“The children born in 2006 will witness in their lifetime the death of the West.”

So writes syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan in a compelling new book, “State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America.”

According to the Drudge Report, Buchanan’s sure-to-be-controversial work “is designed to jolt readers with stats and analysis of illegal immigration gone dangerously wild.” The book shot to No. 2 on Amazon.com’s list of best sellers even before its official August 22 release date.

Drudge cites these troubling disclosures from “State of Emergency,” which TownHall.com calls Buchanan’s “most important book to date”:

One in every 12 people “breaking into” America has a criminal record.

By 2050, there will be 100 million Hispanics concentrated in the U.S. Southwest.

Between 10 and 20 percent of the populations of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean have already moved to the U.S.

Each month, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehends more illegal aliens entering the country, 150,000, than there are American troops in Iraq.

Buchanan charges the Mexican regime with mounting a conscious effort to use the U.S. as a dumping ground for its poor and unemployed to relieve social pressure and bring about what would amount to a re-annexation of the American Southwest, Drudge reports.”La Reconquista, the reconquest of the lands lost by Mexico in the Mexican-American War, Buchanan charges, is underway.

”Buchanan, who ran for president on the Reform Party ticket in 2000, has harsh words for President Bush, writing that his failure to secure America’s borders is a dereliction of constitutional duty that, in other times, would have called forth articles of impeachment.

Buchanan broadens his scope to include Europe, and compares the immigrant invasion of the West to the barbarian invasions that ended the Roman Empire: “As Rome passed away, so the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended.”

“Last Chance,” Buchanan lays out a national plan to deal with the “State of Emergency” before it is too late:

Launch a deportation program, beginning with all illegal aliens convicted of felonies and all gang members who are not U.S. citizens.

Place a 10-year limit on legal immigration at the level JFK favored in 1958 – 150,000 to 250,000 a year.

Build a $10 billion, 2,000-mile security fence between the U.S. and Mexico – with no apologies to Mexico City.
