Rather than facing the trade off of flooding the country and displacing Americans, why not prioritize the cultivation of talented and innovative people from within?

This, sadly, is true. I've seen it happen in my own community Both the above mentioned groups think nothing about overcrowding houses, apartments and condos. When that happens, quality of life for those who don't live that way, quickly erodes.

In their minds, Sandra Bland would be alive today had she been white, and Bill Clinton's crime bills in the '90s were a reinstitution of what amounted to slavery. And now someone had to make Clinton admit that white terrorism against black people in this country is a far greater threat than Islamic terrorism, as if white on black crime is far greater than black on black or black on white crime.
Good definition of the pathological madness that the democratic party has devolved into.

It's not just Japan that has a selective immigration policy but most every country outside of the dumping ground in America and Europe.

That's the $50,000 question. We have so much native creativity and talent going to waste. Immigration is really about changing the people and not for the better, flooding the labor market and excessive population growth.

Maybe you're right: Japan and Hitler DID "play well together" 71 years ago.

Seems you are confused with Americans not wanting low income to poor immigration by the train and boat loads. Having children and raising the next generation of welfare.


We happen to have our own low income to poor workers why do we need 10,000-30,000 more?


Do you think our public schools can handle all the non-speaking English people coming?
