It is the first time that it has been virtually unchecked with regard to health and economic risks though. It used to be that you had to have something to offer and be free of disease and parasites at the very least to be allowed to immigrate here. You also couldn't be a criminal. It was a matter of protecting the public and economic health of our country, as well as preserving the security of the nation. Now, we're too d*mned concerned about "offending" someone to even enforce our own laws. Now, not only can practically anyone with the means (legal or illegal) get in, but we feel it necessary to reward them by giving them a free ride at OUR expense, as well as caving to the pressures of the radical fringe leftist groups who are hellbent on conferring to illegals all the rights and privileges of citizenship while at the same time making a mockery of the country to which they address their demands.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to preserve our culture and protect it from being diluted to the lowest common denominator. It isn't about race. We've always been racially mixed. It is more about common values of the dominant culture....shared by all the races that are part of it. It is also about common language. Immigrants were once expected to learn the language; in fact, were required to do so to attain citizenship. Now we're supposed to print our ballots in every language on the d*mn*d planet to accommodate people that don't even have the legal right to vote. What is wrong with this picture?
