I will point out that the first "Race Riot " in the UK took place in 1956, in Notting Hill, west London. Recent Jamaican immigrants, versus the locals. So the problem is not a new thing. In more recent times, the Brixton riots. Today the influx of "asylum seekers " coming across the Channel is a national crisis. I will make the distinction between legal immigrants, and illegals.

Or more likely our species would have died out. Think about horses, they evolved in North America but migrated to Asia, then after they became extinct in North America they came back via [human-assisted] migration. I'm so glad those ancient horses migrated.
Yes, and it's not just in the U.S. It's a weird global problem except for Poland. Thousands of illegal have been landing all over Europe transported by boat and while some may be undocumented some are of the criminal element.
Indeed. And citizens in countries across the Western nations are now fighting back against those Ivory Tower elites that pushed those multicultural and diversity philosophies at the behest of economic powers for the sake of their globalization agendas. Controlled legal immigration can be beneficial while excessive uncontrolled immigration brings a list of societal problems.Yes, and it's not just in the U.S. It's a weird global problem except for Poland.

I agree. Multiculturalism HAS failed. Let's fix what's left. Quickly.
Same here in California. Around here a hedge doesn’t get trimmed or a roof repaired by an English speaker. In most Bay Area cities crime is rampant. Low wage immigrants have displaced citizen workers in manual labor jobs, restaurants, etc. Crime in some areas is through the roof. Over 15,000 cars stolen in Oakland and San Francisco so far this year.
With all due respect I think we have to separate legal Immigrants from those who enter the country illegally. Many of my relatives were legal Immigrants. none snuck in illegally. One had to go back to her home country when a problem arose with paperwork. She later returned after the problem was dealt with in her home country.
Thankfully we don't all carry around guns like they do in the US.
Absolutely ..... that is the difference people do not see the ripple effect and politicians want you to believe they are all legal immigrants
Those you speak of all came here legally through Ellis Island like my grandparents. Big difference.
social upheaval and willl get worse driven by the obvious-- retired, used to be quite, clean and safe-- no longer safe- still cleanishDo you see violence in the streets now? Is council housing overwhelmed or are the migrants being sent to hotels at your, the taxpayer's, expense? I wasn't sure how bad this all was until it got here. This could be another life changer for me if it gets any worse.
Until recently, I've not been much for conspiracy theories. However, it's difficult to look at this situation and see anything less than our government building a large, low cost labor force in an effort to continue to compete globally. Busing the immigrants to various cities in other states likely just makes this low cost labor force available to these other states. It's simply too difficult to compete if the employer is required to pay a living wage. I strongly believe that if the U.S. decides to close the border with Mexico it could be done quite quickly. There's a reason it's left open.
It would seem that way. The fact is, our education system is rapidly declining. Teachers barely make a living wage and the standard seems to be set to lowest level. I believe it to be part of our government's effort to build an increasingly affordable labor force. I used to think our politicians were completely incompetent, now I believe they are deadly efficient in their pursuits. Simply put, they have much different goals and ideas of what this country should look like than most of the citizens.
Politics seldom has any relationship to reality. It's a mixture of need, greed, fantasy, conditioning, and power. OK, those 5 things and a few more are part of reality in that they exist. They are real, but the actual reality that all of us live in, the one that exists whether we like it or not does not interest the political powers, which trys it's best to gain more power through whatever means possible. As peons, it is our role in life to support it and vote for it, and then cheer for it.
I'm currently finishing a book describing the effects in store as global warming becomes more serious. It deals not just with the science, although it fully covers the physical science, but also gets into the issues that science, in it's prudence, does not deal with, specifically politics and human behavior. One whole chapter deals with the mass human migration that will take place. It doesn't refer to it as emigration in the negative context.
Yes indeed! This is what I was saying, too... I'm not understanding why the issue of immigrants that do the paperwork and take the citizenship test to become Americans is so often confused with the tens of thousands of undocumented coming in. Totally totally different. America has always had open arms to documented/legal immigrants or most of us wouldn't be here... this has nothing at all to do with those thousands sneaking in. Well, scratch that... there's not a need to sneak any longer.
