    One US study does not prove that America's whole direction has been wrong.

    In science (such as this) it would be a gigantic blunder to accept one study to redirect America.

    It was the redirection of America's immigration policy in 1965 from race based to geography based that was a gigantic blunder. Which is why we have 30 million Mexicans in America today, or 1/4 of the entire world Mexican population.

    I don't know of a geography based restriction other than in the diversity program.

    For years, the diversity slots allocated to North and South American countries was a grand total of zero.

    Today, the diversity program allocates 9 slots to Mexicans.

    Can you cite a geography based restriction in other immigration programs?

    It's the lack of restrictions that is the problem. A politician (I forget who) said back in 1965, (paraphrasing from memory) "This doesn't mean we're going to take in a million Mexican immigrants every year." It turned out to be closer to two million Mexican immigrants some years. People dismiss slippery slope arguments out of hand, but all too often, the slippery slope becomes the reality.

    REALLY???

    You're going to use 1965 law as a reason to invalidate 2018 law when the 2018 law is NOT SIMILAR?

    The slope here is toward allowing far FEWER if your numbers are anywhere near true. Yet, you talk about some sort of slippery slope???

    I'm sorry, but none of your ideas here make any sense.

    This reminds me of a couple of scientists who say smoking isn’t harmful despite what thousands of others say. Smokers will quote them

    Except there are no studies saying diversity is good for a society, only the repeated feel-good talking points of politicians, left AND right. But they are wrong, diversity is NOT our strength.

    Perhaps you should do some studying, then, because our current immigration crisis started in 1965.

    https://cis.org/Report/HartCeller-Immigration-Act-1965

    I hope you're right, that the trend is toward allowing far fewer.

    So nothing about your evidence for 'diversity is strength' theory? Or what you meant by "repatriation?"

    That's a strange thing for a non-Christian to say - as if it is out of the ordinary for non-Christian's to be humanitarian minded!

    "Spread the Good News of eternal salvation to all corners of the globe" is Biblical. So it definitely WILL be seen as favourable in the eyes of the Judge!

    Oh right, so Trump has killed 6 million people? When the hell did that happen? You see everyone, when you start to see people saying that Trump is WORSE, not just AS BAD, but WORSE than Hitler, you know that Trump Derangement Syndrome has become a whole new disease!

    Oh, so Trump has totally abolished all refugee programs?

    What has Trump done against the elderly and children? So there hasn't been a record number of child molester arrests since Trump took office?

    There's nothing in the Bible about how tax should work in the year 2017. The Bible talks about not giving money to the rich by taking from the poor. What exactly is Trump giving to the rich that he is taking from the poor? Money?

    How has Trump destroyed healthcare and education?

    Trump is the antichrist. He is entitled to spread disease. Everything Trump touches turns brown and smelly.

    Stormy Daniels said Trump doesn't use condoms when banging porn stars.

    It is just so unfortunate if you were a normal, sane person prior to Trump's election. #Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    Sounds like Trump has touched many liberal minds.

    That's very risky.

    How is Stormy's career going these days ?

    This a wake up call. To differentiate America, a once great country, but still not too bad, from truly crap countries. To MAGA, it must be clear what make countries great and what does not.

    Examining these differences and becoming aware, is part of the process of enlightenment. As is seems many people don't know, or even care to know.

    America has fallen a long way, and there are many reasons for that. The screaming and gnashing of teeth at the pointing out of the obvious is indicative of the state.

    You're saying that it NEEDED to get out into the public?

    And where does the Diversity Visa Program fit into all of that?

    I would expect more sense than that from a 70 year old.
