    Equal opportunity immigration sounds fair to me. Countries like Haiti, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and India should have their immigration quotas reduced in favor of increased quotas for Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, UK, and other Western nations.

    The comment was unhelpful, I agree. Slovenia used to be considered a shithole.

    What makes you think people from those countries are all eager to come here?

    The first group of countries have much to gain from migrating to America. What does America have to offer the second group that their own countries don't already?

    Name a country full of "white" people: Ireland, Italy, Poland, Germany, etc...and there's been a huge backlash when they show up on our shores.

    Then it was the SE Asians, Indo/Pak, Central Americans, Mexicans...and we learned from our earlier mistakes.

    Now it seems people want to go back 100+ years, like they learned nothing, or know nothing, about this country.

    I think we'll be ok. Everything is cyclical.

    They are pretty much all more educated than you. Which is what's funny, you think that because they are "dark" they are inferior and less educated. You are showing how biased you are.


    For the Prez to prefer people from Norway over minorities countries is disturbing.

    You support racism even if you don't apologize or support him.

    Quit acting like you're not. Every soul here is racist, just depends to what degree. Some pull the victim card far more often than others, but we're all racist to a degree.

    If given a choice, would you rather have a wealthy, educated immigrant or a poor, uneducated immigrant?

    Well if that's the case, the average immigrant from Africa has a much higher rate of obtaining a degree and have a professional skill set than the average American citizen.

    Without borders there are no countries, without countries there are no laws, without laws there are no rights.....so yeah, those things have to stay.

    You can believe that your rights are endowed by a creator all you like, but thinking you have rights won't get you very far. The only rights anyone has is those they have the power to ensure. No creator is going to show up and protect your rights.....so it means f*ck all if that creator told you that you had rights.

    Countries have the power to guarantee rights to their citizens and that's the ONLY reason why any of those citizens have ANY rights.

    You expect far too much from that knuckle dragger if you think he puts any thought whatsoever into those he accuses of racism.....or anything else. It's best to just laugh at him and keep it at that.
