[quote]
Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday lamented that the “America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore” because of demographic changes in the country that she blamed on illegal and legal immigration.

“In some parts of the country it does seem like the America we know and love doesn’t exist anymore,” Ingraham continued. “Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people. And they’re changes that none of us ever voted for and most of us don’t like.

“Now much of this is related to both illegal and, in some cases, legal immigration that of course progressives love,” she added.

She's right in her take on the America as we knew it not existing anymore.

She's wrong in the sense that what has changed far more than America's demographics is the flow of the fruits of America's labors.  Less goes to workers, more goes to executives and investors.  The ever-growing income inequality in America is the main reason as to why the America I grew up in no longer exists.

This woman is full of . . . excrement.

Why are some of y'all so scared of America becoming less white? Or a majority-minority nation? You do realize minorities won't be inherently trying to kill you or force you to become second-class citizens like you force them into menial jobs and covertly deny them interviews if they have a hispanic name.

American culture won't "die out" or go extinct if there are less white people, and if you think American culture is tied to being white, you're racist. Asians, blacks, and Hispanics all celebrate fourth of july, speak English, and are religious, except sometimes they're not the same religion as white christians and sometimes they celebrate different holidays and speak different languages, and if you think that takes away from "your" culture and threatens the broader american culture and must be stopped, yeah, you're a racist and no I'm not arguing about it.

Pack your bags then and go to Russia.  Conservatives are constantly complaining and whining about how horrible America is.  They're even miserable when they have control over the whole government.

We can make something much better.

We no longer attempt to assimilate immigrants into American culture as we once did.  Such assimilation is what enabled a very diverse wave of immigrants (the Ellis Island immigrants) to become fully Americans, renouncing their home country when adopting this one.  We do this in the name of "diversity" and "tolerance" at the expense of national unity, and national unity ought never be compromised for the sake of diversity and tolerance when it comes to immigration policy.

In addition, we now have waves of Muslim immigrants (of all races) that we did not have previously.  There is a legitimate question as to whether or not Islam is compatible with belief in enumerated individual liberties as set forth in the Bill of Rights and a form of government that is a secular republic with democratic features.  It can be argued that to be a Muslim and agree with those concepts is to honor Islam in the breach and not in the observance.  I certainly believe that Sharia Law is at odds with our system of Constitutional government, and this is an issue that was not a factor in the Ellis Island wave of immigrants.  I am not advocating a "Muslim Ban", but I am advocating that prospective immigrants be screened to see if they are amenable to OUR form of government.  I do not believe that a person who aspires to see a Caliphate established is not a fit candidate for entry into America for purposes of a path to citizenship, or even residence.

LMAO, some White people are really scared that non-White people are going to subjugate them and oppress them like they did to us (non-Whites).

LOL, yet they call liberals and Democrats "snowflakes".

Muslims have been here for decades upon decades and contribute to society, culture, arts, economy, and politics and have been supportive of pluralistic democracy like any other group except for racists and xenophobes. Try again.

It doesn't scare me because I'm a minority, but why do you think non-whites can't commit racialized violence or force other groups to become second-class citizens, or won't attack American culture? Are non-whites somehow genetically indisposed to do moral wrongs?  How are whites doing in South Africa, today? Yes, they'll speak English, but everything else is up to question. The Fourth of July can be attacked as a racist dead white man's holiday, no longer worth celebrating. Political parties can be made hostile to Christianity, or even try to subvert it, with the help of non-white voters. Heck, cities can be renamed. Yes, American culture as we know it can be taken down. And if you like that culture, and non-white bodies are pushed to the forefront of the fight by Marxist agitators, then non-white bodies will be a threat to that culture.

LOL.
This racist female-dog started her program (in the very show she made these bigoted statements) by saying:
"Every once in a while, a leftist will slip-up and tell us what they really think about America."

You just cant make this sh*t up.
Is she kidding?
Good God!

I have to disagree with you here. While I certainly believe that immigrants to this country should, when obtaining citizenship, express their faith in this country and its institutions, I also think that the fears about Muslims not being in adherence to American values are unfounded. Yes, there are Islamic extremists, and yes, people who truly do wish harm upon Americans and upon our democracy should not be permitted to come here. But people who work hard, obey the law, live in peace with their neighbors, and build a life for themselves should not be harassed or discriminated against on account of their religious beliefs. The Constitution specifically bans testing people based on their religion to hold public office, and freedom of religion is one of the primary guarantees of the First Amendment. If Muslims are targeted, then other religious minorities will be as well. That would be anti-ethical to our values, and would be a reversion to some of the most horrendous abuses of our past.

Tell that to the families of people killed by undocumented immigrants who were criminals. Tell that to the family of the 1993 Long Island Rail Road massacre.

I disagree with Ingraham's stupid remarks, but there is a reason why there is cultural conflict in America right now.

American culture won't die out, but what type of values will they represent in the future? Will they disrespect our military by vandalizing military memorials? I don't see white boys doing something like that, to be honest. It definitely would have to be of some other origin.

Ingraham is an idiot, demographics will obviously occur in America, but it will be periods of racial conflict.

Ingraham's life has coincided with the existence of television so she never knew "traditional culture" in any case.
