Admittedly I’ve never had a black person get my name wrong.

Last time it happened, this was about four weeks ago, I was called Javier. I don’t think they’d encountered my name before.

Flooding? Are you fricking retarded?

8 million in 4-5 years is about 2.5% of the total population. It's happening in Europe as well.

It is a pretty apt term.

There have been about 3 million since 2020, with some estimates much higher.

First of all, how many immigrants do you see begging?
A pretty decent amount.

We should also mention that welfare use by households headed by non-citizens is ~58%, 20% higher than used by citizens.

Nope, sorry. I haven't been to many industrial shipyards. Where legal immigrants with VISAs work and apparently do a better job than native speakers.

Sorry for the loss and acumen.

There's no "technical" citizenship. They are American citizens or they aren't.

Here in Alpharetta, GA, area...

Employees at retail are dominated by Indians (dot), and they are barely comprehensible. In some cases, COMPLETELY devoid of English.

Restaurants are dominated by Spanish speakers.

Go to any gas station in the morning, and you will think you are in Chihuahua.

I challenge you to go to your school review site of choice and look at demographics and ESL numbers around the district and tell me what you think.

You'll be shocked at quickly the numbers are changing.

It's fricking insane.
You live in the largest suburb of the largest city in the south. It's gonna be very ethnically diverse

Been in Htown for 15 years. I warmly embrace the Latino culture and have no issue with the demographics flipping to Hispanic in Texas as a whole.

Mostly hard-working Catholics who are welcoming 95% of the time.

Now. That said, the border issue is real and I’m not a fan/worried.

You will eventually become like the countries of the voting majority. That's not an anti-immigrant statement or anything. It's just a fact.

Yep. And northeast ATL has orchards that employ thousands of immigrants.

There is no official language in this country, so they have every right to speak their language.

There’s that line that the past is a foreign country, that’s becoming uniquely true in the United States.

English is the official language in Florida I believe this is true in 30+ other states.
