WTF is wrong with Americans?

[kristopher]

40. Yes, immigrants do come to the US.

Do you suppose that fact alone argues against the content of the OP?

If so, how?

Shouldn't we look at actual numbers and demographics over time? Don't you think that would tell us more accurately what message immigrants can give us about the condition of this nation?

For example, what is the rate of immigration from the Group of 8 nations? What about the OECD nations? Or from BRICs?
Do you think the topics raised in the OP are irrelevant because people who have a lower standard of living might want to find a better home?

Do you think those persons have a true understanding of what is happening politically and economically in the US?

Do you believe that once here and established, they will view as unimportant the problems of
extreme income disparity,
extreme economic uncertainty among the middle and lower economic class,
the virtual war on the public by the police and courts, and
the lack of educational opportunities for the intelligent non-wealthy?

In other words, what do you think is important about your observation?
