The United States has been an immigrant country. The Hispanics who come here are largely from Mexico and South America. They are Catholics, but that is an American religion. One-third of our population is Catholic so that does not have the same impact as Muslims coming into Europe.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.
