    You keep stating that as if you just found out about that and don't have any idea what it actually means.

    You want me to quote accurate crime stats from China? Can I include the government's violence against ethnic minorities?

    How about you tell us why you don't want ethnic diversity in this country?

    I appreciate ethnic diversity and welcome it.
    Its those damned weird, white libbies who are self righteous…who also despise tradition and family values.
    Wish they’d catch the next boat ride out.

    There is always a tipping point with the number diversity a country can take without imploding. But yes, diversity must be slowly assimilated into the fabric of a nation for it to work. Otherwise it's nothing more than an invasion.

    China, Japan and Russia have NO SUCH concerns... not like we do.

    A nation without an identity is fragile and easily torn apart.
    The libbies enjoy pulling at the seams.

    They already destroyed Europe and the U.S is on it's way too. I applaud China, Japan and Russia for keeping their identity, even if they are slow to diversify their population. At least they are far safer that we are.

    Right now we're getting invaded, and that's what Biden wants for these other nations to endure.

    Biden - If you don't let countless unvetted people into your country you are xenophobic? What a freaking clown. Like open borders is something be admired? What a clown.

    That’s not identity.
    It’s just a statement about our immigration policy.

    It is amazing watching people that claim that America is exceptional who absolutely despise why America is actually different than any other country in the world: that the US was the only country in the world who utilized a (mostly) free market system for residence.

    No, it is our identity. There is a reason that the most common symbol associated with the US contains the words "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

    Those didn't end up on there accidentally. In fact, that is the "tradition" of this country.

    You don’t know much about culture and its impact on a nations identity.
    Welcoming immigrants is one thing…assimilation is difficult when we can’t decide who we want to be as a country.
    Multiculturalism is complicated.

    As well as this:
    It's both. Our identity is the result of our history of welcoming immigrants. Also from President Reagan:
    “I received a letter just before I left office from a man. I don’t know why he chose to write it, but I’m glad he did. He wrote that you can go to live in France, but you can’t become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Italy, but you can’t become a German, an Italian. He went through Turkey, Greece, Japan and other countries. but he said anyone, from any corner of the world, can come to live in the United States and become an American.

    You would probably be shocked by how different places in this country were, culturally, in history. There were foreign language news sources in what would become original US territory by 1739. For example, about 10% of US citizens in the late 18th century primarily spoke German. There is a reason that there is no official language in the Constitution.

    Free markets are complicated. That is why they work better than central planning.

    In China, the govt does the murdering.

    Japan I think is definitely known as a safe country (one of the lowest crime rates in the world, in fact). I wouldn’t attribute that safety necessarily to their “Xenophobia” but rather the culture itself - or at least how it’s evolved post WW2. Modern American culture is violent and depraved, Xenophobia is not additive to safety.

    Incredibly xenophobic MAGAts call out a Dem president for branding other countries xenophobic as an insult.

    Sometimes I wish you all could hear yourselves.
