In his 2011 book "The Clash of Civilization and the Remaking of World Order," political scientist Samuel P. Huntington observed the following:
"Some Americans have promoted multiculturalism at home, some have promoted universalism abroad, and some have done both. Multiculturalism at home threatens the United States and the West; universalism abroad threatens the West and the World. Both deny the uniqueness of Western culture."
Immigration lies at the heart of multiculturalism, as the unrelenting influx of immigrants, whether via legal pathways or illegally, has not just deeply influenced American and Western culture overall but also poses an irreversible shift in political power toward the left.
As I explained in a recent essay, the chaos at the U.S. border and the cultural and political ramifications of U.S. immigration policy are due to deliberate choices made at the highest levels of our public and private sectors.
Demographics are, indeed, destiny, and what we're seeing across the West is part of a political project that dates back almost 80 years.
As told in R. R. Reno's excellent book "Return of the Strong Gods," the cataclysmic upheavals of World War I and World War II left an indelible scar on the Western world, characterized not only by the staggering toll of death and destruction witnessed between 1914 and 1945 but also by the ominous shadow they cast over the future of Western civilization itself.
