Immigration is killing us/

Increasing numbers move to study, work and unite with families in the country
move over, Mexico. When it comes to sending immigrants to the U.S., China and India have taken the lead.
China was the country of origin for 147,000 recent U.S. immigrants in 2013, while Mexico sent just 125,000, according to a Census Bureau study by researcher Eric Jensen and others. India, with 129,000 immigrants, also topped Mexico, though the two countries’ results weren’t statistically different from each other.
For the study, presented last week at the Population Association of America conference in San Diego, researchers analyzed annual immigration data for 2000 to 2013 from the American Community Survey.
The mandatory annual survey conducted by the Census Bureau asks where respondents lived the year before. Researchers counted as an “immigrant” any foreign-born person in the U.S. who said they previously lived abroad, without asking about legal status. (So while the data include undocumented immigrants, it may undercount them.)
A year earlier, in 2012, Mexico and China had been basically tied for top-sending country—with Mexico at 125,000 and China at 124,000.

wt@ doesn’t make sense most of those groups work hard. Or were they so GD lazy that they didn’t learn to read English and keep up with politics or even understand the dam difference.
Or is it that WE don’t go into their neighborhoods but Obama’s sons and daughters do and tell them what bad things whitey does!!
Don’t they see and read about who is killing them and raping them and robbing them:? dumb @#$@#s.’
Do my own GD laundry from now on and eat pizza instead General Tso
Many immigrants do vote republican, but they may not overtly declare it.
If they are like my in-law family, they are DEATHLY afraid to commit to politics. My mother-in-law's 14 year old peasant brother was summarily executed in their village when he failed to join the communist militia. Both she and my father-in-law survived that war, and now live most of their life here in the USA.
"Keeping a low profile" brings on a new meaning when you are touched by such events. My mother & father in-law see events in America somewhat differently than many of us. They see events from their past about to repeat again, this time in the USofA. Keep a low profile, survive. Being a member or financial supporter of a political party results in a public record of same. For example, the only result of "googling" my real name is a list of political donations I've made. Oh, and of course, my address is there, too.
In California, individual and group supporters of several different ballot initiative have been exposed and shamed, their live and businesses seriously damaged. We really aren't that far from the next steps; internment re-education camps, summary executions, civil war, and genocide.
Thanks for that intriguing post. Yeah, well, I’ve fit a lot of life in my 46 years and, unfortunately have no kids, so when they ask me to renounce my Christianity or my country i will borrow a VERY TOUGH Italian’s line “now see how an American dies!”
This is not a good thing.
We are being invaded by people who are commies with cash

If by "us", you really mean people who believe in our Republic and the principle within the US Constitution, I'd search elsewhere for the enemy. What's killing us is (internal) subversion of our social pillars of Religion, Education, and Family.
Why would you join the left in wanting more of this? Are you really looking forward to losing Florida for good, and then Texas?
Obama disagreeing with me I can see, but a freeper?
But, they know they've been invited!
The lists go on and on! I know and feel what you're saying! I don't want people in the USA who won't love and nurture it. Illegal immigrants, and the children of illegal immigrants (even those born here), should be deported. Period.
There is a war, now, for the survival of our Constitutional Republic. The war has been "on" since before our official founding. But immigrants, legal or not, aren't killing us, they aren't the enemy! Illegal immigrants are only chaff, blown by the winds of war.
The enemy are those who bait these poor souls to come here. The enemy discourage assimilation of legal and illegal immigrants. The enemy encourage illegal (sans Visa) immigration of criminal gangsters into your neighborhood. The enemy is the party of slavery, now morphed into the party of socialism and communism. A party who's Executor of Law, refuses to follow the law. A party and Chief Executive who refuse to abide by the governance of the people's congress. That's what/who is killing U.S.. Do you know who I'm talking about????
I have yet to meet an immigrant from China - and I’ve met a great many - who didn’t work like a dog long hours for small wages to make good.
It is the legals who vote for everything you say you oppose, and who are overwhelming us.
It is the tens of millions of legal immigrants that make illegals possible.
The democrats rewrote the immigration law in 1965 to do just what it is doing, if you care, then work to end this mass immigration.
The guy down my Street is ethnic Chinese. He's no immigrant. Some of his ancestors came to the US and labored to build the railroads in the 1800s. Paul is a citizen of the USofA. I don't know how Paul votes, but I do know he works his tail off in business machine service and repair. Maybe Paul's silence about politics is similar to my M-I_L: posted here
Mike is a leader in our BSA troop. He and his wife are ethnically Filipino. Kathleen is an US Army Iraq vet. Mike is a USMC Iraq & Afghanistan vet. They are serious Christian conservative Americans.
Another neighbor, Michael, was born in Russia when it was the USSR. He goes back every summer to visit family. Michael is a "Legal". Michael has a Russian passport with a permanent visa issued by the USofA government for his wife and himself to work and live withthin the United States. He built and runs a taxi business here. If either of them vote in a US Federal election, they have commited crimes. "Legal" Micheal and his wife do not vote.
My in-laws are Korean born. No "illegals" in the bunch. Two brothers-in-law, and both parents have Permanent Residents' visas to remain within the US. They are what you would call "legals" and have no right to vote in US Federal elections. My wife is a Naturalized USofA Citizen. Just like my GG and GGG Grand Parents. She is not a "Legal", she is a Citizen, just like me. Except she can't be President of the US. Which is unfortunate, because she's got "balls" way bigger than any US politician. She despises leaches (the semi-human kind), has a tremendous work ethic, a leader in our church, a champion of the family, and knows the real danger of socialism and communism. That attitude runs deep in her family, too. She's quite pretty, and she's mine!
Something else closely related to your chart which I gleen from living in California. California, Bluest of the Blue, is home to a huge chunk (from you chart)of HMONG, LAOTIAN, JAPANESE, CHINESE, KOREAN, FILIPINO, and VIETNAMESE. The other big locations for these ethnicities? New York, Chicago, Hawaii. I'd say the ethic voting records on your chart are very much in alignment with the states and cities where they live. That logic is suppported when you look at Americans of Vietnamese ethnicity. The two states with the largest Viet populations are California and Texas. Of all the "Blue" citizens voting records on your chart, they are the least Blue. I'd guess what's missing is a chart which shows Viet-Californians vote Blue, and Viet-Texans vote Red. For example: There is a range of Asian American political leanings by geographic location.
You said:
Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party are making illegal immigration possible. In fact, they are promoting it to create a Democrat Party dependent underclass and hope to vilify Republicans for opposing their scheme.
Yes - many who take the legal route are conservative and appreciate what we have to offer - something lost on many who let their emotions overrule their brains when someone calls for squashing the illegals and increasing the legal quotas....
No one can even talk to you if you are just going to play childish games of pretend and making things up.
The democrats wrote these immigration laws to overcome the native American vote, and that is what it is doing.
The pre-1965 Immigration Act Americans vote republican, immigrant voters and their offspring make up the democrat voters.
No, many immigrants do not vote republican, the left depends on legal immigration, and everyone here knows that it supports the democrats.
Your source doesn’t compare to Pew, and even your source has 77% of Asians voting for Obama, the same percentage roughly as Hispanic immigrants.
Legal immigration made illegal possible because it became impossible to separate them as they became so numerous, and the left wing vote of the legals made changing the laws and toughening them on illegals impossible.
The VOTE is what runs America, and we are being outnumbered by democrats although traditional America deserted the democrat party two generations ago, and EVERYONE HERE knows that demographics is destiny.
Do you get it, pre-1965 Immigration Act America, is still voting conservative, but we are now literally and obviously in some cases, enthusiastically importing foreigners to defeat our politics and voting.
We Americans are committing suicide.
Thank you Mr. know-it-all. I guess if you say it and include “everyone here” in the assessment, then the science is settled - despite what some of the truly astute have to say (don’t worry, I’m not claiming to be one of the truly astute - I don’t have the same needs as you).
The voting numbers are pretty clear aren’t they?
Do you really want to play that we don’t know how immigrants vote?
To make it worse, only a little over 50% of eligible voters vote compared to 80% or better in most other "democratic" countries - we're giving it away>
Add the fact that we have allowed a 8 year span of lawless destruction of the Nation and economy and it ain't hard to see why it keeps heading south.
So, is Cruz way off base? He seems to think that we can turn it around without cutting legal immigration while squashing the illegals and the impact they have. We have the numbers to make it happen but we don't seem to have the will to get out and vote. No matter who you blame, voter apathy is voter apathy and it is a bigger problem than the current numbers of immigrants/Blacks. White women only vote at 60% of the level that Black women vote.
If not Cruz, then who can fix it? What is the solution to dig out of the hole and start to return to a Constitutional Representative Republic? Is it to eschew a Cruz, who is probably the most Conservative over-all candidate we've had in 30+ years? Is Cruz stupid or a left-wing plant for saying he wants to up immigration and work visas or does he think we can return to our roots while doing what he proposes?
The sources I see put the immigrant voting for abortion and gay marriage, open borders and the democrat party, at closer to 80% than it is to 70%.
Your post is strange in that you try another lie by wanting to pretend that Cruz isn’t my candidate, when what I posted to you in post 34 was this, “””No, many immigrants do not vote republican, the left depends on legal immigration, and everyone here knows that it supports the democrats.”””
Immigration makes America impossible, and it is importing the democrat party and the American left.
I apologize for both the initial and secondary post. I didn't intend to say that Cruz wasn't your choice, I just wondered how you felt about his take since immigration is obviously an important topic to all of us. Many are calling Cruz unclean/unworthy of their votes because of his statement that he wants to increase legal immigration and work visas and my "mouth" overshot my brain due to the preconditioning of others. Once again, I apologize.
