Thanks. I saw this earlier, but it seemed like more than I felt like chewing at the time. I'll come back tomorrow evening.
Teaser (lol).
I strongly disagree with this analysis. The true but hidden immigration policy for the last 39 years heavily favors non-white near-illiterates from Third-World countries (primarily Mexico and it's nearest neighbors) over any other kind of people. Young Ted Kennedy helped corrupt our formerly wise policies back in 1965 when he pushed the disposal of fair quotas and immigrants' potential worth to our country. I find it ironic that his career trying to legislate Emma Lazarus's poem ("Give us your tired...") has yielded a financial bonanza for capitalist heavyweights he supposedly despises at the expense of real taxpaying Americans.
If not for his family's history of tragedy and their notorious influence I'd dare suggest proper justice be rendered (Mary Jo was only the first victim of a man who should have been stopped right there).
I see quite a few similaries between today's importation of cheap, compliant labor and 18th century slavery.
The Civil Rights groups and the clergy have much influence over the policies and legislation dealing with immigration.
What a concept!
Bump to read it all later.
??? I thought there weren't any immigration laws prior to the 20s? You mean US immigration policy hasn't always been the free-for-all it is now, like the OBL is prone to claim?
Quite right. That Act changed our immigration policy from a national quota system based on numerical limitations to a policy of family reunification with many preference visa categories without numeric limitations. The policy basically changed from a policy that determined which aliens were best for the country to one that no longer cared. The symbol for immigration today should still be the statue of liberty, only now she should have a blindfold on her head. Basing our immigration policy on what is best for the alien rather than what is best for the nation has led us to where we are today.
If you look at the previously posted legally admitted immigration numbers from 1910 to 1924 they are completely dwarfed by our current illegal population numbers. Out current policy is a shamble.
When I first saw the 1910-1924 numbers I was suprised they were so low.
Puts our current situation into a little perspective doesn't it?
Thanks for the chart. Compare and contrast.
Thought you might be interested in these numbers.
Most interesting.
Thanks, it's very informative.
And remember that driving those numbers was the availability of land in the West (large numbers of Great Wave Italians went to northern California, for example), and the fact that one generation after the Civil War, the children who should have been born to the 500,000 men killed in that war were not around. Assuming that on average, 5 children did not exist from those men, it created a population deficit of 2.5 million people about 20 years after the war - about the time large numbers of immigrants started coming (although these two factors were not the sole motivation).
Had the war not happened, the natural growth of the original American stock would have most likely made the Great Wave unnecessary.
And many on this forum understand that abortion and the "overpopulation" hysteria of the 1970's has caused the same suicidal effect to take place once again: this time the population deficit is what, 35 - 40 million? It isn't surprising at all that 18-20 years after Roe v. Wade, a large number of economic opportunities await "immigrants". They are merely taking the jobs that would have gone to the American children who ended up being murdered by their parents prior to birth. Any nation that murders its children....disappears, and another nation takes its place.
Close the borders, end immigration, repeal Roe, and end the gruesome taxation of Americans that makes raising children almost prohibitive. Absent that...no more America.
Just as the leftists who encouraged all these things to happen always planned.
"As Lisa Sylvester reported last night, an astonishing new study that found as many as 20 million illegal aliens in this country. That report also found these millions are now an established part of an underground economy that is approaching $1 trillion. My guest tonight, a co-author of the study, Bob Justich, a senior managing director of Bear Stearns."
