That's why I avoid immigration threads. I welcome immigrants from China, India, Great Britain and Latin America to energize our nation and to add to our growing economy.

It's the American way!

The FReepers who complains about Hispanics are a bunch of Know-Nothing thugs from the 19th Century.

All I know is that babies are a joy to behold, and they make this strong man weak and putty-like.

This one becomes my neice on 03/01/08, the day I get married.

Oh my gosh... lovely baby...

My son is getting married on February 29, 2008. I'm hoping for a grandchild 9 months later... lol

He and my new daughter plan to have a few munchkins.

I can't wait. The best part of my life has been the 32 years that I've been a MOM... :o)

No, it WASN'T - until 1965.

Prior to 1965, the official immigraion policy of the United States was to admit people of European ancestry, almost exclusively (I said, "almost"). It was VERY difficut for, say, Chinese or Indians to get here.

Prior to 1965, official US immigration policies were (well, what the heck, might as well say it) exclusionary and discriminatory. As they SHOULD be, in my opinion. The underlying reason was to limit immigration to those who would resemble, and who would preserve, the traditional color and culture of the nation of the founders.

It was after the immigration reform act of 1965 that the multicultural floodgates opened. We are seeing the results of that, only now.

My current reading material is "Day of Reckoning", by Patrick J. Buchanan. Here's a relevant excerpt:
=======
"Democracy and fee markets do not a country make. Constitutions, no matter how eloquent, abstract ideas no matter how lovely, do not create a nation. A nation writes its constitution. A nations drafts its own birth certificate. What makes a people and a nation is a common and unique homeland and people, history and heritage, language and literature, song and story, traditions and customs."
=======

We are seeing that common culture, heritage, and ethnicity ripped to shreds right before our eyes, encouraged by the powers-that-be.

I realize your opinion may be different. That's mine.

Baby bump. I did my part for 2006 babies!

“Kohler and others say the difference has more to do with culture than race. For example, white American women have more children than white European — even though many nations in Europe have more family-friendly government policies on parental leave and child care.”

Thanks, I need some fools to pay for social security.

If you intend to depend on social security, I see forced euthenasia in your far future.

Congratulations. Nieces are great. If their mothers aren’t ready to kill you for something you bought them, you ain’t doin’ it right. ;-)

That’s why I rarely post here anymore.

The barely-concealed racist rage against Hispanics on many threads is indeed hard to take.

And let’s not forget which Senator led the charge for the 1965 immigration reform. None other than the corpulent, drunken, boozy, mistress-dunking Senator from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy.
