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.
Let me give you an AMEN!!!! I have no problem with anyone who wants to come here, work, and live the American dream. Legally.
Sure but...what the world really needs if for these so-called America lovers to stay home and create other Americas where they are.
We have enough to do right here at home attempting rather feebly to assimilate those already here (not possible with Muslims BTW) not to mention dealing with the native born America haters who live here legally and hatefully.
