In my girlfriend's old neighborhood in Brooklyn what was once nothing but Italians and Irish is now almost entirely Chinese boarding houses.
They are supposed to be single-family dwellings, but the Chinese move in and rent out the rooms, ten or more to a room, you can see it in block after block after block, and no one gives a damn.
And they never assimiliate. There's no flags flown on Independence Day, no one speaks English so you can say "good morning."
It's literally no different than if they were living in Shanghai or Kowloon.
It's so sad...we're seeing the destruction of our nation.
Immigrants in the past loved America and taught their kids to become America.
Watch the movie Moscow on the Hudson and see all the Russian immigrants struggling to learn the constitution, to learn English.
Not now...the Mexican immigrants wave the Mexican flag and boo Anglo teams, the Chinese act as if they are living in Beijing, not America and the Arabs keep their chadors and hatred of our Western ways.

Do you still believe that non-European/non-Christian immigrants are good for our country and culture? That all immigrants are... well.... "equal"? I ask these questions in all seriousness.
You are seeing the results of "immigration reform" (i.e., the decision back in 1965 to open American immigration to non-Euros) with your own eyes.
We have brought this upon ourselves, as a result of our own self-destructive behavior and unwillingness to appreciate our Euro-culture and ethnic heritage as unique and special in the world. A cultural tragedy of the commons.
