The bigger question is, will all the new arrivals turn American into what they left behind? It has been impossible that many cultures would ever have produced political and economic systems that would have brought freedom and opportunity to most of their members. Will those from failed cultures begin to unwittingly drag down the culture of the USA, in the name of ethnic pride, down to the level of what was left behind?

In a word, yes.

That you ask those questions indicates they haven’t done a good job of integrating into the melting pot yet and aren’t likely to begin to do so as the temperature rises.

We’re looking at the balkanization of America, there will be areas carved out by culture, color and language and there will be continual bloody fighting between the groups.

What we have most to fear is not white decline but a failure by new immigrants to assimilate.

“Will those from failed cultures begin to unwittingly drag down the culture of the USA, in the name of ethnic pride, down to the level of what was left behind?”

Very likely, and history tells us this will be so.

Between 1890 and 1920 the US imported 20 million immigrants from eastern Europe. Many were the proto-Marxists of their day. (The newspapers referred to this group as the “red flag wavers.”}

They gave us the income tax, direct election of senators, women’s sufferage, militant unions, the rise of the bureaucratic dictatorship and the destruction of many outstanding capitalist ventures, such as Calumet & Hecla Mining Co.

Importing 60 million new socialists, communists and welfare bums will not help this republic a bit.

One hundred years ago we had no welfare programs and we got the ambitious who came here for the opportunities to succeed. Now we get people who come here for the welfare benefits. People on welfare can afford to have lots of kids, while the middle class can't afford kids because tey're paying taxes to support a bunch of parasites

The only solution is to abolish welfare. If the underclass women had to support their own kids by working McDonalds, they would get themselves sterilized.
