Point, dude, but this isn’t 1880, and the Chinese didn’t immigrate illegally in THESE numbers, and the Catholics (and I am one) didn’t suicide bomb.
Correct. It is 2007 and we are still a nation that people love to emigrate to.
That hasn't changed.
and the Chinese didn’t immigrate illegally in THESE numbers,
The Chinese did not immigrate illegally because there were almost no legal barriers to immigration at all in 1880, as opposed to the stupid, antiquated quota system we have today. The reason why the Chinese didn't immigrate in even greater numbers is because racist Anti-Chinese Leagues pushed for severe restrictions targeting them.
and the Catholics (and I am one) didn’t suicide bomb
I'm Catholic too.
Catholics have never been suicide bombers in this country - but some German Protestants have been - the Haymarket terrorist bombers were from Northern Germany.
