https://news.gallup.com/poll/1660/immigration.aspx

A majority want immigration to be kept at it's present level (importing several million per year) OR for levels to be increased. 80% of immigrants to the US are non-white.

75% of Americans think immigration is a good thing. I mean what did you expect? 99% of Americans can trace their ancestry to immigrants lol.

Its a geographical issue, They are a great ally for where they are located.

I don't doubt that Israel has some strategic value due to their location, however, I want to see evidence that this value justifies the billions of dollars in aid that they receive from the US.

US has many allies all over the world, a lot of them have good strategic value. But they don't receive billions from US.

The poll is not a legitimate one. It did not ask, specifically, whether Americans want non-white immigrants. If it had phrased it properly, I am sure most Americans would vote no.

I mean they are really the only country in the region that we see eye to eye on pretty much everything.

You keep saying how great Israel is and I am not necessarily disagreeing with that. But you haven't shown how this greatness justifies the billions in aid.

im not saying they are great, im saying that even though they are jewish, from a religious stand point we are much closer to them rather than muslims. They also dont think its ok to throw gay people off the roof buildings.

Im not 100% for giving them free money in aid, Im just trying to explain why its them and not anyone else in that region.

You wouldn't really assimilate well in this country so it's good that you're Canadian. You fundamentally don't understand Americans. We LOVE our immigrants down here...we just have a problem with illegal ones because we view it as a fairness issue (why should the Mexican come here illegally and reap the benefits while the one from India waited in line?)

No, only you, lefties, and a few confused Americans love non-white immigrants. Most Americans don't want them.
