[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do folks not want more citizens?  Our birthrate is declining. Immigration can save us from the grey spiral.  Do folks not look around?  Look at Europe and Japan (even China now).  Their declining broth rates are going to destroy their economies.  We have (had) hope with immigration.[/quote]

Because they used to be white but now they're brown.

Because we don’t need nor want 2.5 million additional uneducated, illiterate, unskilled cash pay illegal economic migrants a year nor their 4.38 anchor babies per female.

That was your ancestors 120 years ago and here you are![/quote]

Nope they were legal immigrants literate in their own language, educated and skilled.

No ESOL or welfare available for their children.

Plus extensive welfare, tax, and social and public good systems in American did not yet exist. Neither did all 50 states. [/quote]

You mean they were white Europeans, just go ahead and say it.[/quote]

Most European immigrants that came over prior to 1930 were not highly educated or skilled either. We’ve done this every 60 years or so - complain about current wave of immigrants without recognizing our own.

Poor British came. Then they complained about the poor Scottish. They they complained about the poor Irish who came in the 1880s. Then their children complained about the poor Italians and Polish. And the complaints about the Jews fleeing Russia. Then the children of all those groups complained about the Chinese and Japanese. Then the Mexicans.  It goes on and on and on.

Anyone claiming their highly educated family came in 1880 is either lying or ignorant or cherry picking data. [/quote]

+1. Huddled and unwashed masses.  
I heard a comedian remark that they weren’t sending their best.  
Part of my family came very early in this country’s history.  Of course it was to Georgia which was some sort of debtor’s penal colony at the time.  The rest all came through other immigrant booms and they were poor as dirt and it’s a very “colorful” history with a lot of problem children that some documenter of my family’s history was very open about.  
Assimilation takes generations, and it’s foolish to claim our country hasn’t been shaped and formed by the past immigrant waves.  
Immigration has often been an ugly and unwelcoming affair, MAGA has dialed it up several notches.  [/quote]
