Much as they’d like us to think otherwise, Albert Einstein wasn’t a mexican.

No, but neither was he a Christian, an Anglo-Saxon, or born in America.

At the time my Jewish grandparents were arriving at Ellis Island, the newspapers were full of editorials about how unrestricted Jewish immigration was going to destroy the culture and morals of Christian America.

By the 3rd century Rome’s population was a plurity of Germans and Gauls, was it not? That and money printing created tyranny and sent the Empire into a tailspin

(Indeed, the eastern European Jews didn't fare much better; they got harassed by one Thomas Edison early in the 20th Century over control of the early motion picture industry--so much so that when real estate developers in southern California were advertising to sell land in this new-fangled place called Hollywood, the eastern European immigrants jumped at the chance in no time flat. Just about every famous movie studio in southern California were all founded by eastern European immigrants.)

Was the Edison thing really about race or religion or ethnicity? It looks to me like it was about Edison protecting the patents he thought he had on film technology. Many of the newer producers he was fighting against were Jewish, but so were some of the members of his patent trust.

The problem isn’t the changing demographics.

It’s that people are VOTING the changing demographics. Not on ideology, philosophy or policy, but based on being a ____________ - American.

IOW identity politics. Which IS something to be afraid of.

Edison had a really bad habit of overprotecting every piece of intellectual property he had. Indeed, that’s why the very early movie industry was essentially controlled by Edison, and it wasn’t until the Hollywood studios were founded by eastern European Jewish filmmakers after 1910 to escape from Edison’s clutches that the modern longer-form movie started to appear.

Exactly -- if those coming over the border are going to have to work hard, learn passable English and pay some taxes, it wouldn't be such a big deal.

I don't fear change -- I am just sick & tired of my taxes & basic living expenses going up, up, up -- while more and more of the "favored" groups get on the dole.

Must not fear, lest we be called heartless/bigoted/racist.

Its worse than you postulate....

Not only is the media sold out to socialism and the democrats agenda, but this mind set is pervasive throughout most institutions of worth these days.

Just look at Education and most large PC Corporations...both are “sold out” to the lies of socialism and communism.
