Some of them aren't too surprising. I knew immigrants from very poor African Countries and some other countries Trump made comments about are more likely to be well educated. I also knew immigration from Mexico has been at net zero for a few years.

1st fact: I'm not technically an immigrant (though I spent most of my formative years in Sweden). My mother is though. So I'm one of those 1 in 4.
2nd fact: Lower crime rates is not surprising. We are nothing if not a nation of assholes. 3rd fact: Immigration is going to go lower, cuz who the fuck wants to come and live with Trump as President? 4th fact: I was lucky to be raised to speak Swedish, Dutch, and English. Though my English was awful until I actually came over here. 5th fact: That's surprising. Usually it's easier to learn language young. 6th fact: Wonder if that has anything to do with Castro. 7th fact: Not surprising. Aside from being a nation of assholes, we're a nation who loves McDonalds. 8th fact: About equal rates. Not too surprising, given that the most common immigrants that republicans like are the really smart ones who'll do the work for less, or the ones who are really smart and do menial labor for low wages because they have to have something, or the ones who aren't educated, and will take whatever they're given because it's better than the hellhole they came from. 9th fact: And a lot of undocumented workers overstayed on their visas. 10th fact: Now that is surprising. bonus fact from me: If people actually cared about illegal immigrants taking people's jobs, they'd go after the businesses and people that hire them instead of the people who take the jobs.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
That moderator was in a bad mood. xD

Immigrants look and talk funny.
That's all we need to know about bloody foreigners! *from an Aussie in NZ. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
What is the point you are trying to make exactly?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.
I guess. Personally I never felt that way growing up.
