Unless the world of tomorrow is a world where modern technology has been somehow lost, then I can't see the situation changing that much.
Perhaps you mean to say that tomorrow our governments might decide they have fulfilled their quotas and bring mass immigration to a halt?

What is important is to preserve the past, destroy the present and build the future. Because we are focused in preserving only the past we are losing the battle for the present and will be destroyed in the future.

The present situation is that an immigrant can jump on a plane at Hong Kong, New Dehli or Nairobi airport and come straight into our countries, completely circumbenting all surrounding nations.

The fight for the Nation is a noble ideal. The fight for Europe is also the fight for the name and it is a noble ideal which demands sacrifice for others. Only through accepting those sacrifices will we be building a bright and better world.

Now that's a soundbite 
Of course, I agree.

The traditions of the Irish people are the oldest of any race in Europe north and west of the Alps, and they themselves are the longest settled on their own soil
- Edmund Curtis (A History of Ireland: From Earliest Times to 1922)
The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
- Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596).
The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation.
- Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature
Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation.
- Heinrich Zimmer, Professor of Celtic and Sanskrit, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences
