Republican Arizona state senator says US will 'look like South American countries' soon

Republican Arizona state Sen. Sylvia Allen believes the U.S. will soon "look like South American countries" because immigrants entering the U.S. and low birth rates among white people are contributing to a lack of cultural assimilation.

Speaking at a Republican Party event in Phoenixon July 15, Allen, of Snowflake, a city in Navajo County, said immigrants were inundating the U.S. — so much so that they can't learn "the principles of our country."

When I first saw the subject line, I thought he was saying the United States will soon be like a Banana Republic. I was going to log in and say it already is. Might be able to grow bananas in Louisiana soon.

She is certainly entitled to her own opinion.

Well, from my looking around in San Diego County where we live and in Tuscaloosa County Alabama were my brother and family live, I would say she is spot right on.

Both have taken a (radical change)
in the last 15 to 20 years.

What will the next 10 look like?

South America maybe?

Those communities are not America, they are a small portion of America. Regardless, our nation is a better place because of those people. I have worked and lived amongst our fellow Americans who are people of color and have been blessed to do so. I have worked with both legal and illegal immigrants and seen how good they are at their jobs. It is a shame that my fellow white Americans, many times, fail to apply themselves at the same rate as those immigrants do.

My neighbor hired an migrant worker to finish his roof. He did a terrible job, so my neighbor hired me to do it again at half the price.

I don't get it. If you think there is something inherently special or better about having more of one people around than different kinds of people, why would you want to be in America, a nation which has for several centuries prided itself on being a nation of immigrants? Maybe Sen. Allen would feel much more comfortable in a mostly monoethnic state like North Korea.

LOL! Have you ever watched Jay Leno's or Jesse Watters' street interviews of young white people? Some can't find the state they live in on the map.

True, but immigrants from Europe, not the third world.

Immigrants will inundate some areas. Not all. If you desire less diversity there are many places within the country which meet that need.

Reminds me of an interview I saw with misinformed democratic voters who couldn't identify their own party leaders.

Latinos have an incredible communication network. They know where they can get work, and housing. That's where they will go.

But immigrants from Europe already make up the base of the USA's white population, and most Europeans who are skilled know that they can live better back in Western Europe, so what is the USA doing to court European immigrants, if that is the goal? They can't all marry Donald Trump.

For those posters who say diversity is good. Did you condemn this mans chocolate city remarks? Or do you just criticize white republicans?

I don't think we need more immigrants from anywhere. We can't take care of the people that are here now, and it's not going to get any better.

An area may have jobs but the housing costs are such that most employees can’t afford to live where they work. This is true in several places.

What does this remark have to do with the OP? I mean, I guess chocolate did originally come from Mesoamerica, but other than that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If there's enough work they find a way. I once rented a two bedroom apartment to four Mexican men, two of whom had families back in Texas. All were in bed before 9 pm, up and gone before 6 am for work.
