Look, countries with the least diversity have the least crime, and countries with the most have the most crime.

Nigeria, Honduras, Brazil, Mexico, Uganda, etc. are all ethnically diverse countries with a great amount of infighting. American policy has usually been about maintaining a certain demographic makeup (before 1965).

After 1965 we saw a jump in crime, and then it lowered after 1994 (crime bill). But the prison population skyrocketed so all that did was move crime from the streets to the prison yard. It was just a cap on a problem that continues to grow.

Diversity is not good for the migrants or the citizens of this country. It will not end well, I am sorry.
I like how you used all those words just to say "i don't want brown people being let in the country".

Huh? There is no natural right of freedom of movement from one country to another without a visa or permission from their government. We all have internationally recognized borders. Go ahead an exercise your so-called freedom of movement and try doing it without abiding by the immigration laws of any country and see where that gets you! You're ridiculous!

That being said I don't think immigrants are out to destroy our way of life or anything we don't have to villainize people, but criticizing immigration shouldn't be taboo or considered xenophobic imo.
Illegal aliens are destroying our way of life in many ways and they should be villanized. I have nothing against legal immigrants in reasonable numbers whom have skills we actually need, won't be a fiscal burden and assimilate into our society. The word xenophobic, etc. doesn't apply to any of the above.

The thread is not about legality of the immigration, so your point is off topic.

I think that is the left's plan.


Overwhelm the system with dependent immigrants.

You might want to re-read the title of this thread. It's about both legal and illegal immigration.

I'd say more like 15 or 16 years old. Can that poster possibly make more idiotic remarks?

Can we agree that a massive influx of immigrants, legal or otherwise, will destabilize the social fabric of America?

Can we imagine all humans (homo sapiens) still residing on the continent of Africa? That would be wild. As that would be zero migration since the dawn of man.

If people were not curious beings we'd still be trying to figure out how to make fire by rubbing two stones or sticks together --- and yet since the formation of government(s), it's like you're free to work on that, but just do it in your own neck of the woods. [then you must share your knowledge with us as we are global]

Science says humans are naturally social animals, but judging by the comments concerning human migration, science may need to rethink that analogy. Seems humans have turned more into more possessive creatures than social ones.

Go figure evolution ...

Okay now that's just crazy ... Illegals have nothing to do with present day government's overreach in powers. That's us, we did that.
PS: to sit idle and do nothing while our government disrespects the Constitution --- then blame the others, that's just wrong.
Government did the illegal thing and government did the invasion thing in description, so as to define other human beings that are the same as you, but you're not suppose to like. People have fallen for it, how funny for them.
