I am around a lot of immigrants ; Indians , Africans , Asians , Pacific Islanders . So few speak English well . Their kids do . All speak heavily accented versions of English , esp Indians , whom despite haven;t been speaking English for centuries still insist on corruption their V’s to W’ and W’s to V’s . Why? Are they not aware of how the word(s) are spelled ? All these ‘immigrants’ chatter away to one another in their families in their foreign languages , esp the Indians . No one around them has any idea what they are talking about and feel hesitant to speak to them . They are thus insular within their little family unit . In public . Yet, if you ask them where they are from , they tell you ‘Baltimore’ , or some such . As if we real Americans are fooled . Suggestion : You want to speak entirely in your native dialect ? Go back to Bangalore , or wherever . Then there is the Pacific islanders . Here for all the jobs and benefits ( Thanks Bill Clinton!) but zero cultural or linguistic engagement with America or Americans . On top of which they are scary drivers ! Just recently out of their canoes I guess . Have immigrants to America always been like this ? Doubtful . I agree with Kelly : “They don’t speak English, obviously,” he said. “That’s a big thing. They don’t speak English. They don’t integrate well.” 100% true.

The idea that immigrants don’t learn English, don’t assimilate, don’t contribute, take jobs from American workers, and are more prone to be criminals has been knocked down by study after study after study and is in no way supported by data.

Okay Rex, how about the studies on ILLEGAL immigrants. Don't put legal immigrants in the same basket as the criminal invaders. Nice try, dumba$$.

Deport yourself. Why should conservatives always foot the bill for communists?

Maybe you should have the teeth beaten out of your lying Democrat face, Rex.

It was enjoyable reading Rex's Twitter feed from election week, November 2016, with the sneering before the vote, and the constant soiling of his adult diapers after President Trump won.

Another week, another "OMG! Trump!" hair-on-fire screed by a smug little nobody. I haven't noticed much overtly different in my day to day life in the past year since Trump has been in office. No stormtroopers goosestepping down any streets, or anything like that. If Felonia Von Pantsuit would have won, we would have had stuff like that and more, with a *new & improved* 21st century-style NKVD at her beck and call.

Liberal like to use the “study after study has proven” excuse when those studies are performed by people who have a preferred outcome and skew the data to make the preferred outcome look more probable. In the statistics world, this is call GIGO - Garbage in, garbage out.

Do not believe these people who use these studies. Illegal immigrants, as their first act, broke the law by entering this country illegally and then take jobs which US citizens can and should get to do but can not, because illegal immigrants are doing them! Not to mention, many companies are paying many of these illegal immigrants under the table and also breaking the law but not following the tax code!

Rex is another horrible liberal who is ruining this country for all of us.
