at the risk of making you sad: white people are still increasing in numbers.
Did you read the article?

The only group of white people that’s increasing are those over the age of 60.

Why should we give good paying jobs that require college degrees to immigrants?

We have our own college educated people who could use those jobs.

Give low paying jobs to unskilled immigrants. Our people don’t want those jobs.

White people who are doing well in their country have absolutely no reason whatsoever to come here.

Think about it.

30 million illegals comprises close to 10% of our population.
Many have not gone past Elementary or Middle School educations.

I have worked with many of them and see the first hand results of this.
Much rework needs to be done by higher skilled, paid, and educated workers to correct it.

That is a burden in itself.

If you're doing well where you are, you're educated and can make a living, you're not going to move to another country.

People from Ireland fled the Famine and the British generally ****ting on them for centuries. Now Ireland is a modern, industrialized economy.

People from Poland fled communism and the Russians/Germans ****ting on them for centuries. Now Poland is a modern, industrialized economy.

Hate to break it to you, kids, but your ancestors came here with nothing hoping to make a better life for themselves, so that generations later you can sit around and think you own this country.

Most Vietnamese are not here illegally and flooding our border. Are we seeing employment ads requiring one to speak their language to gain employment, advertising, signs and pandering to them in their language as we do Spanish speakers? Not even close. I have never gone out in public and heard Vietnamese being spoken all over the place either. They seem to assimilate into our society linguistically unlike Spanish speakers. There were only 1.3 million Vietnamese living in the U.S. in 2018 compared to 50 million Hispanics and untold illegal aliens.

Good paying jobs should only go to legal immigrants if we don't have enough Americans to fill them. I think there is a real need for doctors but most other white collared jobs we have enough Americans to do them.

Just what are these low paying jobs that Americans won't take? Less educated and those Americans looking for entry level jobs are more than willing to take them for a "fair" wage. Once good paying construction, landscaping jobs have been taken over by illegal aliens. Many of those low paying jobs are going to be automated in the future.

IMO, business should be more regulated so that we don't have a burger joint on every corner, etc. that would require us to import cheap, foreign labor to do them. These low skilled immigrants end up being a burden to our society fiscally. The environment and the health and welfare of Americans should be our first consideration.

You were alive when 90% of this country was white?
Yes I was but that’s irrelevant. I now live in a conservative community that’s around 90% white. And I wouldn’t be interested living in any liberal community. Even if it were 90+% white.

US has never been 90% white, close, but didn't make it.

1920s through 50s was the closest.

Ok. For you I’ll call it 89.8% white. Still close enough to call it 90 for most.
