We do more to hoist this country up than your natural Americans, doesn't have to be from Europe, could be from Asia or Africa. Since generally only smart people are let in (and Cubans), legal immigrants and their children on average are far smarter than your average American and his children. Take out the immigrants, and the US will crumble. |
The US was doing just fine before we opened up to non-european immigartion.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
