In so far as I'm aware, only Rick Santorum - among current GOP POTUS candidates - has proposed any significant changes in the immigration law. For starters, he would like a 25% reduction in numbers of legal immigrants.
As far as "immigrant" becoming "the new N-word", I tend to disagree with that. The left talks about immigrants all the time: the left's "N-word" is alien, and they refuse to use it in the phrase "illegal alien." No, they'd prefer "undocumented immigrant" to "illegal alien." The word "immigrant" should NOT be used for a trespasser or invader!
Alien doesn’t have to be a bad word though. Remember that lovable E.T.? No one would kick him out of the country.
I agree, the whole concept needs to be rethought and the #s pared way down.
What do we really need in the way of immigrants for anyway? Screw that “cheap labor” argument. Hasn’t the quest for “cheap labor” caused us enough problems?
This country now has 330 million plus untold millions here illegally. The process is loaded with fraud, $$ to marry a citizen, arranged marriages amongst immigrants here and counterparts overseas, birthright citizen (outdated rationale), family chain immigration, birth tourism. The list goes on and on. And most of them by far just crowd into cities, their own little enclaves while millions enjoy our standard of living and welfare benefits. The cities are hellholes of crime, traffic, pollution, welfare, screwed up schools and hoods, and paving over farmland and small towns as people sprawl to get the hell out.
Enough. No mas. We are running out of room. BTW, where are the “climate changers” with respect to all these foreigners coming in and contributing to consumption “man made climate change”?
