This statement is so wrong on so many levels.

I agree...

Just a little question - if Cuba becomes capitalist one day, how will the line "if you don't like it here, go to Cuba" change? Any alternatives to Cuba so far?

North Korea ?

I think the US should allow anyone in the world that speaks English fluently, can get a job, and isn't a criminal to enter.

Freedom of movement
Immigration
More Americans
More jobs

let's delve deeper into this issue, shall we.

If you believe all humans are created equal, then you should support immigration. They have a right to try to improve their lives by coming to a better nation.

But if you are selfish, and want to keep all the wealth to yourselves, and not share it. Then you will be against immigration.

Yes I realize immigration is dragging the U.S. down to the level of the rest of the (third) world. Yes this is why Europeans and Asians are doing better at tests. They don't have to worry about immigrants who can't speak english (in their case speak their native language).

But I'm okay with that. I realize we won't be the richest nation on earth for long. But it would be selfish of me to support that.

And my town is built on illegal immigrants. We couldn't function without them.

Because Europeans have never EVER had a muslim immigrant in ANY major city.



Europeans are better off than us because their system is better. Asians aren't lazy like crackers.

european immigration problems make me laugh. They aren't nearly the level of mexican immigrants in southwest states.

Asian immigrants

In many European countries the portion of the population that are first generation immigrants is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than in the US and this will only become more pronounced since European whities have a lower birth ratethan American whities.

[Kuciwalker]

That's an interesting claim. The proportion of first-generation immigrants will increase because of low birth rates about white people?

Our illegal immigration problem would be considerably lessened by having a sensible immigration policy to begin with.

The total number of visas available world-wide to those who want to come and work in the US is only a tiny fraction of the number that are actually needed. There's no reason for someone's Salvadoran landscape crew to be working illegally; clearly, America has jobs for them, so give them some damned visas! There's no reason for Philippine nurses to pretend to be visiting relatives on a tourist visa, and then run off and get a nursing job. We need nurses! Give her a damned visa!

People take to boats, or crawl across deserts, because they know there are jobs here and also know they don't have a chance in a million of getting to those jobs legally, through the visa process. Change the process -- first and foremost, by getting congress to increase the number of visas available world-wide -- and everybody wins (except xenophobes, but who cares?).

We should have open borders
