There were no limits on immigration into a significant number of immigrants that are coming from Asia. As a matter fact, our first immigration law was called the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Oh my God, get a grip and stop pulling the race card! We allow in 1 million legal immigrants from all over the world and most are non-whites. We aren't trying to change that just allow in those who will be a benefit to our country rather than a burden and llegal immigration is unacceptable no matter who they are.

Exactly, and that policy has nothing to do with race.

Ridiculous and non-factual remark! Why are liberals such liars?

What are you smoking? Since when have Americans become lazy? It's pretty racist of you to claim that Hispanics are superior to anyone else also. Illegal Hispanics are here working for less so the greedy employers hire them instead of an American for a fair wage. Illegal aliens whom are mostly Hispanics have taken over the building trades for the same reason not because Americans are too lazy to do those jobs. I swear every time someone lies like that in here my blood pressures goes thru the roof!

We've seen what happens to cultures when overrun by such invaders. But that's not really what you and your pals on the Left are concerned with. You see it as an opportunity to gather enough "warm bodies" so as to effect political wins through immigration and its ugly side-effect---chain migration.

We know your game and aren't going to stand by and watch like France did. It's our Country and we get to make the rules.

Fasten your seat belt. Just sayin.
I don't know where you got the idea I'm part of the left. I favor a similar stance like Israel. The USA government needs to end illegal migration and the H1B program. The Japanese point system is what should replace the current visa system with high standards that would eliminate all, but the very best.

If we wanted to stop immigration, we could. We don't want to. It isn't difficult to understand.

Now, the question is, "Who is we?"

I obviously don't mean you, or me, or even the majority. I mean the people who run the country.

The most effective way to stop illegal immigration is to penalize companies/people that employ them. The wall is just a gimmick.

Fix the illegal immigration problem - be my guest. But don't dare strut around being proud of "keeping THOSE people" out of the nation, because that means the real thing that's causing grief isn't "illegal immigration," but "brown people" or "people who are different." And we all know damn well that's the real motivator behind the right-wing outrage.
I knew it wouldn't be long until some lefty came along playing their hilarious "racism" card.


Tell me, sir, what do you say to all the Hispanics and blacks here that are against illegal immigration? Are they racist, too?


Unbelievable.

Japan is a nation of success. A nation of pride. A nation of hard-working capitalists.


Israel is a nation of success. A nation of pride. A nation for Jews to congregate and escape the overt anti-Semitism that has literally killed tens of millions of them since the beginning of time.


Its no wonder left-wingers hate those two nations so much.

And it isn't going to happen. Which was my point. "We" don't actually want to do it. We might talk about it, and act like we do, but "We" don't.

So what is the point of these threads?
