Liberals love Nonwhite Humanity—but avoid actual nonwhites

Last night we had a neighborhood cookout and this Jewish liberal friend of mine and I were debating the illegal alien situation and the status of the decline of Western Civilization in general due in part to the mass influx of Third World immigrants. He made all the usual liberal talking points, but then, in a moment of clarity with his guard down, he said that one of the main reasons he had moved from L.A. was that there was just too much “diversity” there—how everyone hates each other and restricts themselves to their own communities.

Brandon continues:
I live in a town in Tennessee which is basically a suburb of Nashville. To my liberal Jewish friend and his German born wife (ethnic German and very conservative), Nashville is like Mayberry compared to L.A.
I see drastic changes in some areas that have become little Mexicos. I am an elevator service technician and one of the buildings I frequent is our local publicly funded hospital (Metro Nashville General Hospital). Every day I see dozens of pregnant Hispanics with kids in tow. They have a budget shortfall of about $11 million and have started a layoff. A wonderful white woman who worked there for many years as a secretary got laid off and a Hispanic girl was given her job.
I was listening to Drudge on the radio tonight and he reported that at one Dallas hospital 70 percent of all births are to illegals. It reminds me of the Alien movies. They think there are only one or two aliens, only to find rooms full of thousands of eggs.

I saw where Brandon says that his liberal Jewish friend and his German born wife find Nashville to be “like Mayberry compared to LA.” Since 1995, the Hispanic population in Tennessee has vastly increased. The local media loves it. Incidentally, crime is going up due to these newcomers.
A few weeks ago, I was driving through downtown Nashville on a Saturday morning (not so much traffic on Saturday). I was going to the Nashville Public Library. I noticed a construction crew doing some street repair work. The workers were all Mexicans. The surrounding rural counties are still the way they have been, and people who can afford it are moving to these counties in the usual pattern.
Do you remember Bryanna Bevens’ vdare column of 2-9-06? It points out that 35 years ago, there were areas in LA County that were like Mayberry, but now look (and think) like Mexico.
LA replies:
Right. The whites move from L.A. to (say) Nashville to get away from the Mexican/Hispanic invasion, but then they have to move from Nashville out to the surrounding countryside to get away from the Mexican/Hispanic invasion.
Moving does not solve the problem but exacerbates it because a line is not drawn anywhere. Moving means that people see the problem purely in local and individual terms: “There are too many Mexicans here now. This place has ceased to be a part of Western civilization, has ceased to be a place where I am at home. So I’ll move.” But that individual decision to move does nothing to stop the invasion, which only follows the retreating whites to the place of their new retreat. It’s the invasion itself that must be stopped.

Ah, but the migrations of Mexican nationals living illegally in the U.S. also follow a very predictable pattern. Basically this: They follow white people wherever they move. You will rarely see Mexicans drawn to a particular area until a level of organized European-style infrastructure has already been built by others (i.e. Anglo Americans) and is available for exploitation. Only when a certain threshold of social services, free schools and hospitals, and menial service jobs requiring no education has been met will they begin to flow in large numbers to that place. Despite George Bush’s characterization of Mestizo Mexicans as the ultimate rough and ready, go-anywhere-do-anything culture, they are decidedly NOT what you would call hardy pioneer stock. They have never been willing to homestead or trailblaze undeveloped areas the way European immigrants to this country did. And this goes way back: Pio Pico, the last Mexican governor of frontier California, was so dismayed by the tiny presence of Mexicans among its population of endemic Indians and incoming whites that he ran advertisements in newspapers in Mexico begging more Mexicans to come. They didn’t. Of course, California was then an undeveloped outback, with little to offer in the way of services and requiring much in the way of initiative and self-sufficiency of its new residents. It was only after European Americans built it into an advanced, first-world state with a complex network of social services ripe for the picking that the Aztlan movement suddenly discovered that the ancient spiritual homeland of all Mexicans was located—not in Mexico as one might expect—but, in fact, somewhere near Pasadena.
