You're viewing a single thread.
Has anybody ever seen the movie “Gangs of New York?” That’s what I’m talking about. We know that when you have these massive ethnic enclaves forming in our country, it can sometimes lead to higher crime rates. .... things like what we’ve done over the last few years, which is have 20-25 million illegal aliens just setting up shop here with no control, no enforcement, and no real ability to police what’s going on. That is a disaster.
Worth reading the whole quote, the article goes right to it.
So now he's in favor of diversity?
He's in favor of diversity as long as you make a big deal about it with a dog whistle. Like when you tell people that your wife obviously isn't white.
I think he's more on the removing them side of things
No, he's willing to tolerate different shades of skin as long as everybody lives and speaks and votes and in every way acts how he wants.
I doubt he's that open-minded. He's one bottle of whiskey away from suggesting concentration camps for minorities and "woke" people
Massive ethnic enclaves
What does he think white Americans are? North America was doing just fine before the Europeans came.
Counting people here illegally is admittedly a challenge but Pew thinks there are about 11M undocumented immigrants from anywhere. Meanwhile there are about 60M Hispanics in the US including citizens and legal residents of which about 20M were born elsewhere.
He sounds like he's either conflating all foreign born or more likely yet just making up a scary number.
