Yet if the Lakers were 61% white and on a winning streak, would we be calling them a "black team"?

Nothing to be excited about. Do you think there will be a country left? I doubt it.

Multi-culturalism weakens a nation.


I am not referring to people's private daily lives but in the public arena, in our common interactions.

U.S. culture of course. Our identifying one and our identifying language. Both the employers and the illegals are equally guilty they are both breaking the law and they know it. I would like to see e-verify mandated across the board to stop both of them. Jobs aren't the only incentive that brings them here though benefits and birthright citizenship are the other incentives. Remove them all and they will stop coming.

African American's have a reason being that Jim Crow was just a few decades ago. What's the excuse for poor whites? And please wake up if you believe there aren't poor whites or that they are 'Hispanics'. I grew up in the deep south, where there are rows and rows of trailer home parks filled with poor white people all over the place.

There is no such thing as US culture because culture varies from region to region in the US. Not everyone goes around eating fast food, watching football, praying to Jesus that some random team is gonna win the game, owning several gas guzzling cars, living in suburbia. My culture is much different than yours, yet we are both in the US. American culture is made up of random different types of culture.

You can pretend that it is possible to get rid of all the illegals in the US, but that is a fictional dream if they have employers willing to pay them illegally. That is how you stop illegals from coming here because there would be no way to make any money to live here.

Amen. We have no idea how many there really are, where they live, where they work, eat, etc.


A perfectly functional gov't would find the task of removing millions impossible , even if they knew where they all were.

Then PLEASE tell us why Black people TODAY have a higher percentage of "their own" on food stamps than 50 years ago.

Let's see: E verify, allow the cops to arrest ANY known illegal alien AND keep their kind locked up till being deported. Word WILL get out real fast the US ain't playing anymore and, MOST illegals will leave with the few hard heads laying real low.

For me, of English/Polish descent, this is not really an issue. Before I retired, I worked with others who came here from many parts of the world. People are people; some I liked and some I didn't care for, just like people who were born here. My neighborhood is a mixture and I have lived here over 20 years without any problems. At the present time, whites not being a majority in the US is really not high on my list of things to keep me awake at night.
