He states that “abolish ice” is not something democrats would have supported in the 1990’s. Well I suppose that is true considering ice was not established until March 2003. Facts matter.

Worried about rights of women amongst newer immigrant groups; worried that fascism is more acceptable amongst newer immigrant groups (thanks to white people, THAT particular fear has been turned upside down); excited about new blood, young people with energy since Americans are not reproducing a la Europe and Russia. Excited about innovation, new ideas brought by immigrants. Positive that immigrants bring “character,” i.e. hard work, willingness to take chances.

On the whole, more excited than worried.
