I'm in favor of legal immigration, for people that want to come to this country and pull their own weight, pay taxes, and make a net contribution to the gross national product.
That's what it was before the War on Poverty made it possible to come to this country illegally and sit on my butt and watch TV in an air-conditioned Section 8 apartment, eating the food that I got with food stamps, and make more babies to increase my subsidy.
In the 1800's, your complaints were made -- almost verbatim -- about the Irish, then the Chinese. Now, this thread started about a woman of East Indian descent winning a beauty pageant. Her father immigrated to the US 30 years ago and is a gynecologist, and she is on track to become a physician herself.
If you feel threatened by this, then you really should look at yourself and your life. Improve yourself so that you don't find yourself competing with the immigrants you consider "below" you.
