The immigrants that came to this country before the 70's were hardworking proud people who did there best to assiliate to the american way of life. Including Sending there children to English Speaking Schools and taking night classes to learn english. These people found it imbarassing to accept Welfair or any Govt Aid.
the New immagrants come here with the sole purpose of milking the american people for every dime. They dont want to learn our Language they take every possbale cent they can get fromthe govt including out right theft. the fact remains that the united States better wake up and get its act together or were fucked.

What makes the US a superpower? Simple. Money. And lots of it. The US GDP is huge. About $11 trillion. Japan's is less than half of that. And what makes a country have a high GDP? A large population combined with aggressive capitalism and the correct social and economic institutions.
If the US population ceased to grow its economic growth rate would slow. The birthrate in many western countries is too low for population ro continue to grow. Many western european countries such as France are worried that their populations will stagnate and that their power relative to their regions and the rest of the world will thus decline. Meanwhile countries such as Australia, with the same worry, propose legislation to pay citizens for having more children in order to continue their growth. All the while, China heads toward superpower status because it has an immensely large population by which to multiply their small per capita GDP. More GDP = more tax revenue = more weapons - more power.
The United States, on the other hand, permits the immigration of 10 million or so new immigrants every decade. Without immigration, US growth would be considerably slower.
