America’s Camp of the Saints moment still building

In Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel, a fleet of ships carrying a million bedraggled South Asian refugees lands in the South of France, and in response to this crisis the French polity collapses. In America today, millions of illegal, unassimilable, and hostile aliens are rising up within America, hoping to have an effect on America similar to what happened to France in Raspail’s fictional nightmare.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters)—Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for May 1 will flood U.S. streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform.

Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protests since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos—nor their leaders—were comfortable with such militancy, fearing a backlash in Middle America.

“There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We’re going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno,” said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it debates the issue.

We can also count on Bush—and much of the political establishment—to keep showing their hand: anti-American and aggressive.
