The New Minority

"Prior to 1965, the demographics of immigration stood as mostly Europeans; 68 percent of legal immigrants in the 1950s came from Europe and Canada. However, in the years 1971–1991, immigrants from Hispanic and Latin American countries made 47.9 percent of immigrants (with Mexico accounting for 23.7 percent) and immigrants from Asia 35.2 percent. Not only did it change the ethnic makeup of immigration, but it also greatly increased the number of immigrants—immigration constituted 11 percent of the total U.S. population growth between 1960 and 1970, growing to 33 percent from 1970–80, and to 39 percent from 1980–90.^[19] " - from Wiki

I think I know what led to the confusion. While the percentage of Europeans went down, the total number of immigrants went up, so the same number of Europeans would be a smaller percentage of the total. Uncle Ken is right that nothing here indicates that it's any harder for Europeans to get into the country than it ever was. The fact still remains that there are a lot more non-Europeans getting into the country than Europeans. Since non-Europeans generally have a higher birthrate than Europeans, it's only a matter of time until we become a minority in our own country if the present trend continues. You Chicago guys don't seem to mind being in the minority, but you're used to it.

When a politician says the word "reform" he means "increase". We don't need immigration reform in this country, what we need is to fix the immigration problem, and Trump's shithole outburst has insured that is not going to happen any time soon. I don't care what you guys say, I think he did it on purpose.
