Goodness.. not good. Over here we are new to immigration (as opposed to emigration LOL), the migration pump switched polarity in the late '90s, still it id frightening to see the statistics - I don't have ethnic or cultural figures at hand, but I have a rough figure from memory about the religious breakdown in Ireland - Ireland was 95% Catholic ten years ago, it's now 85%(?), such a rapid change couldn't all be blamed on a secular trend in this country, it means basically a huge rise in immigration here in ten years.
I'm afraid English speaking/Christian nations will be a distant memory in the next 100 years.
And how many immigrants to Ireland have actually assimilated to Irich culture? That will be the telling point, and what a large part of the problem is here in the US. It isn't that there have been so many, though it *is* rapidly becoming a problem, it's the breakdown of the traditional assimilation that is really causing the headaches.
There have long *been* people of Mexican heritage here in the US, and the majority of those assimilated just fine. These folks truly did, and still do add to our nation, even though they were *not* treated with absolute fairness from the start, a fact which is readily admitted.
The more recent arrivals, on the other hand, have few skills, little to no education, are unwilling to assimilate, and sadly, are easy prey for the unscrupulous to exploit. I've seen much of it, and even more has my wife, who is herself an Hispanic first generation, legal immigrant. There is more to many conservatives' opposition to the unchecked fiasco we have now, than racism (little to any of that), economic concerns (more of a concern), or security concerns (the greatest concern at the moment to most)...
