Einstein moved here, too!
We've attracted the best and brightest from Europe for centuries; in exchange, each year we send them a few drugged up urbanites to buy some Parisian flats and write back to their cocktail party friends in the States about how "great" they are being treated due to their fluency in French...

I believe the rest of the world thinks the US in general, and the Conservatives in particular, are anti-immigration.
Nothing could be further from the truth. I think what most conservatives have a problem with is ILLEGAL immigration. Immigration is what made this country great. But somewhere along the line, people like Ted Kennedy changed our immigration policy to only allow the poor, uneducated and unskilled into this country, to the exclusion of nearly all others.
I work with some remarkable people who are newly minted citizens. But the one thing they all seem to have in common is that they wanted to be Americans, not Serbo-Americans or Chinese-Americans.
We need to figure out how to get people into our country who WANT to be American and contribute to what makes this country great.
All well and good, but they need to stay in the old country and try to bring Europe back to its senses...and have more babies instead of aborting them.
I for one do not want to see European nations overrun with Muslims any more than they already have.
