The making of ‘a dazzling and complex composite’

April 1, 2010/in
By:

Mark Bowden

In:

Philadelphia Inquirer

“In his new book The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050, Joel Kotkin notes that America has the highest fertility rate of any advanced country, primarily because of its nonwhite citizens. It remains the primary destination of the world’s migrants, and no matter how many walls and laws are put up, they will keep coming.”

“Some worry that becoming a ”dazzling and complex composite” will destroy our heritage. It is fulfilling it.

It is why America remains the model in a world where borders are so easily crossed, and where class barriers are falling victim to education and instant global communication. It is why America remains the antidote to all forms of tyranny. It is the nation we were destined to be.”
