Myanmar Refugees Changing Face Of Connecticut

For those of you dissatisfied with the rate of America's ethnic transformation, take heart -- there's a virtually untapped, literally endless supply of Third World immigrants from a new section of southeast Asia making itself felt in this country -- and many, many more are on their way:

In the past five years, hundreds of thousands of political refugees, mostly from eastern Europe, Africa and southeast Asia, have been resettled in American cities, according to the U.S. Department of State. In Connecticut, they are transforming the face of metropolitan areas like Hartford, challenging the image of the state's cities as Hispanic and African American urban cores ringed by white suburbs.

(Hmmm -- whenever similar housing patterns are described here in the South, there's always a long and preachy tsk-tsk about the "Southern legacy" of slavery and Jim Crow. Wonder why Connecticut gets off so easy?)

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, we can expect to see much more of this newest wave of Third-World immigration -- thanks, apparently, to George W. Bush, who is noted in the article as having visited Burmese refugee camps with his wife Laura. And it looks like W. is getting help from the UN importing his latest favorite ethnic group to America:

Than Htay (pronounced Thon Tay), 24, who arrived in Hartford in June, is one of about 23,000 Burmese refugees who have legally immigrated to American cities in the past two years under a United Nations resettlement program. It is the U.N.'s largest such effort.

Has there been a more extreme internationalist in the White House than George W. Bush? Can either Obama and McCain rival him? We know this much -- they'll do their very best to beat him. The only mystery is whether America will be turned into a Third-World colony in the name of progressivism or conservatism.

The suspense is killing me.
