"Great. But are the illegal immigrants?"

100% agree with ya.

Fun fact: the U.S. has about 5% of the world's population but about 20% of the world's migrant population. In other words, we're doing way more than our fair share.

So, what?

We want highly intelligent immigrants. People who are highly skilled in their field and have an international reputation can move anywhere on the planet they want. Yes, and the USA is almost always at the top of the list of places for such people to move to. (Homer Simpson moment here.)

The immigration problem in the USA, in the UK, France and now even in Germany is with immigrants that don’t have valuable skills, who don’t want to improve themselves and who refuse to integrate into their society.

Lesson for CNN:

Immigrants:

Illegal Immigrant:

[Farcesensitive]

Even legal immigrants with good skills tend to vote leftist at higher rates than the natives.

Selling our birthright isn’t worth it, we need a total immigration freeze until we finish assimilating those that are here and then much more restrictive immigration policies when the freeze is over.

Not surprising! After all they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama for doing nothing.

[Mastador1]

Kind of asinine CNN, unless you are talking about Native Americans(and fact is they were immigrants too!) I think you will find that every US Nobel prize winner was from a/or immigrant to America.

Amazing how these A$$hats continue to flail and fail in their attempt to conflate ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT to LEGAL IMMIGRANT!

So what!

[Reily]

But they were not Central American Indians who are not only illiterate in Spanish but illiterate in their native Indian dialect language. That language likely not even capable of being written!

[Sacajaweau]

Educated where?? Nationality means little.

[IronJack]

Immigrants. Not ILLEGAL "immigrants."

Too subtle a difference for the lying media to grasp.

[spintreebob]

Don’t forget non-techie Nobel Prize winners. Immigrants from ?

[minnesota_bound]

obama was a immigrant and he ‘won’ the nobel peace prize......

[dhs12345]

Exactly. And every time a new person is welcomed, there is a chance that it will be a burden on the American people. So we must consider the American people when we are allowing millions of new immigrants into our countries, states, and cities.

If a person wishes to emigrate to the US then, THEN DO IT LEGALLY, and learn the language and take the test and prove your loyalty to the United States, swear your loyalty and allegiance, and learn job skills to get a job and work, work work!!!

Remember too that when our ancestors came to the US, there were no freebies like welfare, govt assistance. They had to work hard and be self-sufficient. There were areas (enclaves) of like people who helped the new immigrant assimilate.

Important: Most if not all LEGAL IMMIGRANTS are very proud to be Americans. It is the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT who broke our laws and cut in line of everyone else that I look to with suspicion.

[Born to Conserve]

Brain drain.
Nothing new.
Americans make America great, and attract those with the smarts to come here.
Makes us smart.
Makes them smart.
Makes the counties/cultures they came from stupid.

Yea.

[Brilliant]

How many are illegal immigrants? The illegal immigration is spurring a backlash that is working to reduce the number of legal immigrants.

[MNJohnnie]

LEGAL immigrants you fascist scum pretending to be “Journalists”

[SuperLuminal]

Yep! The only logical conclusion is that Mexifornia and Minnesota will soon be able to brag about hundreds and hundreds of Nobel prize winners... (Aren't there Nobel prize categories for narcotics sales, decapitation, FGM, bomb-vest design, and forcible rape?)

[CodeToad]

Nobel is an extreme left wing organization. I have seen them pass over white Americans in favor of non-Americans.
