''Europeans excluding Russia are pretty much in the minority.''
Minority but well over one million. They take jobs, create crimes, use up social services, and fail to pay taxes like other illegals. In NYC, there are far more illegals from Russia than from Haiti. Police have been seen rounding up Haitians, kicking or clubbing them, dragging them through the streets in massive arrests. But you NEVER see the cops doing that to Russians or other Europeans in NYC.
As for Koch, he was mayor until 1988 or '89 when Reagan, who allowed in millions of illegals, was in the White House. He could have done to the Russians and Europeans what he and the cops did to Haitians. But he refused to do so and this was openly discussed back then.
And just where have the police been seen rounding up Haitians, to quote you "Police have been seen rounding up Haitians, kicking or clubbing them, dragging them through the streets in massive arrests." been taking place? Not down here where they come ashore by the hundreds and I live. It has been openly discussed many time and under many Presidents about rounding them up along with every other illegal alien, but no one has ever done anything about it to date. Koch was only referring to those in jail for some crime.
