[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well immigration *was* the answer [/quote]

Grrr this answer always upsets me. And not because I am anti immigrants. Why are we relying on immigrants instead of letting our population have children? Dh and I are now UMC, but we waited until our mid 30s to have kids because we couldn’t afford it from 25-35. We didn’t have maternity leave and also couldn’t afford to be a sahm. I have so many other friends who would like to have had a second or third child and couldn’t afford it. [/quote]

We are mostly a nation of immigrants. It’s why we had drive and made so many innovations. Too many generations of people who didn’t have first hand experience with the alternative made us soft.[/quote]

We are not mostly a nation of immigrants. Stop with this propaganda. Throughout US history the vast majority of US citizens were born in the US as citizens. Do you understand what "mostly" means?[/quote]

Not that many native Americans here my friend.  Everyone else, including your ancestors immigrated at some point in time.  You really that dense?[/quote]

I know you’re trying to be smart but PP specifically said US history, which implies history of the United States specifically, vs North American history. Good try though. [/quote]
