All good points for LEGAL Immigrants, not illegal Aliens. The left still doesn’t know the difference.
“Highly skilled and educated immigrants?” Where is THAT happening? What I see are ignorant peasants, many of them criminals in their home countries, with zero skills and a sense of entitlement. How does that benefit our society? And where are the processes that test for skills and education for immigrants? To even suggest such minimal vetting is to be called a xenophobe or worse.
Spare me the “strength in diversity” myth.
It is fair to require authorization and passing a background check to enter and remain in the United States, and it is predictable that violators of our requirements will be shipped back where they came from.
Like a valid visa granted by the criminal Obama administration which not only could have cared less that you were an ISIS sympathizer or terrorist yourself?
The controls were instituted with the idea that even current visa holders could be suspect and that they needed to go back and look at every person coming in so that we don't find out 6 months from now that a terrorist organization has pushed through 20 cells that will go nuclear when Ali Ben Jihad calls them and says Allah Akbar.
Did the authors visit DEARBORN?
Sorry, but that is WRONG.
Aliens have a right to due process while IN the United States. Once an alien leaves, there is no “due process” for re-entry.
A Visa, immigrant or non-immigrant, is a permit allowing the individual to be present in the US for a specific purpose and for a given duration. There is no inherent right to that permit and the law is more than clear on that. It does not even guarantee entry!
For example, a Green Card holder that leaves the US, commits a crime, or contracts a disease, and attempts to return CAN BE DENIED ENTRY by Customs and Border Control. IOW he has no inherit right to re-entry.
Legal Immigration, from any country whatsoever, is mostly gladly seen and accepted by the American People. Unvetted refugees, or immigration from countries where the veracity of the information provided in the visa application can not ascertained is simply stupid.
> Nations must have the ability to control their borders and our federal government must make decisions in the interest of national defense that may limit an individual’s access to the United States. But however important those responsibilities may be, they cannot override the fundamental need for due process and the rule of law in setting immigration policy. Americans — both current and prospective — deserve no less.
You’re confused.
