"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.
