White House floats an offer to keep legal immigration at 1 million per year
Sacramento Bee ^ | February 10, 2018 | BRIAN BENNETT

We need to go to ZERO for at least 50 years. Immigrants have taken advantage of this country and failed to assimilate. We did this between 1925 and 1965. We should do it again.

And not a single inch of the border truly secure. Some deal, huh? American citizen kids last, as usual.

Too many. Should be zero until the DACA and other illegals are put out.

This probably includes the H1Bs, etc. They need to be cut out for at least 2-5 years, the current crop sent home and then allowed on a case-by-case provable need where no American citizen can be found.

What about truly at risk Christians in the Middle East, and Jews in Europe?? Can we fill the million with those and the South Africans you mentioned? No? Why not??

The plane that crashed in that field on 911 would have drastically changed this country had it hit it’s target.

Was there really one? I saw pictures that showed no airplane parts left over- nothing.

No disrespect intended.

A lot of weird stuff happened on that day, like WTC Bldg7. And the Pentagon- no live pics or video of any plane parts.

“I have faith in Trump. He won’t sell out. He just wants to get Dems on record saying NO even with generous amnesty.”

He sweetened the pot knowing the dems won’t go for it.
If the dems vote for a wall their base raises hell, no matter what they get in return.
I think President Trump is toying with the dems the way a bored cat toys with a mouse.
I’m taking the long view and will wait to see how it plays out. He hasn’t let US down yet. Doubt if he will.

I say yes, bring them in.

I have zero problems with bringing in Christians and Jews.

If this is implemented, I will vote against Trump in 2020. Or not vote at all. 1 million scum a year infiltrating my country is not what I voted for in 2016.

No. People must assimilate. We need at least a 10 year moratorium.

Please stop making sense!

You're triggering me!

I need a safe space to discuss this in, like the TV show AM Joy, which should be named:The anti-Trump show./s

Could you please explain this option to me? This is a sincere request to have it explained to me. Please forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance.

That s what I was thinking. Just WHY do we need more people? Arizona was a nicer place to live when we had half the people. Just how will unchecked immigration - and one MILLION people a year is darn near unchecked! - make ANY state a better place to live?

Perfectly sane if the objective is to overwhelm the natives and steal their country from them.

That is the George H.W. Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

This is nothing new. It's been happening for decades.

A million are still coming in this year every year if the 1965 immigration act is not repealed or changed. Right now a million are coming in from the worst places Mexico, the middle east and the poorest most socialist most Muslim. The democrats have been importing a million non-white socialists and Muslims legally every year for decades.Trump can't rewrite laws only congress can do that .

Legally a million are coming in every year already

This is a liberal media article. Who knows what if anything Trump is planing. All I saw him write is that chain migration must end , etc. ,nothing that this articles says.

Please don’t elect McSally to replace Flake as Amnesty Senator.
AZ doesn’t have to have two.
