could you elaborate who 'the wrong kinds of people' are nowadays? and how are they doing things similar to the settlers that committed the native american genocide?


I would define "the wrong kinds of people" as people who

A: have a culture and a socialization which are incompatible with the culture and socialization of the natives, and who
B: are either unable or unwilling to assimilate.


The Natiive Americans were a society of hunter-gatherers, fundamentally incompatible with the settler's Protestant work ethos and their capitalistic, materialistic orientation. The settlers saw no reason to assimilate into the Indian's way of life, simply because they could stay away from them until they had not just the technological edge but also the numbers advantage and could proceed to decimate them.



Nowadays, I would consider the values and culture entailed in orthodox Muslim, Hindu nationalist, ultraorthodox Jewish and African tribalistic faiths as fundamentally incompatible with the values of Western Democracies. The question whether immigrants with such a background are "the wrong kinds of people" thus hinges on their willingness and ability to assimilate into our society and to embrace the culture upon which Western civilization is based.

Completely untrue


Antifa rallies:





The Betsy Ross flag Nike imbroglio.

The entire Colin Kaepernick fandom.

Less than half the candidates running for the Democrat nomination thought wearing a flag lapel pin on stage for the debates was a good idea (a national stage where every detail is thought out well in advance).

The internet is full of examples of liberlols finding the flag offensive.

In other words, your assessment is COMPLETELY untrue.

Latino immigration to the US indeed is a case where things are on the edge in my opinion. Their culture is not fundamentally incompatible with that of the US, and not all of them refuse to integrate into American society.

So my case against latino immigration rests rather on the high share of illegal border crossings, on the influx of gangs, on the economic and social burden this puts on the shoulders of american communities, and on the fact that the overall numbers are just too high.

Brazilians, portugeuse, and cubans have ideas more similar to the founding documents. They should take priority because primarily they have better community building skills.
