestinians, Tibetans, native Americans – to defend their culture, but not the right of their own peoples.
It is vital to emphasise that mass immigration and the remarkably intolerant ideology of multiculturalism are exclusively western phenomena. Indeed, the striking thing about the global immigration debate in the west is its determined parochialism. If people in India, China, or Africa were asked whether they have a right to oppose mass immigration on such a scale that it would transform their culture, the answer would be clear. Yet uniquely among the 6 billion people on the planet, westerners – the approximately 800 million in western Europe, North America and Australasia – are expected by the proponents of mass immigration and multiculturalism to abandon any right to define or shape their own society.

Why does whites creates hysteria in regard to immigration. People who come to white countries come legally and when they come they pay their taxes and in comparison to whites they are not on goverment pension as most whites prefer too. I agree their is a small miniority that come illegally but they are forced to migrate because Western countries prop up illegimate regimes in their countries so they could plunder the resources of the east.
People parniod about immigration should first ask the goverments of their countries why do they advertise that australia or for that matter any other western country is looking for highly skilled people, the truth is western societies dont have a educated class and without students from asian countries western universities will have empty classes and libraries.
Whites should stop being hysterical about immigration because they dont produce highly silled labor force. My suggestion is,whites need to do some introspection befor saying anything about immigrants.
Anonymous, you are confusing white elites with the white populace.
Most whites (or indigenous people like aborigines )don't really want high immigration, but they don't get the opportunity to vote on it, since the main political parties don't discuss it at election time.
The introduction of skilled immigration categories is a sort of compromise between the desire of the elites for more immigration, and the desire of the majority of citizens for less immigration.
Also, it's not really that there aren't enough students, in some cases we already have too many, it's that the universities have grown too large and now try to attract overseas students to compete for government funding, which is allocated according to a short-sighted 'bums of seats' policy.
In some cases we do have labour shortages, but this is usually due to some minorities being unable to produce enough of their own skilled workers. For example, in New Zealand Pacific Islanders don't produce enough of there own doctors so we have to import some Indian doctors to compensate.
For what it's worth, the world's population now stands closer to 7,000,000,000 people and of that number 92% can be described as being NON-White.
