Here is an insightful article that Derb penned about immigration in the United States.
"Population of the British Isles, Britain and Ireland, in 1921: 47.3 million. Population of Mexico in 1921: 13.9 million. So there were only thirty percent as many Mexicans as Brits back then.
Population of the British Isles today: 68.6 million. Population of Mexico: 120.3 million. So today there are 75 percent more Mexicans than Brits. If you throw in the thirty or forty million people of Mexican origin in the U.S.A., it’s over twice as many. There are people alive today who have seen the ratio of Mexicans to Brits go from thirty percent to two hundred percent."
I once was a big supporter of immigration, but that was before I was aware of how crazy it has all gotten. I do not support American citizens financing everything from food stamps to housing to medical care for immigrants. My dad's side of the family are recent immigrants to the US from England, Germany, Sweden, and Norway (late 1800s). Back then, immigrants had to have a sponsor that would guarantee the newcomers wouldn't end up as a burden to society. They acculturated, learned to speak English, and worked their fingers to the bone to make a life in their new country. But they were Christians, and had that in common with the majority of their new Judeo/Christian countrymen. I think this is a huge factor to successful integration, but it's certainly not the only factor.
But we're lucky here, so far. In Germany and other parts of Europe, there is a free-for-all. Muslim immigrants have inundated Germany, demanding ever more handouts from working people. Why Merkel has capitulated to the angry hordes of Allah is beyond me. From here, it looks like national suicide. Nothing good will come of this when fed up Germans stand up to reclaim their land, their culture, and their hard-earned euros.
Here's more interesting reading at VD's place. Do you all think it will come down to a religious war, Christians vs Muslims? Or is it more likely to be Muslims vs. everyone who isn't? We can hope that sanity will prevail and those immigrants who can't acculturate will be shipped home to whatever sh*thole they came from, but I doubt it.
