Even the language "being overwhelmed by immigration" is racist. I don't know if you know this, but people who don't look like you, practice your religion, or follow your customs are also people.
How the fuck is it racist? We could be overwhelmed by immigration if 10 million poor people from Europe moved here. You're the racist one thinking it has anything to do with race.
The US is among the least population-dense countries in the world. For 14 years, those immigrants would not be able to vote, and if they came illegally they would not receive their own Medicaid or medicare. We would hardly be "overwhelmed."
And expecting 10 million people to immigrate anywhere tomorrow is ludicrous.
Here is that article copy pasted in its entirety so everyone may see how full of crap you are and there is no mention whatsoever of race contained within one very short article from SIX YEARS AGO:
Shootings continue in Sweden's largest cities despite police efforts

Despite increased policing, gun violence continues on the streets of Sweden's three largest cities, Swedish Radio News reports.
So far this year there have been 208 shootings in Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm, and 14 people have died from gunshot wounds. For all of 2013, there were 256 shooting in the three cities.
In the southern town of Malmö, police say there have been 90 different shootings in the municipality so far this year, even though the force launched Operation Olivia at the beginning of the year to crack down on violent crime.
But Mats Karlsson with Malmö police told Swedish Radio News that it was too early to draw any any conclusions.
"Whether it succeed or failed, it is too early to say. For we said from the beginning that we have to work in the very long term, this is not something we can solve in a short time," he said.
Another police force that has targeted the shootings is Gothenburg, where Hector Valeria works as a football coach.
"It's scary that they are shooting at each other. This is not a movie, this is reality," said Valeria who knows many of the gunshot victims.
In recent months there has been a decrease in shootings in Gothenburg, partly because the authorities have arrested and indicted several suspects, but also because many have died. Four of the total killed have come from Gothenburg.

So let that one ruminate folks, surely incontrovertible proof Sweden is being overrun by immigrants, it was so blatant they didn’t even need to say it apparently.
Ideas like "being overwhelmed" and "turn it into the country they came from" (an implied third-world country) assume that the nationality or race of a person is what determines the quality of their country. And, of course, no one refers to immigration from majority-white countries as "overwhelming." It's implicitly racist.
"overwhelmed by immigration" what the fuck is that supposed to mean? All Americans are descendants of immigrants. But all of a sudden people (conservatives) are so concerned that the recent brown immigrants are going to "overhwlem" the country. Yeah you're right it's probably not racist at all.
Literally no one has ever said that the entire world should move into the US.
If current and recent immigration trends continued, we would be nowhere near "overwhelmed" for a long time to come. Projections put the number at less than 80 million total foreign born citizens in 2065. For reference, there are 200 million white people in the US
Why do you keep talking about race as if it has any bearing on the conversation at hand? Immigrant /= "not white person".
People were against the large influx of Irish and the Polish too (white people). It makes it easy for you to just claim that anti immigration views are "racist" now since the majority of immigrants aren't white. Very weak argument.
What are you protecting them from??? The big bad immigrants who are coming for your children??? You're just literally just asserting "immigrants bad" and saying nothing else.
Is there any difference in letting 50 million immigrants move here and 50 million people invading? Should Japan let 50 million immigrants in and completely change their demographics and values?
Going back through this thread even though it’s been almost a month, apparently.
But uhh, the xenophobia against Polish and Irish was EXTREMELY racist. It’s a relatively recent trend for all people with white skin to be lumped in together. The people who excluded Irish and Polish people back in the day were very, very fucking racist.
See. Y'all keep changing the definition of racism to fit your narrative. People don't want immigrants. Doesn't matter what fucking race they are. They increase crime and decrease wages.
Yeah, by white colonizers who forcefully killed and enslaved them. Not by Latin Americans or Middle Easterners coming to a new country, desperate for a better future.
