Didn’t know Polish peoples were an immigration problem...

This is good; however, don’t let down your guard. Build the wall. ICE arrest all illegal alien invaders. No quarter. End the anchor baby abomination.

As a proud Polish-American — second generation — I call “bull” on this.

I suspect what we’re dealing with here is the NYT’s standards of political correctness.

In this case: Avoid any appearance of picking on people of color by lumping some European immigrants in among the unassimilable foreigners.

Painful as this may sound to my fellow conservatives, any Third World immigration is bad for what historically has been a white, Christian nation. Some cultures are just going to have a hard time mixing with ours.

It was hard enough assimilating the Irish, Italian, and other Catholics into a Protestant culture. The fact that they were is testament to the resilience of that culture.

But our culture is like a balloon — it can only stretch so far before it pops.

And that’s about where we find ourselves today.

Any time there’s an income differential, people are gonna head over to the country with higher incomes. The smaller the differential, the smaller the illegal cohort. Polish incomes are 50% higher than Mexican incomes but 1/2 South Korean incomes, and we get all the nationalities as illegals. Fairly tiny from South Korea because the income differential is small. But even with South Korea, you’ll get some, because there’s a tiny xenophile slice that wants to see the world, and the US is a continental-sized slice of it.

They are if there Illegal.

Are you kidding?
The whole freakin world is pouring in.
I’ve worked with invaders from countries so small I had never previously heard of them!
Lots of illegal Irish here too, I do not give a “Pass” to ANY of them.
Deport ALL illegals, no exceptions.

There is a long and continuing tradition among Poles of finding advanced schooling and employment abroad and eventually returning home with their earnings and new skills. An Irish born building contractor in New York I once knew described how he hired any Poles he could get because they were characteristically hardworking and reliable.

Or the South Koreans. I don’t understand why some people don’t like Asians. They’re quiet, hardworking people who stay in their own lane (figuratively speaking) and don’t race-bait. I’ve yet to meet an Asian who supported affirmative action or demanded that white university students not show up to class on a certain day.

There were lots of Poles, legal and illegal, when I lived in Chicago in the 1990s. Wallington, NJ has the highest % of people born in Poland in the entire United States.

I know many on this site (not you) like to scream about Mexicans/Latinos like they are the only immigrant group living here, but I noticed that you don’t see as many coming to North Jersey or even NYC as you did in the 80s and 90s. East Indians and Chinese are the biggies in my immediate area.

Anyone who is here illegally is an immigration problem.

I don't care who you are, where you are from or what language you speak.

If you are not here legally, go home.
