  1. Yeah.... When we in Europe experienced mass illegal migration by "refugees" (really a mixture of real refugees and economic migrants), we called it the refugee crisis and it was our top priority to stop it asap. And the EU did stop the main stream of migrant within a few months, luckily. Meanwhile in America you've been experiencing this level of illegal migration for decades on end and because many politicians are so crazy, they call this a "human right" and ignore what is happening. Honestly, I can't believe that there are actual refuge cities in the US that protect illegal migrants directly against the will of the central government. It's just crazy. And it is all because they are making the line between legal and illegal migration disappear. They just don't make any distinction. I really feel for you guys, because these people just can't be argued with. They don't apply logic at all. Our politicians are usually way more to the left than yours, but I'm happy they at least have the presence of mind to know the difference between legal and illegal migration and they even recognised that multiculturalism in Europe is not working and won't work.

  2. No the browning of Europe is a racist conspiracy (we're literally 95% white and the most multicultural country is Russia, not "Swedistan" or whatever western european country they're picking on). The browning of America is happening, the white population will relatively soon be a minority. And I don't care because the US is an immigrant country and there is no native population to protect anymore. The damage to them has been done long ago. An ethnicity being overrun by foreigners is only a problem when that means the native population of a particular country is replaced. Like the Native Americans in the US, Canada or South America, like Aboriginals in Australia or (if that conspiracy was true), Europeans in Europe.

  3. But Obama was one of the best presidents in terms of deporting actual illegals. He was not an open borders type of guy, even if he was an immigration proponent.

  4.  @williamcondon7729  Ethnicity is a fact. You can't "identify" as Italian when you're not. The only exception would be growing up in Italy as a foreigner and becoming a true part of the society. Then you'd be Italian despite the ethnicity discrepancy.

  5.  @williamcondon7729  Ethnicity is a factual, observable thing. You can not "identify" as an ethnicity. You either have that DNA or you don't. You also act like ethnicity is meaningless just because it changes over time, but that's nonsense. The point of ethnicity is that you have shared ancestry, wherever that ancestry may come from. And shared ancestry means shared culture and history. Ethnicity can point you directly to which culture you originated from. Every culture has their own unique mix of DNA, roughly speaking. There is no such thing as a "pure" ethnicity, nor does any ethnicity stay the same over time. Ethnicity is just a mix of DNA of many past ethnicities that have come together. There is no continuous line of one ethnicity existing unscathed forever, perhaps with the very very rare exception of some. But ethnicity is still an accurate way to denote a particular group at a particular time. Italy has several ethnicities within its borders that are considered "Italian". If you are one of those ethnicities, which is not a matter of identifying but a matter of which DNA you have, you can say you're of Italian descent. What really matters, though, is being culturally part of that identity. Only then are you a "true" Italian. To be part of a group, you have to be accepted by that group. This also is not a matter of identifying. You're Italian when the Italians accept you as such. In most of Europe the rule is to acquire citizenship and then integrate into society. Or to grow up in a country and be part of that culture. To take the example of the Jezidis in Iraq, they have stricter rules as to who is part of their society. They are more ethnicity minded people and only ethnic Jezidis are accepted to be Jezidis. They take this as far as shunning IS children that are the result of IS raping Jezidi women. In this case it is obvious that identifying as Jezidi does not make you a Jezidi. You can't enter into a cultural group without the consent of that group. Being part of a cultural identity is entirely dependent on who the culture accepts. But you're right about one thing; that culture can tell the person falsely identifying as them that that person is wrong, but they can never stop that person form being deluded... You're just missing the fact that it is a delusion.
