Unlimited immigration is for every White country, and ONLY for White countries?
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan should bring in millions of third world immigrants and “assimilate” with them.
Prior to the Immigration Act of 1965, the US was 90% White, i.e. European. In a few decades, White people are projected to be less than 50% of the population. This trend is celebrated as a good thing. The exact same thing is happening all around Western and Southern Europe.
What would people say if we were celebrating China or Japan becoming less than 50% Asian!?
Population movements are natural. But specific POLICIES to flood all White countries with other races and “assimilate” them are not natural - it's genocide.
No one is flooding ANY non-White country with millions of foreigners, force-assimilating them, then screaming "Racist" at anyone who opposes that genocide. This ONLY happens in White countries.
“Anti-racist” is just a codeword for anti-White.
We're all outta Africa Mr. Scott. All recent sapiens migrations, (by recent, I mean a couple hundred thousand years) originated from Africa. Pigmentation was lost in the northern regions to give the body a better chance at producing vitamin D from the more meager sunlight during the winter months. Now with modern day transportation, assimilation is taking place around the world, and "white races" are going to get browner. Even Neanderthal, homo sapiens hybrids will tan up a bit if that theory has any merit. The bottom line is that without the stirring provided by modern transportation systems and economic driven migration, northern countries will grow whiter while southern countries darker. What floods countries with immigrants is economic inequalities. A person does what it needs to survive and doesn't really give much thought to a countries "pigmentation quotient."
I don't know what you are talking about. 500 years ago and every year prior the land you're standing on was not inhabited by WHITE people. You want to keep white people white? Go back to Europe and kick everyone non-white out of there.
White people have been in Europe for over 1000 years, and few other ethnic non-whites were trying to go there. Brown skinned people have inhabited these North and South American continents, and will continue to inhabit these continents FOREVER. This has ALWAYS been my land.
I was here when the DUTCH showed up here, I'm still here. The USA is NOT a white country, you really need to lose that notion because you will be removed through assimilation.
... race, religion, ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy will ultimately destroy us all, a proposition that now seems inevitable, at least to me. And, with the advent of "communication at the speed of light", the process leading us inexorably toward our demise (and ultimate destruction) has been accelerated, and set on a trajectory that may well be irreversible. We humans, all of us, are the most dangerous life-form to have emerged out of the "primordial ooze" of creation. We are a danger to ourselves and to all life on earth. And, in my humble opinion, our technologies, coupled with who and what we are as a species, our capacity for death, destruction (and denial) of biblical proportions, have placed us well beyond the "tipping point". We are, at once, both "thinkers" and fools (as many of the comments on this page suggest), a deadly combination that is destined to destroy us all. It is simply a matter of time...
THIS IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!
The only thing wrong about giving the DREAMERS a card for legal status, can they VOTE???????????????????Will they make a difference in the elections?????????????????????? If so, OBAMA wins.
It should have been a reverse sting,baiting them up with promise of a new program,and them slamming shut all exits,and lining them up,and sending them back,This is why USA is @!$%#ed,An immigrant does for a nickle what a negro used too do for a quarter,what a white man/woman would do for a dollar,But guess what?while thousands of illegals hoard to the USA,Its catching on,and americans are flocking to the central and south americas,where a retiree can survive on their retirement pay,easier than in the greedy usa,An immigrant will settle for any @!$%#ty job in the US,and act like they are living large on minium wage.But most of them try to get on welfare,and ruin the system for americans that have worked and paid into all their lives,just to be given to an undeserving unqualified illegal immigrant,that slip thru the cracks with phony papers and Id. Im retired us government,Ive seen it unfold before my own eyes.
Notice how this"New Program" was developed right before Obamas re-election campaign?He did this to secure the votes of all these illegals,that when granted papers for the usa,should be able to vote,and re-elect Obama.
