    So immigrants are just left out in the street and have no taxpayer hotels, food, and water, cell phones? That is misinformation there. It is all over the news about migrant hotels and migrant schools. And if they do qualify as a refugee, some of them will undoubtedly well get welfare. I never said the US has a national language, but a country is not a country if it is fractured by languages. Look at Europe, look at Ethiopia, look at Somalia, look at the violence between Francophone and Anglophone factions in African countries. How many intellectual resources will you find in Spanish available online? There are whole databases of intellectual and academic information available in English. If you are assuming I am a white supremacist, let me clear up things that show how much of a straw man you are: I am not white, I am dark, and I don’t look white. Another thing, why do you insinuate my race? What’s next, you are going to assume my gender too? I never said English is the official language of the US. Even the state of Texas has no official language. You think you know more than me? You are straw man…

    Life isn’t about learning languages. You only need one good language to be productive. The languages with the most intellectual capital are Western European languages like English, German. East Asian languages like Mandarin are growing intellectual capital. Let me provide more misinformation with links. Misinformation? You be the judge.

    National Youth Gang Survey Analysis: Demographics | National Gang Center - https://nationalgangcenter.ojp.gov/survey-analysis/demographics

    Quote from National Gang Center, which is a US federal government website:

    Race/Ethnicity of Gang Members

    Respondents provided information regarding the race/ethnicity of gang members in their jurisdictions.

    >Law enforcement agencies report a greater percentage of Hispanic/Latino and African-American/black gang members compared with other race/ethnicities.
>The most recent figures provided by law enforcement are 46 percent Hispanic/Latino gang members, 35 percent African-American/black gang members, more than 11 percent white gang members, and 7 percent other race/ethnicity of gang members.

    I am not going to say migrants commit the most crimes, but that is a very narrow-minded view of the impact of immigration. It says nothing of the subsequent generations that come later on. I have been to American school. Absolutely terrible, a lot of kids are in gangs. I turn on the news about 14 year olds shooting each other. I can tell you as a grown man who reads a lot that a gang member is from a totally different culture from an uppity middle class or rich person. They provide a safe environment for kids, some of them teach theirs kids to be polite, and treat everyone with respect. Parents make sure their child devotes time to reading. In contrast to other neighborhoods, I have never seen anything like this while I was growing up. There are such things as different people. Believing everybody to be the same is quasi-religious stuff. I don’t associate with that culture and actively avoid it. As a matured person, it is just insanity. I can tell you other things about the way they think. But the politically correct theory is that white dominance is responsible for crime and poverty of the minority, in spite of evidence that Asians are very tiny and are an outlier to such a claim.
