Any amount of immigration will necessarily out pace the rate or proportion of citizens being born into the country. And only duck heads care what color skin they have you ducking idiot.
People are people. Quit buying into elitist arguments to divide and conquer us all. The rich guy stealing your wealth is your enemy not a poor guy trying to survive.
