Our legal immigration levels are just fine.

I may want to see them changed, but not stopped.

Legal immigration should be stopped until all those here illegally are deported.

The levels are too low if you ask me. Worse, however, is the way they are skewed to allow mexicans in before any other group on the planet.

The question has come up on different threads here...

So far, you're the only one I've seen asking this question. Repeatedly. On many threads and usually totally out of the blue.

What's your point?

Our legal immigration levels are just fine.

So, in your opinion, the Kennedy plan which discarded all reason and opened the floodgates to 1 million immigrants a year - regardless of their nation of origin, skill level, etc - is fine and dandy? 1 MILLION! How is that sustainable?

I believe that we need a moratorium on legal immigration until the borders can be secured and we can actually control who is allowed in. Until then, any immigration system is a fraud as we have no real control. Once we get thing under control, we can again start a reasonable immigration policy which puts the needs of American Citizens first - not foreigners, not foreign nations, not huge corporations who want cheap labor at American workers' expense, not politicians - but Americans first.

Kennedy promised when promoting the outrageous Immigration Act of 1965 that immigration levels were not going to change much. This was a total lie. Before the law passed, immigration levels were around 300K per year. This changed quickly to over 1,000,000 per year. This was not a sane policy when Sen. Kennedy was promoting in 1965 and it is not a sane policy now.

And this is where we're heading - not including the increase from illegal immigration.

So, I'm not against immigration or immigrants. I'm against immigration policies which do not pass the sanity test. I'm against any immigration policy that Kennedy would support.
