[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, why do all of you support open US borders with no restrictions? What do you hope it will accomplish? What would your ideal United States look like in 10-20 years, in terms of society and demographics?[/quote]

No one supports that, including this president and administration, so your premise is flawed.

The fact is, there is more money being spent at the border, more interdictions, more apprehensions, more deportations. So to suggest that there is somehow support for open boarders is pure right wing fantasy.

As to the shift if culture in the coming decades, it will be what naturally evolves. I don't see people complaining now about the rise of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell or other "cultural" food establishments as they did when they were first created and came into the national consciousness. Our country is a melting pot, by design and frankly, we are better for it. Imagine being stuck with eggs, chicken, salt and ham as a base cuisine as it was 150 years ago. Imagine having life with the various music and dance inputs over the past 100 years - we would all still be doing The Charleston or something lame like that. Imagine not having the scientific advancements as a result of immigrants having the freedom to discover in the US over the past 100 years.

What a sad world that would be. Just because you and your family are here now, doesn't mean things will fall of a cliff as you are predicting. Do you know how I know? Because the rhetoric you are expressing has been repeated time and time again, whether it was "the Jews," the eastern Eurpoeans "the Pols" "the Czecks" the south Americans, the Mexicans, the irish, the Italians, the Hmongs, you name it, they have been castigated, mostly by white protestants, but generally by anyone who is already here. And yet, generally speaking, our country is better, more diverse and more culturally enriching than any other on the planet.

That should be celebrated, not condemned.[/quote]
