That's a lie. European immigrants held FIERCELY to their customs, languages and traditions. Denying it is just revisionism on your part.
Not only that, but as Pat Buchanan noted in his book, their nativism (for their mother nations) often put the United States and our foreign policy at odds with our own best interests. The Irish lobby was a great example of this.
BTW...did you even serve this country?
Statistics show that Hispanics are actually assimilating faster than most prior immigrant groups.
I have less problems if the refugees are Shia than if they are Sunni. Sunni Muslims are responsble for most of the terror attacks in the West. Allowing Sunni Muslims in right now is a risk we need not take. Not like we do not have 10s of millions of people wishing to immigrate here. Why take a chance of a bad apple in the bushel?
I've read three of Pat's books. I bet he opposes refugee immigration here.
In recent times, the greatest influx of refugees happened in the 80's. We have a long way to go to hit the numbers that were resettled back then.
I am opposed to accepting refugees from anywhere until such time the 30's year challenge of illegal immigration is brought to a conclusion. I think 12 million +/- is the equivelent of having given at the office.
30 years of kicking the immigration can has let to right now. It has not mattered who sat the oval or held the majority.
30 years and only a handful of states have made e-Verify the law for all emoloyers/ employees.
Hundreds of legacy sanctuary cities and in Florida, sanctuary counties.
Obviously, this is more than a federal issue or partisan.
A single digit percentage of America city data members that voted for terrorists should be teleported to the front lines.... Then their unsupportable position would change pronto....
I was on the fence on this issue, but after the recent attacks that continue to plague Europe, I strongly believe we should stop accepting Syrian refugees at this point.
Were we ever in line to actually accept hundreds of thousands or is this more right wing hyperbole?
Obama's mission the last 8 years is to help repopulate America's voting class with more immigrants and soon whites will become the minorities.
Every 4 years, minorities have gained population while the whites have stayed the same and some age groups actually dropped due to birth shortage.
If Hillary gambled right, she will have 20% votes of each states which represents minorities. She will only need 1/2 of white votes which will include 80% of white women votes to beat Trump.

I wonder if Trump's son will go fight the Muslims.

It is heavily favoring a NO answer right now because there have been so many attacks recently. It isn't always like this, there are pauses and breaks. So I think this is an interesting poll and it really shows how crazy things are getting, but at the same time I think lot of these NO answers are flexible. Meaning, if for the next 2 months, nothing happens or things are more peaceful at least, these NO answers will shift to YES.
This is a great forum because I see a good balance of left vs right, authoritarian vs anarchy, etc. It isn't like a site that I use to go to that was all conservative(I am conservative but it was preaching to the choir, we were not debating anything, it was all "yeah I totally agree with you, lets not debate at all).
I encourage the poster to make the same poll after a period of peace, and lets see the difference. Hopefully we will have a period of peace soon, things seem to be really heating up for some reason. It is like all the crazy people in the world got together on Skype and said, "ok lets all go bat poop crazy this summer".

No, we were not. The goal was 10,000 which obviously isn't close to a hundred thousand, much less hundreds of thousands.
