IMMIGRANTS ???
or partial illegal aliens ???
To put a fine point on it- In 100 years this will be called the era of legalized servitude. And D1 college football and basketball will fall into that category.
From the end of the civil war until about 1910, the USA under the Homestead Act of 1862 opened up vast amounts of vacant land west of the Mississippi River and that is why immigrants represented 15% of the population during those 40 years.
Sorry, current invaders, all of the land in the USA is currently occupied and we do not need you.
Note also the charts end before 2020.
“””Is Japan accepting more immigrants?”””
Yes, but they send them home after working in Japan.
Now, they may or may not want to work, but they definitely want to be "paid" by any means, primarily government handouts, and the concept of being an "American" isn't even on the list. They want to be Mexican, Somali, or whatever else, and be eligible for the largesse that "America" will provide, but they want to make it change to accommodate them.
And that is the best case scenario. This is the likely one:
Another question worth looking into: what’s happened to LEGAL immigration? The kind of prospective immigrant who has gone through the previous channels in applying and then waiting for acceptance, probably based on a job skill they could bring?
Is that person still sitting in their overseas home waiting for the letter or phone call that tells the to come? In some cases, probably yes, and ironically, those are the type of immigrant that you probably want to receive; in other cases, probably not, they say, well I wanted to go to America and all I need to do is show up at the border or an airport, and apply for asylum, or disappear into the throngs.
So another question, while we’re focussed on border jumpers, how any illegal immigrants are coming in by “pretend tourist” status where you just show up as a tourist and never go home? This is almost exclusively how Canada gets illegal immigrants but so far the government response here is about the same as what it was before this new paradigm, in other words, it is still not acceptable and “missing” tourists in country are being hunted and if intercepted, deported.
In Canada, the immigration situation is a political issue where different parties have different levels of immigration they would support, but I don’t perceive that even our more progressive parties are into open borders or unlimited illegal immigration. The reason for the difference is that we don’t have an easily penetrated border with thousands of illegals swarming it, so more by luck than skill, we don’t have this magnitude of problem. Yet. I feel like it’s only a matter of time until our progressives start enabling a larger flow, but up until now, the question of size of flow is within legal boundaries, in other words, if a voter doesn’t agree, there are alternatives.
Used to be you needed a sponsor who ensured you were not a drain on society. Now society ensures you get taken care of. F that.
I fume every time I see a picture of that arrogant piece of trash giving the finger. There are too many like him.
Very true. I probably posted an old website.
Illegal numbers have probably climbed another 10-20 million since 2020.
Excellent example of today’s illegal.
He was already facing felony charges before he beat on those cops. After that arrest, he was released with no bail, and was sent by Catholic Charities to California.
Pull the welfare rug out from under them. . Watch them return at a 30% rate like 100 years ago.
Left us with the strong ones.
Not so strange to these humble eyes, considering that:
All over the Western world, the nincompoops, who comprise our power elites, have turned against the heritage populations - for whatever harebrained reason.
May God help us all.
