How could any clear thinking person think it would not?
you assume the open border, ethnocentric and the Liberal(Marxist/Socialist) who back the are of clear mind and sound thought process. which they are not.
How are unemployede americans being denied paying into SSA? McDonnalds is always hiring.
All your other fears have nothing to do with SSA benifits.
All the benefits listed, they are eligible for now...seems better if they are paying into the system.
Hey you want them in this nation? fine let them stay at your house, eat your food, get medical treatment on your dime, and if they break the law you are held accountable in part for their actions..if you want them here, lead by shining example
So what if you're Puerto Rican like me? I'm 100% born and bred American from the island and I speak Spanish on a regular basis. Am I less American than you? Or how about the people in Guam that speak Chamorro? Are they less American than you as well? Or how about the Virgin Islanders who speak English Creole?
Oldglory loves to tell a tissue of lies. He hates his "ethnic group" as he puts it and it's clearly established. We've been around long enough to know his game, he's not fooling us. He even expressed disgust towards me when I said I speak to my fellow Puerto Rican co-workers in Spanish, when all 5 of us are 100% American born and bred.
Heck, it's not just him. Read any of the illegal immigration regulars' posts and they all slip up every now and then and talk trash to Hispanics in general, not just illegals.
PR, USVI and Guam ain't US states. I'm gonna say 1 thing all 3 would have to do to become states is to make English number 1, NOT Spanish or anything else.
Those people came here LEGALLY, like my "shanty Irish" family from Ireland. ILLEGAL aliens are no good and carry their criminal ways anywhere they're allowed to squat.
I bet there were no quotas when your "shanty Irish" family came here.

See above.

No, where do you get that idea?
Should we eliminate all immigration laws for all people in the world? No. Why do you think I would be in favor of that? Or is unlimited immigration only for just certain groups? Ditto.
Why does Mexico itself still have immigration laws and no one complains that they limit how many can come to live there?
Don't know, don't care what other countries are doing.
There are over 2 billion very impoverished people in the world --- all of them would love the good life in the USA with all the millions of jobs easily available jobs and if no jobs, lavish food stamps, free health care and other taxpayer provided benefits.
It would seem kind of racist to insist that unlimited immigration, absolutely no immigration laws for particular ethnicities, but others should abide by our laws or we could limit immigration for everyone BUT the special group.
Are you calling me racist? That is a violation of the TOS.
You didn't read that article referencing 1910 closely. They were talking about native Wisconsin born Americans whose parents in some cases were also born in the US. It's not an article about immigration at all.
I was responding to someone who referenced 1910. The people I was referring to were not immigrants, either. Read the entire convo before playing "gotcha".
The point you failed to assess on your tour of America...Is that those folk are already here. You may delay their assimilation fully into the American society, but the following generation will.
What you fear has already happened.
We don't want to wait for the following generation to assimilate, why? because they wont.
they flood has been going on since what? 1965? by you logic shouldn't they have assimilated by now?
If they become US Citizens and pay into the system and earn thier 40 credits...what is the problem?
why wont pay into the system as a whole, they will earn soooooooooooo little they amount they get in a welfare check, food stamp, and the slew of democratic goodies for everyone one dollar they put in they will take a minimum 3 dollars out. that is not a net gain of 4 but a net lose of 2.
PR, USVI and Guam ain't US states. I'm gonna say 1 thing all 3 would have to do to become states is to make English number 1, NOT Spanish or anything else.
English is the official language in PR, Guam, and USVI. USVI speaks English already, are they just too black for you to understand? People in USVI speak similarly to people from Jamaica
Who's pulling a race card?
I already showed how many Swedes emigrated to the US. Here are some numbers for other countries:
Germany: The largest flow of German immigration to America occurred between 1820 and World War I, during which time nearly six million Germans immigrated to the United States. From 1840 to 1880, they were the largest group of immigrants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American
1890 - An estimated 2.8 million German-born immigrants lived in the United States. A majority of the German-born living in the United States were located in the "German triangle," whose three points were Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and St. Louis. 1894 - About 800 German-language journals were being printed in the United States, the greatest number ever. A typical newspaper was the New York Staats Zeitung. Chronology : The Germans in America (European Reading Room, Library of Congress)
Italian: Destination America . When did they come? | PBS By 1870, there were about 25,000 Italian immigrants in America, many of them Northern Italian refugees from the wars that accompanied the Risorgimento—the struggle for Italian unification and independence from foreign rule. Between around 1880 and 1924, more than four million Italians immigrated to the United States, half of them between 1900 and 1910 alone—the majority fleeing grinding rural poverty in Southern Italy and Sicily.
I will point out that many people thought the Italians weren't "white".
Polish: Three Waves of Massive Polish Immigration - polish culture Polish American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Polish immigration began in 1608, when the first Polish settlers arrived at the Virginia Colony as skilled craftsmen. Two early immigrants, Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko, led armies in the Revolutionary War and are remembered as national heroes. Overall, more than one million Poles have immigrated to the United States, primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Exact immigration numbers are unknown. Many immigrants were classified as "Russian", "German", and "Austrian" by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service because the Polish state did not exist from 1795 to 1918, and its borders had been dismantled through World War I and World War II
There were lots of ethnic mutual benefit societies such as The Sons of Italy (Italian), the Polish Falcons (Polish), and many more. There were many little old ladies in my hometown, people my grandparents ages (b. in the last years of the 19th century) who never learned to speak English b/c they didn't have to, just like DH's grandmother in Nebraska.
Gimmee a break with this "that was different" stuff.
So according to your post below you weren't crying discrimination against Mexicans today?
"Yeah, there were no quotas for most Europeans at all prior to 1920. The main difference between Mexican immigration and European immigration is that Mexicans come from Mexico and Europeans come from Europe".
