We didn't exactly welcome the Chinese with open arms, back when we WERE accepting immigrants. Plus, until 1959, we increased our land mass every once in a while, by accepting a state for ...statehood. After 1960, we added NO land area, so with the same land area, and increased population, what do you suppose happened?
The population DENSITY increased, putting people in ever closer proximity to each other AND depleting our nation of more natural resources.
America needs a good plague.
I call BS on that: if we shut down the flow of illegals-------------we would either be at or below replacement population level.
For the record: all human beings can trace their DNA to Africa so, strictly speaking, we are all immigrants-----------just that some arrived sooner than others to the New World
An immigrant is one that comes to an already formed country. If they helped form that country they are not immigrants to that country. I am not an immigrant, I was born in America.

The United States is a nation FOUNDED by immigrants not a nation MADE OF IMMIGRANTS!
Founded by immigrants, built by immigrants, mostly comprised of descendants of recently arrived immigrants.
Immigrants never stopped coming, and it only takes a generation until they stop resembling immigrants. Even on this board, many, if not most here are 2nd, 3rd generation.

What on earth are you talking about? How can those who recently arrived have descendants outnumbering those living here for years? Would you care to provide a credible source to substantiate this outrageous claim?
Furthermore, speak for yourself. My family goes back prior to slavery.
