Ever look at pictures of people from the 1950s and early 1960s? Notice that just about everyone was white. There had been very little immigration since the 1920s and the percentage of foreign born individuals was very low. Pretty much everyone spoke English (with exceptions of course), and the term ESL and all the talk about America's strength was in it's diversity was years away.
This all changed starting in the late 1960s with the passage of new immigration laws that allowed for huge increases of immigrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia. Then in the 1990s the number of immigrants let in each year just exploded. Now whites are a minority in many US States.
What would have happened if the Immigration Laws had not changed and we continued to let immigrants come into America at the low levels of the 1925-1965?
"I don't see much future for the Americans. It's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities. My feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?"
My only problem with many people south of the US border is their refusal to assimilate to our culture. I know a lot of Mexican-Americans who "act white" (I hate that term) and even though they themselves or their parents aren't originally born here, they embrace American values.
