Agreed. I’m not opposed to legal immigrants who want to come to the US, work hard, and make new lives for themselves as Americans. What I oppose is handing out citizenship to people who have come here, break our laws, and arrogantly demand to stay.
I also oppose turning the USA into Mexico North. It’s not that I’m against Mexican immigrants. I just don’t think they should make up something close to 60% of all immigrants. That’s not assimilation. That’s invasion!
Gee, I am.
Or, rather, I am in favor of a naturalization policy and process that works in the best interest of the current US citizen population.
Because of the current situation, I would not allow ANY immigration, of any kind, that could lead to citizenship for, let's say, 50 years.
Why do you accept the premise that there's something wrong with being "opposed to legal immigration"? We have had way, way too many immigrants in much too short a time, we need time to digest them.
I like the way you put it. I'm not anti-Mexican and it's not anti-Mexican to recognize the difference between legal immigration and illegal invasion.
