This is what a country should be for: for the benefit of its own citizens and their descendants.
As for people who are not citizens of this country--admitting them should be done in so far as it benefits America, not as it benefits foreigners.
A country is not created for the benefit of foreigners, but for the benefit of its citizens.
That's what countries are for: an organization of people for their own benefit.
What this person apparently doesn't understand is that many people who adopt children from other countries do so INSTEAD of giving birth to their own children. One child = one child...no matter whether it is born here, or adopted from another country. sheesh!
If you want a child then pay the dues and procreate.
If you want to adopt, have we not American children for adoption?
Lets start with the most obvious. Aren't we a country of immigrants? Aren't the majority of Americans today, two or three generations removed from immigrant status?
Gee, I guess that unless you yourself are 100% Native American you have no business being here.
Why don't you just hop a boat back to one of the many countries your foreign immigrant ancestors came from?
It is apparent that you have "issues". No amount of arguing with you will change that. I try very hard to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but after reading your responses on this thread, I must admit to myself that I have been confronted by someone who has racist tendencies. And THAT is another understatement of the year from yours truly, chena.

I am a citizen of this country. My daughter entered this country as a citizen, not as a foreigner. As a US citizen, I am blessed by her presence in my life, as are many others in our community.
"Pay the dues and procreate"
So going to an infertility clinic is a better option than adoption, and your concern really is population control? I think I nailed it in my first response to you: It's racism, pure and simple. If your concern really were population control, you would embrace international adoption as a better option than procreation.
