An emotional appeal, but America must as a nation, exist for her own people. The fact that your ancestors succeeded in joining that nation, ought to have shifted your perspective. It is the American nation, we should serve, not the poor of humanity. Three of my four grandparents were immigrants, coming to Cincinnati during the years from 1877 to 1901. That in no way changes the fact that my duty is to the American mainstream--the America of the ethnic development that flowed from the achievements and experiences of the founding fathers. Any other approach is tantamount to an anarchy of responsibility and allegiance.

Of course, one might also point that any of the European peoples, who came here, had more in common with the founders of America than do the Mexican peasants now flooding into the land. That does not mean that the Mexicans are bad folk; it is just a recognition that we all are different--the reality that the Left denies. But one does not even need to go there to realize that America's borders should be protected; and that whether estimable or not, America must belong to her own people, not a struggling world.

To understand the considerations which should go into an American foreign policy, see Immigration & The American Future.

Pretty uppity on your part counselor, and a bit dismissive.. This problem is a scant more complex than your puff piece. But thanks for your suggestions, it is a start that at least we are addressing the problem.
