Did America become NOT America, when Italians and Austrians and Poles and Hungarians and Russians and the Irish, et al made a mad dash to our shores , from the 1880s through the 1930s ? During that time, there were not only " Little " whatevers sprouting up all over the place, there were newspapers and radio programs and theatres, where only something other than English was spoken. Did THAT " ruin " this nation ?

No, the birth rate is NOT going to go up, in the forseeable future; even should abortion be outlawed. Far too many people are either NOT getting married / delaying marriage / can't afford to have huge families / don't want to have many children, for that to occur. Your " wishes " aren't substanciated, at all, by facts and probability.

Actually, you're very wrong on that aspect, and abortion plays a large role. Furthermore, if taxes were lower, you'd see even more births. If taxes were lower, you'd likely see more marriages, and trust me, who doesn't want several kids? Only a few don't, and most of the ones who don't blame it on money issues, of which taxes play a large role.

One more thing, you were talking about European immigration into a dominant European culture. Third World Latin American and Asian immigration into a first world European culture is not the same.

Good point. I will be the first to demand more Italian, Austrian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, and Irish immigration. (see my last post). This is not racial, by the way, merely cultural and geographic.
