We haven't had any good immigrants to this country since the 1950's. The only ones that come now are leeches on our society. If you think the Muslims that are coming here have good intentions then you know nothing of the teachings of Islam.

Just wow! Are you serious? So in your opinion, everyone that immigrated over the last 65 years have been leeches on our society? Some of the things we read posted on the internet are amazing (but not in a good way)...

Agreed. The 1965 Immigration Act should have never been passed. We should have kept the national origins formula that was put in place in 1924. At the time the 1965 Immigration Act was passed, its big supporters, such as Ted Kennedy, promised the American people that it wouldn't fundamentally change the make up of this country. Well, that turned out to be a big lie. As it pertains to Muslims, I don't think anything good at all can come from Muslim immigration to the West. That religion is entirely incompatible with our way of life, and welcoming Muslims to the West will lead to nothing but increasing conflict and Islamization of the West.

Told me we should be thankful that our immigrants are coming here just for the money and our only worry seems to be the loss of the English language.
What are immigrants going to European countries going for if not the $$$?

Sounds like she is on the same page as President Obama.......these poor people only need a place to call their own!

Kind of seems we have a dumbing down of the white person! Little do they know these days.

Extreme Islam and La Raza type groups think the same. Those are the "they" I speak of.

These people feel the world took something from them.

I'll stand by that. Maybe you're not old enough to have lived through the 1950's but I am.
