I couldn't agree with you more on the problem of so-called legal immigration. It's not just the criminal invaders that are ruining America but those incapable of functioning in a free republic. But, no, it's not just my "narrow-minded, intolerant" viewpoint that's less than welcoming to these third-world types. Carefully read what President Calvin Coolidge (a favorite of President Ronald Reagan) had to say on the matter of selective immigration:
American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.
It's well past time that America put up this sign:
In that whole huge diatribe, which is hogwash,,guess how many times the word “illegal” is used?
The download pdf is 11 pages long, counting citations.
The word “illegal is used”.....twice.
Here’s where:
“Second, the partisan impact of immigration is relatively uniform throughout the country— from California to Texas to Florida — even though local Republican parties have taken different positions on illegal immigration. The decline does not seem to vary with the local Republican Party’s position on illegal immigration. “
That’s it.
Partisan impact of immigration? (author’s words)
“Unless the GOP makes reducing LEGAL IMMIGRATION a legislative objective, it will be the permanent majority party, and more importantly, the country will be transformed into a socialist hellhole.”
We are being swarmed by Undocumented Dimocrats, the invasion being aided and abetted by Republican “leadership.”
Hold to the fire the feet of Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, McMorris-Rodgers, Ryan, Goodlatte, and your own representative. This is the most important issue facing us—we either keep our country or we give it away.
The Republican Party isn't about economic success of US citizens anymore. It's about enhancing the power and assets of the global elite.
Little hope for GOP on immigrants, study shows; legalization won’t change wave

After President Obama won re-election in 2012 and collected 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, some Republican political consultants and party leaders said they needed to adjust their stance on immigration to win over those voters.
An influx of immigrants has boosted the Democratic Party, and that trend is set to continue. Even in places where Republicans support legalization of illegal immigrants, the party hasn’t been able to stem those changes, according to a study being released Tuesday.
James Gimpel, a professor at the University of Maryland, said in a report being released by the Center for Immigration Studies that many of those in the recent wave of immigrants trail native-born Americans on education and skills and favor a broader scope for government action, which makes them “ideal recruits for the Democratic Party.”
