The question has come up on different threads here - we know everyone who wants all ILLEGAL immigration stopped, but who is for stopping all LEGAL immigration as well? Whether it is just for a "short" time or permanently, let me know.
Our legal immigration levels are just fine.
I wouldn't stop it, but I would lower it. And, I would substantially revise it.
Legal immigration is fine
Nope. Not stopped, but perhaps, reformed.
I may want to see them changed, but not stopped.
I say you're insane. America needs immigration, always has. It just doesn't need *illegal* immigration.
I think all immigration should be stopped until officials can get control of who is in this country and deport the illegals.
Heck no.. at that, we need to get the legal immigration laws updated as they are still full of red tape going back to the LBJ administration. There would be less illegal immigration if legal immigration was easier (and safer)..
So, basically, stopped forever then?
Controlled, legal immigration should be allowed only when it is in the best interest of the United States. The emphasis should be on the best interest of our country, not the best interest of the immigrants.
Yes, shut down legal immigration as well.

I'd rather see legal immigration doubled or tripled from current levels. I'd like to see legal immigration being higher than the current legal and illegal immigration combined.
Immigrants made this country great. I'd like to see it spread around the world and biased toward educated people who want to become Americans.
Do you think that "antiunion person" is insane?
Legal immigration should be stopped until all those here illegally are deported.
Welcome to our wonderful country. Now get a job and assimilate.
legal immigration is fine.
I would prefer some enforcement of assimilation were actively pursued.
So, that's THREE votes so far - anyone else?
"HSW"?
