Not so fast. I've read posts on this forum against any immigration. When I shared the story of my immigrant mother (who is highly skilled, well educated and has contributed enormously to the US), a poster replied that she should have stayed in her home country and contributed there.

Make no mistake, Trump has revealed a deep-seeded belief that the doors should close to everyone.

Why don't you go back to Europe or where your ethnic roots lie? Native American's were the ones here first. Hypocrisy at its best.

They can travel to the country they reside. Their domestic arrangement is not my problem.

There were no original native Americans and coming here first (if they did) did not make them natives. The Indians migrated here just as the Europeans did. There is no hypocrisy.

What utter nonsense! So one poster reflects how Trump feels? Where has Trump ever said that he wants to end immigration altogether? Did you not hear that he wants a merit based system? He wouldn't have said that if he wanted to close the door to all immigrants.

Trump is transforming the GOP against legal immigration. Will Congress follow? - LA Times
Limiting how many immigrants we accept and where we accept them from is not being "against legal immigration ".

Thread fail.

They can volunteer to end their separation at anytime by returning home. They are not hostages here.

The Europeans slaughtered them for land and power. Tell me how they were squatters on their own land. How about the Chinese kick you out of your home and send you to a camp becuase you are a "squatter"?
