The arrival was a handful of dudes, with the wives/kids arriving months later (this was all spoken about in the local news because of its uniqueness and worries about issues with the Haitians). The extended family was years later, because hurricanes mean Mexican laborers have huge amounts of work. But because they were family they were both able to easily enter and then stay permanently.
Point being that a very minuscule amount of people is still enough to have notable effects, especially, as is always the case, when they refuse to assimilate and instead retain their own culture. And that the post's insistence on it only being "mass" paints a very different picture than reality in which a tiny number is still enough to effect.
If we go with the full 60 people, it was less than 0.05% of my town's population. A rounding error of a number that wouldn't even phase most people still could have a noticeable effect on local populations.
And the point about Race Purity was pointing out absurdity of how/when its applied, yes.
OK gotcha
I agree, but my point is that a shipment of migrants around *.5% of the population is actually mass immigration. Against the US population that would be 1.7 million migrants, and people are rightly sounding the alarm for numbers around that size or less.
For comparison, the immigration quotas before Hart-Cellar were 1-2% of the population of the migrant's race, with no chain migration. And indeed, that kept the demographics of the US stable at 90% white until the law was changed.
You clearly have numbers and definable limits to bring to the table, which is all I really wanted. Most discussions on this have none of that, just vague feeling about what is and is not bad based on emotion.
For example, 1.7 million across the US and its infinite unincorporated towns would be a literal nothing amount if spread out. Might be a a few dudes per town spread so far you'd never see them, which wouldn't even trigger a response from anyone as an issue. Wouldn't even be enough to change the demographic to anyone except an extreme Purityfag.
But in its current form, its giant clusters which then allow extreme insulation and growth, which then spread from there. Which is why people are sounding the alarm, because they can see entire Somalian towns springing up in places.
Point being, we can't just scale it back based on vague feelings of what looks bad. It has to be an extreme push back to a near zero number to have any true effect and control.
I agree, those are important points that will need to be defined as momentum picks up.
