Apparently comes from economist George Borjas--the Cuban "exile" who wonders why other immigrants aren't just like him. I'd wondered about that. Here's a link from VDARE.

V-DARE — shorthand for Virginia Dare, the first English child to be born in what is now the United States — is a web site run by a "coalition" whose most prominent member is Peter Brimelow.
Brimelow, a leading anti-immigration activist and author of Alien Nation, argues that America is historically a predominantly white nation, and that Americans have a right to demand that it remain that way.
A past columnist for the conservative National Review, Brimelow says he once considered adding a fictional end to his Alien Nation, a nonfiction critique of immigration, about the last white family to leave Los Angeles....
Brimelow has close ties to several other leaders on the anti-immigration scene, among them John Vinson of the American Immigration Control Foundation, Llewellyn Rockwell and Jeffrey Tucker of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and John H. Tanton of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=175
We used to see direct links at DU to propaganda from the somewhat more respectable anti-immigrant groups. But the SPLC is good at exploring the connections.
That "supply & demand" phrase has been cropping up a lot lately. Now--we know the source!
