Keyword in all of this is LEGAL.....handwringing whiners here cannot see the difference between legal and wetbacks............
Indeed, I would take our current LEGAL system of immigration the way it is as long as all Illegal Aliens were deported or convinced to leave.
Then we can start moving the ball back to the other side after that is done by reducing the number of legal immigrants allowed in per year.
One question Liberals will NEVER answer is: “What percentage of the population can you replace with legal immigrants without having a negative effect on the dominate culture of that country”?
They will never answer that because it will expose their agenda.
Re: “I would take our current LEGAL system of immigration the way it is...”
Really?
(1) 1.25 million new LEGAL immigrants each year.
(2) 750,000 new citizens each year - 80% of them vote Democrat. Obama would have lost his 2012 reelection without the Hispanic and Asian vote.
(3) 750,000 new or renewed guest worker visas each year. Wages for “high demand” Information Technology workers have stagnated since 1998, when the H1-B visa quota was massively increased. Ted Cruz, on a You Tube video, says he wants H1-B visas increased 5 times!
