No one I have ever known wants to stop immigration - the word prople keep leaving out of the conversation is: ILLEGAL.
Even the statue's statement does not mean people get to sneak into the country - the statement says opportunity - not illegality. People have an opportunity here to have a new life where anything is possible. Many LEGAL IMMIGRANTS founded this country - NOT ILLEGAL ONES.
WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GET IT ..??
There are several here at FR who want "legal" immigration stopped as well.
