It was seen as an invading force (although I'm not sure the founders envisioned it that way)
ahh
So kinda like how islam and non american cultures are seen today
Plenty of people felt that way
Except this time it's extremely legitimate
The founders would not accept 1/10th of the people immigrating into the US nowadays
^^
Also the Pope. Many WASPs felt Rome was influencing American politics through the Catholic population.
Irishmen signed the declaration, muslims, africans, and mexicans did not.

then african
now it's turning Dominican
Each incarnation worse than the last.
the transformation of America:
I can't see how it can get much worse in who we're letting in
well we can thank lbj for t hat
I love how its mexico in like every damn state
I hate it
I hate it so much
White Protestant America (before 1980)-> White Christian America (before 2010)-> White America (now, until 2040) -> Brazil (TICK TOCK)
very disturbing trend
so progressive
why dont we have as many european immirants
is it becasue they dont want to come
or is it because we favor non whites over them
'65 immigration act
Diversity visa lottery
rip
so its not merit
