I’ve heard that refrain before—the 1840’s when the Irish Catholics escaping the Irish Potato Famine showed up, the 1880’s to 1924 when the southern and eastern Europeans showed up, the 1980’s with the Vietnamese boat refugees, and now with the Latinos.

Yup. In a sense, we have always been a “dumping ground” (see: tired, poor, huddled masses). Which makes sense given our history of immigration - people tend to emigrate en masse when they are poor and desperate, not wealthy and comfortable.
Obviously, economic conditions have changed, and there is a real question of whether our modern, information-driven economy can sustain waves of relatively uneducated “huddled masses.”
What an insulting comparison. There is no comparison.
The third worlders pouring over our Southern border are doing it ILLEGALLY. The are not wanting to assimilate. The vast majority cross knowing they will get freebies. They are for the most part anti-American and very anti-English. All this is different from the groups you listed.
This third world invasion will utterly destroy our culture and America as we have known it.
We are being turned into a decaying third world sewer.
You are disgusting with the implications in your post -- very incendiary on your part.
