Pat Buchanan is sounding the alarm. Since 9/11, more than four million illegal immigrants have crossed our borders, and there are more coming every day. Our leaders in Washington lack the political will to uphold the rule of law. The Melting Pot is broken beyond repair, and the future of our nation is at stake.
In this important book, Pat Buchanan reveals that, slowly but surely, the great American Southwest is being reconquered by Mexico. These lands---which many Mexicans believe are their birthright---are being detached ethnically, linguistically, and culturally from the United States by a deliberate policy of the Mexican regime. This is the "Aztlan Plot" for "La Reconquista," the recapture of the lands lost by Mexico in the Texas War of Independence and Mexican-American War.
Comparing the immigrant invasion of America from across the Mexican border---and of Europe from across the Mediterranean---to the barbarian invasions that ended the Roman Empire, the author writes with passion and conviction that we have begun the final chapter of the Death of the West. Unless the invasion is halted now, Buchanan argues, by midcentury America will be a country unrecognizable to our parents, the Third World dystopia that Theodore Roosevelt warned against when he said we must never let America become a "polyglot boardinghouse" for the world.
President Bush's failure to halt the invasion and secure America's border, Buchanan writes, is a dereliction of constitutional duty that, in other times, would have called forth articles of impeachment. In the final chapter, "Last Chance," he lays out a sweeping immigration reform and border security plan, which, he contends, if not pursued, means George W. Bush's legacy will be to have lost for America a Southwest that was the legacy of Sam Houston, Andrew Jackson, and James K. Polk. With an estimated ten to fifteen million "illegals" already here and tens of millions more poised to pour across our borders, few books could be as timely---or important---as State of Emergency. It is essential reading for all Americans.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

In his wide-ranging argument about immigration, perennial wake-up-caller Buchanan finally seems a little despondent. The West is nearing death by drowning under a torrent of non-Westerners, the preponderance of whom, he insists, are just trying to earn more and live better than they did in their countries of origin. Some few are bad actors, but they would be manageable if the total number of immigrants were much smaller. Crucially exacerbating the crisis are attitudes fostered by original homelands and others neglected by host nations. For example, Mexico, with its permanent, inalienable citizenship and historic grudge against the U.S. for the latter's Mexican War-facilitated purchase of half of Mexico's original territory, actively discourages Mexicans in the U.S. from becoming U.S.-identified. Simultaneously, U.S. elites downplay "Americanization" in favor of transforming most of the populace into a low-wage workforce fragmented by linguistic and cultural differences. Look to Europe, which from Britain to Russia, Buchanan argues, is much nearer cultural collapse, to see the U.S. in 2050--or sooner. Ray Olson

About the Author

Patrick J. Buchanan, America's leading populist conservative, was a senior adviser to three American presidents, ran twice for the Republican presidential nomination, in 1992 and 1996, and was the Reform Party candidate in 2000. In his 1992 challenge to President George H. W. Bush, Buchanan was the first national leader to put the issue of America's broken and bleeding Mexican border and the Third World invasion of the United States onto the national agenda. No figure in politics or journalism has done more to alert the nation to this existential crisis. The author of seven other books, including the bestsellers Right from the Beginning; A Republic, Not an Empire; The Death of the West (Thomas Dunne Books 2002); and Where the Right Went Wrong (Thomas Dunne Books 2004), Buchanan is a syndicated columnist and a founding member of three of America's foremost public affairs shows, NBC's The McLaughlin Group, and CNN's The Capitol Gang and Crossfire. He lives in McLean, Virginia.

State of Emergency
1How Civilizations PerishWhy was the border guard so thin? Did the Romans not notice ... that their way of life was changing forever?1--THOMAS CAHILL, 1995
Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.2--ARNOLD TOYNBEE

Civilizations, Arnold Toynbee believed, arose when "creative minorities" devised solutions to the great crisis of the age. They perished when they failed to resolve that crisis.After the collapse of the Roman Empire and the barbarian invasions, Toynbee concluded, the Catholic Church had solved the crisis of the age: disunity and chaos. It had done so by creating a new religious community out of which grew a new civilization and culture.Thus began the history of Christendom.From the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries, the West wrote the history of the world. Out of the Christian countries of Europe came the explorers, the missionaries, the conquerors, the colonizers, who, by the twentieth century, ruled virtually the entire world. But the passing of the West had begun.Spain's empire was the first to fall. America delivered the coup de grâce in 1898. But it was the Thirty Years' War of 1914-1945, the Civil War of Western Civilization, that inflicted the mortal wounds.By 1918, the German, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian empires had collapsed. World War II bled and broke the British and French. One by one, after war's end, the strategic outposts of empire--Suez, the Canal Zone, Rhodesia, South Africa, Hong Kong--began to fall. Within three decades, Europe's headlong retreat from Asia and Africa was complete.From 1989 to 1991, the Soviet Empire fell and the Soviet Union split into fifteen pieces, half a dozen of them Muslim nations that had never before existed. Now, the African, Asian, Islamic, and Hispanic peoples that the West once ruled are coming to repopulate the mother countries.By the Toynbeean concept of challenge and response, the crisis of Western civilization consists of three imminent and mortal perils: dying populations, disintegrating cultures, and invasions unresisted.History repeats itself. After the Roman republic spread out from the town on the Tiber to rule Italy and "the Middle Sea of Earth" from Spain to Jerusalem, from Carthage to Hadrian's Wall, the conquered peoples made their way to the imperial capital. Rome became a polyglot city of all the creeds and cultures of the empire. But these alien peoples brought with them no reverence for Roman gods, no respect for Roman tradition, no love of Roman culture. And so, as Rome had conquered the barbarians, the barbarians conquered Rome. In the fifth century, beginning with Alaric and the Visigoths in 410, the northern tribes, one after another, invaded and sacked the Eternal City. And the Dark Ages descended.And as Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended.In How the Irish Saved Civilization, Thomas Cahill writes: "To the Romans, the German tribes were riffraff; to the Germans, the Roman side of the river was the place to be. The nearest we can cometo understanding this divide may be the southern border of the United States. There the spit-and-polish troops are immigration police; the hordes, the Mexicans, Haitians, and other dispossessed people seeking illegal entry."3In his Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians, Oxford's Peter Heather challenges previous historians and attributes the fall of the empire to Rome's refusal to block a great horde of refugees that arrived at its border late in the fourth century:"In 376 a large band of Gothic refugees arrived at the Empire's Danube frontier, asking for asylum. In a complete break with established Roman policy, they were allowed in, unsubdued. They revolted, and within two years had defeated and killed the emperor Valens--the one who had received them--along with two-thirds of his army, at the battle of Hadrianople."4At first, "this sudden surge of would-be Gothic immigrants wasn't seen as a problem at all," writes Heather. "On the contrary, Valens happily admitted them because he saw in this flood of displaced humanity a great opportunity."5 The Roman historian Ammianus wrote of how warmly the Goths were welcomed: "The affair caused more joy than fear and educated flatterers immoderately praised the good fortune of the prince, which unexpectedly brought him so many young recruits from the ends of the earth ... ."6What Valens had done was the Christian thing to do, but it had never been the Roman thing to do. Valens has his modern counterpart in George W. Bush. For in May 2006, Republican senators at Bush's urging joined Democrats to offer a blanket amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens and permit U.S. businesses to go abroad and bring in foreign workers. Senators had been shocked by the millions of Hispanics marching in America's cities under Mexican flags. And as was the emperor Valens, President Bush was hailed for his compassion and vision.Just as Rome's time came, so today comes the time of the West. From Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania, and the old French colonies of the sub-Sahara, they cross the Mediterranean. From the mandated lands Europe tore from the Ottomans, an Islamic invasion is mounted that is changing the character of the Old Continent. And the future the militant imams have in mind for Europe is not the same as that dreamed of by the bureaucrats of Brussels.In 2005, there came a fire bell in the night. Children of Arab and African peoples France once ruled burned and looted the suburbs of Paris and three hundred cities. Prophets without honor had warned of what was coming.In 2005, 750,000 more Russians disappeared from the face of the earth, bringing Russia's population down to 143 million. Due to an anemic birth rate and early deaths, another 10 million will vanish in the next ten years. Meanwhile, Chinese workers and traders in the thousands annually cross the Amur and Ussuri rivers to work and live, slowly repossessing the lands lost to the czars and the world's last great storehouse of natural resources: Siberia and the Russian Far East. In the Caucasus and Central Asia, holy warriors take up arms to drive Mother Russia back whence the Cossacks came centuries ago.And, above all, it is happening here. In the eighteenth century, America began her restless, relentless drive to dominance from the Atlantic seaboard over the mountains to the great river. In the age of Jackson and Polk, the United States tore Florida away from Spain, and Texas, the Southwest, and California away from young Mexico. By century's end, we had annexed Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. In 1900, U.S. Marines marched beside British imperial troops to Peking to crush the Boxer Rebellion. In the first half of the twentieth century, America invaded Mexico, built the Panama Canal, intervened in the Caribbean and Central America, smashed Japan's empire, and conquered the Pacific and East Asia.Now the tape has begun to run in reverse. In 1960, there were perhaps 5 million Asians and Hispanics in the United States. Today, there are 57 million. Between 10 percent and 20 percent of all Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean peoples have moved into the United States. One to 2 million enter every year and stay, half of them in defiance of America's laws and disdain for America's borders. No one knows how many illegal aliens are here. The estimates run from 12 to 20 million.This is not immigration as America knew it, when men and women made a conscious choice to turn their backs on their native lands and cross the ocean to become Americans. This is an invasion, the greatest invasion in history. Nothing of this magnitude has ever happened in so short a span of time. There are 36 million immigrants and their children in the United States today, almost as many as came to America between Jamestown in 1607 and the Kennedy election of 1960. Nearly 90 percent of all immigrants now come from continents and countries whose peoples have never been assimilated fully into any Western country.Against the will of a vast majority of Americans, America is being transformed. As our elites nervously avert their gaze or welcome the invasion, we are witness to one of the great tragedies in human history. From Gibbon to Spengler to Toynbee and the Durants, the symptoms of dying civilizations are well known: the death of faith, the degeneration of morals, contempt for the old values, collapse of the culture, paralysis of the will. But the two certain signs that a civilization has begun to die are a declining population and foreign invasions no longer resisted.Europe, having embraced what Pope John Paul II called a "culture of death," is far down the Roman road to ruin. For death has embraced Europe back. Not one European nation save Muslim Albania has a birth rate among its native-born that will enable it to survive the century in its present form. Birth rates below replacementlevels have been the mark of all the great nations of Europe for decades. In many, the population has ceased to grow and begun to die.Here in America, the self-delusion about what is happening and the paralysis in the face of the crisis have no precedent. What can be said for a man who would allow his home to be invaded by strangers who demanded they be fed, clothed, housed, and granted the rights of the firstborn? What can be said for a ruling elite that permits this to be done to the nation, and that celebrates it as a milestone of moral progress?We are witnessing how nations perish. We are entered upon the final act of our civilization. The last scene is the deconstruction of the nations. The penultimate scene, now well underway, is the invasion unresisted.STATE OF EMERGENCY.

Buchanan really irritates the heck out of me. I cut my conservative teeth on his writings in the old St. Louis Globe Democrat. Now he has metamorphosed into a sort of populist demagogue. I disagree strongly with Buchanan on some critical issues, particularly his stance on Israel and his obdurate refusal to recognize the threat posed by Islam. Last week I actually heard him refer to Islam as "one of the world's great religions" thereby tacitly elevating this political cult to a status equal to that of Christianity and ignoring Islam's 1400 year history of violence and barbarism. But in this book Buchanan manages once again to get it right and raises the level of his game to that which he enjoyed as a young firebrand at the St. Louis Globe Democrat. The "business as usual" and "all that counts is the economy" Republicans and "anything for a vote" Democrats are selling our country's sovereignty down the road albeit for different reasons.

Buchanan says, "From Gibbon to Spengler to Toynbee and the Durants, the symptoms of dying civilizations are well known: The death of faith, the degeneration of morals, contempt for the old values, collapse of the culture, paralysis of the will. but the two certain signs that a civilization has begun to die are a declining population and foreign invasions no longer resisted. . . . With the Immigration Act of 1965, the nation began to import another electorate. . . . Third World immigration is drowning the Republican base. . . . Mass immigration pushes politics to the left. . . Democrats will never secure the border. They may play the patriot card against Bush, but they are running a bluff. . . . America is being invaded, and if this is not stopped, it will mean the end of the United States."

In his chapter on the "Roots of Paralysis" Buchanan does an excellent job of examining the motivations behind the reluctance of the Democrats or Republicans to tackle an issue whose solution the Constitution, the law, politics and duty overwhelmingly support. Buchanan's answer: Political correctness, political cowardice, political opportunism, a sense of guilt for America's sins and the twin ideologies of "economism" and international liberalism.

Scholar John Attarian gave a name to the cult that has captured the party of Goldwater and Reagan: "economism." To the "economite," the true believer in economism, sovereignty, independence, industrial primacy, the values of community and country, must be sacrificed, should the gods of globalism so command. What's the dominant religion of the past 100 years? Not Christianity! It's the idea of economic growth, the Church of GDP. The belief that EVERYTHING should be subordinated to our economic interests. And of course the Democratic Party sees immigrants, legal and illegal, as future voters who will bury the Nixon-Reagan coalition.

Ours is a nation and culture steeped in and paralyzed by guilt. Prior to the '60s we did not feel the need to apologize for America's past, but took pride in all she had accomplished. That there were sins in our past, no one denied. But Americans did not obsess over wrongs done by previous generations, for compared with all other nations and cultures, America'a history was relatively benign and merited the gratitude of mankind. For the first one hundred and fifty years of her history, America represented one end of the continuum of liberty. We were that "shining city on a hill." Our forefather's kept that light burning brightly but we have failed to be good stewards of our sacred legacy. Worse, we have failed to even understand much less appreciate that legacy. The gradient of values leading to liberty were unambiguously evident to the whole world as long as Americans remained true to their traditions and values. But we have stumbled and succumbed to the false promises of the left. Leftist verisimilitude and deceit has been substituted for that which is authentic and good. Meretricious nonsense masquerades as legitimate thought. And America's beacon of light becomes dimmer and dimmer. Confusion abounds where once there was confidence and certainty. A culture marinated in guilt and self doubt cannot inspire its own people much less the world.

Paradoxically, an America bent to ends of the multicultural Utopians will ultimately be of no good to those who are storming our borders. For the America that they inherit will not longer possess that essence which made our country great to begin with. The relativists and multiculturalists have grossly misunderstood that which made and continues to make America great. For at their core they are materialists and are unable to appreciate any value or tradition more sublime than counterfeit wealth. They have never understood that real wealth inheres not in the superficial manifestations of material well being, but in the wellspring of American values and traditions.

And so these leftist materialists as well as the so called conservative "economites" having stumbled across the greatest wealth ever devised by man, our American constitutional form of government, have failed to recognize this majestic gift and now have set about to destroy it.

This book tells a gut wrenching horror story that will leave many of those who rarely venture from their protective enclaves in disbelief. This is not a pretty story. Many of the facts are unpleasant and fly in the face of political correctness. But our liberties, culture and very lives are at stake. It appears that we are willing to fritter away, in just one generation, the greatest legacy ever confered on a population - all in the name of political correctness. Fortunately, Pat Buchanan is not willing to bow and scrape before the gods of political correctness. I have no doubt that such books as his will in short order become illegal to publish in the USA just as they are now illegal to publish in Europe.

Why Can't We Save Our Own Country?
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2006
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
I can think of few topics which bring about more despair and exasperation than our country's docile acceptance of unfettered immigration. What makes the subject all the more perplexing and disturbing is that the solution to the conundrum is blatantly obvious. We now have more people arriving than we possibly need or are able to support--given the benefits upon which they are bestowed upon entry--and enacting serious restrictions or even a fairly liberal annual quota figure could make the problem go away within a generation or two. Yet, regardless of the ease with which it could be solved, our politicians are steadfast in their refusal to help the people; the same people who were duped into electing them in the first place.

Pat Buchanan's new book, State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, does a better job than any other of illustrating the futility of the current situation. It is a foregone conclusion that no welfare state can embrace open borders for very long and continue to survive. It is only human nature for us to want something for nothing, and any nation dumb enough to make publicly known its "take all comers" masochistic proclivities will quickly become saturated with immigrants--which is exactly what happened to the United States since the 1960s. By winking at illegals and having no real policy with which to separate those we want from those we do not, indigenous labor and earnings are transferred to outsiders as payment for medical bills, education, and welfare. The exponentially rising numbers of new arrivals then provide government with a ready excuse to expand itself and enable it to steal yet more of our earnings in the name of social [in]justice.

In light of the public's growing resentment why do our elites permit this madness continue? Generally, a politician's avoidance of key issues lasts right up until the time they sense they may get thrown out of office, but Buchanan does a masterful job of outlining the way in which political correctness, along with its necessary precondition of white guilt, is the major factor behind our elites' willing complicity in our man-made cultural and economic implosion. White guilt can be defined as the fantastic phenomenon whereby Caucasian Americans, as a result of their being indoctrinated to view slavery and wars of conquest as being unique to western man, are psychological debilitated from taking up their own defense. Of course, feeling guilty about things you haven't personally done is ludicrous, particularly in this case. Foul acts like murder, slavery, and wanton destruction are ubiquitous to humanity, and were committed by peoples all over the world since the beginning of time. That our youth actually buy into this non-sense is a stunning example of just how politicized the field of education has become. Our history has been altered to include a "somebody to blame" link at the bottom of every page, and, due to the despicable machinations of racist radicals, that someone always has a pale face and urinates from the standing position. When these lies about history are combined with the Big Education's reflexive habit of boosting self-esteem for no discernible reason, a lethal combination is derived. Today's Caucasians leave school regarding minorities as pawns for the saving rather than as independently functioning men and women with the same desires as everybody else.

That George W. Bush, just as William Clinton before him, failed in his Constitutional duty to protect the states against invasion is undeniable. Our presidents are no more vested in this nation's future than many of the immigrants who break our laws to get here. One of the side effects of these absurd bifurcations and delineations is that individual patriotism is interpreted as a symbol of intolerance and hatred. Our Bill of Rights and Constitution are the intellectual infrastructure from which a remarkably stable nation has arose. The overwhelming majority of the citizenry possess health, prosperity, and freedom (despite the ever-increasing encroaches upon our private lives by the nanny state). By nearly every statistical measure, ours is a wonderful land. If one examines America realistically, all of these eventualities are easy to detect, but if one juxtaposes America with perfection then they will forever be disappointed; despite perfection being to humans what space travel is to ants.

I think the average person will find State of Emergency well worth their time and investment. It really is quite illuminating. Furthermore, contrary to his reputation, Pat Buchanan says very little here that is controversial. Most of his insights are obvious, which is rather appalling in light of how irresponsibly they are ignored by our rulers. Buchanan argues in his final chapter that it is not too late and that we have a last chance to stem the tide, but I disagree with him. Our elites have already spoken. They have decided to sacrifice our nation as a means to purify their souls and feel good about themselves.
