I say it's a neutral thing, neither good or bad.

The culture issues of the ME are a little more complicated than people of other cultures living together, you also have to consider the sectarian issues involved.

Rome wasn't overthrown because it was multicultural, it collapsed because it overextended itself, it was rife with corruption, and its enemies were able to match and then defeat Rome's military power.

Actually, you have to make the case that minorities are incapable of successfully living in a first world nation. There's no known inherent genetic trait that supports such a contention, stating otherwise is pure pseudo-science.

Let the games begin.
The contention that race is a social construct doesn't mean racism doesn't exist.

Don't know why whites should submit, but you WILL submit. Believe that.

Either that or leave, and you've got nowhere to go.

Iirc, your op discusses culture, not legality.

No remarks were made against immigrants in 1772? What a magical year!

Wish people would stop talking about "whites" or whoever. There may be a certain small element of whites who view it as a racial thing but the fact is unchecked illegal immigration hurts all legal Americans of all colors and creed.

Whether it is a black, white, hispanic or other American who has played by the rules illegal immigration in such as mass form drives down wages, limits jobs, demands they pay more in taxes to support welfare on top, and places question on whether the founding principles will continue. In the meantime your politician of your chosen party blows smoke up your azz and takes their real marching orders from those who bribe and have the power to give them more power in the future while you......slowly decay.

When is someone going to stand in front of Obama or Bush or whatnot and say, " I use to be a construction worker who made $20.00 a hour but YOU politicians allowed mass influxes of illegals who took my job for $5 a hour and YOU on top expect for me to give up part of my $5 a hour to pay for welfare for them also. Mr Obama or Bush you might get a nice little promise from business who profit from it to keep it flowing that way and maybe you might think all those illegals given amnesty will insure to vote for you but what about the rest of us who are getting poorer?"

But no politician ever addresses that do they? Nor does any mainstream media ever run a article on that do they?

Whites are becoming a minority in Europe too. It's that whole birth rate thing I spoke about earlier. It was inevitable really. The more education a person has, the fewer kids they have, but the wealthier they tend to be. Practically the only places with increasing birth rates are in Africa, S. America, and India.

Do you speak Spanish? They will probably elect you to political office.

Says the guy who believes he deserves everything to be handed to him by his daddy for merely being born. If you're the example other minorities should follow, then suffice to say we have nothing to look forward to in a minority majority America.

Off topic. The op addresses culture, not legality.

My guys started at twelve an hour. A machine operator made as much as twenty.
