Oh well good luck with that.
No & you are spreading falsehood.

She is only saying we should have a temporary halt to our immigration system for all people.

From what I remember these people were on government assistance because they've received refugee status; correct me if I am wrong.
I am not sure that the US government is accepting people in this country who go straight on public assistance, (unless they are refugees.) If they are refugees however, we are already talking the US politics, not just economy.

Huh? Learn to read please before accusing anyone of anything.

My thought is, maybe we should consider admitting immigrants who can succeed in America, rather than deadbeats.

But we're not allowed to "discriminate" in favor of immigrants who would be good for America. Instead of helping America, our immigration policies are designed to help other countries solve their internal problems by shipping their losers to us.

The problem isn't just illegal immigration. I would rather have doctors and engineers sneaking into the country than legally arriving ditch-diggers.
Those are her ( Coulter's) words.
The rest are the thoughts and ideas of OP.

The white thing aside, I think we should only be allowing people who are skilled or are married to an American. No we shouldn't be allowing in poor unskilled people because they offer no positives to our
society.

At a time when the economy has been royally trashed by 30+ years of Republican ideology, and jobs are at a minimum, the last thing we need is to be letting in skilled, trained, college-educated people to take the few good jobs there are out there.

Which is why we shouldn't be letting most people in. I don't support visaed workers but also do not support unskilled.

Some people need to learn what the "carrying capacity" of a nation is opposed to large open unoccupied land masses. What utter fools they are not to know the difference.

Pfft.



You mean like when Saint Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986, granting automatic amnesty to millions of illegals?



Ronald Reagan on Immigration

Or how about Bush's special little plan? :



If you were better acquainted with history you would likely not come across as such a partisan hack hypocrite spreading misinformation.
Nothing but baldfaces lies! Extremists do not repesent the base of the GOP. Typical of the left to claim that though. Partisan hack hypocrite? Another lefty that can't debate without insults. Welcome to my ignore list.

I don't see the problem. The US already has rather picky immigration policies, just like most other countries. Nobody really wants unskilled, poor immigrants anymore. Those only come in the course of family reunification or because they are asylum seekers fleeing from someone or something.

The US is so big, population density is low in most parts. If politics were right and society in a better state, immigration would not be a problem at all. Immigration is mostly a mental problem, the fear of change etc. on the part of the established population.

Even terrorism is very overrated. There are millions of immigrants. There is one attack every couple of years or so. There will always be a few terrorists, we have them in Europe as well, they exist in India, in Russia, in China, everywhere...
In my view there are more nuts among the incumbent US population than among immigrants

The US is a somewhat cold country, very harsh and excessively competitive. I can understand that immigrants from certain regions and cultures feel lost in the US and start to dislike it there. One of the two brothers behind the Boston attack said he has not made friends with any Americans after 10 years in the country. That makes me wonder if there are no programs aimed at integrating immigrants into society. I guess it is important because you don't want to hurt or kill whom you like and understand.
