Fearful? No more worried about having to work an extra day a week just to pay for all their free $hit when they breed like rats and cause more crime, overcrowd us and drain our natural resources while getting a little too big for their pants and acting like spoiled brats.

“The most plausible interpretation is that working-class whites are experiencing a pervasive sense of vulnerability”

A sense? No. It’s a fact

This writer might be sensing a vulnerability. I’m sure the Mexicans are.

No. It’s over. Our country is going to be America. And with borders. Not a minute before 20 January 12 noon EST but immediately after.

At least Brookings is looking into it.

Liberals like Obama just dismiss middle class whites as bitter clingers.

When “immigration” really means a loss of national sovereignty why wouldn’t any one be worried?

Looking into what? This is open borders nonsense

They do not mean legal immigration what they are really talking about is a loss of sovereignty

I think the article accurately reported how middle-class whites feel threatened, and did not dismiss it as unfounded.

With the rise of the Third Reich, the German Jews are fearful.

I know they’re leftist. That’s why I remarked on the usual dismissive attitude of liberals.

It is not a matter of feeling dismissed.

Starting decades ag the open borders people have been pushing their agenda. The facts are that massive immigration destroys national sovereignty. Why isn’t any Arab country taking them?

All it does is accuse white people of being anti immigration. Why joy poll other Americans?

Wrong! Obama doesn’t dismiss whites people. He demonizes them.

Yes. The Jews were Naziphobic.

It didn't accuse me enough. I'd like to mass deport all the illegals (and most of the legals).

I am a college educated white however my education came BEFORE universities filled our heads full of propaganda favorable towards globalism and climate change!!!

College educated whites are more likely to feel guilty for being white and successful. Having more than most, liberal college indoctrination and a general lack of common sense account for the lack of fear over immigration and terrorism.

The white working class is footing all the bills.

With an almost 2 to 1 ratio between working-class whites and college-educated whites (Educational Attainment in the United States: 2015) I would say the premise of the article is faulty.

Much like with armies, fear isn't found in greater numbers, it's found in lesser numbers.
