'twas a leetle joke.
Depends which kinds you're talking about. Work-visa immigration that imports workers to compete with U.S. workers should stop. And mass refugee resettlements should stop -- we don't need hordes of Sudanese, Hmong, etc. who are fish out of water here, culturally baffled and economically ranging from never-to-be-self-sufficient to competing with unskilled entry level U.S. workers for jobs. From an ethical standpoint, we ought to stop letting healthcare workers immigrate from third world countries which can't afford to lose them. On the other hand, workers with specific skills that we have an economic need for should be welcomed. Other than that, immigration should be limited to people who already have a job lined up here, and have an employer and/or personal sponsor to keep them off the dole (and send them back if they go on any kind of welfare within 10 years of arrival), and to legitimate family situations (NOT the recent real or phony marriages).
"whom I am supposed to love as Christ loves the church."
Nah. Not buying it. You are a troll, and posing as a Christian... Pathetic.
Make reasonable fluency in English reading/writing/speaking a PREcondition for admission.
I'm talking ALL immigration.
Oh, O.K.
Because someone asked me to start this as a separate thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1608378/posts?page=50#50
Now, can YOU answer the question of this thread or not?
Ouch.
The usual suspects will want legal immigration stopped.
I don't. Legal immigration is how my family got here. It's what made this country GREAT.
LEGAL immigrants aren't the problem.
ILLEGAL ones are.
We need a moritorium on immigration for a while, like we've had in the past, to allow for assimilation. My first concern, however, is illegal immigration.
Just taking a headcount ; )
Up to six so far - anyone for SEVEN?

I dunno. Even that reply somehow reeked of sarcasm. Gotta go. Punching Out!
So you posted a useless vanity whose only purpose is to try and back up current leftwing open-borders propaganda?
Admit it, troll: the more FReepers who answer 'shut it all down', the happier you will be.
Then you have an excuse to lie about how most folks here think about this critical issue.
I posted a link to Anna_Z's thread she posted the day she became a citizen. She trudged through the process and America got a new awesome citizen. Those who follow the laws and procedures are the ones who really want to be Americans, not just XYZ nationality living in America.
You must be talking to someone else. I haven't asked the question.
Sorry cripplecreek - I meant my post to go to clawrence3. Have to watch where I'm clicking...
My "point" is that everytime I see "We are only against ILLEGAL immigration", I know that is not true.
