The French novelist Jean Raspail wrote a tale of dystopic fiction in 1973 that has eerily foretold the disintegration of Western culture that has occurred, owing to mass illegal immigration. Raspail’s book was The Camp of the Saints, and it has since been attacked or praised all around the world. Time Magazine, for instance, blasted it as a “bilious tirade,” but William F. Buckley Jr. praised it as “a great novel” raising questions on how to respond to illegal immigration.

Here, Black Pigeon Speaks uses the novel as a starting point to examine the concepts of open borders and multiculturalism, and how they might destroy or set back civilization.
