In reply to: Dr. Shannon 's message, " The most common argument "Your ancestors came here too"" on 10:57:20 10/23/18 Tue

Suppose, you're a 43 year old man.
You've always dealt with migrants flooding into your community.

But, after witnessing it for decades; it finally becomes a major issue.
So, you leave a brief comment (on social media) expressing those concerns.
Then suddenly;
someone from cyberspace tells him that "his ancestors came here during the great migration".

So, two anonymous people are now debating this lame subject.

Part 2:
But, the pro-migration troll didn't expect the following answer:
"How do YOU know my ancestors came from the Great Migration?".

--- "we're just a couple of anonymous guys chatting on the internet."
--- "We've never even established who we are; or where we're from".
--- "You don't know anything whatsoever about my history".
--- "You don't even know my ethnicity or nationality".

Part 3:
It's assumed by default that our lineage can be traced to Ellis Island.
Why is that?

The reason is simple:
massive immigration in the late 19th century was so severe that it created a new super-majority.

So, in a sense;
it's correct to assume that somebody's ancestors came-to-America in the late 19th Century.
Endless waves of mass immigration has already threatened to displace Citizens in the past.
Yes! It's already happened.
Luckily; ancestors from "The Great Migration" assimilated quickly into their adopted new home.
They were different immigrants back then.

Conclusion:
If you don't think it's possible for immigrants to become the new super-majority;
just remember that it's already happened before.
So many people came to USA during the "Great Migration"; that most Americans became its descendants.

In the 1970's;
If you asked anyone their ethnicity: very few of them are of Anglo-American heritage.
In other words; mass immigration displaced the Founding stock.

Although, all Pan-Europeans became one united group; it was still a dangerous social experiment.

Over a hundred years later; non-European waves of migrants are blatantly hostile toward us.
therefore, you cannot make a comparison between now and then.
