By 2055 no racial or ethnic group will constitute a majority of the American population. Non-Hispanic whites will account for less than half of the population compared with 62% today and 84% in 1965. The Pew report shows that without any immigration after the 1965 Immigration Act, America’s population today would be 75% white, 14% black, 8% Hispanic and less than 1% Asian.
This shift in America’s ethnic make-up is a huge change for a country that was mainly populated by white immigrants from Europe until 1965. But as Mr Passel points out, each wave of new immigrants was initially eyed with suspicion by America’s residents. In the 1840s a wave of Irish and Germans arrived, most of them Catholic, to a hostile reception by Anglo-Saxon protestants. A next wave included Italians and Jews from Poland, Ukraine and Russia, who were again made unwelcome by the established locals thanks to their alien customs, religion and languages. “Today we see our immigration history with rose-tinted glasses,” says Mr Passel, but each new group had a rough start.

Power, money, money, power. They actually believe that they can ride the tiger. History has proven them wrong every time, but they refuse to acknowledge history. I’m different, it won’t happen to me, they all say. But it does.
The problem with immigration, even LEGAL immigration, is that we are no longer trying to be a “melting pot!”
To even say, “Melting pot.”, on some college campuses is considered HATE SPEECH! We are supposed to encourage “diversity” which is then used to SEPARATE us!
The government has been working on this crap and the American breakdown, for a pretty long, hard time! Unfortunately, they are winning!!
DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner! Democrats and Liberals believe that if they feed the Tiger, that it won’t eat them!
But, a tiger is going to be a tiger, which means, sooner or later, it will eat it’s owner - especially when the owner can no longer feed it the ever-growing rations which the tiger desires!!
"Slipping and sliding toward third wordism!"

We have always been a nation of ethnic enclaves. The first and maybe second generations may not want to assimilate, but by the third generation, they're all-American.
As long as Sharia Law isn't put into place, I don't care if Dearbornistan remains Dearbornistan.
“The destruction of White America is the destruction of America”
This can be said about any country. Look at South African countries and soon to be Europe.
One of the fundamental pillars of Western Civilzation is civic engagement.
We go to town meetings.
We vote.
And most importantly, we speak put against injustices.
By silencing the little people of the West (that’s us!), the elites will have free reign to finally implement a true police state where individual freedoms and liberties are a thing of the past.
Not to sound dramatic but White Westerners are the last arrier to a one world government.
“Barrier”.
What you will see is the balkanization of the US. With those who have no intention of assimilating doing their best to get into the white/asian* enclaves where life may still be worth living if we’re lucky.

I agree!
The 1965 Immigration Act along with the 1964 Civil Rights bill, two of the most disastrous pieces of legislation in your history I think.
I remember being taught Spanish in school back in the 60’s and we were told many, many people will need to speak it in the future. Turns out they were right.
Damn RINO scum!!!!!
Oh, wait, that was a 2/3s democrat Congress you say? Oh, well never mind, down with McConnell, it’s all his fault!!! ;p
Legal immigration needs to be cut down on as well if you ask me.
Totally brilliant. I want T Shirts!
