Mass migration without a Welfare State has been good for the country. I would not be here if it was not for the mass migration of the late 1800s. The issue, as always, is mass migration coupled with a bunch of free government benefits. It is what will destroy us. America is broke and yet we not only continue the spending binge, we are telling more people to join the party on out credit card.
We don’t need mass immigration with or without the welfare state.
Not always so.
The first “progressive” push 100 years ago (that resulted in the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th Amendments) were the result of allowing in hordes of Catholics, who formed the backbone of the union movement in the US, then started the zealotry for abortion and women’s issues.
Catholic-majority countries have been basket cases since the French Revolution, everywhere around the world. The more Catholics we allow into the country, the larger the welfare rolls will become, and the more leftwards our political “center” slides.
What do you think led to a welfare state and destroyed America?
The original Americans are still voting largely as they were 150-200 years ago, look at the immigration battles of a 100 years ago and you will see that conservatives are facing the same thing they always have from the left working to import immigrants who lean in their direction.
After spending a couple days visiting the local maternity ward when my daughter gave birth, I was surprised how many other new babies I was paying for.
