If you rely on immigration from 3rd world countries to replenish population, you'll become a 3rd world country. Do you really want that?

- tokenadult 12y agoThe United States has always relied on immigration from worse-off countries to grow strong as a country. The immigrants come here and become Americans. Only a minority of today's Americans are descended from immigrants from Britain (indeed, only a minority of my own ancestors were from Britain), but almost everyone here is English-speaking and American in cultural outlook. This is how immigration works: people become acculturated to the new country, even with very high rates of immigration.
