The melting pot idea clearly benefits some groups more than others. It should come as no surprise when the groups that it does not benefit start questioning the origin of that idea and who is pushing it in the first place.

Who said anything about a melting pot? I'm not sure why you'd derail a comment that speaks to Americans that have been here for a hundred+ years, vs newcomers. There's nothing anti-melting pot about it. It reads that your true intentions are something else. Of course it's wrong to keep pummeling people who are already here with millions of new people with zero protectionism whatsoever. If you think black, hispanic, asian, and white people alike haven't been here for 100+ years and we all deserve better than we've received... well, you just don't know much about this country. And I'm glad you're tormented due to that ignorance.

False. But what would it matter if the people have not prospered alongside. I am not the USA. I am a person who writes software and likely has made half of what I would from a lot of hard work, due to competition that other countries have done a better job of keeping out for their own people.

And now with AI eliminating most programming jobs, which will happen by the way, that downward pressure on wages may mean I'm finishing up my career starting over in a new one within 5 years.

Pure stolen wealth, essentially even stolen lives from hard working Americans. We are people who studied hard, we worked hard, we played by the rules. And our lives were stolen from us. Our retribution starts now.
