Since the mass majority of "immigrants" means Hispanics of varying varieties, there will surely be a fine diet of tortillas, beans, cheese, corn, sour cream, and pork involved. The majority of the females in that demographic start out quite fine, and expand rather quickly due to certain edible factors....

Doesn't bother me much. I enjoy a little meat on my women unlike skinny white GAP type models. Maybe diversity is not that bad!

Indeed. Who else is going to flip burgers at current wages? American citizens sure as hell aren’t.

Love how the Sierra Club has spent decades claiming overpopulation is a threat to our environment and wild spaces, yet now calling for more illegal immigration.

Why does any American need to import a foreigner into the US?
I might start a poll on that.

a) I own a sweatshop/restaurant/construction/agricultural business and want to hire cheap
b) I have jobs that I cannot find a qualified American to do no matter how much I offer to pay
c) I hate America and White people

Sierra Club are a bunch of whores. Next time there is a "drought" in CA or the forest is on fire thank the Sierra Club.

you can buy a machine to cook fast food. You don't need to import foreigners to do it. Haven't you ever even been to a McDonalds? Look at who is working there...most are Americans, they're just young.

Lots of teens cook burgers for $12/hour. Go to In n Out...they use E-Verify, like a decent law-abiding company should, and they have no shortage of labor. Plenty of Americans willing to work there.

You owe your allegiance to Americans, not foreigners, and Americans do not want your foreigners to come here.

If that's a joke, I don't get it.

And if you're serious, I really don't get it.

But how many of those heifers are non-hispanic whites?


One possibility is that women are getting fatter partly because they are less American than Americans were previously.

Needs to be looked at.

Japan isn't having any problems, and our lower birth rates aren't the reason for immigration. They're the result of immigration, which reduces the wealth and wages of natives.

And you have to really hate the natives to import people to replace them instead of just incentivizing the natives to have more children.
