As a former computer programmer nerd, I know the only constant is change. (That's derivative. ;-)) We can't escape it. It has given us many valuable and good gifts, as well as some not so much. On balance I've always embraced change. It's okay to be nostalgic, but if we fear and refuse to accept change, we become the causal vector for the scattacular mess we find ourselves in today. Immigrants have always been a net gain for our society. They work hard, don't consume a lot of resources and do jobs that we lazy, fat old f**ks won't do. We need immigrants. Without them, who will pick the fruit, serve the tacos, clean the ladies room? (Yes, I 've done all those things.) There are bad apples in any subset of the population, from Bernie Madoff to Charles Manson to tfg and Pinochet. We need diversity. Without it, we will stagnate, strangulate, and suffocate.

Ahhhh. You’ve restored me for the day, Pete. I love diversity. To me it represents change and what makes the world go round. I will always champion it.
