On the one hand, we have fewer marriages and also fewer child births...

And on the other hand, we have quite a few more anchor babies being born in 49 of our 50 states than those from American couples. The future demographics are going to change drastically.

Import a few more thousand muslims, provide them citizenship, and we will have our birthrate up again.  The problem, of course, is to maintain the American culture when the majority of babies born are in cultural groups that have no desire to assimilate to our culture, but want to change our country into wherever they came from.  Do we want to follow in the footsteps of England?  Germany too, because their birthrate was not sufficient to support manufacturing, they opened the door to all kinds of immigration and the problems that came with it.  Personally, I think we need to stop murdering unborn babies, and put some strict controls on immigration for a number of years until we "set" who Americans are, and then we can open it up a little more.  But a country without borders is no country.  We need to protect ourselves, our land and our culture, from threats foreign and domestic.  I think that means putting a stop to illegal immigration.  If the first act would-be immigrants commit is breaking our laws, then, when caught, those people should be finger-printed, DNA'd and then sent out of the country, forever -- no second chances, no path to citizenship.  Babies or no babies.  If their first act is to break our laws, we don't need them.

There is a good chance that by stopping abortions, we might be able to continue our American culture without succumbing to other's cultures.

I never really could understand why somebody who wanted to immigrate to the US would not want to embrace our American culture.

What problems do England and Germany have? Germany is considered a top five country, UK is top ten. All you’re doing here is distorting facts and spreading what boils down to a racist ideology. You and Walter are two peas in a pod.

Speaking of Walter, who shakes his Stars and Stripes rattle all the time on these sorts of dog whistles lives in Japan, where he’s an immigrant, and if he’s still working is taking a job from a citizen of that country, great person to making the argument that immigrants are ruining the nation.

Please say what you need to without name calling. I removed one descriptive, name calling word. Selzer is a new member here, was invited by two different people to talk about dogs and has as much right as anyone else to have an opinion.  If we can cut the name calling and talk about opinions and facts, we will all get along much better.

Walter is now retired but did not take a job away from anyone.m that kind of thinking is odd to me.  If someone is hired, they get the job.  It happens in the U.S. all the time where tech companies hire people from other countries who are doing jobs our citizens could take if they were qualified and applied.  Given Japan’s place in the tech industry I doubt he took a job someone else could do.  I realize you don’t care for Walter’s politics but he speaks 8 languages fluently and is also very accomplished in his field.  

Current events 101. Both England and Germany have a terrible problem with immigrants not assimilating.  Read up on No Go Zones.  Their issues are part of the reason Brexit got such enormous support.

The Immigration Crisis in Europe | The Migration Wave into Europe

While 700,000 refugees wait in chaos on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the hope of reaching Europe, confusion reigns on the other side.

I am not against immigration at all.  My Grandmother emigrated to this country near the turn of the last century.  Her father had a trade (electrician) and a job lined up (working on the street cars in Cleveland, Ohio).  The family came over here shortly after the Titanic disaster (they were booked on the Titanic, but it was over booked and they agreed to a later voyage.  The family had to be immunized and had to take citizenship tests as well as learning the English language.  Her father demanded that none of the children spoke any Hungarian, so that they would learn English.  My grandmother had to re-learn Hungarian as a teenager. 

The liberals are trying to murk the waters by complaining that conservatives are against immigration which we are not.  We are against illegal immigration.  There is nothing wrong with legal immigration, however there have been times in our history where we limited it even further, in order to allow the variety of cultures here to kind of assimilate.  I think that makes sense again.  

They say we are so rotten to immigrants here, but people still want to come here.  And, in other countries, they are nice to us when we visit, some require an exit plan before we enter, but they aren't happy to see up come to dinner with their sons and daughters looking to date or to inter-marriage, not like it is in the US.  But whatever.  

Whatever you've been reading and I've been reading are obviously different.  There is a lot of criminal attacks on girls and young women in both England and Germany directly related to the surge of immigrants.  I am uncertain whether this is more racist to admit or mention this, or more racist to cover it up.  

Yes there are areas in England where there Sharia law, and you cannot even walk your dogs there.  That won't fly here.  I hope.  

Another problem with illegal immigration is that diseases that were irradicated here are coming back because the people come in without any immunizations or health clearances.  

And yet, looking at the indexes for prosperity in every conceivable category the UK and Germany are tops in the world, along with the United States and Canada, so I’m not sure how bad it can be, seems more like cherry-picking bad examples rather than looking at overall numbers that paint a more accurate picture.

You said it yourself in your PM, you’re furious with the administration over immigration policy, gee, I wonder if that could present a bias?

Germany #3 in the world, strongest economy in Europe, these dangerous, criminal immigrants sure are dragging that economy into the toilet…wait, that’s not what the numbers reflect at all, oops.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/united-kingdom

UK #8 in the world, very similar to Germany, oh and look at the indexes for heritage and cultural influence, super high, in stark contrast to immigrants eroding the very fabric of these societies. You wanted numbers, there they are, point blank.
