No the issue is Alan Dershowitz has a problem with America still being majority white western. That's apparently an issue for most Jews and liberals.

Yes, it IS an issue for you. And, do know most Jews?

May I ask what your religious faith is, if any?

The issue is mass globalized immigration and anyone who supports it. I am not very religious but nominally protestant. Protestants I know are pro-Israel and pro-Jewish but some feel offended with the way it is returned. I don't need know everyone of a group. It's common knowledge that Jews are about 90% liberal and support mass globalized immigration.

What? How are Jews relevant in this?

LOL, you liberals would choke if today's immigrants encountered the same conditions immigrants encountered back in the 1800s and early 1900s.


Let's make a deal though: We'll keep letting the "wretched refuse" of the world (credit, statue of liberty for that description of European immigrants) if we do a few things:

1) Get rid of birthright citizenship that entitles children born here to automatic enrollment in government assistance programs;
2) Get rid of chain migration;
3) Get rid of welfare, foodstamps, the minimum wage and
4) Get rid of Universal education.




If you're for open borders, you cannot be for things like "environmental protection," "sustainable growth" or "economic justice and organized labor."

And if you think you can, you're naive.

Back in the day of truly mass legal immigration there was no looking back. After paying for steerage transportation these people and families were without money to go back and forth. A telephone call or telegram cost, in today's dollars, probably $70 or more for three minutes. And going back to the "mother country" was definitely inadvisable.

So people went to night school to learn English, get a job, and become Americans. The jobs they took were initially not high-level or glorious. But they were jobs and their children were used to two parents, a father or both going to work in the morning. There were few if any social welfare benefits and even those were privately provided, by groups such as the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

Thus, second-generation people and even, in many cases first-generation immigrants rose rapidly through the system. Think Joseph Pulitzer.

I would support a reciprocal policy...immigration from any country to the US must be exactly equal to immigration from the US to that country.

So if a Nigerian wants to come here, they have to wait until an American wants to go there.

That way immigration does not mess with the population. I'm not worried about it destroying our European culture, because the reality is Americans don't want to go to countries that are crappy. Americans really only tend to go to countries from which an immigrant to America really wouldn't pose much of a problem or threat.

Jews agitate for mass immigration into Western nations yet have harsh restrictions on immigration to Israel - which is based on ethnic/racial qualification (you gotta be a Jew - they will even DNA test prospective immigrants to verify they actually are Jewish).

It is this hypocrisy that reveals the racial aggression and hostility behind Zionism and which powers a lot of the "Political Jew" identity - which is basically anti-American, anti-Western, and anti-white.

No he didn't write a reasonable response. He wrote a response based on cherrypicking and presented an "argument from anecdote". The truth is Nigeria is a dysfunctional mess like basically all African nations, and it is most definitely a sh thole nation. The coincidence that he has met a few of their most talented and brilliant people is not proof dis-positive of this reality.

I've suggested something similar. I suggested the emigrating nation to the US offer legal status to an American. In lieu of an American wanting to accept legal status from the nation, the emigrating nation most offer immigration status globally to a willing taker before anyone can emigrate.

If America has to accept global immigration and become majority minority, then so does Africa, Latin America, Asia, Israel etc. I'm all about reciprocity and fair is fair. If it's good enough for America then it's good enough for every other country.

What I really want most of all is no new citizenship being given to immigrants and those not born to a US citizens. And any immigrant and long term visas reflect the national origins and demographics of America.
