Having it great isn't good enough, Utopia preferred of course...
"The same English Christians who were very pro-immigration when we were nearly empty seem to be Pat Buchanan-ing on us now that we are nearly full."
Yeah, yeah I know -- Pat Buchanan is a neo-Nazi as are all who "think" like him...Anyway your position apparently is to open the borders and invite every culturally and morally backwards, Third World immigrant who unilaterally decides settling in America is his God-given right?
Naaah -- don't think so.
Whether things are presently good for American Jews or not is not the point. I am pointing out that intolerance for (IMO) oddball religions such as Wicca or Paganism or even Islam means the door is open for intolerance for more and more religions, and history shows us that Judaism is eventually always in the crosshairs. That is my point, not the manufactured point that "Judaism is presently not tolerated."

No. You are putting words in my mouth and I believe that is unsanitary.
Again, you are missing my point. You said that it was Christianity that made people tolerant of immigration. I refuted by saying it was a nearly empty country that made people tolerant of immigration, and if you look at modern-day Christians, such as yourself or Messr. Buchanan, you will see that many Christians no longer hold a pro-immigration view.
Thusly, I believe I have effectively refuted the assertion that religious persuasion played a role in tolerance of immigration.
