Better idea: A twenty year moratorium on ALL immigration in the U.S. From everywhere.
Agree!
Close the borders to everyone, until such time as:
- the REAL unemployment rate is at an acceptable level
- the debt has been eliminated, or well on the way
- the issue of illegal aliens currently in the country has been satisfactorily resolved
- the current crop of legal aliens has assimilated, including speaking English
- there is a thorough and fool-proof vetting system in place before anything is opened up again.
These are sound reasons to close the borders and involve no targeting of any group, even though it makes perfect sense.
LEGAL immigrants who have been PROPERLY vetted and become citizens have been among our most patriotic citizens. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If we did that it would show the world that as a nation, our “love” is not necessarily unconditional.
