"This is a thoughtfully written book by a military historian and classics professor who takes a sane, careful look at how California and the entire western states and even the nation is changing as a result of almost-untrammeled illegal immigration. His concerns for the future are sobering indeed and on target. He writes of a burgeoning illegal population who assimilate in terms of wearing American clothes and even knowing about American cultural/entertainment icons but who have no real sense of what America has been and is. He insists there's plenty of blame to go around in terms of why the problem exists, and he warns of a future in which California and other states may be neither fish nor fowl, so to speak. He points out that since Mexico is so close, many of those who come here never really become assimilated.
This man is by no means racist, and he's not among the screamers who would shoot anything that moves north across the border regardless of the reason for the movement. His proposed solutions are thoughtful, workable, and so far quite untried.
This book is written from a somewhat conservative point of view, but I thoroughly enjoyed the author's writing style. This is absolutely not some academic boring monologue. It's filled with stories and examples, and it's really a quick read. If you think at all about the future that people like my grandchildren are growing into, this book needs to be among your nonfiction reads of the year."
"Victor Davis Hanson brings a fascinating perspective to a discussion of illegal emigration. Dr. Hanson knows what he is talking about from experience, and he makes it clear the issue if very complex."
