Just because we have had immigration in the past is no reason to have it now. Times and fortunes have changed. Let people make their own country prosperous, let them fight their wars at home, let them take care of their own, we have been doing it far too long and have received no thanks or cooperation. Do you have time to read up on current events?
Try studying history, isolationism and paranoia are the precursor of the fall of society. It is a signal of internal decay. Would like to build a wall? Study the great wall of china or Germany. The inside of these wall were in decay, not by invasion mind you but the misguided idea of land belonging to the present deserving generation. You only have what you have because of other’s toil. Again I ask what are you contributing to future generations.

Healing society is an inside job. I say step up. or shut up about someone invading “your” territory I have native American / Jewish/ welsh/ French/ and German ancestry. What part of my ancestry is the part that does not belong to America.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
