David Leonhardt, New York Times, July 11, 2023, thinks that there is a backlash against immigration. Bear in mind that the New York Times is a massively pro-immigration media. He notes that the natives are worried about the sheer mass of foreigners, who are changing the culture, and for the working class, offering cheap labour to replace them. The message made is that while there are “racists” who object to racial replacement, wanting lower immigration is not necessarily evil. Well, I guess that is something, a small concession from a generally pro-immigration source.
The real challenge is going to come with the impending economic collapse, coming on many fronts. This will dissolve the last remaining softness, that came from post-World War II affluence, which allowed all of this replacement migration to get into full-swing anyway.
