I think it's a good thing that nativists are starting to admit openly that "slowing demographic change" (i.e. racial engineering) is their primary goal.
Andrew Sullivan thinks it's OK for him to immigrate to America, because he's white, so this immigration doesn't cause "demographic change".

It's nonwhite immigrants he thinks should be barred from coming.
If you think a white immigrant is preferable to a nonwhite immigrant, all else equal, because the former slows demographic change and the latter speeds it up, then you ARE trying to racially engineer the population.

Is that the kind of country America ought to be??
In my opinion, a central part of the whole idea of America is that people's worth - how much they deserve to share in the American dream - shouldn't be judged by their effect on racial demographics.

You may have a different viewpoint, but that is what I think.
Anyway, I think it's good that nativists are saying this openly.

No taboos.

If you think America ought to be a nation for white people only, don't couch it in economic or legal arguments. Just say it.

And I will fight you in the arena of honest opinion.
