Agreed. Be much more selective but it would be foolish to shut down immigration entirely.
No it wouldn't. It's short sighted to prioritize any type of labor over social cohesiveness. If you lose social cohesion, you lose the nation and any chance of finding social satisfaction for most individuals. What point is it to live in a labor colony absent any real community?
Immigration from all corners causes political strife and social erosion.

To be fair: I'm Ok with limited LEGAL immigration but, ALL illegal aliens still need to go AND take their minor age anchor kids with them.
Yes. Time to start prioritizing our own citizens first.
It's like the airlines say...put on your oxygen mask before assisting others.

The goal is to undermine this country under the weight of debt. It ended the Roman Empire, and countless other civilizations throughout history.

Even as Rome was under attack from outside forces, it was also crumbling from within thanks to a severe financial crisis.Constant wars and overspending had significantly lightened imperial coffers, and oppressive taxation and inflation had widened the gap between rich and poor. In the hope of avoiding the taxman, many members of the wealthy classes had even fled to the countryside and set up independent fiefdoms. At the same time, the empire was rocked by a labor deficit. http://www.history.com/news/history-...-why-rome-fell

I generally support immigration but I do think we need to lessen the amount of people coming until all segments of the native born population have good employment. Millions of Americans don't work and depend on / mooch off of welfare and SS.
If we didn't have such generous welfare benefits they wouldn't be flocking here.
Just BS propaganda save for small numbers of women who arrive pregnant.
