I'm not against Hispanics, considering they're the fast growing demographic in the US, but I don't like the idea of the USA becoming Mexico Jr.
How would others feel if the UK was 90% Arabic? Or if Canada was 90% Chinese? |

The reason why they come here is because America is a country where you KNOW you will be more successful then the last (99% of the time). If we ban their immigration, look at how poor they are now, and look at how poor they will be if they spend a live's worth of savings crossing the border just to be turned back and not allowed in.
Being against immigration IS racist for that reason. |

@Spite
Exile seems a bit too harsh, but I agree with the part about immigrants arriving to start a better life.
In Sweden, I think, if you're an immigrant you must prove that you will contribute to society or else you will be denied from staying. |

Mexican immigrants do here to seek a better life
and they stimulate the economy because they're hard workers, and are willing to do any job
Mexican immigrants contribute to society much more than Cubans (this coming from a Cuban) |

The immigration crisis is all the USA's fault. The War on Drugs was a massive failure, and the fallout is still strongly evident today. |

It's not all Mexican. There are many immigrants that arrive from Central America such as Honduras, Guatemala, etc. |

America used to be [and most likely still is] the "Melting Pot". The thing is that some people fear that the US will lose it's diversity to a new minority majority. |

that's pretty much an oxymoron though by "majority" i assume you mean white europeans, correct me if i'm wrong because of the diversity across the US and the world it is hard to call a group a "majority" because not only is that group in itself extremely diverse, but in some areas it may not be in the majority you also can't clump the minorities into an ethnic group called "minorities" because they are even farther diverse. |

I mean, in my country.
There have been cases of people that had to leave the country because of their family arriving here. And they were BORN here.
Those people have to leave, it seems. Yet the country welcomes immigrants with open arms.
This has nothing to do with racism, it's the ice cold fact that you simply can't help everyone. |

"The War on Drugs"
Hold on. I don't even need to finish typing that quote. We're clearly talking about different things. I'M talking about how we need to raise poor people to being normal or rich. Idk wtf you're talking about because you keep jumping around. |

kill welfare, promote charities, kill government regulation, sell off federal lands, localize services such as public schooling and roads, promote local/state-funded onling/home schooling, privatize or kill several government services which can be provided by private entities or are unnecessary |

"kill government regulation"
If America becomes an Anarchy, Then no laws will be made, nor will they be in effect. Imagine what it would be like to discover that someone is stalking you so they can kill you, and they didn't start until America became an Anarchy.
We don't want that. |

The immigration crisis has a very long back story, tracing back to the War on Drugs [1980-90s]. This is when the Latin countries starting going to the toilet. |
