okay, okay i can work with that...how about Chow Yun-Fat as J.R. and Aishwary Rai as
Sue Ellen...

"According to DFW International Community Alliance, 40 percent of North Texans are new Americans (that includes immigrants and their children). In the Dallas area, that number is upped to 50 percent. And they’re from all over: Afghanistan to Argentina, Bolivia to Bosnia, Cambodia to Cuba … well, you get the idea."

No wonder I feel as though I went to sleep in an American city one night, and awakened in a foreign third world country the next morning... I DID. But I never left the US; I never even left my neighborhood.

I just feel so privileged to be able to experience the language, culture and values of third world countries without all the hassels of international travel; all I have to do is take a ride across town to enjoy barbaric third world conditions.

Yeah, third world momentum and overpopulation composed of incompatible cultures and insurmountable language barriers is great for tourism, so let's invite more of it.

BTW - the 2000 census for the DFW area placed the population at around 4 million. NCTCG projected the area population will hit 9.5 million by 2015. 80% of the population increase is coming from international immigration. The reports indicate an additional 2 million jobs will be added during the same time frame. So, what are the other 3.5 million third world immigrants going to do for income? And, considering Dallas traffic is such that we can hardly get across the street due to traffic today, how are we going to function when the number of cars on the road more than doubles??? And the water shortages we have already been experiencing over the past few years - when the population is more than doubled, what are we going to be doing for water???

I think I agree with people in the other set of Census statistics that indicate native-born Americans are moving out of the DFW area in droves. It's time for this American to begin making plans to move out of this DFW area being innundated by third world momentum, and move back to the United States.

Wow, Angry. This American will be glad when you leave the area. The fewer intolerant rednecks like you there are around, the better.

This country was built on immigration. "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". America is the greatest nation on Earth at the moment. Is it any wonder that people of other nationalities want to come here? What good will it do us to close ourselves off, to refuse entry to people who just want to (legally, I might add) make a better living? That will just encourage jealousy, spite, and even more international ridicule.

Think of it this way: America is the homecoming queen. All the nerdy countries want to date her. The more harshly she says no, the worse the nerds feel, and the more motivated they are by revenge and end up remotely triggering the sprinklers at prom.

My convoluted metaphor aside, we have to be prepared to accept immigration. If it isn't legal, it will be illegal, and I think we all know which one is harder to control.

angryamerican is just a troll. DIAF

The immigrants, legal and illegal, bring to the table two things America creates and being American destroys. We need the constant influx of those two ingredients to keep America, well, America.

The first thing the immigrants bring that Americans seem to lose somewhere between birth and puberty is faith in the American dream. Immigrants believe in the American dream. They believe that in America you can succeed if you work hard.

Americans don't have that. They believe that those that have will get, and those that don't, won't.

Immigrants come here respecting work. Again, Americans don't feel that way about work. They believe getting ahead is all about luck. Immigrants dream about getting a job. Americans dream about winning the lottery or becoming famous which will make you rich.

America will cease to be America if we leave it to just Americans.

I'd much rather see what Dallas could become at the hands "New American" immigrants than deal with more of the tired, old, douchebaggery that Dallas today.

...Maybe we'd actually have a little culture.

...And Angry American:

Where the fuck are your great-great-grandparents from?

The odds say... NOT Dallas... or the USA for that matter.

You and your opinions BELONG in a third world country. Your views don't seem to differ much from the Taliban!
