If you'll notice hardly any European citizens are coming. Every sector of the world's populace other than Europe is. Quotas only seem to apply with Europeans. Every excuse known to man is used to excuse illegal Mexicans coming here.

I think you will agree that the dynamics at work here are the political and economic conditions of the countries from where immigrants come from. Europe is relatively prosperous compared to the rest of the world. Thus, there is no pressing reason for a German to root up his family and start all over in America. Undeveloped nations, on the other hand, that have terrible poverty are more likely to have their citizens come to the US seeking a better life. Most of these nations, are filled with non-caucasians.

Do you or do you not accept that the Democrats pander to people based on race? Do you or do you not believe that those that vote for Democrats because they seem to support their freebies, help to further the leftist agenda? And do you or do you not accept that the Republican party is being forced to compete for those voters, thus creating an atmosphere where they also pander to them? Do you feel that this creates an atmosphere that is positive or negative for our political, educational environment, or even our culture?

Yes. Yes. Unfortunately, yes. And negative.

Still, can you think of any other race on the planet that is being demanded to relinquish their majority status other than the United States and European nations?

No.

We do have a problem. We need to limit immigration to people who are not known troublemakers in their own country, who can show a means of support in this country and other common sense ideas. Sensible limits should also be placed on the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country. [Illegals should be booted immediately.]

But I don't see how skin color could or should be used as a factor for determining policy.

Your comments on the impact of economic conditions is valid.  And the comments on race are too.  Let me premise my comments by stating that my observations of recent trends with immigration (both legal and illegal), and the lack of assimilation and the pressures on our Constitution and governmental entities, leads me to seriously ponder our future as a nation.

I am not convinced that if things continue as they have in recent times, our system of government will prevail.  We are handing off trade decisions to institutions outside our control.  We are poised to hand off certain judicial decisions to the ICC.  We are adopting NGO's directives at the behest of the United Nations.  We are seriously considering dropping our borders and establishing a common currency that will see the end of our own sovereign and protected money.  These are not the actions of a government that wishes to adhere to our Constitution.  In fact, our government is clearly heading into unconstitutional territory.  When decisions are handed off to entities outside our nation who are in no way accountable to our voters, we have a problem.

It is my opinion that factors we have already discussed are contributing to a population which is made up more and more by people who do not understand the issues I am raising here.  They are more than willing to accept the Democrats "gifts" rather than protect the greatest gift our citizens have been given, self-determination.

When I raise the issue of race, I would agree that it is very close to going over the line, if not in fact doing so.  Frankly I may address the issue somewhat clumsily.  My intent is to ask that a significant portion of the people who immigrate to the US come from a like society and economic system.  I want them to value what we have here.  And interestingly enough, that generally means northern European nations.  The exception to this would be that small enough numbers of other nation's citizens be allowed to immigrate so that they would be, if not forced to assimilate, have to assimilate to exist.

We have made it so easy for people to come here, that they are flooding in to the point that they are changing us, not becoming a part of us.  As that trend continues there is a growing pressure to alter who and what we are as a nation, even to the extent of abandoning our forefather's ideals, documents and admonitions.
