many FR posters are opposed not just to illegal immigration but to nearly all immigration.

And I think you are exagerating.. Most on here are not opposed to legal immigration. Most just want the the current laws enforced. Most are opposed to the current amnesty bills being offered for that reason. I certainly see nothing wrong with entering legally.

While I agree that most here are not opposed to legal immigration, that is not the word I used - I said many and I used that word purposely. You do understand the difference between many and most, don't you?

That said, am I "exagerating" when I say that many posters here are opposed to even legal immigration? I don't think so. Don't you agree that there is a lot of opposition to the H1B program? That is legal immigration, isn't it? Furthermore, even on general immigration threads I note a distinct hostility by many to immigrants irrespective of their legal status. At least one other poster on this thread has agreed with me. I guess maybe we're both imagining this attitude but I doubt it.

All right, I won't quibble as to the numerical difference between "many" and "some". Also I haven't the slightest idea what H1B is. Is that the legal term for "anchor babies"? If so, The law should allow the baby and one guardian only.
