"The same thing was said when machines replaced factory workers and that was in a period when we had far more industry than we do now. Everybody said what will all these people do now? Somehow they found something to do without burdening the rest of society."

That was a different pool of immigrants. Look at the European countries and then look at the Latin American countries. We're not talking about equal achievement levels here.

"That’s you. But the average shopper buys the cheaper product. One reason for the phenomenal success of Wal-Mart."

The average shopper, even one who shops at Wally-World, is also opposed to massive immigration from our southern borders. They know for the couple of bucks they may be saving on a product they are paying increased taxes to make up for it by having to build new schools (staffed by bilingual teachers) and hiring Spanish translators for courts, and paying increased medical costs, automobile insurance costs, etc., etc., ad nauseum. It's just that the Wally-World shopper's opinion doesn't seem to count for much because our elitist leaders refuse to act on this issue.

Our culture is being changed, and not for the better.

Europe was just as much a mess back then as the Latin American countries are now. Don't forget that the Europeans started the two worse wars in human history. Nazism, communism, fascism, all these "achievements" came out of Europe. 21st century Latin America looks good by comparison.
