Wrong! Illegal immigration was at its highest in the 1990's thru the early 2,000's. Your facts and history are off. "People" have recruited illegal aliens? Not most Americans and it's against the law

Mexicans and south Americans are not a whole lot different that we are. Can you imagine if we were bringing millions of middle easterners and muslim africans in for labor like what Europe is having to do?
Europe doesnt have to do that. They are migrants, not travelling to Europe on work visas.

"Immigrants" coming from countries who have no respect for the rule of law are not compatible with us. We don't share the same culture or language as those south of our border either.

Some of it will be through interracial marriages and relationships which is a form of legal immigration unless they were born in the US of course. With the trend of white women opting to stay single or not get married and have kids men will increasingly pursue women of different races. It's well known the full whitey birth rate is down this has been documented for years. The US will look totally different even 25 years from now. It doesn't bother me except for all of the illegals coming from latin america.

I mean birth rates are down for everyone. Native Americans are going "extinct", Whites, Blacks and Asians are all under 2.1 as of current date, and Hispanics are around 2.2-2.4. People just aren't having kids anymore and that goes for all races.

And, apparently, a redder America. I guess then they'll try bringing in white European socialists to combat that.

With SS and Medicare you do not need kids.

I think mexicans responds "well" to the american way of life, in certain way they cooperate to make their country great.

having a 10% or less of mestizos in America is sane for USA

Proper liberal immigration could actually address the shortfall in SS.
