Brown migrants are welcome with open arms, no restrictions and only upward mobility, free everything. You might be 10 or 20 years early, but eventually America will be 10% or less European and the US passport will be virtually worthless at that point. You will be living in a country where 90% of the population hates you and wants to murder you. At best Europeans will be living in Reservations somewhere in Utah, cut off from all business, imports or exports. Then you will truly be free, in your open air prison. |

If/when it hits the fan we will need people who are strong inside and out to bring sanity back to be a rock for others. So if your a coward then you should go. Wouldn't your life mean more trying to help what's around you then to run from fate?
