A Huge Caravan Of Central Americans Is Headed For The US

I'll play

"In 2016, about 4.8 million Europeans lived in the United States, accounting for 11 percent of the roughly 44 million U.S. immigrants—down from 75 percent in 1960."

Considering K-12 education has declined and family core has deteriorated. What do you feel is the main difference between America and it's Western hemisphere neighbors? I would say jobs - Walmarts.

Do you think the growing Asian population (predicted to double to 14% by 2100) with uphold the standard that Europeans set? Or do you think Hispanics and Latinos working at Walmart and McDonalds is the big trick.

That's a really bad cherry pick. Obviously the high European diaspora in 1960 was a result of many them emigrating here following WW2, which left many European countries with crumbling infrastructure and limited opportunity (Europe was still in rebuild mode in 1960). Obviously as Europe eventually reached a first world standard of living over the following years, emigration into the US would decline.

Immigration has been the highest from Asia and Mexico, Central/South America over the past 50 years and the "standards Europeans have set," haven't fallen. Still the most flourishing economy in the world (and higher GDP[PPP] than every European country with a population over 5 million). Lowest murder rate in about 50 years. Still the world's destination for higher education. Here's the things we need to improve:

- No more world police bull . Cut defense spending in half or more, and spend the difference on improving education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

- Solve the addiction/opioid crisis. This is a phenomenon that had little to do with immigration and everything to do with European-descended Richard Nixon opening trade with China, resulting in European descended CEOs and business leaders chasing more profits by outsourcing that demographic's livelihood to China. European descended Ronald Reagan exacerbated the issue with tax cuts (not to mention his attack on mental health care), lessening the efficacy of social safety nets that might've helped that demographic through the US's transition into a tech-oriented service economy. This declining family structure you speak of has probably affected the white midwestern demographic the most. Sky high divorce rates. Addiction. Irreligion. The opioid epidemic is destroying those communities much the same way the crack epidemic destroyed many black communities.

Not sure what you're talking about, how does one even measure the "standard set" by large racial blocs?

To take one example, Asians coming to the US probably exceed European immigrants in educational attainment.

And if Latino-Americans were their own country, their GDP (PPP) would be about 23rd in the world, around the level of Denmark, Belgium, UK, Finland.

They're trying

Much like I'm trying to bang Sarah Underwood and Abigail Ratchford at the same time and they have about the same percent chances of success

but you don't care.

Neither does almost all of the Fox News/rightwing audience now that the election is over
