Celebrating the ethnic diversity of America, President Barack Obama said more than two dozen foreign-born service members who became U.S. citizens at a White House ceremony on the Fourth of July are vivid reminders that the country is, and always has been, a nation of immigrants.
He said the vast range of backgrounds and experiences that made America a melting pot for more than 200 years also makes it stronger, but that the immigration system has to be retooled for the U.S. to keep its place as the greatest nation on earth.
"If we want to keep attracting the best and the brightest from beyond our shores, we're going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken," Obama said...

I’ve supported those running on the Tea Party Platform But as such it is not an organized party but the Constitution Party is http://www.constitutionparty.com/immigration/ The man who founded The Constitution Party was the Co-Founder of The Moral Majority so was the late Paul Weyrich.
The people who created this nation were the best and brightest.
If only the best and brightest were solely admitted... Zero wouldn’t be here today.
Hear, hear! Papa was a rolling stone and a pretty drunk, bigamist one at that... Thrown out of the country but a few years too late. The damage had been done.
Why do you avoid the facts about voting?
...and it has been pretty much downhill ever since...
Why do you avoid the facts about what has brought about the near collapse of this nation? This nation as much trouble as it is in could turn around fast. How? Easy. GOD told fallen nations how to be healed. Look at history in The Bible. When did nations have wicked leaders and when did they have good one? The Founding Fathers would even tell you as much likely even Jefferson who wasn't a Christian.
It was Ben Franklin who began the tradition of prayer before congress began it's day. Why? Because our nation was in serious trouble and on the verge of disbanding a few years after it was formed. You want changed votes? Start praying for changed hearts.
Well, here is your Constitution Party position on immigration.
We favor a moratorium on immigration to the United States
We favor a moratorium on immigration to the United States, except in extreme hardship cases or in other individual special circumstances, until the availability of all federal subsidies and assistance be discontinued, and proper security procedures have been instituted to protect against terrorist infiltration.
Where do they say 50 years? The conditions I posted were pretty close to theirs in the rest of their platform on immigration and I hadn't read it when I posted my reply on 83.
Now let's see if you can find the GOP Platform on immigration and securing our borders :>} Oh that's right they don't have one. LOL
Gosh, so you are against current legal immigration, or for it?
We affirm the integrity of the international borders of the United States and the Constitutional authority and duty of the federal government to guard and to protect those borders, including the regulation of the numbers and of the qualifications of immigrants into the country.
Each year approximately one million legal immigrants and almost as many illegal aliens enter the United States. These immigrants – including illegal aliens – have been made eligible for various kinds of public assistance, including housing, education, Social Security, and legal services. This unconstitutional drain on the federal Treasury is having a severe and adverse impact on our economy, increasing the cost of government at federal, state, and local levels, adding to the tax burden, and stressing the fabric of society. The mass importation of people with low standards of living threatens the wage structure of the American worker and the labor balance in our country.
We oppose the abuse of the H-1B and L-1 visa provisions of the immigration act which are displacing American workers with foreign.
We favor a moratorium on immigration to the United States, except in extreme hardship cases or in other individual special circumstances, until the availability of all federal subsidies and assistance be discontinued, and proper security procedures have been instituted to protect against terrorist infiltration.
We also insist that every individual group and/or private agency which requests the admission of an immigrant to the U.S., on whatever basis, be required to commit legally to provide housing and sustenance for such immigrants, bear full responsibility for the economic independence of the immigrants, and post appropriate bonds to seal such covenants.
The Constitution Party demands that the federal government restore immigration policies based on the practice that potential immigrants will be disqualified from admission to the U.S. if, on the grounds of health, criminality, morals, or financial dependence, they would impose an improper burden on the United States, any state, or any citizen of the United States.
We oppose the provision of welfare subsidies and other taxpayer-supported benefits to illegal aliens, and reject the practice of bestowing U.S. citizenship on children born to illegal alien parents while in this country.
We oppose any extension of amnesty to illegal aliens. We call for the use of U.S. troops to protect the states against invasion.
We oppose bilingual ballots. We insist that those who wish to take part in the electoral process and governance of this nation be required to read and comprehend basic English as a precondition of citizenship. We support English as the official language for all governmental business by the United States.
What moratorium from immigration is your party asking for?
I posted it in post 110. They don't specify measured time they specify Conditions to be met before resuming which makes a lot more sense.
So it doesn’t bother you that you are a left wing liberal, and are fighting for left wing liberal politics?
Go Abuse Yourself.... TROLL.
Well that is quite the counter to post 113.
The one that asked you, So it doesn’t bother you that you are a left wing liberal, and are fighting for left wing liberal politics?
Go somewhere and sleep it off will ya? Good Grief.
I would rather you counter a single point that I have shown you.
Then you can beg for sleep.
You don’t have a point except to Troll Threads trying to pick fights and disrupt as you have for years now. Get Lost!
Pick fights about Immigration?
Yes I want to fight about that, don’t you, you piece of liberal crap?
I stand on my history. Back in 2000 I voted Constitution Party as well as 2004, 2008, & 2012. Will I vote for Lamar Alexander? NO! I'll look for an Independent if he wins the primary. I know his history a lot better than you. I'll vote against him in the primary so a conservative can possibly win his seat.
I read, I study, I do my homework, so stop it with your stupid games.
