America Balkanized - Immigration’s Challenge to Government

by Brent Nelson
Ph.D.148 pages, hardback, published 1994
$10.00
  • The issue of national identity versus multiculturalism grows ever more important as America faces the 21st century. Massive immigration and self-assertion by racial and cultural groups point to an increasingly diverse country.
  • Can diversity become so great that unity becomes a vain hope? The splintering of Lebanon and former Yugoslavia suggests this possibility. Are their tragedies a fate our own country may face, or are we a special case with powers to harmonize all diversity?
  • America Balkanized by Dr. Brent Nelson tries to provide an answer through research and well-reasoned argument. Dr. Nelson maintains that America’s powers of assimilation are not infinite. To imagine that we are an exception to the rules and limits that govern other nations is not optimism, but fatal arrogance.
  • With this guideline foremost in mind, Nelson surveys the issues of immigration (with particular reference to the growing Hispanic population), conflict management, and the requirements of nationhood.
  • He believes that today’s record levels of immigration should be cut to prevent the rise of ethnic power blocs which will place their own agendas ahead of the country as a whole.
  • Should that happen, an increasingly powerful government will have to come in to mediate between the opposing factions. Such a state would tend to be authoritarian and thereby endanger traditional American freedoms. Yet, like the former Soviet Union, it still might fail to hold divided camps together.

The Coming Anarchy

by Joseph Wayne Smith and Evonne Moore
94 pages, paperback, published 2000
$6.00

   Dr. Joseph Smith, in his book The Coming Anarchy, maintains that the conflict between globalism and nationalism is the best perspective for understanding the issue of immigration. Globalists want a one-world economy--and a one-world state. Immigration for them is not a problem. Nationalists want to maintain distinctive cultures, countries and ways of life. For them immigration, at least on a large scale, is a problem.
   Globalists generally reside among the wealthy and influential classes. They present their cause as one of "progress" and nationalism as something inferior and backward. Today the globalists have the advantage.
   But this edge will not last indefinitely, Dr. Smith maintains. With a wealth of documentation, he demonstrates that the economic and political centralization of globalism is inherently top-heavy and unstable. Eventually this great scheme will collapse, and national components will rise again.
   Consequently, he believes, those patriots who struggle to protect their national identities through immigration reform and other measures are not struggling in vain.

Economism and the National Prospect

by John Attarian
72 pages, paperback, published 2001
$6.00 ($5.00 each for 2 or more copies)

   Some people support mass immigration because they can only see the issue in terms of short-term profit and loss. They are classic examples of people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Author John Attarian calls them "economites" in his book Economism and the National Prospect.    Dr. Attarian argues that the economite mindset, if unchecked, will destroy America. In the spirit of Christ's statement that "Man does not live by bread alone," Dr. Attarian maintains that a society which values money above religion, patriotism, culture, and esthetics will collapse. At that point, ironically, it also will lose the ability to make money.    Immigration control, he affirms, is essential to maintaining our country as a viable spiritual entity. He does not disparage the market economy, but urges a proper balance of material and nonmaterial values.

The Immigration Mystique

by Chilton Williamson, Jr.
202 pages, 1998 AIC Foundation paperback edition with a new foreward by the author
$9.00
  • The interests pushing massive immigration often try to silence opposition by endlessly repeating that “we are a nation of immigrants” and that immigration has always “enriched America.” They claim that opening our doors to the world is the only moral and ethical position, and that anyone who disagrees probably does so from evil motives.
  • An excellent refutation of these claims is Chilton Williamson’s The Immigration Mystique. Williamson, a former editor for National Review and current editor for Chronicles, sets the record straight on the history of immigration to the U.S. and effectively establishes immigration control on the moral high ground.
  • He points out that past immigration was not always the golden success story that immigration advocates paint today. Indeed, what prevented disaster was that the nation enjoyed periodic breaks from immigration to permit assimilation of newcomers.
  • On morality, Williamson affirms that vices, rather than humanitarian virtues, underlie today’s immigration policies. Chief among them are arrogance and pride. With no regard for humility or prudence, immigration backers proclaim that America can uplift the entire world by bringing much of the world here. It doesn’t matter that no other country has ever tried such a dubious project. They seem to believe that America is exempt from all the limitations that restrain lesser countries.
  • If such arrogance continues, Williamson wryly suggests, the nation might consider changing its motto from “In God We Trust” to “God We Are.”
  • Williamson calls on Americans to view immigration in a new light, and deal with it in a more honest and realistic way. The yearning for cheap sentiments and cheap labor, he warns, is a pathway to disaster.

Immigration Out of Control - The Interests Against America

-- by John Vinson
64 pages, paperback, published 1992
$2.00 for one copy; 3 or more copies, $1.00 each
  • Altruism and kindness are not the motivating forces behind this nation’s open door to immigration. Today, as well as in the past, vested interests in government, business, law, and religion have manipulated sentiments about immigration for the sake of profits and power. Vinson’s booklet identifies these interests and outlines their tactics against reasonable limits on immigration.
  • It also provides a brief history of immigration and an overview of what massive immigration is now costing the nation.
  • In other chapters it argues the ethical case for immigration control, answers pro-immigration arguments, and provides suggestions on what individual citizens can do to promote reform.
  • The booklet affirms that immigration control is a positive and constructive policy to preserve the positive values of American nationality.

Importing Revolution

by William Hawkins
209 pages, paperback, published 1994
Price Reduced to $7.00
  • Many Americans involved in immigration control efforts never cease to be amazed at how well their opposition is organized and financed. Let any controversy related to immigration come up, and almost immediately “immigrant rights” groups spring up, usually with high-powered attorneys ready to litigate.
  • Importing Revolution by William Hawkins is a revealing exposé on a major network of these groups, their motives, and their leading source of funding. His detailed research reveals a very disturbing picture.
  • Members of this network are far-left radicals occupying key positions in such organizations as the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the National Lawyers Guild. The Ford Foundation is a leading financier behind their activity.
  • Often citing statements from these individuals, Hawkins maintains that some resist reasonable controls on immigration for the purpose of destabilizing American society — and ultimately to promote revolution.
  • Importing Revolution offers powerful rebuttal to those who claim that, somehow, massive immigration will “all work out in the end.” That is not likely when powerful interests behind it are purposefully aiming toward other goals.

The Path to National Suicide: An Essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism

by Larry Auster
90 pages, paperback, published 1990
$3.00 for one copy; 2 or more copies, $2.00 each
  • Auster offers excellent insight into the historical background and national psychology that brought the United States to the crisis of immigration it currently faces.
  • He traces passage of the 1965 Immigration Act, the law that initiated the crisis. The sponsors of the 1965 act strongly denied that it would bring the massive Third World immigration we face today, and even conceded that such an outcome was undesirable.
  • The nation refuses to admit its mistake, says Auster, because we have come to “idolize” ourselves as “a nation of immigrants.” This attitude, he maintains, has nothing to do with national heritage or compassion. It is self-destructive arrogance.
  • The book has an excellent discussion of racism and why it is not racist for the United States or any other country to defend its culture and heritage. It concludes with a strategy to reform our immigration policy.
