He forgot to add in that congress/president/whatever hasnt changed anything because they have a fear of offending so much they wont get re-elected.

I'm not positive but I'm assuming those charts arent even including the number of ILLEGAL immigrants, as it is from the census bereau. The real numbers have to be astronomical.

I've been saying that for 6 damn years.

 

Grr, whats stupid, is that everybody is going to shake a stick at that, and be like "waaa he's hating on the immigrants"

 

Well buzz off, its the truth. This country is growning at an astranomical rate due to immigration, not to 10 year natives.

 

Great find Sirus, thanks for the post James.

I like the video’s editing. The cuts of people's distraught and concerned faces give me a sense of disgust too . Did anyone notice the chart? Immigrants and their descendants are in red, I guess that would include me. Maybe I should just leave and let the better educated and superior green alone. After all, red is bad.

You fail at watching video. The message was for a more controlled immigration, not the current floodgate process we have now.

I'm half mexican. My mother and two grandparents jumped the border and were deported a total of three times, before they were finally allowed entry.

I'm very closely related to many immigrants, and am one of the descendants, as depicted in red. There is nothing in that message about those in red being less educated, or inferior to those in the green. All the video is saying that given the current rates of immigration, this country will be populating itself at a rate that is unable to adequately sustain itself.

This video is not made to offend any immigrants, there is nothing offensive in it. There is nothing in the video saying that those that have already immigrated here need to be sent back to where they came from. Its saying that something needs to be done about those that are entering NOW, NOT those that entered in the past.

quick fix for cali:
switch to a no income tax system and raise sales tax. that way undocumented immigrants who dont pay income taxes will become less of a problem as everyone who buys anything has to pay sales tax.
but i guess that could work anywhere.
plus ppl would prolly be saving more money because buying looks less attractive. not sure how that makes us but i feel buy less equates to less needless buying and less waste. which is a good thing.
im not sure the impact on the economy it would have as far as people spending less and saving more but im sure its a good thing... less debt. thats a plus...

maybe im fucking onto something.... i should write a book and get a nobel peace prize.

Less buying would fucking ream the economy. Less buying = more saving yes, but its would start shutting manufacturers down, or atleast forcing them to lay people off due to the excess of product. Then people would start getting layed off from jobs in retail, because again they arent moving their product.

Overall, jobs would be lost, so these savings would start dwindling in those that had their jobs terminated. Unemployment = not good.

But hey, a higher sales tax would differ the illegals a bit, the problem is that A) we arent really talking illegals here, these are the actual legal ones, and B) immigrants into america are making so much more here that 10-15% is relatively nothing.
