    We have 1,000,000 "LEGAL" immigrants accepted into the US yearly! No other country on the planet accepts that many immigrants if at all! Most of those legal immigrants, assimilate and adopt the customs of the US, learn to speak English and appreciate this huge opportunity they have been given! Most will succeed because they are not looking for a handout! Contrast that with those "ILLEGAL" border crossing migrants who want "FREE" healthcare, "FREE" monies, "FREE" education, "FREE" housing, etc. and all they want is the "FREEBIES". They do not come to contribute to US society and make themselves US citizens, they want only what they can take, take and still take for "FREE". They also, have no loyalties to the US, wave their foreign flags disrespecting the US, burn the US flag, show no respect to police, ICE or Border Patrol and anyone else, trying to enforce US immigration laws!

    Eh... you, like most people, may not be very familiar with the details of this country's history; but it wasn't a great idea, and it did create enormous social and political problems, some of which were being grappled with a century later. The Italians in particular brought corruption and violent organized crime. Illinois, dominated by heavily south- and east-European Chicago, remains the most corrupt state (respectively city) in the country.

    About the only thing that can be said for the first wave of mass immigration is that it let a few tycoons get very rich, while boosting aggregate (though not per-capita) GDP growth and production well above where it would have been otherwise. Which are exactly the same arguments recycled by economists today.

    And, at the end, people did vote to stop it. The 1924 immigration act slammed the door to pretty much everyone who wasn't north-west European, and that's how things stayed for forty years.

    Not a whole lot of difference between the two parties regarding immigration. Your statement applies to both parties.

    Most of the politicians in Congress, be it Democrats or RINOs are liberal and support the Globalist Agenda. There are a small group of Socialists, Communists and Islamists who want to turn the US into a Communist state. And there is another small group of Conservatives who actually, want to serve the American people but, they are in a very small minority. Most in Congress are there to enrich themselves including, the so called Socialists Bernie Sanders who now has 3 houses and drives a $200,000 sports car.

  5. The clear goal of the media and dems ( and most republicans) is to delegitimize any and all criticism of immigration or border control as "white nationalism" or "white supremacy."

    They have been remarkably successful, as a long line of cuck republicans have taken the bait and issued the usual virtue signaling condemnations of people who happen to make up the majority of their base.

    What they call "white nationalism" is the perfectly reasonable desire to control illegal immigration, not turn our country into more of a third world shithole than it already is and have control over our borders. You know, like a real country does.

    You might want to tell the Trump supporters about how important the western alliance is because it is fractured under Trump.

    You don’t even feel illegal immigration. Way more legal immigrants come into and live in this country.

    Well, if the Republican Party weren’t so crazy right now democrats would traditionally be the party that curbs immigration because of union pressure.

    I will admit though that the modern democrat party is under a lot of internal pressure from radical pro immigration sects in it. In a lot of ways this election is as much about what the democrat party is as it is about what this country has become.

    With all due respect what is "America's culture" at this point, honestly? Star Wars? McDonald's? Tinder? That's global culture at this point.
