Sure they've changed. But the REASONS people come - haven't. <shrug>

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - Kung fu Monkey
My dad was born in this country and was told to leave by to Old polish immigarnt couple on a trolley in Chicago because he was a jew. The store fronts had sighns No DOgs followed by No Jews. Spare me the ethnic handwringing

Are you calling me out as bigoted CHF ? Cause I'm nothing like that guy.
Of course I'm not. I'm just pointing out that signs still exist. Now we HAVE progressed in that we don't see them in store windows, but the overall mindset still exists. We've just changed which groups we don't want let in.

Some poeple want them all thrown out. I don't agree. I also don't agree that we should just make it so anyone can come and stay.

Perfectly reasonable. Again, I see some solution as needing to come from
a. making legal process easier
b. prosecuting those who hire illegals.
That would actually solve something and wouldn't be just an insanely expensive bandaid like building walls and minefields.
I don't think open borders is a real solution either.

Then we agree on all points....
The only thing I would add is I would also like to tighten border security.
Ignorance is those who disparage believers....12 They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD—the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
