Fascinating data from the Pew Institute.

So basically Donald Trump is full of crap as usual. Mexican immigration( undocumented and otherwise) has stabilized and is actually reversing.
Quote:
Not only did fewer Mexicans come to this country, many Mexicans went home. Between 2009 and 2014, slightly more than one million Mexicans and their US-born children left the US for Mexico.

That number exceeded the number of Mexican immigrants who arrived in America in the same period, according to the Pew report. The population of Mexican-born people in the US also began to decline. Many of the Mexican immigrants who remained weren't new arrivals, but long-term residents with children.
More Mexicans are crossing the border

Asians are actually projected to surpass Hispanics as the Largest Immigrant Group in the next 2 decades.

I wonder what the Asian scapegoating will be like? Theyre too smart? Too affluent? Too industrious?haha

Nobody cares about ANY of this except the ONE word "undocumented".

We don't care if there are more Asians or Hispanics or Africans or Australians.
AS LONG AS THEY COME INTO THE COUNTRY LEGALLY.

Scapegoating is the invention of those who refuse to acknowledge that there is any difference and would prefer instead to make a boogie man out of anyone who supports a secure border and enforcement of our laws.

Another post by a globalist that has absolutely no allegiance to any one country and couldn't care less what happens as long as they profit in some way.

Trump isn't anti-Mexican. He's anti-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

Until the majority of Mexicans here illegally leave then we can talk about the so-called fewer that are coming here.


There is no scapegoating in wanting our immigration laws respected and enforced and I don't give two hoots who these illegals are now or in the future they just need to go back home and stop coming here.

The people that try to turn everything into an attack on Trump honestly do need help. I feel somewhat sorry for them.

If "asian" is meant in the British sense, meaning it refers more to middle easterners than far east orientals, then this would be worse for America, not better. Either way Trump wants to stop as much of it as he can, from whatever region or country.

Liberal colleges already give Asians the short end of the stick.

Some Asians say they are more likely to get in if they refuse to identify their race on an application.

In No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal: Race and Class in Elite College Admission and Campus Life, published in 2009, Princeton professor Thomas Espenshade and coauthor Alexandra Radford demonstrate that, controlling for other variables, Asian students applying to highly selective private colleges face odds against their admission three times as high as whites, six times as high as Hispanics, and sixteen times as high as blacks. To put it another way: Asians need SAT scores 140 points higher than whites, 270 points higher than Hispanics, and an incredible 450 points higher than blacks (out of 1,600 points) to get into these schools. An Asian applicant with an SAT score of 1,500, that is, has the same chance of being accepted as a white student with a 1,360, a Latino with a 1,230, or an African-American with a 1,050. Among candidates in the highest (1,400–1,600) SAT range, 77 percent of blacks, 48 percent of Hispanics, 40 percent of whites, and only 30 percent of Asians are admitted.
Liberal colleges support blatant racism.
