Chapter 8. The Aztlan Plot
This [Aztlan Plot] aims directly at a reannexation of the Southwest, not militarily, but ethnically, linguistically and culturally through the transfer of millions of Mexicans into the United States and a migration of “Anglos” out of the lands Mexico lost in 1848. In California, the project is well advanced.

Stated bluntly, the Aztlan Strategy entails the end of the United States as a sovereign, self-sufficient, independent republic, the passing away of the American nation. They are coming to conquer us. 

Chapter 9. What is a Nation?
Every true nation is the creation of a unique people, separate from all others. Indeed, if America is an ideological nation grounded no deeper than in the sandy soil of abstract ideas, she will not survive the storms of this century any more than the Soviet Union survived the storms of the last.…

A true nation is held together not by any political creed but by patriotism.… For two centuries, men have died for America.

Democracy is not enough. If the culture dies, the country dies. 

Chapter 10. The Return of Tribalism
The seething racial resentment in the Third World against the West — decades after independence and trillions in foreign aid — should cause second thoughts about opening our borders to mass immigration from that world.  Not everyone coming here brings in his heart the passionate attachment to America we attribute to the peoples of Ellis Island.

Young Asian males are nine times as likely as white youth to belong to a gang, and Hispanic youth are 19 times more likely. A disproportionate share of Hispanic young and poor are thus assimilating into a misogynistic, rebellious, youth sub-culture of drugs, gangs, crime, contempt for formal education, and hostility to police.   

Chapter 11. Eurabia
Islamization of Europe is an unavoidable consequence, indeed, an inevitability, once Europe ceased to reproduce itself. The descendants of the men who went out from Europe to conquer and Christianize the world have decided to leave the world. The culture of death triumphs, as the poor but fecund Muslims, expelled centuries ago, return to inherit the estate. 

Chapter 12. “A Nation of Immigrants”?
Our illegal population alone exceeds all the Irish, Jewish and British immigrants who came.  Each year, we catch more people breaking in at the border than all the Swedes and Norwegians who came to America in 200 years. Half a million illegal aliens succeed in breaking in every year, more than all the Greeks or Poles who came legally from the Revolution to 1960. 

Chapter 13. Last Chance
Concerned about his legacy, George W. Bush may yet live to see his name entered into the history of his country as the president who lost the American Southwest that James K. Polk won for the United States.

If we do not solve our civilizational crisis — a disintegrating culture, dying populations, and invasions unresisted — the children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetimes the death of the West.  In our hearts we know what must be done. We must stop the invasion. But do our leaders have the vision and will to do it?
