OK then, if that's what you believe we can get rid of the 2nd amendment, get rid of freedom of religion, divide up the country into 5 separate nations, turn the country into a communist nation, or maybe turn it into a theocracy. All because what has happened in the past has no bearing on what should happen in the future.
Since the Great Recession, most are coming from Asia, with India and China leading the way.

They are more likely to be college educated than at any point in history.

The E2 Visa was created in 1990 for investor immigrants who have at least $500.000 to invest. The Kushner Family was caught soliciting investors in China by dangling green cards. Nothing illegal about it, albeit not the best look foray advisor to the POTUS.

For nearly 30 years, US businesses have been using the E2 Visas to encourage foreign investments. Real estate is one sector that has historically relied on this strategy to raise capital.

A green card holder who has established permanent residency for at least 5 years, may apply for citizenship.
Only US citizens may vote.

If “ I did not vote” was a candidate, it would win the popular vote in a landslide.

This needs to be spread fast or we will never be able to win another election again in just a few short years.
Wow. I already loved the notion of people becoming newly minted American citizens. But armed with your information, I love the idea of more immigrants more than EVER!!

How so? If their culture were close to ours, their countries would be successful and so many of them wouldn't be breaking their necks to get to the U.S.

Guess what else immigrants bring?

Brainpower and establish companies. And not just mom and pop stores.

Immigrants or their children founded 45% of America's Fortune 500 companies, including Apple and Google. Yes, all as a result of immigration.

Here is the special report in the Economist:

Well, what do you expect when Socialism and Communism are still viewed as viable systems from many of the countries they are coming from. We will become more like Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and the rest of the Socialist countries they are coming from.

And none of them are Communist or Socialist either, the current direction of the Democrat party.

The truth! Not only that but we don't even share the same language as them and most of them are Catholics that believe in large families. They have a tribal mentality that trumps our immigration laws. Yet we are supposed to move if we don't like their lawlessness here?

And it reveals itself. You don't care about the best for all in America. You only care about making sure the GOP stays in charge.

Something else. Most minorities vote left. It doesn't surprise me that states like Georgia and Alabama (with large Black populations) try things like voter suppression.

The Democrats want AMNESTY and Open Borders which will create one Party Democrat rule. That's their goal. This is part of the "FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION" Obama talked about, and Hillary was supposed to complete. Thankfully, Hillary LOST, and we have a brief reprieve for eight years.


2025 and beyond will be the challenge.

One could have said the same thing about the hoards of immigrants who arrived in America in the late 1800's and early 1900's. If their cultures were so similar to the US, why did they leave Europe? And yet, I hope you don't dispute that their cultures were indeed similar to the US.

In many ways Latin Americans are indeed similar to many of those immigrants from that era. They are heavily Roman Catholic and poor. Sound just like the hoards of Italian, Polish and other immigrants who arrived in the US back then. They happen to have darker skin, whoop-tee-doo.
