The problem is NOT immigration, illegal or otherwise. Linda Chavez is correct -- America is built on immigrants.

The problem is that affirmative action and political correctness have created a situation such that immigrants do not have to assimilate into American culture.

And the immigrants are not to blame for that wrong-headedness. Liberals (predominantly white, overeducated) and their constant America-bashing are to blame.

>>>>> .... America is built on immigrants.

That is simply not true. 85% of all US citizens were born right here in the good old USA. That 85% are all native Americans.

The problem today is centered around open borders and illegal immigration. To deny that truth is absurd. The majority of illegal aliens come to the US not to assimilate into our society and culture, but to undermine the US employment system, our liberal social welfare system and to steal from the American people.

"The problem is NOT immigration, illegal or otherwise. Linda Chavez is correct -- America is built on immigrants. "

Who says immigration is not the problem? Just because something was good for this nation at one time in the past does that mean it is good now and forevermore? Slavery and Child Labor were once beneficial to the economy and growth of our nation.. so should we continue with those? It could most DEFINITELY be argued that military expansion of our territories were economically beneficial to our nation.. so should we not continue that? Is there ANY population level in which you immigration advocates will say enough is enough.. that we do not NEED any more people here? 500 million? 1 billion? 5 billion?

When the nation was expanding it's boundaries, and we had vast areas of wilderness, we had plenty of room for more people. Now we are simply dividing the pie into smaller and smaller pieces for everyone. Immigration benefits only immigrants, and the profit margins of Big Business.. but screws the working class citizen. His taxes are increasing, while his wage scale is being depressed due to an over-abundance of workers. There is NO job that an American will not do.. just jobs they will not do at 1975 wage scales.

If Illegal aliens were paying a fair proportion of taxes, then why did my taxes just increase so that we can pay for larger school, due to our student population doubling, which is due to illegal immigration. If Illegals were paying their proportionate share, then it would follow that while there are more students, there are more taxpayers, so on a per taxpayer basis, no additional taxes should be needed.
