"..huddled masses......"

At one time, that phrase had a purpose behind it other than empathy for the foreign downtrodden. There was a substantive need for people from other countries that actually wanted to create a better life, expand our (America's) horizons, and to become American.

The opportunity, the wide open spaces and the hard work involved then pretty much forced self-independence of some measure. It also facilitated assimilation to American values, whether they intended so or not.

Today? In truth we don't even really need even the best of what the rest of this world's population has to offer, let alone its dregs. And, by dregs, I mean the third world sh!thole denizens for whom this country is so adamantly cultivating entry and citizenship.

Instead of H1-B visas, asylum/refugee green cards and the like, we should be instilling real education, drive for accomplishment and success for our own children so they can fulfill our future needs instead of some Muslim Terrorist or other foreigner just out to bleed our entitlement system dry.

EXackly G-man.... Ann Coulter is always bringing us back to Teddy K's immigration bill which reversed the immigration metric....we went from the letting in an overwhelming percentage of probable success stories ...i.e. engineers, entrepreneurs, financiers and businessmen etc. to and overwhelming majority of 4th world folks who, when they show up here....the first thing on their todo list is to climb into the welfare hammock then they have children and invite their relatives to come over and enjoy the same....it's terrible...the inimitable Ann covered it all here as she takes Grover Norquist to school recently...on Larry Kudlow's show:
