No that’s fundamentally different now. It just is. The immigrants coming now come from cultures vastly different from the cultures in the West. They look very different so racism plays a role. But ultimately yeah if the newcomers have nothing or very little in common and genuinely don’t believe in the values of T he blew country well I don’t know

But if a culture wants to create something fundamentally different than what my culture here is, why should that be respected? I don’t want women to never work and be on welfare bc their religion forbids them from leaving the house without a man and they have children they can’t afford (see Muslim population in Denmark as one example).

It's a bit different in Germany. Germans are heavily encouraged to have immigrants live with them in their households. The government will pay for you to house Ukrainians but even so, they exist together in a way that doesn't happen here in the US. When they took a bunch of Syrian and Afghan migrants, they plopped them by handfuls into little German villages, etc. The idea was full integration. It hasn't really "taken." I have a weird penchant for talking to new immigrants in Germany about their experiences and every one of them has mentioned that Germany is difficult to assimilate into and that they want to go home. Even Germans that work in the social system to help immigrants express disdain for their cultures-- Americans have a lot to work on, but we generally believe that cultures should be respected. That isn't a super European viewpoint.

AfD won the Thuringia election, and seemed to have a blocking minority in Saxony. Then a "software error" was discovered that just happened to take away a seat from AfD.

Its amazing what the AfD is managing to do despite all the official resistance it gets from established parties.

Europe has a long history of population migration and cultural mixing. Some instances worked out relatively alright... many did not... just like the rest of the world.

The US is not a country of immigrants. Historically the vast majority of Americans were born Americans. We are approaching the peak levels of foreign born in the late 19th century, about 15%.

That's not what ^PP is saying. They are saying that the US is a nation built by immigrants - Europeans, Asians, Africans.. etc.. Not so for the rest of Europe, or 99% of other countries.

The AfD’s rise is the backlash to bad immigration policy. I just posted this in the thread on supporting Trump because of immigration:

The rise of the white supremacist far right in Germany is the backlash to the unchecked influx of migrants that Merkel allowed. Resentment creates backlash. We’ll see the same in America as long as Democrats’ ass-backwards “progressive” immigration policies continue.

The irony is that we need a hard stop to Democrats’ bad ideas in order to prevent the complete take over of the fringe far right. Anyone who doesn’t want an American version of the AfD to rise needs to vote for a hard stop to Democrats’ immigration policies.

In the US, the immigrants now are Catholics, just like the Irish and Italians. Of course since the borders are wide open others come through.

In Europe the immigrants are Muslims. Racism or not, the reality is that these people often have a very different worldview.
