In my opinion, the greatest single argument against legal immigration is Barack Obama.
We filled up years ago, we need to stop it, and concentrate on rebuilding our national unity and reasserting our American culture, and American identity.
This last 100 million people has really hurt the quality of physical life compared to 1970 America, and it has broken the ability of native Americans to get a grip on the growth of government and the left.
We never get a chance to catch our breath, or to deal with a stable electorate, or community, we keep getting radical laws from crime to the environment slapped on us related to dealing with this last 100 million people and the 100s of millions who are headed our way.
While we have an unemployment level above 2 or 3 percent, immigration should be restricted and we should be making sure that we’re educating enough (but not too many) kids for the most sought after jobs.
I never thought I would be happy to see my niece walk away from college but her reasons made it worthwhile. She says the college was impoverishing her and training her for a job that will be filled by a “guest worker” anyway. She figured out that Western Michigan University was creating a dependent and enriching the system that points fingers at everyone else.
She went from learning physical therapy for brain injured patients to learning tool and die making while on the job. Meanwhile she’s working part time with mentally disabled adults in an adult foster home.
Last time I checked it was a bunch of white liberals born in America and a bunch of black liberals also born in America who voted in your communist president.
Legal immigrants on the other hand, especially Asians and South Asians (like myself - legal immigrant in Canada) have been building up businesses and working, again unlike native born Americans who are looking for freebies.
...think you need to look a little closer to home for the problem than blaming legal immigrants, generally the ones who don’t bother to just run across the border actually have something to offer back to the country.
The time has come to consider ending all immigration — ALL of it, even “legal” — for a period of at least 40-50 years.
There should be very few exceptions, if any at all.
BUMP
I believe that we should reduce immigration to a manageable number, perhaps 310,000 per year, picked on the basis of economic need and nuclear family reunification.

Thanks for your article and the follow-up discussion bringing this important topic back for our consideration. Informative/educational on something that is contributing to our demise. I’m for a ban on ALL immigration for XX years. Neither party espouses that option. We are forced down immigration alley by TPTB. Thought-provoking BUMP!
