In his book, State of Emergency, Pat Buchanan argues for an “immediate moratorium on all immigration.” The purpose of moratorium, according to Buchanan, is for Americans to “debate and decide whom we wish to come and whether we wish to alter, or preserve, the ethnic religious composition of American.”

Today on CNN, John King asked Buchanan if he “wants to set a policy where only white english-speaking people can come to America.” Buchanan said that “the American people should decide who comes.” Buchanan added that he believes “we should favor folks from cultures and civilization that have been assimilated before,” i.e. white Europeans.

BUCHANAN: Pat would say the American people should decide who comes, John. We have 36 million immigrants in this country. 12 million folks here illegally. More illegal aliens than all the Jews, Irish and English who ever came. The American people want the border secured, and I think they support a time-out. But if you want a time out you have to have a certain number. As John F. Kennedy said 150,000 to 250,000. Who should decide who comes and what are the criteria? I do believe we should favor folks from cultures and civilization that have been assimilated before. But the purpose of the moratorium is like the moratorium we had from 1924 to 1965 — to assimilate, americanize and introduce all these folks to our language and culture, and history and heroes, and make ‘em Americans.

1. I don't ever want to hear anyone on this site ever say

"wow, maybe Pat Buchanan isn't so bad after all!" ever again. Just because he's against Bush doesn't mean he has any other redeeming qualities.

[Ilsa]

7. Pat's true colors emerge and remind the Dems of a good

reason to keep the SOB at arms' length. Go ahead and give him enough rope to hang Bushco, but treat him as if he was H5N1 (Bird Flu).

[QuestionAll...]

8. well put.

Pat is an asshole first and an occasional useful one second.

2. Seig Heil, Pat!

Remeber, even though he's against the neo-cons, Pat is a mutant all his own. He's old school right wing. Kinda like the National Socialists, a.k.a. Nazis. :D

3. Funny, I was taught Irish heros growing up and as far as the "American"

ones, "those don't matter, we weren't here then." At least taught this by more than a few family members.

4. I'm glad he said it

It exposes the true motive of the anti-immigrant right-wing

[yellowcanine]

5. Didn't Pat also once write about he and his brother turning the garden

hose on their black housekeeper (and how she was such a good "sport" about it) when they were growing up in their mostly white Washington D.C. neighborhood in the 1950's?

6. I think we have decided the guidelines in immigration qualifications

into the United States. And if they want to enforce immigration laws, they need to start with fining employers who hire illegal immigrants (but they need to be fair and allow the employer, once enterig a social security #, that the person they hired was illegal). If there were no employment opportunities for illegal immigrants, then there wouldn't be so many illegal immigrants in the USA. Lets face it, most American's don't even like this country all that much right now. I couldn't imagine being an illegal with absolutely no rights.

9. Ease up on Pat, he lost a relative at Auschwitz!

One of his uncles got drunk, fell out of the guard tower, and broke his neck.
