Nope, there was a thread on this board about Immigration to the US being down and the overall theme from the libs was that no one wants to come here as long as Trump is president and how more people want to immigrate to Canada because it is so welcoming and better.

In conclusion, despite what liberals would have you believe, we don't suck!

Can't convince me in 2018. When the orange leader is in power the American Dream is dying a slow death.

I can tell you that if people knew what the USA was actually like before they traveled there they would avoid the country like a hot bed of coals. When the migrant does not know the current situation of protectionism, anti-immigrant policies, rampant gun use and heated racist problems there today they foolishly select USA. There is evidence by the phenomena of American refugees running to Canada. And look at how the Hondurans are treated. They were misguided to think they would be welcome. Why weren't those people given a heads up long before they arrived at the US border?

The weather is brutal hot in the summer, but everyone has air conditioning, and it is mild in the 70s during the winter. The notion that everyone is a terrorist there and you are forced to convert to Islam is completely false.

All true unless you are gay, transgender or a woman. Although, I think this year or next women will be able to drive on their own.

Sorry, the Orange Bad Man has or had nothing to do with this. The Dream started it's slow death roll in the 70's.


Do you even know any immigrants ? I know several families from different countries and they absolutely love it here , and am floored how stupid a certain side is. Many have told me that they left **** hole countries and we have Americans born here that want to turn this one into the same type of **** hole they came from.

My parents are LEGAL immigrants. My wife is also a LEGAL immigrant who arrived to US 10 months ago. They love it here.

Also, what "phenomena of American refugees running to Canada"? Can you be more specific?

He said Australia. Europeans prefer to move to Australia as opposed to US. Can't blame them, since Australia is like a giant Florida, and Florida is the best US has to offer.
