"Tens of millions"? Really?

Even if we take 20 million, that's 75% of the total population of Venezuela or half of the population of Colombia. There simply are not enough people in South America for these kinds of numbers.

Chuck Schumer:

>“We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants – the Dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the Dreamers but [also] to get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here,”

Chuck Schumer, who is massively understating the number of illegals here, puts it at at least 11M. So yeah tens of millions is a realistic ballpark.

That 11M represents decades of migration. It's not getting tripled with the flip of a switch.

		Mexican heritage, yes. Mexican citizenship without US citizenship, very much no.

There are 45 million Spanish speakers in the United States - in 1950 there were effectively zero. In 1980 the US was 95% white. We've seen the largest demographic change in history in just a few decades with the trend accelerating across every white country (and now Japan) at the same time.

Trump isn't doing the world any favor because the famine that is coming due to the Iran war and second order effects such as fertilizer costs will result in an even bigger migration to the West.

		> There are 45 million Spanish speakers in the United States - in 1950 there were effectively zero. This is either a bald faced lie or demonstrates an extreme ignorance of history. There have been tons of Spanish speakers in the United States for a loooong time. Before Texas joined the United States, Spanish was an official language, as in 1837 a law was passed to ensure all laws were translated into Castilian. > Be it resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the republic of Texas, in congress assembled, That in justice to that numerous portion of our fellow citizens who understand only the Spanish language... https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth45355/m1/99/ You think all these Spanish speakers just disappeared when Texas became a state? You think there were also no Spanish speakers in the rest of the Western territories? No Spanish speakers left in the parts of Florida Spain originally conquered? No Spanish speakers left at all in the lands that became the state of California or Nevada or New Mexico? > In 1980 the US was 95% white More like 80% white. Even in the 1950s the black population was ~10%. If the black population is historically ~10%ish, how is the white population going to be 95% when we also break out other ethnicities? Strange how you're consistently overrepresenting white English speakers in your falsehoods. Interesting pattern you've got there. https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d20/tables/dt20_101.20.a... https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1950/... > The root of all western Ethnic issues are Zionists. Ah, I see now. Hunch confirmed. Makes sense about why you tend to lie in a consistent pattern.
