Who Will Control America's Arsenal?

Handing Mexico the Bomb?
    If President Bush succeeds in pushing his guest worker program, it will lead to the legalization of half of Mexico, not to mention Central and South America. Some, including former Undersecretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, argue that the United States will become a Third World country in twenty years.
    As of January 2006, the U.S. stockpile contains almost 10,000 nuclear warheads (Bulletin of Atomic Scientists). Who thinks we won't still have hundreds if not thousands of nuclear weapons in twenty years?
    Bush is concerned about Iran's nuclear potential. Losing the demographic war with Mexico means it could dominate large parts of the U.S. Under these conditions a Mexican nationalist might have the votes to become president. If our Congress and the presidency are dominated by Third Worlders, especially Mexicans, is that the same as handing Mexico the bomb?
