I agree there should be control on immigration, i.e. we should know who's entering and how, but there are a few logical inconsistencies that I noticed:

- If immigrants built your country, then there wasn't a country and American culture and society before they started to build it. So how could they have integrated into a culture that didn't exist yet at the time they arrived?

- Correct me if I'm wrong, but illegal immigrants in the US have by far been from Mexico and Latin America in general. Would you care to specify how exactly those are destroying America? I mean, from what I've seen, they've been pretty good at integrating into US society. Just look at this:

I found this over at: http://immigration.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000845 (not sure how accurate, but guessing it's decent) for the year 2012 of immigrants by country of origin.

1. Mexico 6,720,000
2. El Salvador 690,000
3. Guatemala 560,000
4. Honduras 360,000
5. Philippines 310,000
6. India 260,000
7. Korea 230,000
8. China 210,000
9. Ecuador 170,000
10. Vietnam 160,000

Most are, indeed, from Latin America, but the Philippines, India, Korea, China and Vietnam (aka Asian and SE Asian) countries also rank.

And how are they destroying h'America, again? Are they even failing to integrate? This narrative simply does not compute.

Didn't say they were, just citing statistics.

Junk food is destroying America much more than migrants from brown countries.

What do your anecdotal examples have to do with the questions that I asked? You do know why anecdata is flawed, right?

> America must have law and order to remain a civilization

Good thing that it already does.

And what does the economic "freeloading" on welfare have to do with the cultural destruction of a civilization? Are you sure you even know what the terms that you're using actually mean?
