First of all, Gerry, your post was disrespectful. Please don't refer to someone's post as "crap" or "beyond stupid". That's against the rules. As it says, disagree all you want, but be respectful. You're the furthest thing from respectful.
Secondly,
Moden immigration took the soul out of the country. People dont build strong ties with people who are very different from them.
Really??? Because the Jews from Eastern Europe or Russia were so similar to the Irish or the Southern Italians? Remove those retro rose-colored glasses of yours.
