Steve Sailer writes: A big hurricane is headed toward the mountainous west coast of Mexico, so don’t be surprised if the Obama Administration subsequently invites into the United States a lot of Mexicans.
As I wrote in Taki’s Magazine in September:
I’m not in the business of making specific forecasts, but let me offer a general concern: There are currently 418 million people in South America, and the U.N. says there will be 510 million by midcentury. What are the odds that at some point something will go wrong in Latin America that interested parties in the U.S. will try to define as justifying our own Camp of the Saints? Last year, the Obama administration tried to pass off Central American gang violence as justification for letting in unaccompanied youths. Next year, it could be an earthquake, hurricane, civil strife, recession, inflation, sexism, homophobia, or transgender insensitivity.
The immigration / refugee program is already in place. From Wikipedia:
Temporary protected status (also called “TPS”) is a temporary immigration status to the United States, granted to eligible nationals of designated countries.
In 1990, as part of the Immigration Act of 1990 (“IMMACT”), P.L. 101-649, Congress established a procedure by which the Attorney General may provide TPS to immigrants in the United States who are temporarily unable to safely return to their home country because of ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions. …
During the period for which a country has been designated for TPS, TPS beneficiaries may remain in the United States and may obtain work authorization.
Anchor babies are American citizens, of course.

What are the odds that the New York Times demand that the Obama Administration put giant Mexico next on the list? In contrast, what are the odds that the New York Times demand that giant Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim use some of his sketchy fortune to alleviate the suffering of his fellow Mexicans in Mexico?
COMMENTS TO STEVE SAILER:
* And yet there are people, maybe even a majority, who will not vote for the one candidate who is even remotely close to being correct about immigration, Donald Trump. God help us if our next president is Hillary Clinton, or one of the establishment GOP types.
Think of it this way: immigration to the United States right now is like a heavy freight train going downhill. As long as the engineer is able to control the train’s speed and its braking, everything is OK. But if the calculations of the train’s weight were incorrect and/or the train begins to go even just a little too fast, even an emergency application of the brakes might not be enough to stop it. Once that threshold has been passed, it is inevitable that the train will gather speed very quickly, hurtling down the line faster and faster, until it eventually jumps the tracks and crashes, obliterating everything and everybody unfortunate enough to be in its way.
Trump is probably all that stands between us and an immigration train wreck right now.
* He already provides telecom services for the Mexicans. What more do you want? Free donkey shows? Free personal moustache rides?
* Rush Limbaugh of all people predicted just this today.
However, we’ve already had our Camp of the Saints, last summer’s “children’s” crusade.
* How many decades will it take Wall Street to recover from Sandy?
* Steve Sailer, the premier content provider of immigration-related information, and not read by Rush Limbaugh? The expected value of that is quite close to zero. Limbaugh either reads Sailer or he has adopted his perspective indirectly. The former is more likely than the latter.
