Not true of course.

Immigration from Europe to the U.S. has averaged about 100,000 a year since 1950 and that trend is holding.

Except that most of that number includes immigrants from poverty stricken ex Soviet bloc countries like Moldova, the number for immigrants from EU countries is pretty abysmal.

Wrong again.

The most popular countries have not changed much since 1950; the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Russia and Poland.

Poverty stricken is a moniker leftists can only place on...you guessed it, white immigrants.

You were referring to Moldovans as poverty stricken. The broader point you seemed to be making is that we don't get European immigrants here any more. No need for the confused emoji

Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, I was not making it up. And we don't get large numbers of immigrants from the wealthier European Countries and we get almost none from Scandinavia. There are large numbers of immigration applications from Russia and ex soviet bloc countries most of which are very poor, why do you want to argue that?

Don't be daft. I don't need or want to "argue" that. I was simply pointing out that leftists only refer to poor white immigrants as poverty stricken. The poverty moniker can politely ONLY be pinned on white countries, because, you know, there are nations that are clearly ****holes and it's oh so offensive and such. Oh and don't make me remind you that "not all" Moldovans are poor..."not all" being customary when discussing non white countries.

That's factually incorrect. If you want to talk about immigrants from some African, South Asian or South American countries I have no problem using the term "poverty stricken" if it's appropriate. Why would you think otherwise and why do you want to argue about something so silly?
