is diversity our strength? the less we have in common, the stronger we are? is that true of family?!

nobody's even allowed to ask the question. instead, americans are told to shut up and be grateful!

"immigrants are doing jobs you wont do". that may be true. but what happens when those jobs disappear? CRIME!

these folks will also vote for radical populists who make Trump look restrained!

(A study said that 20 million low skilled American jobs will disappear in the next 25 years, replaced by automation.)

Its more like 80 million. No more truck drivers, pizza delivery guys, pilots, ship captains, etc…. Only it’s not immigrant’s jobs that will disappear, it is the moderately trained whose jobs are in the crosshairs.

The whole point of the "Melting Pot" concept was that immigrants (legal) would assimilate as Americans and add the best of their cultures and skills to our own as they became citizens. Sorta benevolently Borg-like, eh?

Now, there is little assimilation occurring. The nation is Balkanized and we are swarmed with illegal aliens who have no interest or intention of becoming Americans, but come merely to suck the American teat and collect the freebies.

From a Melting Pot to a pressure cooker in less than fifty years. We need to make an end of it. Now.
