Common denominator is the need for controlled immigration. There are many places in this country that don’t resemble the country we grew up in.

Amen to that.... and even the "controlled immigration" is a farce

33%+ of the population of Frisco Texas is now made up of Indian tech workers.

Frisco growth, demographic changes spark debate over diversity as officials reject "takeover" claims

Debate over Frisco's growth and changing demographics is playing out at city council meetings, as some residents raise concerns and leaders push back.

I'm tired of company owners and spokesmen saying "There is a shortage of domestic engineers"

If that is true then why is the importation of H1 workers always preceded by firing the domestic work force?

I saw this start first hand back in 2010 when our office in Plano was across the street from the HP campus on Tennison Ave; when they laid off their local workers and replaced them with H1 imports.

First the apartment complexes filled, then the homes that were sold by laid off tech workers became filled with 4-5X the number of occupants.

Doubt me?...... Go to the Costco in Frisco Texas on a Saturday and tell me you're still in the USA!

A lot of America in the medium and larger cities are like that now. There are places all over the country where I go that the demographics make sense to me places that the populations are black,white, Native American, or Mexican descent but you can tell there American. Then I go to places all over the country in the bigger cities and it looks like I’m in a totally different country. And it’s a change that has become very apparent over the last 15 years

Demographic change in cities is not just the USA, it is all over the world. When I went to the UK 3 years ago to get measured for my Shikari, I was shocked. It was not the UK I went to boarding school and spent my teenage years at. Totally different demographic where Anglo-Saxon British guys are in the minority, at least in the cities. That will change in the countryside as well as one British politician was stating that rural areas were too White and they should encourage immigrants to settle in the country. Plus welfare cash would go further.

Concentrating poverty in a school is also a terrible idea.

Oh yes. Busing was such a success!

"haven’t cracked a book because there’s no one at home to force them to….and have no one in their lives who value education." Perhaps if their parents weren't working 2-3 jobs, 60+ hours a week they would have someone at home to guide them more often?

Oh, come now. The parents of the kids I’m referring to haven’t worked a regular job in their lives. 2-3 jobs? Hilarious.

Yes and similar throughout the European cities whose governments allowed mass migration.

If you dig into the article, 39% would vote for the GOP. Of those sampled 38% voted for Trump at the last election. Which means nothing new, sample tracks with the last election.

So, guess it depends on who the sample is made of.

Now, if people do not show up at the polls then GOP might have a problem. Hate is more of a motivation to show up, hence why the incumbent President's party usually loses the midterms.

Correct me if I am wrong but the way it read to me is that within the framework of their poll a fair number of independents would have had to have said they are voting Democrat to achieve that 50%. I think that's where he's going to be in trouble: anyone who is not his MAGA base. Maybe it turns around? But it feels to me like it might not.

National polls mean nothing in the midterms… what matters are the polls in each individual district…

The POTUS seat isn’t up for grabs…

Disenfranchised R’s may still show up and vote to keep their incumbent in office…

Most political pundits agree that only about 15 seats are really up for grabs in the house… the question is how many of those can be flipped…

D’s have to flip at least 6 to become the majority…

And with all of the redistricting going on and their loss on the redistricting attempt in Virginia, that number is likely going to be closer to needing 10 or more of those in question seats to flip…

It’s certainly possible… but the probability of it happening diminishes with each state redrawing its lines…

No matter how it shakes out, I think the chances of either party having a serious lead in the house after November is very slim… whoever ends up in charge will barely be… and with the number of people on both sides that fairly regularly stand against their own party, I don’t think any vote after November will be a sure deal..

It’s well know that inner city decline and urban decay is a symptom of workaholism.

Too much work ethic is probably also the reason that Walmart locks up their makeup and has closed stores in certain areas too.

Speaking of a country with high taxation, UK this past year spent more on welfare than it took in taxes. It spent more money on those that don’t work than it took from those that do.

As Thatcher put it, eventually you run out of other people’s money.

The UK in many aspects hasn`t reformed itself. Its a run down society. Not much renewal hasn`t taken place except for the worse. The leadership has failed since post WW2 and now the results are protuding.

Yes, Big_Easy is not only deluded but is willingly so. Libfktards like B_E will forever blame some one or some thing else for cultural and generational rot. It forms a foundational element for their power and control. They use those who live in a permanent “mental state” of excuses as part of that social and political power. Most Dems and sleaze like Hakeem J., working in the shadow of BHO, live in that world. Blaming racial discrimination is not the only crutch, just an easy and common one. They are charlatan masters of gaslighting.

no.Here you can say all and preaching also..Even he.

Speakers’ Corner is a gathering place at the northeastern end of Hyde Park in London, right next to Marble Arch. Under a parliamentary resolution dated June 27, 1872 (the Royal Parks and Gardens Regulation Act), anyone may give a speech on any topic here without prior registration and, in doing so, gather passersby around them. However, signs indicate that the British monarchy and the royal family may not be the subject of a speech.
Typically, speakers stand on a box they have brought with them to speak from a slightly elevated position, which is where the term “soapboxing” comes from. These boxes are increasingly being replaced by small stepladders.
Famous figures such as Karl Marx, Lenin, and George Orwell have spoken at Speaker’s Corner.

Free speech. limited, and isolated to a corner of a park is not free speech.

The UK has no free speech and actually has no free thought. A woman was praying silently near a hospital that performed abortions. When the police asked what her silent prayers were about, that was enough. The thought police got her.

You might want to look up all the Christians that have been arrested for preaching on the streets of the U.K before trying to refute fact

I’m just razzing you so take it with a grain of salt but you named two communist and a socialist did any famous speakers preach there against those thoughts?
