Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?

    It depends a bit on how you define immigration. Is what the Spaniards and English did to the Americas immigration or something else?

    If the influx of a different culture is so big that it displaces you and your children like it did to the Native Americans, then I understand that you’d want to stop it.

      Weird place for your mind to even go.

            I could be wrong, but to me those words describe the initial phase. Once established as a society, the rest involves people moving into this society, which I would call immigration.

              More Englishmen moving to the 13 colonies, I would call immigration. More Americans pushing into Native land is imo more accurately an invasion.

                That’s how I think about it too. I guess the original description was a bit vague, what they did to the americas. It includes both. First invasion, then immigration.

                  The thing is, invasion without immigration following it might kill a lot of the original people but doesn’t displace them as a whole.
