Not everyone comes from the same boat. There is no boat. We aren't being invaded. There have been "illegals" in the USA since before it WAS the USA. Anyone whose families came to this country before 1882 was UNdocumented. So that would make all their descendants "anchor babies" and anchor families. And anyone related to those UNdocumented immigrants who came over after them, chain migrants.
What's the most significant difference between those Europeans and the current batch of UNdocumented immigrants? The color of their skin and their accents, and the fact that the Europeans came over on boats, and the current batch is walking into the continent.
If you think that makes your ancestors or your next door neighbor's ancestors or your mom's hairdresser's brother-in-law's ancestors or any other white anglo ancestors better than the ones coming in from the southern border, then I have some property to sell you at the edge of the very last bit of land the Villages developer will ever build.

Let me add another dimension to the argument. I believe in diversity. It is a numbers thing. Get a goldfish bowl and put 5 goldfish in. All are happy and well-fed. Put in 5 more. Then 5 more. Eventually, they will be fighting and dying because their QUALITY of LIFE has gone DOWN. Same for humans and the limiting resources of even a resource-rich country like the US. I believe that after about 250,000 people in the US, the quality of life started dropping. That is my theory. Immigrants are NOT bad people. Any kind, even blue-eyed Europeans are just non-citizens that are decreasing the quality of life. I would be happy if everyone were mixed. It is a population thing with me. Look at ALL PROBLEMS such as global warming - all problems are population problems in their most basic form. I don't expect agreement with my theory.
