I had relatives (aunt and uncle) who lived in Edison in the 1970s and 1980s. They were good working people, and told me straight out that Edison (at least the area near Piscataway) had a lot of "underachieving Americans" at that time, and complained about it incessently. Edison also had one of the most corrupt Democratic administrations in the state (and that is saying alot), so that even uberLeftist current Mayor Jun "Bok" Choi is an improvement over the prior adminstration.

I didn't mean to offend anybody, just pointing out what was commonly said back in the day.

I will say this, as I’ve said before, the issue isn’t JUST about the criminal entry (or continued presence) of illegals it’s the fact that some immigrant cultures are superior to others.

I would take the same 20 million Indians, legal or not, over 20 million Mexican or Salvadoran peasants. Mostly the same with the Chinese.

I mean seriously, when was the last time Jayesh Patel killed four kids on a school bus, raped and murdered a schoolgirl or drunkenly decided to stab someone at a bar? Or go to the emergency clinic for basic health care?

It’s not racism as Indians and Chinese are certainly not European whites. It’s a cultural thing.

We’d be better off even with Argentinian or Chilean illegals.
