You don’t think this Country has immigrant ghettos?  

I was literally down in a Haitian ghetto today barely any English spoken.  

Wanting immigrants to fit in and join the rest of us isn’t Nativist.  And never have I said I wanted to stop all black or brown people from coming.  

This is a moderate restriction to allow us to catch up and allow immigrants a chance to assimilate.  

Stop living in your dream world where everything is racist unless it’s your idea.

 
Your complaint was immigrants were forming ghettos and not assimilating--unlike previous immigrants.  My point was that previous immigrants also formed ghettos and refused to assimilate.  This does not deny the fact that immigrants continue to form ghettos. It only denies the claim the new immigrants behave differently.  

Sending me a snapshot of a Haitian ghetto in Florida hardly refutes a point that was not made.

You affirmed the Immigration Act of 1924, which was founded upon racist/eugenicist theories.  Eugenics and the 1924 act were not my idea, were they?  US immigration policies until the 1960s were explicitly race and ethnically based. When you appeal to these policies as suitable for the present, you should not be surprised if people ask whether race plays a role in your immigration preference. If it does not then most people will listen as you explain why.  Asking about or pointing out the racist precedents is not the same as calling someone a racist. 

However, complaining that people call "everything" racist when we are talking about policies explicitly grounded in racist theories is just whipping up dust around the question.

I believe you have in the past associated "progressives" with racism and eugenics in the past. Wilson maybe, Margaret Sanger? Was it bad when/if they supported racist/eugenicist theories?
