While immigration can and does have beneficial aspects, it seems to me that almost nobody in government understands that it can have destructive aspects as well.
Is it beneficial to have so many people from a foreign nation swarm an area, that they cannot assimilate since the community the live in has essentialy become a foreign enclave on U.S. soil?
Is it beneficial to have millions of working poor in our nation that cannot support themselves, cannot pay to educate their children, cannot pay for heathcare, cannot house feed or cloth themselves?
Is it beneficial to gourge our schools with so many children of recent immigrants, that we cannot build enough schools to house them all?
Some immigration is a great thing. What we are experiencing today is not. Stating that we need to increase the number of job related visas, and we need to increase the number of green cards that lead to citizenship, and saying that we need to provide so many legal work permits that illegal immigration is no longer necessary, raises some very serious questions.
The implaction is that we haven't seen anthing yet with regard to the flooding of this nation with foreign nationals. And if that's the case, things are going to get worse rather than better. And the destruction will be legal, sanctioned by a federal government so out of control that it can ram much more radical socialism down our throats without fear of objection from long term U.S. citizens.
You're right. France has proven it.
Why should they care? They see cheap labor, illegal votes and all the "cost" is the burden of taxpayers in ever increasing budgets for "essential government services" that can never be cut even from a 6.3% increase in one year to a 6.2% increase lest some liberal whiner, like I saw Alan Colmes actually do, complain aobut those .1% that would "suffer and maybe die".
The lack of debate about reality in this country is gone.
