The United States is becoming more and more diverse

Watch this interesting video covering immigration to the US over 2 centuries. For many decades, the majority of immigrants were from Europe but watch near the end where it becomes world wide.

We still have a lot of agriculture areas but many fields are becoming new housing developments.
I live in a new development and it is very diversified.

If you come here it is easy to see that the anti immigrant folks have really nothing to fear.

Just look at all it's done for Donald Trump! He'll keep the ball rolling!

Compete on a level playing field with all those minorities and everybody? Get real.

I'm aware of when most of my ancestors crossed the Atlantic, think I spotted my Polish grandmother.

And throughout our history, it's been the most recent immigrants who were considered "undesirable."
