Few people understand how this all came about (from welcoming European immigrants to opening our nation up to be a "safety net" for the 3rd world).
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965
"Long-term results - Immigration changed America's demographics, opening the doors to immigrants from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
I understand that; what happened in my area was a lot of “legal” Europeans WENT BACK. Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Italy - places that sound horrible today economically - were still more attractive to those people than the US.
It gives you an idea as to where we are economically, what the future holds for us, and what places still have economic potential (watch where the Europeans go).
