I agree we are not far behind Britain at all. But for me I won't leave it to the socialists, communists, muslims, you name it to do with what they want. My heart broke for my America when Clinton was President. And it has gone down hill since then if that was even possible to go down hill any further from his being in the White House.
But for me there is no way I would leave, I would stay and fight anyway I was able to.

Exactly! "If you live in a state where youre being overrun with California liberals fleeing the results of their past political choices, as we are here in NV, you know what Im talking about."
My brother lived in Las Vegas for many years and saw this happening just like you said.

Unfortunately I dont think this nation has the backbone for it. Of course we have the backbone for it, we just haven't arrived at a point where it's needed.
It will cost a city or two, and then our backbone will show. Think Toby Keith and his 'boot in the ass' line.
Buck up. We'll pull through this a stronger nation.

‘Apparently, “modern living” is now the euphemism de jour for savage, murdering, ignorant two-legged animals cutting swaths of mayhem and murder through all Western societies.’
Yep the first inventive rascal who markets a reasonably affordable, failsafe, lasar home security system that wraps around your house or apartment and zaps any and all invaders...is gonna become a gazillionaire...

The Immigration Reform Act of 1965 changed preferences from the well-educated and higher-civilized from countries whose populations happened to be advanced and pale of skin for just the opposite. I believe Evil Ted and his cohorts (under the protective umbrella of Johnson’s “Great Society”) took advantage of the chance to alter the constituency.

How’s the upper half of the LP? say a line a little north of Muskegon across to Houghton Lake to south of Alpena? I’m fed up with S. Florida and starting to look at Michigan and Wisconsin. The part of Wisconsin I like runs SSW from Green Bay to Oshkosh. I grew up in northern Ohio/southern Michigan so I’m not afraid of the weather, really miss it to be honest, 50/60 daytime and 20/30 at night is about heaven in my book!

See mine at #88, any thoughts? I’d be happy to buy a house in MI if it was in a small town like my old home town of Hudson, in Lenawee county, near the Irish Hills, Devil’s Lake, etc.

>>>If we put the Democrat-Socialist party in charge in ‘08 then the same will be said of US in a few years.
Do you count Bush’s support for amnesty as the work of a Democrat-Socialist party?
To: Brandie
You're letting the thread hijackers dictate your posting content, IMO.
It's more about the high cost of housing and the too high taxes citizens are paying for bad government.
If you want to take the position it's because of the high cost of muslim immigrants, fine. But, that's just one of many reasons.

Actually, the folks who pushed the most for the 1965 immigration act were the "white ethnics" in congress, as said act abolished quotas for eastern Europe and Southern Europe. This is why you saw a huge influx of Greeks and Portuguese into the northeast in the late 1960s-1970s, to say nothing of the Russian Jews who came in droves after Jackson-Vanick was passed.
The fact is, the eastern Europeans are going to places like the UK and France, which are VERY CHEAP to fly to when compared to the U.S. Southern Europeans aren't reproducing, although it seems to me that every wealthy Italian keeps a place in Manhattan or Miami these days (the poor Italians being kept fat by Italy's generous welfare state).
Even if we abolished all visa/residency requirements for Europeans, we wouldn't have a much larger influx than we would now. If we gave preference to the skilled and educated, we would probably see more immigration from Asia, with a very slight uptick from Europe.

Those white ethnics were mostly Democrats going along with Ted’s first push after his brother’s assassination. It was a sympathy play that we’ve been paying for for 42 years now. When do you believe we should get back to accepting the brightest and most talented over those that 3rd World nations consider detrimental to their societies?

Australia seems the best bet.
Tell the nephew to also consider The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Two of my Canadian cousins migrated there and are now happy
residents of The Nation of Texas.
As well as being US citizens too.

Bush's support for amnesty is on par with the Democrat-Socialist party...no doubt, but the real problem is the handouts (welfare,housing, health care, all the programs "for the children") b/c they are the reasons that keep the illegals coming and staying. Why go home and reform when handouts are so good here (esp. true throughout the EU).....Socialist programs and handouts keep poor immigrants flowing to the EU and are the reason they stay.
If the Democrat-Socialist party takes charge do you think there is any chance that these programs will decrease or be denied to illegals? Do you think that there is a chance that we will have "National Health care" (aka: Medicaid for all)? Do you think that there is a chance that the borders will be closed? Do you think earmarks for "Undocumented Americans" will decrease?
We have no chance of stopping the socialist slide if a Democrat-Socialist wins the White House and illegals will continue to hop on for the ride. Close the borders and stop giving them a reason to come here, stop the handouts.

You will read more and more stories about this starting in about five years-to-ten, I predict, ABOUT THE UNITED STATES.
Third worldies will be struggling to get in by the millions, via on foot illegally over the southern border as usual, or lined up at Embassies overseas, either way, and on the flip side, even average Americans, not particularly globe-trotting, internationally savvy types, will be trying to find a way out--and from the crippling, social welfare/free medical/free education tax obligations that are going to become an absolute nightmare in America, IMHO.
