I assume you mean "Legal" immigration?

Call it what you will. I think immigration is a healthy thing for this country.

Spoken like someone that lives a very long way from the Rio Grande. You don't have a clue what effects illegal immigration is having on this part of the country. Illegals in particular do not assimilate into our culture very well. There are so many of 'em, they are recreating their own little slices of Mexico here in America instead of "melting" into the American pot. In 20 years(or less) "they" will be the majority in Texas. What then?

I happen to be an illegal driver every now and then. Either I forget my wallet and have no license, or sometimes I speed and break the law. I don't really have a hard time 'assimilating' into the culture of other drivers or society in general. Where in the constitution doe's it require a new resident of this country to check their culture a the door? By moving to texas must they learn to wear a cowboy hat, chew tobacco, drive a pickup, and post dumb things on the internet? Where does the new citizen handbook say that?
