More and more reason why we need the wall.

ESTABLISH A MORATORIUM ON ALL IMMIGRATION! (this was done in the 1930s too so it’s not a new thing)

Not one of these people ever deserved to come to our country.

They had nothing to do with the discovery, settling or creation of this nation.

Getting on a jet airplane and simply walking into a place that millions of our people struggled to create is disgusting. They have no right to it.

Forty Five years ago the Left told us we were “overpopulated” and we should abort ourselves out of existence.

Now they scream for more aliens to overrun the U.S.

It was all a lie motivated by hatred of Americans. Get rid of the Americans and replace them with people just as hostile to us.

Time to end ALL immigration into the United States.

Either that, or the nation ENDS. It’s in the terminal phases now.

agree. 1/7, almost all of whom are culturally incompatible, is insane.

the best we can hope for is a war between them, because they are not compatible with each other, and that’s really not good either.

17.1 million under the age of 18.

The number over the age of 18?

I don’t know. If that number has ever been reported, I have not seen it.

Did someone forget to mention the word “illegal”, or are those legal Americans?

More than 20 million immigrants are naturalized citizens.

In other words - voters.

750,000 immigrants become new citizens each year.

In other words - voters.

There are 17.1 million anchor babies under age 18.

In other words - future voters.

I have never seen a number for anchor babies over age 18.

In other words - voters.

Trump should declare a state of emergency and do what it takes to right this ship.

I agree with you, my wife is also a legal immigrant. Her and her family have contributed immensely to this country.

People sometimes use broad brush when it is not warented.

80% of new immigrant citizens vote for the Democrat Party.

Do you resent my comment, too?

"Not one of these people ever deserved to come to our country...Getting on a jet airplane and simply walking into a place that millions of our people struggled to create is disgusting. They have no right to it."

So...we should deport my wife of 30+ years? Deport the two kids I adopted from overseas (one served in the Army Guard, two deployments. The other was in the Marines, one deployment.) My wife raised the family while I was deployed, far more times than I can count or guess at. At one point she had two kids and a husband deployed overseas at one time. You think she never lost any sleep, or failed to pray daily for us?

"They had nothing to do with the discovery, settling or creation of this nation."

What did YOU have to do "with the discovery, settling or creation of this nation"? Is your name "Columbus"? How many log cabins did YOU build? Are YOU a "Founding Father"?

I'd like to see legal immigration reprioritized and reduced, and illegal immigration stopped entirely. But I don't think my family coming to America in 1722 makes me a better American than my wife who was naturalized in the 1980s.

Re: “How many H1B visas in 2018?”

At least 700,000. The top estimate is 1 million.

(1) Government, universities, and non-profit research labs have no H-1B quota and no reporting requirements, so no one knows the true number.

(2) Also, once an employer sponsors a H-1B for a Green Card, there is no quota and no reporting requirement.

(3) The “Optional Practical Training” (OPT) program is the new backdoor H-1B. This program is included on a standard foreign student visa. Foreign STEM graduates can work in the USA for up to 36 months. They compete directly against USA born graduates. Because the OPT renews each year, it is not clear how many OPTs are in the USA. Best estimate - 300,000.
