No. We just don’t want an invasion mandated by leftists for their own power purposes. We are (well WERE) a nation of laws.

It used to be a country was taken over by an armed revolution. Now it can be taken over by an uniformed, emotion driven electorate that votes on a combination of emotion and greed.

The American Civil Literacy Test.
You have to think about some of the questions, they are not trick questions but they make you think.
Takes about 30 minutes to an hour, NO CHEATING.

Obama ridiculed the notion that immigration to America was ever orderly and rigidly enforced.

This POTUS is the most ill educated POS ever. Also, my family never ever beheaded people of another religion.

Until recently, when immigrants came to the U.S. THEY DID NOT GO ON WELFARE.

http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/presentationsandactivities/presentations/timeline/riseind/immgnts/

http://cis.org/1965ImmigrationAct-MassImmigration

Under the old system, admission largely depended upon an immigrant's country of birth. Seventy percent of all immigrant slots were allotted to natives of just three countries — United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany — and went mostly unused, while there were long waiting lists for the small number of visas available to those born in Italy, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and elsewhere in eastern and southern Europe.

The new system eliminated the various nationality criteria, supposedly putting people of all nations on an equal footing for immigration to the United States. The new legislation (P.L. 89 236; 79 Stat. 911; technically, amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952) substituted a system based primarily on family reunification and needed skills.

In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, President Johnson criticized the old policy at the signing ceremony:

“This system violates the basic principle of American democracy — the principle that values and rewards each man on the basis of his merit as a man. It has been un-American in the highest sense, because it has been untrue to the faith that brought thousands to these shores even before we were a country.” (Johnson, Lyndon B., Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1966, pp. 1037-1040.)

Despite the noble words, the architects of the 1965 law did not see it as a means of significantly changing the immigration flow — it was considered more a symbolic act, an extension of civil rights sentiments beyond our borders. Proponents repeatedly denied that the law would lead to a huge and sustained increase in the number of newcomers and become a vehicle for globalizing immigration. Many senators and representatives believed that the new, equal quotas would not be fully used by European, Asian, and Middle Eastern nations. In addition, they did not foresee the expansion of non-quota admissions (those not covered by numerical limits) under the act's strengthened provisions for family reunification.

The unexpected result has been one of the greatest waves of immigration in the nation's history — more than 18 million legal immigrants since the law's passage, over triple the number admitted during the previous 30 years, as well as uncountable millions of illegal immigrants. And the new immigrants are more likely to stay (rather than return home after a time) than those who came around the turn of the century. Moreover, this new, enlarged immigration flow came from countries in Asia and Latin America which heretofore had sent few of their sons and daughters to the United States. And finally, although the average level of education of immigrants has increased somewhat over the past 30 years, the negative gap between their education and that of native-born Americans has increased significantly, creating a mismatch between newcomers and the needs of a modern, high-tech economy.

Yo, Obozo.
There is absolutely NOTHING un-American about loving the USofA as it was founded, and being opposed to seeing it "fundamentally transformed" by those who dictatorially bring in masses of disease-ridden, vermin-infested, belligerent, non-assimilable, obnoxious, parasites on the tax-payers, illegal alien invaders --- and especially those who practice the Religion of Jihad and Caliphate with a seriual penchant for mass homicide.
Oh, and FUBO.
