Has nothing to do with your skin or culture its not that deep and your not that special for most people to think about at all. Its the insidiousness of the actions and loopholes that are used by immigrants of all races or cultures that allow themselves to thrive. While the people born here of many colors get nothing but higher taxes to pay for the services that get totally abused.
Birthright citizenship for people born here needs to end if the parents are not legit citizens.
Housing capacity laws need to be created with fire code enforcement so you cant have more people living in a house than rooms available.
All religious facilities even the white ones... need to be taxed.
No more preferential treatment for visas because your related to someone who lives here already. Everyone across the board should have to immigrate the same way with no special treatment.
Cultural celebrations and traditions. Respect everyone. Unless you have a permit keep that stuff in your own home or place of worship. EX... Indian wedding on my street = 3 1200w speakers playing Cow slaughter house noises until they leave.
Proposes multiple specific policy changes regarding citizenship, housing, taxation, and immigration procedures with economic and regulatory concerns.

If housing, healthcare, and infrastructure can’t keep up, the issue is capacity and planning—not the nationality of newcomers.

Why do you let over a million a year come in the first place? We can't afford it. Close the border to immigration. When you realize your parenting is failing you don't make more kids.
