What a wonderful photo. It’s like Democrats think illegals are only around to pick food, do their lawns, and serve them. From the link
North Carolina is one of the nation’s most attractive migration destinations, currently ranking third behind Florida and Texas. Averaging 374 newcomers daily, net migration—more people moving in than leaving — was responsible for 95% (573,272) of the state’s absolute population growth (604,525) between 2020 and 2024.
Thirty percent of North Carolina’s newcomers moved from abroad (182,263). And, notably, these international migrants assumed residence and drove population growth in some of the state’s major hubs of higher education, employment, research and development, sports, entertainment, and recreation.
Given ongoing restrictions on international migration and accelerating deportation of immigrants, the crucial question is this: Can North Carolina — a state in which international migration has played a critical role in growth and development — maintain its reputation as one of the best places to live and to do business in America in the future?
How many of them were legal? How many illegal/fake asylum seekers?
The answer depends on how we respond to other disruptive demographic trends we are experiencing as a nation and as a state: declining fertility, population aging, age-related mortality, and premature deaths of despair among native born Americans. If international migration is curtailed, census statistics confirm that these forces will continue to contribute to a progressive slowing of the annual rate of U.S. population growth and foreshadow absolute population decline — a historic first for our nation.
So, we have to replace Americans with foreigners with no allegiance to America? Sure sounds like Great Replacement Theory, which I was told wasn’t real.
A fair and just immigration policy is a strategic imperative for future growth and economic prosperity — in North Carolina and beyond. In reforming existing law and repealing executive orders governing immigration, the goals should be similar to those that led to the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Also referred to as the Hart-Cellar Act, the law replaced a “half-century old discriminatory national origins system; prioritized family reunification, employment, and refugee status; and opened the doors of the U.S. to non-European immigration.”
We have that: they can apply for citizenship and go through the process. They can apply for a visa, come and work for a period of time. Then go home. That’s not what Democrats want: they want to open the floodgates for people from 3rd world shitholes and others who do not want to become Americans, they want to fundamentally change America to what they came from. And be Democrat voters.
Gotta have someone pick the crops replaces we gotta have someone to pick the cotton.
may we have a chart that shows the growth of all forms of welfare from 1990 to the present day?
