That's the problem, since you asked.
You are saying everything correctly. What's so hard to understand? When we were younger, we were told that if we did everything the right way that we could succeed. Nowadays, ppl are coming from other countries to work, but also are the very ones able to take advantage of scarce resources (welfare) that native born Americans don't qualify for. There is nothing wrong with wanting to preserve your culture from foreign invaders that could possibly change everything.

I wonder if anyone thought about this: If too many of these folks come and want us to go by their ways then the govt wont stop it and this will be muslim country with sharia law.

think about it!!
Im not saying they shouldnt come but they need to be here LEGALLY and learn the language and learn to accept other cultures, otherwise leave.

We're not talking about Black/White here. We're talking about a depressing landscape of third world cultures with nothing whatsoever in common that is fast ripping away at America's historical social structure and living standard.

Not even close. St Louis is far, far more segregated, and not just black/white. Also native american/white, other race/white, multiracial/white, all five multi-racial subgroups. San Diego has a higher dissimilarity index for Hispanic/White, and a near identical index for Asian/White.

Try as you will to make this about segregation, it is not.

Look at the population numbers shown in your second link. In St Louis, white and black make up over 95% of the population. In San Diego, white and black are 60%. In LA, white and black are 40%.

If you lived in San Diego, you should know what those numbers mean. If you had lived in LA or San Jose, you'd have an even better idea. You're right - it's not even close.
