Not true everywhere in the US, that's why US companies are relocating overseas !!
US corporations are not willing to pay americans good wages or any benefits,that's why they prefer immigrants or illegals,it is way much cheaper than hiring a local worker

And that is why we have legal immigration and it is exactly why we need to raise our standards and not lower them.

The legal immigration process is very long and costly,that's why most immigrants choose other faster and cheaper ways

No that is why illegal immigrants who don't qualify choose to do it illegally. If they can't afford the process, how can they afford to move here? That is without becoming a burden upon our nation?

That's debatable. Your posts suggest that you live in a PC, delusional world.

The process is expensive even for the average American who has a job,if the immigrant is already wealthy ,why does he have to move to the US ? No,most immigrant,start by beeing a burden to everyone until they straighten their situation !!

It's not an issue,there is a difference between an immigrant and a refugee,their statut and conditions are different,no comparison between the 2.

How do you know that these refugees are islamists ? How can accuse the President of being a "traitor" with that crappy argument !

Maybe for our country, but many countries make sure that they protect themselves from adding a burden upon themselves.
The issue is we shouldn't be adding to our burden when we can't afford to take care of our own the way it is. We don't owe any foreigner anything, but as a nation we do owe it to our own who are in need.
How do we justify taking in 185,000 refugees when we have 150,000 homeless vets?
