@dbmhoosier He pays all that money for a suit and he still can’t find one that fits? His tailor must hate him, although in his defense, it’s probably hard to fit one over his massive diaper.

@arthur-dent looking at it in terms of proportionality is not logically sound.
There were 30 million Americans at the outbreak of the Civil War. That’s not enough to occupy this continent and a lot of breathing room for those that were here. But we needed more people.
I find leftists to be disingenuous in this debate because they don’t recognize the idea that immigration policy should react to the circumstances of the time.
An entire continent to settle and no welfare state? Bring on the immigrants, that’s rational.
The world’s largest welfare state, 350 million people and a $40 trillion national debt?
You’d have to be insane to bring in people that would be a net tax burden.
Insanity runs deep and wide in the American democrat party.
@oneeyedundertaker I've mentioned before and you have never contradicted me because I am 100% correct, the Germans and Irish did not assimilate when they came over. It is why both of our Know Nothing ancestors hated these foreigners, well that and they tended to be Catholic. I can find you evidence of town meetings held in German, hundreds of German language newspapers, Ohio required teaching school in German if asked for. The Army of the Potomac had the XI corps that spoke German. We had an Irish Brigade that flew a green flag with Gaelic words and Irish symbols. How is that different than a rainbow flag? We survived it. You want people to come here and assimilate the next day, that wasn't our history, and again, we survived it perfectly well. Going to war with Germany in 1917 brought assimilation. 1815 began the German immigration, so for 100 years we had German communities inside the US.
You will probably mention culture, look at Germany. It was until 1919 a stark dictatorship with very few rights. The Kaiser had FAR more power than the King of England. Then of course, it became a dictatorship again in the 30s and 40s. Germans were not a perfect fit for American culture; they came and did well, even though they were widely discriminated against.
It was enough at one time that people wanted to come here to be free, that was our common bond. Do you have any idea that the people coming here don't want freedom?
For a long time some said we were a melting pot. Others pointed out we weren't a melting pot, we were a beef stew. In a melting pot everyone is the same, that wasn't America. Irish Boston wasn't close to the same as German Cincinnati or English Charleston. They spoke differect dialects and often different languages. They had different customs, different religions.
If it is violence that concerns you, watch Gangs of New York, then look it up. 5 Points was very violent as Italians and anti-Italians basically went to war. Again, we didn't stop all immigration from Italy.
So what is different between immigrants today and those of 1850?
What a freakin waste of time.

You have a ridiculous tendency to call anyone a liar when you are uncomfortable with the facts that they share.
You have zero self awareness.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Well ... they are all the same.... Democrats good Republicans bad. I think it's funny that you went to the trouble to see who disliked your posts. You must lead a boring life.The little pussy @jdb took the time to dislike over 40 posts of mine.
To be fair, if I opened up the site to 40 notifications, I'd want to know wtf was going on.
Little hickory is mad because I disliked a few of his posts and started his retribution tirade. He conveniently omitted that fact. Then, he DM'd me since he was butthurt over e-points.
jdb just loves disliking my posts because he acts just like a child himself so that he can be desired by trump 😉

that would be pedo loving jdb. you and trump must have lots in common 😉
Actually, NPT, you can see them all at once by simply opening up the notifications bell at the top, which explicitly indicates likes and dislikes. It's only with other responses you need to look individually.I think it's funny that you went to the trouble to see who disliked your posts.

Edit: It's understandable you wouldn't know this because people like your posts...
