I mean, heck, I'm Puerto Rican and I don't want a single Mexican or Central American amnestied. It's nor fair for those of us who have to go through the million hoops to get our spouse a green card. Although, I think the US made a big mistake in not taking the opportunities to be in political union with Mexico, Cuba, and the Philippines waaay back then. Philippines was a US territory from 1898-till the end of WWII
Who Cuba? Nah José Martí wanted total independence for Cuba, but they wanted PR to join with Cuba, hence why our two flags are the same except the colors are reversed. Cubans still want PR to be in political unin with the US but we're like, nah that's ok thanks for the offer.
As for the Philippines, they speak better English than PR which I was surprised about they should have stayed with us, but we treated them like ****, but a lot better than the Japanese who massacred and pillaged them before we took back the Philippines, Guam, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands from Japanese control
Guys, what do you think of non-British Europeans who move to the UK, and then complain of massive EU migration to Britain?
If I were British, I wouldn't care too much if they were hypocritical or not. I'd be happy with their position. It should be up to the British to decide what they do with their own country, including how many other Europeans they let in. The British can certainly have a legitimate objection to the sheer number of EU migrants and all the problems associated with them. By all accounts, Polish migration the UK is a bad deal for British people. They drive down wages and displace the British in their own land. The Poles have Poland; there is no need for so many of them in Britain. The same globalists that wreck Western countries with massive non-European immigration are also quite content with massive migrations of other Europeans to Britain.
You should note that 61% of Puerto Ricans in 2012, actually voted in favor of statehood. But, because there were a lot of invalidated ballots, Congress did not start the process of admitting PR as the 51st state. If there weren't a lot of ambiguities, the US flag would have 51 stars on it now, not 50. So, in essence, we WANT to be the 51st state.

I agree Snj. It gets on my goat when company's like Airbus try and entice us into voting no to leaving the EU. I think we should be given our own vote influenced by no one..
The whole purpose of the EU vote is to give us the opportunity to give our say, of course this will never happen, they will try their best to influence us.

The question on everyone's mind though.. Do the Americans want them??

You live thousands of miles away - your opinion is worth jack sh*t. These European migrants happen to contribute a great deal more in tax than the British people themselves - they are hugely beneficial to the nation.
