Immigration and the Changing Demographics of America

The current influx of immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa entering the US through the southern border is a notable demographic shift. This shift is driven by the relatively lower cost and ease of illegal entry into America from Africa compared to Europe. There is a concern whether America will remain the same with different inhabitants as more diverse groups enter the country. The analogy of the Turkey's fate on Thanksgiving is used to caution against the assumption that the change in demographics will not have significant consequences.
