What ones are/were unavoidable?
The ‘browning’ of America is going to happen.
Our immigration policies are what made it happen. Since 1990 we have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants, 87% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG. We are being colonized by the Third World. Do we really need 1.1 million legal immigrants a year at a time when we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years? Do you think it has any connection to the 94 million out of the workforce or that wages are declining and have been for four decades? We have a surplus of labor.
In 1970 one out of 21 was foreign born in this country; today it is less than one in 8, the highest it has been in 105 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. We had 9.7 million foreign born in 1970 and today there are 42.4 million. We have had the two highest decades of immigration in our history. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities, and by 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population compared to 89% in 1970.
Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. They favor Big Government and more services. Immigrants use welfare to a greater extent the native born. They are tearing apart our social safety net and increasing the costs to the taxpayers.
Immigrants are taking American jobs and depressing wages.
believe all the candidates no ‘get’ border security. And the 12 million all ready here we be treated basically the same way. Things are tough yes but can be turned around. I will take my chances with any of them.
You obviously still don't get it on immigration. I am talking about LEGAL IMMIGRATION. We continue to admit 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers annually. Unless we drastically reduce legal immigration, the Dems will be the permanent majority party and the country will be destroyed economically. Demography is destiny.
Only one candidate has proposed reducing legal immigration. That is Donald Trump.
