    It's pretty much the point. They can't say "we***ck" or "b****r" out loud, so they create this fantasy for the racists, sorry, I mean, the economically anxious folks out there. It's pretty amazing how Juan B****r gets free everything, but John White Victim has to pay for it all.

    So, I guess John never gets a pay raise.

    And at least we now know that Juan won't get stopped by the police.

    We could, but that would be unAmerican.

    If you think that profile is going to keep you from being hassled by CBP agents, you couldn't be more wrong.

    I'd say that immigrants from Mexico and Central America tend to be poorer (in their home countries) and that correlates with less education. For the same reason, they probably see less urgency on their kids getting college degrees.

    South American immigrants tend to be slightly more educated and see value on college degrees, so they push their children to earn one.

    Immigrants from other parts of the world probably are more educated and come to study or work to the US, hence their higher degree of education.

    The Chart does show that, Central Americans are the least educated first generation, they do make the largest gains in education, but still a little behind the typical American (understandably as you point out).

    The Japanese stats are weird, the first generation is very educated, but latter generations become less educated. Maybe kids learning to enjoy life more than just studying.

    Why are some of those guys wearing vests like the ones they give you when you get arrested and sentenced to pick up garbage from the freeways? That is not a good omen, if they ever make it to the US.

    You're going to tell me now that is a legit newscast, and that Antoine isn't an SNL character. And then I won't believe you.

    It's true. This happened in my hometown. Mofo got a bit of notoriety from it- A couple of YouTube guys made a song from his rant.

    It wasn't the rant that got me. It was the delivery. The man is ... flamboyant.

    You picked the perfect PC term to describe it. I couldn't come up with anything but "rant". I know some people who've met him (he's from a tough part of town, as geek towns go, anyway). Decent dude, but can't stay out of trouble.

    This thread title unintentionally sounds like Trump playing his version of Pokemon... "U.S. immigrants... catch them all!"

    Not US, but another country in the Americas is struggling on what to do with its growing immigrant population.

    That guy reminded me of the skit from In Living Colour, with Damon Wayans. Just like everything in the Age of Trump, whenever you think it can't be real, it turns out that it IS

    I posted this on a different thread, I will post here also.


    Maybe this should go on the immigration thread, but the mods can decide that.

    Some numbers on views by groups. (from 2015)

    And Even Latinos do not think other Latinos have a positive effect on the USA, at least not a majority.


    If you keep reading, it seems like food and music are the things that make people think in a positive while crime and economy makes people think about immigration on a negative view.

    A federal appeals court struck another blow Thursday to the Trump administration's efforts to pressure sanctuary cities, upholding a court order preventing the Justice Department from imposing conditions on grants to cities.
    The three-judge panel from the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's decision blocking the Justice Department from adding new conditions on policing grants that had required some cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
