[quote=Anonymous][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]

You left out the part where the Europeans came over legally, with documents, with health checks, with sponsor dollars. Not illegally crossing a land border and disappearing or claiming a fake sob story.

You also left out the part where the Europeans were at least literate and schooled in their home country, and even trades.

Today we get illiterates in their home language and have never been in a school room. Central American countries, x-Mexico, don’t even mandate public education beyond age 12.

Europeans were not literate or legal when they came here. You never heard of Ellis Island? Tenements? Prohibition gangsters? All white immigrants? The term WAP meaning without papers used as a slur for Italians. WASP’s hired blacks as domestics over white immigrants who were looked at as bottom of the barrel and criminals.

It seems white Americans like to whitewash the real history of the Italians, Irish, Germans, Jews, Polish etc and the real stories behind WASPs hating white immigrants, Catholics, and Jews [/quote]
