“Back then, in 1970, one in 100 Virginia residents were born in a foreign country. Now it’s one in 10, and they aren’t all Mexicans. They come from all over the world. Ukrainians, Chinese, Middle Easterners, Africans, Europeans etc. All getting their mouth firmly clamped on the US government nipple.”
We lived in a culdesac on the edge of Fairfax county for most of the 1960’s. In our 12 home section, everyone was American born and so were their spouses.
We moved, and I visited for a couple of days in 1971. 5 homes in our section had at least one foreign born person and or more. In 3 more years only 2 original American couples were still there and one divorcee. She still lives there and jokes about being the only American there.
Amazing. That tracks with what I’ve read.
