I’m not opposed to legal immigrants who want to come to the US, work hard, and make new lives for themselves as Americans

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.

Jim Noble: “Why do you accept the premise that there’s something wrong with being “opposed to legal immigration”?”

It depends on the form that legal immigration takes. I’m not opposed to legal immigration so long as American interests are put first. I’m not saying you’re wrong. This isn’t about right or wrong. Legal immigration policy is a matter of personal opinion. However, I think your opinion is not a politically popular or pragmatic one. In other words, I don’t see legal immigration being ended for 50 years, and I wouldn’t vote for that myself.

Again, that doesn’t mean I’m right or your wrong. I’m saying we’re fighting to save the country from a mass amnesty. It’s kind of unrealistic (to say the least) to think we’re going to achieve the exact opposite: deportation of every illegal and a halt to all immigration for 50 years.
