@Koba idk I grew up around Polish immigrants and I don't think it's good for America
there's a lot of reasons why immigration sucks
For example, high skill white immigration still disincentivizes investment into education since corporations can just import workers.
thats why its quota'd
It also drives up housing prices
I just don't see the point of it unless it's quota'd to the point that only a super rare nuclear scientist gets in
Cutting off skilled immigration would be a great way to force corporations to invest in the education of American students
It's kind of funny how I'm a child of immigrants and I'm the most hardcore on immigration
Usually the people who tell me how great immigration is as long as it's European are multi generational Americans who didn't grow up around immigrants
how about we just close the borders to everyone and figure out our country as is?
Yes 😍
Everyone uses the argument that “well the WASPs didn’t want the Irish and the Italians here because they thought they’d change they country!!”
They did
@ophiuchus This so much
it's such an idiotic argument
it just assumes that there was no negative effects
My grandma’s parents (giga WASPs, one from England) made my grandfather (Irish Catholic) convert to marry her
I wonder how horrified the founding stock would be at the country's status now?
Dude Increase Brattle would be absolutely steamed
@Jacob Gonna have some Ketchup and Salt for dinner. Eric Striker gang?

America is realistically never going to become a British Protestant country again
dream big
I don’t know how many pure old stock Americans are even left
@Sam Anderson GANG GANG
Most of my ancestors have been here forever, but I have a great grandparent from Ireland, one from Denmark, and one from the UK (even though her father was American)
my fathers side has been here since like 1700ish

he traced our family back to Virginia
Some of my dad’s ancestors came here 398 years ago
Tfw excited for the 2020 Mayflower 400 year anniversary
@ophiuchus when my parents took a DNA test they found that no one in my family history had ever bred with the English.
My friends have always described that my family had an unnatural hatred of the British 😂
Something like 90% of my ancestors were ultimately from the British isles
The only time in my life I didn’t wear sun screen I ended up in the hospital
