Before acceding to the merit of that argument, we need to remember we can always let people in LEGALLY.

Exactly! We will never run out of people who want to enter this country legally...for every invader that leaves there are 10 that want to enter the proper way...it is nonsense to think otherwise

Great News!

Foreigners are WELCOME in America when they come here LEGALLY - they are UNWELCOME in America when they come here ILLEGALLY.

It was the "white ethnics" in congress who pushed for the relaxation of immigration laws as a way to preserve the "ethnic purity" of their urban neighborhoods as blacks started moving in. Remember that Eastern and Southern Europeans were severely restricted under the laws passed in the 1920s, and these restrictions were repealed under the 1964 law.

I think too many folks bring up the 1964 law, when the real problem is LACK OF ENFORCEMENT of existing immigration laws. The illegals are here NOT because of Hart Cellar. As a matter of fact, Mexican immigration was barely regulated under the laws passed in the 1920s.

The worst you can say about Hart Cellar is that it is the very law that has allowed for a large influx of Muslims into this country. The large illegal Mexican and Central American population in this country has nothing to do with Hart Cellar.
