printThe transatlantic relations are worth fighting for, laments the Economist, a progressive news magazine. Europe and America must work to stop their relationship from unraveling.
Just about in every issue, the same progressives (excellent journalists, for sure) celebrate that America is on its way to becoming a minority-majority country.
It’s inexplicable, then, that the economist proceeds to bitterly bewail the fact that, “America is becoming less European. A century ago more than 80% of its foreign-born population came from Europe; now the figure is only 10%. Surging economies in Asia are tugging America’s attention away.”
AND,
Europe inevitably counts for less in American eyes than it once did. The generation that formed bonds fighting side-by-side in the second world war is passing away and even the cold war is becoming a distant memory.
READ: “Europe and America must work to stop their relationship unraveling.”
Trump is certainly not retarding the trend:
Trump gets a fail from @MarkSKrikorian's Center for Immigration Studies. @CIS_org. It's hard to argue with the facts. https://t.co/uNwP1YOQUm
