Yet another absurd right wing poll.

The US restricts immigration has for a century or more.

No one is in favor of unrestricted immigration except perhaps some lunatic fringe libertarians.

The issues deal with things like the rules and H1Bs and quotas etc. I personally would like to see tighter restrictions on H1Bs and modifications so they become free agents after a short period. I would also llike to see regulations making outsourcing of jobs difficult.

The illegal immigration issue is that we allowed to many to get in and established and have neither the resources or the will to throw them out. And if we actually put up the needed 10 of billions of dollars each year it is not certain we could actually do it. It is likely that attempting such a program will turn out to be political suicide to those in support.

We will have 400 million before you know what happened.

Leftist are devious.

I want less population growth and I want America's demographics to start returning toward the historic demographics. It's Americans' country, heritage and birthright and always will be.
People don't live forever, just because 60 million have immigrated to the US since the late 60s, doesn't mean they are all still here or still alive.

I am not sure what you mean by "historic demographics." Is this something you care to explain? As of right now, first generation immigrants make up a small percentage of the American population.

In fact, the USA has restricted immigration since 1790.

At first only white men could be citizens. Perhaps that's what the tRump lovers mean when they say MAGA.

It's too bad we can't use conservative ignorance as an energy source. It's apparently unlimited, renewable, and self-perpetuating.

LOL the population was increased by 60 million more today than would've been and made younger and higher breeding. It's a lost cause having a discussion with liberals. Watch this brief, informative video on immigration and population growth:

Not only that, but send back everyone who's grandparents weren't born here.

All immigrants must pass basic English exam and have IQ 100+.

60 million people didn't just immigrate to the US this year or in recent years. I guess I just don't understand what it is that is bothering you so much....I would like to understand what it is you are talking about.

You mentioned "historic demographics," did you wish to explain this because I don't know what historic demographics you are referring to? Also, would you want to end international travel to the US to make sure the US became an isolated country with zero immigration? Maybe you can help me understand what it is you want to see happen in the US in regards to immigration and those that have legally immigrated here in years past?

Oh good, I made the cut off, my great grandparents were immigrants....but then again, I wouldn't mind the idea of going back to Sweden if I got to bring my family with me....but then again, I do love the northwest and plan on spending my life here, so I am not sure I could ever move away.

As a native born in California.

I feel they are treated better than I am by the government.

Ive owned a large manufacturing facilitiy, worked in the film industry
and all the government has done for me is tax tax tax, regulate , regulate, regulate,

They fund, fund, fund illegals, and hb1 workers in a heart beat.

Its My Turn Now.

Go Home , You can do the same thing there as you can here,
And you'll be helping Americans in the process.
