Walker and Santorum are the only candidates who want to reduce legal immigration. That puts them heads and shoulders above the rest.

Our biggest problem is legal immigration.

Never trust a flip flopper. You know this South. He was mealymouthed at best on immigration back when he was Mr. Unionbuster. He has USCOC backing. He WILL turn.

If it wasn’t for his Immigration crap, I’d put him on the list. As it is, nope.

I’ve been saying Christie is a Democrat poser.
He’s a typical Jersey asshat politician.

Look in the mirror. We have just had the two largest decades of LEGAL IMMIGRATION in American history. Since 1990 over 30 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS have entered this country, 87% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG. We could stop illegal immigration completely and this country will still be lost. Demography is destiny.

FYI: 40% of the illegals came here legally and overstayed their visas. Securing the border only solves part of the problem.

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. In 1970 we had 9.7 foreign born; today it is 41 million.

I don’t need a mirror. you need perspective. The problem is the Dems and republicans abusing the system to feed their cronies, not legal immigrants. Do you blame a dog for crapping on the floor when his owners let him too?

Tammany Hall might have an opening though if your looking for a job.

I assume he is going to remove all the locks from his doors and leave the keys in his car when he parks it.

We have a surplus of labor. If there was a shortage, wages would be going up, not down. We cannot continue to import 1.1 million legal immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers annually while we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. Immigrants are taking American jobs and depressing wages. Both parties have abandoned the American worker to placate their corporate paymasters. The American middle class is being destroyed.

Do you blame a dog for crapping on the floor when his owners let him too?

I blame the voters who keep these people in office. The politicians play on the ignorance and stupidity of the voters whom they manipulate. If Americans, including you, would become better informed, they would understand that the peril we are in.

I am and I was long before your charts came out. The problem begins and ends with the people either ignoring or manipulating the laws on the books. Including the laws making American employment an attractive nusence.

Category error. Look it up.

Monumentally wrong. The problem with legal immigration are the laws. We are taking in too many LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. The quotas are too high and we have a kinship based immigration system rather than a merit based one.

The problem with illegal immigration is the failure to enforce existing laws. However, in order to ccorrect the problems with legal immigration, we must change the laws. It has very little to do with ignoring or manipulating the laws. Get informed.

And pray tell who is making and abusing the laws made? The legal immigrant or the pol that gamed they system to use slave labor?

I’m not monumentally wrong. I’m addressing the correct problem.

You tub of lard.

We, the American People, shouldn’t constantly be forced to show our papers and I.D. everywhere we go.

Screw Mexico and build the damn fence, fly drones, whatever.

Hell, I wouldn’t be opposed to mining and moats with gators...

All sarcasm of course.

The real solution is to make Mexico as prosperous as our neighbor to the north.

You don’t hear about the travesty of Canadians being forced to leave their families, friends, neighborhoods and country for a better life.

Why should Mexico, a country with vastly more resources than Canada be so abjectly poor?

Fix Mexico and families won’t be torn apart.

Put a highway on-ramp there and then shut it down with construction.

You don't seem to understand the problem. I am not accusing legal immigrants of anything. We cannot keep importing millions of mostly poor and uneducated people without it impacting on American workers and wages. Immigrants, legal and illegal use our welfare system to a greater extent than the native born. They also vote more than two to one Democrat, which will eventually make the Dems the permanent majority party.

Why are Reps allowing the importation of hundreds of thousands of future Dem voters every year? Why are we bringing in mostly minorities and Third World people who are changing the culture and demographic make-up of the country? By 2o19 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities and by 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be a minority.

I’m not monumentally wrong. I’m addressing the correct problem.

LOL. You haven't a clue. Your ignorance is only exceeded by your arrogance.
