Today, we’d solve many problems if work permits were available and legal immigration easier…. . . for terrorists?
what a load of crap about the wait list.
I had to go back to England a couple of times to get my visa extended , and then a green card.
If illegals want to come here, and stay then the Govt should tell them that anyone here illegally will be arrested and sent back, and yes you can never come here again.
On the other hand if they go back and do this the proper way they have a chance of coming here and being here with family.
That is how you solve the immigration process and illegal problem
Yes, and in 1965 it was 4%. In 1915 there was no welfare state, no chain migration, no diversity visas, no multicultural movement.
We had an immigration time out from the early 1900s until 1965. Thats American too.
We need another time out, badly.
i favor reciprocity - as you treat us, so shall we treat you
Why don't we meet in the middle? Let's start by giving a green card to every highly productive worker a green card in return for deporting every gang member and criminal. When that is done, then let's do the same for the net taxpayers (call them the marginally productive workers) in return for the deportation of every one on public assistance. Continue working like that until you've issued green cards to all of those who are a net benefit to America while deporting all of those who are not.
You know what I hear whenever I make said suggestions? If it isn't name calling (racist! xenophobe!), then it is crickets.
For the most part, it isn't our side who is insisting on an "all or none" comprehensive approach. It is theirs.
Well, I don’t really see much difference between unlimited legal immigration and essentially unlimited illegal immigration. None of these pro-immigration folks seem to consider the cultural impact of allowing so many people from other cultures into the country. It’s not like we’re importing millions who believe in the original American ideals of liberty, independence, and morality.
Just because some of the arguments against past immigration were proven wrong, it doesn’t mean those same arguments are still wrong considering the changes in the world over the last 100 years or so. That’s faulty logic on the face of it. Things change, and America is NOT what it once was. Does anyone seriously believe the Democrats would be bending over backwards to let these folks in if the new imports believed in small government?
What’s really funny is that John Stossel seems to truly oppose big government, but on this issue, he’s actually advocating for even bigger government. The socialist clock in America isn’t going to be turned back by the importation of millions of socialists from Mexico and other points south.
What we are experiencing now is NOT immigration. It’s an invasion to fundamentally transform America. Immigration my ass.
Stossel continues on his path to libertarian kookiness and irrelevance. Less and less worth the time.
“Do it legally; just wait 130 years”?
Now Grace you sure about that?.
Like Robin Thicke’s song “Blurred Lines”
The media and Latino advocates want to keep the lines blurred with dis-information and “smoke-n-mirrors” magic.
