@nickyruddx@Neon_Crusade There are Muslims who are Indians. And Indians who are not Muslims.
One is a country, the other is a religion.
But your career choice of rage baiting 80 IQ conservatives in the US won’t let you care.
@JesterJum@scott73187192 They did this in California. Now the boomers who bought 30 yrs ago won’t leave their houses. And families with kids can’t find any homes in reach.
@coach28373@maga4less@darkacademician Your insecurity of feeling like you're getting replaced is not new. Every generation of nativists in every country feels this. It's primate biology.
The definition of who is a native changes with every generation. You can choose to be fearful or recognize that it doesn't matter.
@coach28373@maga4less@darkacademician The Irish had no laws, while the Asians did (Chinese Exclusion Act).
The original point: Irish were unwanted by nativists. They walked right in because there were no laws for them. Nativists did not want the Irish.
But now the Irish are part of being "native white" in the US.
@coach28373@maga4less@darkacademician Prior to 1921, there were no laws restricting immigration other than to Asians. You can argue all Irish walked right in as there were no quotas.

Percent of immigrants vs US Born between 10-15% since 1850 -- Source: Census Bureau
@coach28373@maga4less@darkacademician Many waves of Irish were undocumented immigrants. What you would call illegal immigration today.
Percent of immigrants vs US born has remained steady between 10-15% since 1850.
The comparison is not moot.
It shows how the definition of nativism evolves every generation.
@maga4less@coach28373@darkacademician Nativists said the same thing about Italians and Irish when those immigrants came in. “We don’t want them”.
Now those groups are part of “white”.
The insecurity of nativists will always remain too. They are a scared bunch in every country.
@TommyBoyo91@Brandon71508627@chakravartiiin Fair catch on the per year typo on my end.
The point remains that the existence of a range does not change the conclusion.
And even at the lowest end of the range is in stark contrast to narratives in conservative circles that immigrants (legal or otherwise) are a net drag.
@TommyBoyo91@Brandon71508627@chakravartiiin The difference between 50% and 200% is a range. The existence of a range is not controversial. It’s the exact opposite: it makes the conclusion stronger.
Even the lowest 50% levels each “native” costs $130k per year more. And net benefit of immigrants remains high.
@TommyBoyo91@Brandon71508627@chakravartiiin You’re making a point that is already covered in that same table?
They show 3 subtotal rows (with and without public goods per capita at the bottom.
And in each case the difference continues to exist at different degrees.
@Radstaker@LeadingReport Immigrants make more money > why are they getting paid more?
Immigrants get paid less > why are they under-cutting me?
You won’t be satisfied either way.
Cause you know who you are.
A dipshit.
@HonestXAmerican@SanDiegoKnight@JohnJSSoriano No shit dumbass. That's why there's a path to citizenship with USCIS for them. Otherwise there's no incentive to upend your life to help build another country with your higher skills.
@SanDiegoKnight@ModernHerm@JohnJSSoriano Actually your reason is:
-- I feel bad Indians are being made to look wealthier than a group I identify with.
-- I'm gonna say they have too many people in their stable families.
-- Oh not a valid point? Let me imply they commit fraud.
SYBAU Hany, you insecure turd.
