The OP is a NON white kiwi/Aussie.
Yes I agree on the quality of immigrants, if you want to immigrate from the USA/Britain to Aus the first question asked is do you have skills we need and want, if the answer is no you will not get in even if you are blonde and blue eyed.
Canada,Aus and NZ are rather hot on having immigrants who are well educated and can speak English well.
I'm not saying that great quality non-white immigrants don't exist. I had a problem with my ankle for 10 years. Went to many white doctors but it took an African immigrant woman doctor to cure me. And without surgery, she is just brilliant and I love her accent.
But how many immigrants of her quality are there in this mass of humanity that either boats in here or jumps the border every year? Not many.
Uh; I'll lay some real money down IF a Carib island like Jamaica became real "white" the Black people WOULD be upset PDQ, especially if the white people there were illegal aliens.
Who knows...but my heritage comes from a nation that is already very mixed. Most Caribbean islands are already at least culturally mixed anyway. They would likely end up mixing far quicker than White Americans and with less issues.
(Jamaica is actually different from most Caribbean islands and has been more isolated. Most others have had significant movement among each other. So not sure how many you would find "like Jamaica.")
I don't think the USA will become Spanish speaking. It could, but English and French are the languages of business. If we did become like Brazil the wealthy and connected would still speak English.
Brazil will still have better beaches and women.
French is not a language of business. Spanish is spoken by three times as many people.
English and Chinese are the languages of business.
For the most part, I'm not attracted to Caucasian women. I prefer Latino, Asian and Black women. No agenda here! If this upsets you, too bad!
Lets just be honest, can we? You fear the day when whites are a minority, right? I know I'll always be a minority in America, the country I was born in.
BTW, there are quite a few Latinos who came to America legally, not every one of them is without papers.
This. Guess it's scary for many of them. For those of us who are minorities, it's no big deal. He is whining about loss of culture when so many minorities, especially those who are recent, both retain and meld their culture. They can learn to do the same.

Outside China you really won't be speaking Chinese. More companies and international organizations require French or English language skills than Chinese or Spanish. If the number of native speakers was the only factor then Hindi and Spanish would be more important to know than English.
We do not have a land border with hundreds of millions of Hispanics.
The difference is to get into Aus as an immigrant one needs skills we need and want, hardly applies to the vast majority of Hispanics crossing the border into the USA does it ?
Sorry there's no freaking way an Australian gets away with lecturing America on immigration policy.
The only reason half of Australia isn't speaking Chinese is because you guys run freaking illegal immigrant concentration camps. Liberals would be sh*tting diamonds of rage if a Republican President set up similar mass "detention centres" for Mexican illegals. We're talking "OMG X IS LITERALLY HITLER" etc.
And lastly, despite America and Australia having similar landmass Australia takes in 1/10th the number of legal immigrants America accepts each year. And then we can get into the illegal numbers...

The problem for "white people" is that the formerly mainstream "white majority America" was their culture, so when that's gone there's not much else holding them together. Minorities have always had their cultures because they had to stick together and hold onto that stuff, while whites(many who were born when the country that was 90% white) grew up in a greatly different social environment that put much less emphasis on "sticking together" for ethnic solidarity and more on melting into the great generic economic rat-race melting pot.
The end result is that today (outside obvious redneck areas)whites see each other as rivals and compete with each other while other groups see each other as "brothers and sisters" and stick together within their cultures.
So why didn't say America's earlier "white" immigrant minorities like the Irish do a better job holding onto their own language and culture? Why didn't you see bilingual Gaelic signage in NYC? Unfortunately America was much nastier back then about forcing people into the melting pot...

Sorry dear boy you need to check your so called facts, on a per capita basis we take far more legal immigrants and Refugees that the USA.
Racist ? nope, we throw whites into the camps as well , boils down to our country so we make the rules.
Strange we have a Liberal/Labor government at this point of time who are happy to chuck illegal immigrants into camps.
Similar landmass , been to the Gobi desert have you ?
Oh, ALL we Aussies are liberals by USA standards, but we are not soft.
