Note: I know that many understand something different by Creole, but the word derives from Spanish Criollo which was used to designate the Spaniards born and/or raised (verb criar) in The Americas.

This is interesting. Are you speaking largely of Central and South America? In North America, the term 'Creole' is hardly used outside of Louisiana and from where I am in the far north, the term only conjurs up images of bayous, river-side shacks, cajun cooking and mixed-folk of varying degrees of European, African and Amerindian heritage. I do however, undertand the meaning of this term with regard to South America as described here under 'Latin American Creole':

Also of course, where I am from, the term 'Colonial' is entirely different from what you've written here. There is nothing mestizo about it and on the contrary, it refers to families, by and large of English but also Dutch and German stock, whose heritage pre-dates the Revolution.
As for the original question: I have no issue with immigration here as long as those who come are of Europid stock.
