U.S. is multiracial and is adding more Amerindian ingredients to its melting pot.
The U.S has not been a melting pot since 1965. The U.S of today is a salad bowl because we have a large segment of society that puts race/raza above country.

What happened in 1965 that suddenly changed the "melting pot" notion?

If they come here legally that is one thing----------------if illegal; said criminals irrespective of actual/race ethnicity need to be pitched out and have their assets seized.
When the immigration laws were changed to allow chain migration, etc.
Like most of the rest of us anti's; I also would like to see our laws revert back to pre 1965.
I knew that. It was rhetorical. Does anyone really believe this country was a melting pot before 1965? It has never been a melting pot.
My point was this: pre-1965 the immigration laws were racist, skewed against those who were not white Western Europeans. As far as I am concerned, 1965 was a watershed year, because it opened up America to LEGAL immigrants of all races.
That said, I am for LEGAL immigration of people from all over the world, not illegal. I am also against the H1B and similar programs.
