    If the US is becoming a third world country it has nothing to do with immigration reform or with immigrants coming here. Immigrants are the backbone of this nation, it's what gave it it's start in the first place. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by protecting it's culture because the US doesn't have a native culture, it's culture is made up of bits and pieces of other cultures that it gained thanks to immigration. Trying to shut that down or place blame on it is ridiculous.

    Then why does everyone complain that we are so busily exporting "American Culture" if we have none? Why do the Japanese play baseball?

    Its true! Immigrants are the backbone of our country. The chinese, for instance are quite literally part of the backbone(the soil) of our national railways. We burned through the Irish and other immigrants to fight our civil war. All we need to do to continue the tradition is revert to a society that brutally exploits cheap immigrant labor, using them as cannon fodder to fight our wars and we can once again proudly say, "Immigrants are the backbone of our nation"

    In fairness, a few of them that come to mind are other body parts.

    Depends if the US can afford hyper inflation which I pray it does. The affect it'd have on global markets would be the end game.

    I agree with you that Romania should stop all the immigration so they can keep the culture of thieving, whoring and other criminal activity alive. oh wait a minute, there is no problem, Romanian culture is expanding to whole Europe. :rolleyes:

    LOL. Are you pretending to be an American now? You are from Romania, practically the shit hole of Europe. Isn´t Dracula the only contribution of Romania to the world beside petty criminals and whores?

    we have a culture, it is THE culture or it should be. we are the melting pot of the world and society or we should be. let the world enjoy us, not hate us.
