Because Lord knows the DR doesn't need any competent doctors to take care of its own people.

Our country is the land of opportunity. Immigrants land here seeking opportunities and a better life. The Germans did it. The Irish did it. It is strange to say we don’t like people from X countries simply because these countries lack the freedoms and/or prosperity we Americans enjoy. Or, to borrow Trump’s word, that is a “****hole” attitude that is the polar opposite of all that we hold dear as Americans.

Do you even have a base for your argument, or is your entire platform absent of facts in regard to either my writing or your immigrant argument?
A smarter person would have used a better argument ipso facto you are in the class of people who are threatened by high-achieving immigrants. It's not the doctors and lawyers who are threatened by immigrants. It's the barely-achieving types who are. And you can spot the types who are barely achieving by the way they put thoughts together.

If you democrats want someone to blame in all this you can blame yourselves.
You are the ones who set up these “protections”.
You are the ones who are selling out your fellow taxpayers for votes.
You are the ones taking advantage of those poor souls seeking a better life.
You are the ones taking monetary kickbacks and political contributions from sham outfits like catholic charities who “place” these people in a society they can’t understand.
Get off your high horse and quit your silly guilt trip.
You democrats are the new slavemasters of the modern age.
Despicable.

For every American that emmigrates to a foreign country, we will allow one immigrant from that country to come here. If no Americans want to move to Haiti, no Haitians come here.

Simple as that.

I really wish that more people realized this.

Our needs were different back then and so were job opportunities, resources, etc. We had no welfare back then either you either sank or swam. Our population numbers were much smaller. Why can't you people grasp that?

You are a fool if you believe that is what we are "threatened" by.

We are "threatened" by the violence and non-conforming culture they bring.

In many of their countries, rape and murder is treated as a "right".

Yeah, I don't want that here. If you do.....well, nuff said.

No, it is not. Americans do not believe that we should turn our country into a "sh*thole". But we do not need any immigrants from anywhere, so we don't even need to discuss criteria for choosing immigrants.
