I doubt most people in Florida presently drive around in Beamers, Mercedes’s, Audi’s, Volvos’s and Cadillac’s.

I don't know about Florida, but in California there are huge areas where you will find almost nothing but those high-end cars...and other areas where you won't see one at all. The United States has become many separate nations in one large geographical area - we've lost much of our national unity over the last quarter century. These categorizations arent about race or nationality, but outlook: We have a "Sweden", consisting of much of California, Oregon, Washington, New England; we have a "Poland/Ukraine" consisting of much of the Midwest; we have an "African/Caribbean/Latin American" nation in the Southeast; we have a multi-racial criminal underclass in most major cities; and we have a Mexico everywhere...for reasons that are self-explanatory. To Europeans trying to look at the USA as one country, the symptoms they see are understandably very confusing. In most cases, these internal "nations" don't understand each other, either. ;)

- Very interesting.

In one way, I think immigration to the US is an advantage, as long as we’re talking people who come to your country to work hard and become moral, law abiding citizens.

From other aspects, this influx might not be beneficent for the country as a whole.

“we’ve lost much of our national unity over the last quarter century.”

- I keep hearing this from a lot of Americans.

Being a person with high regards of the US and many positive memories from visiting the US, I must say this not only worries me. It also saddens me.

Despite of this, I’m convinced Conservatism and love of freedom will prevail.
