He is correct, though. If we have LEGAL immigration only, the people of the USA can decide what type of immigrant they want t0 import. In the old days, you cold only immigrate into the US if you either (a) had a good job waiting for you, or (b) had s sponsor who would promise to ensure that you didn’t go on welfare.
With illegal immigration, the immigrants self-select; with legal, the US selects (or used to, anyway).

Did everyone get that?

Party at Dylan Matthews’ house! He leaves his doors unlocked, so everyone is invited. Help yourself to his liquor and food, because there’s enough for everybody.

He thinks that by letting everybody stay at his house, his paycheck will go up by 50 to 150 percent! Because everybody will like, chip in to make him rich or something.

The weird thing about Bernie is he says important things that make sense sometimes,and I think he means them. It’s interesting that he appears to be genuinely more interested in the plight of U.S. citizen worker than obama’s open borders policy to flood the U.S. with a permanent majority of Democrat-voting peasants.

I think Bernie also genuinely abhors crony capitalism (really simply one face of fascism) and the rape of the U.S. financial world by Wall Street criminals, whereas obama, Hillary and Warren say those things in public, but in private take hundreds of millions from them to not actually change anything.

My greatest fear?

Obama?

No, death or injury caused by a motor vehicle.

More people, from illegal immigration, legal immigration or from domestic production, increase the greatest risk in most Americans lives from age 1 to age 44: injury and death from a motor vehicle.

We need to stop immigration, legal and illegal and remove all incentives for child production such as the earned income credit.

That article is predicated upon, what is probably one of the dumbest, most short sighted opinions I have ever read!

CONGRATULATIONS! You nailed it. Shortsightedness is undoubtedly the core of LIBERAL thinking.

It's WHY a Conservative looks at a LIBERAL as having part of their brain missing... in a way, IT IS.

He said easier and faster, which means more. He also wants to legalize the lawbreakers.

Trump: I’d ‘Expedite’ Legal Immigration Process for ‘Good’ Illegals After Getting Them Out

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that after he would “get them back where they are,” he wants to “expedite” the legal immigration process for the “good” illegal immigrants in the US “of which there are many” after and that “I want people to come into the country,” provided they do so legally on Monday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

Legalizing the lawbreakers increases the total number of immigrants and it is amnesty.

You would have to change the laws to go from our current kinship system to a merit based one. And you need to reduce drastically the numbers. I have yet to hear Trump say reduce legal immigration.

"Legalizing the lawbreakers increases the total number of immigrants and it is amnesty. "

If you know of a candidate further to the right on immigration than Trump, please let me know who that is so I can vote for THEM!

Dylan Matthews is a perfect example of an education gone wasted. He makes no sense while surprisingly Sanders does on the issue of unlimited immigration.

Ain’t that a kick in the patoot. Amateur Marxist-lite versus old-line Marxist fool.

Further proof that those who believe in Marxism/communism/socialism/progressivism are butt-naked crazy.
