Subj : Immigration To : Dale Shipp From : Lee Lofaso Date : Sun Oct 23 2022 19:16:54 Hello Dale, DS> As a counter to all of the heated discussion over the number of DS> migrants/refugees/illegal aliens coming into the USA over the last DS> decade over the Southern border: Consider the mid 19th century and DS> Ireland. If you take a look, one can find various numbers for different DS> periods, with many of the estimates overlapping in time. Here are some DS> of those numbers: DS> 4.5 million from 1841 to WWII DS> ~1 million from 1851 to 1860 DS> ~2 million from 1845 to 1852 DS> ~3 million from 1820 to 1880 DS> Whichever set of numbers one uses, it is clear that there were hundreds DS> of thousands of migrants each year for more than a decade after the DS> potato famine. And all of them were white. Each and every one of them. But nobody wants to let all them Ukrainians in. Even though all of them are white. And nobody wants to let all them Russians trying to flee a madman who wants to send them to Ukraine. DS> These people were not deported. The USA does not deport its own kind. Especially those who sneak in from the northern border. DS> For the most part, they established themselves as productive members of DS> society. Irish worked the streets as policemen, security detail, and made for great boxers. But it was not just Irish who made up America. Italian and Sicilians who made their way to New Orleans built the world's largest macaroni factory and made noodles (and spaghetti) for the entire country ... DS> Another estimate is that 1/3 of the USA population claims Irish heritage. And what is the population of white folks in this country? Far more than 1/3. Used to be more like 2/3. Still over half today, but by 2050 will be a minority. DS> SO -- why is the current influx from the Southern border such a DS> political hot potato? We cannot build wall fast enough. Brown folks are already a majority of the population in New Mexico. And growing fast in Arizona and Nevada. And continuing to grow in California, especially in East LA. But no wall on our northern border. We need more white folks to keep the majority from losing control ... For Life, Lee -- If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face. --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: news://eljaco.se:4119 (2:203/2) .
