like, if you're left winged - you could argue that a) it's exporting foreign people to do cheap labour and b) depriving poor countries of their youth, energy, and the resources they put into educating and bringing up their children

yeah you'd think they would see that

BUT

They feel gratitude only because their lives improve so far.

the 'left' in actuality has been eaten by corporate shills

well of course

you can see why the individuals in these poor countries would want a new life in another country

but it's... disturbing when looked at like this

They are told what a horrible place America is and they still come. So they don't believe that apparently.

So how much of the immigrant left is just loyalty? I guess they get trapped in welfare too though.

it has parallels to olden day slave trade (of course not as bad)

but it's using the hard-earnt resources of a poorer country, for exploitation and benefits to a wealthier one

the resource being, a young healthy man

hang on a sec i have a thing somewhere

@aradesh

how many of them actually work though?

i think this was from a speech in the 30s or something

@MerNihiliste a lot of them work under the table and get benefits

@aradesh It is why I call it modern day colonialism. We get the best of their countries. Their poorest cannot AFFORD to leave for America. Only their somewhat successful.

speaking of before the war times - this is a cute song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJY71fSfVdg&t=2m10s rip our old culture and traditions

it makes me sad to see this sort of old footage, because i know it's all but completely lost now

Just that their successful people are poor in comparison to us.

I think it's interesting that the importers assume they can maintain control of these populations. I'd assume at some point they'd want autonomy of some sort.

they assume people are interchangeable and after ageneration or two of western schooling they'll be as british as toast sandwiches, or whatever regional variant you want

I think they are counting on the welfare trap doing that for them

@Tero No they don't want them to integrate.

what why not

Because they need to culturally isolate people to keep them an 'other'.

If you integrate you stop seeing yourself as different.

apparently our muslims used to integrate better

Thus your identity cannot be pitted against the locals

but now due to politics, and funding from the middle east, there's so much propaganda being pumped into their mosques and houses via the internet, they're becoming less and less integrated each generation

not entirely true, like the scottish are arguably integrated but still different

They share British culture don't they? Just not English.

or perhaps it's because their numbers are getting sufficiently large that they don't have to integrate

They aren't the same but have the necessary overlap.

you get whole streets and sections of towns where they all walk around in their islamic robes and all the girls and women wear full-on burqas

even children

My understanding is that those are relatively new parts of Islamic culture.

@EnderOctanus ye, so we'll just get british muslims

yup, but it's almost like they're doing it to... push back against british culture
