(see the second report, among others. You'll notice that immigration from Europe is significantly lower than from Asia, Africa, and the ME. It's VERY low from Scandinavian countries).
Oh, links that have absolutely zero support of the argument.

I take it you have no clue?

Do you think Norwegians share a love of Trump? Do you think they'd be willing to give up their universal healthcare in which no one goes broke?

Do you think they'd defend the 2nd Amendment, even after 20 Connecticut families buried their first graders?

Would you call them "libta*d snowflakes" because they fervently believe in the public good -- you know, those pathetic "collectivist" values I've seen you conservatives on here denigrate? Or would you welcome and accommodate their values?
Oh, I see, this comes from a case of TDS. Reduced mental capacity is a symptom.

I guess you’re one of those people who believes all the world speaks English.

I’m nit going to copy and paste from pdf documents to an online translator all day to find this stats.

I know you hate facts, so it would probably upset you to learn any. Of course you don’t want someone from that country to actually show such demographic information. It would make you realize why social programs are less expensive in such countries.

There’s no point in importing inbred welfare recipients into this country. We already have enough.

And quite frankly we shouldn’t give a tinkers damn whether people from Norway want to come here or not.
Indeed. And they just voted for an orange-faced man-child for president because he said he'd protect them from brown people "taking over".

Well, if you would prefer to see brown people "take over," you could always move to the places where brown people are already in control. But they seem to be places where people move from, not move to.

I say we let each state decide its own immigration policies.

I think it would be a hoot watching states like CA become third world s**holes.

I'm not worried.

I'm secure enough in my identity to not feel threatened by those who are different. I live in a county where whites are not the majority.

My ancestors (and probably yours) immigrated to this country when their homelands in Europe were "****holes" in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Folks who were already here panicked and warned of a "takeover" that would lead to the ultimate collapse of American society too.

We weren’t footing massively expensive social service programs for those coming in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

In Norway, you'll pay $23 for a single meal of Big Mac, soda and fries.
