Legal immigrants should be welcomed with open arms and are a great asset to this nation. Illegals on the other hand need to have the wrath of god reigned down on them.

This article is mostly about legal immigration.
The major issue in this country is illegal immigration.
We should also be pushing for americans to take those tech and medical jobs.
Why are we doing a better job getting our children into those fields?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with LEGAL immigration. The only thing I don't like about LEGAL immigration is, when unemployment figures are high all over the US, they are still allowing Legal immigrants in.

Legal immigration has markedly helped the US. The cost of illegal immigration is killing us.

I like open spaces that include trees, clean air and water, and available food items such as mangos, pecans, and orange sherbert with pineapple swirl. Yeah, we can get that stuff now, but how about when the American population cracks the 1 billion mark? Good luck. I say we try to put that day off for as long as possible.

Maybe even legal immigrants are cheaper to employ...

+1.


We should welcome legal immigration with open arms. I personally work in IT and work with dozens of contractors from other countries. Nothing wrong with these folks coming into our country to work--it makes us better.

It's the illegals that come into our country, steal identities, take jobs from Americans, don't pay taxes, drive illegally without insurance, and leech off the system that hurt us.
