We are indeed a nation of immigrants, with diverse ancestries. In fact, though a stereotypical American would have British ancestors who came to this continent during the 1700s if not earlier, the fact is that rather few of us fit that description.
The adventurous spirits of those who came to this country in earlier times contributed greatly to America's success. Immigration continues to add vitality to our society today. Yet conditions have changed significantly from those earlier times, and the current high rate of immigration does have its downsides, one very important class of which is the adverse impact immigration has on minorities. In particular:
Immigration adversely impacts native-born African-Americans.
Immigration adversely impacts both native-born and earlier-arriving immigrant Asian-Americans and Latino-Americans.
The sharp distinction made by many politicians and political activists between legal and illegal immigration are artificial and unwarranted. The adverse impacts on minorities are due to both legal and illegal immigration. (Except when otherwise qualified, the use of the term immigration in this report will mean both legal and illegal immigration.)
The adverse impacts are both economic and noneconomic in nature: increased job competition; lowered wages; reduced opportunities for entrepreneurs; reductions in quality of education and housing; increased exposure to disease.
Immigration is resulting in diminished attention being paid to the problems of African-Americans and other native-born minorities. As Model Minority Asian immigrants pour into the country, African-Americans are becoming the Forgotten Minority.
Much worse than U.S. natives, immigrants tend to have racist attitudes toward African-Americans. The U.S., by accepting large numbers of immigrants, is in effect importing racism.
Even activists in immigrant communities have publicly conceded that the current influx of immigrants is much higher than their communities can absorb.
Poll after poll in recent years has shown that minorities recognize these adverse impacts, and wish for relief, in the form of reduced levels of both legal and illegal immigration.

10 years ago we had Borders Books, Pets.com, and Nintendo Power. Now we have no Borders, no Pets, and no Power

The best way to combat liberalism is to address the causes of mental illness. If there were no unhealthy parental relationships, there would be no liberals.

I was watching PBS about a week ago and there was this show about a hospital in oakland; some black guy waiting for the emergency room of the hospital was being interviewed. he said he was a sherwin williams worker for most of his life, making a livable wage, but then "illegal immigrants" started to flood the area's job market, causing his wages to plummet because he couldn't compete with what they would work for and now making him enter into the beginning stages of foreclosure.
oh, and if u thought white people were racist, u ain't seen nothing yet lol (meaning non-white people are really really really racist)

Not ignoring how immigration only benefits white capitalists is the opposite of racism.

black people being racist is the worst kind of cultural appropriation
