> Immigration is our biggest weakness.
Immigrants are not your biggest weakness, mate. People who *choose* to be American aren't a problem at all. They pay taxes just like you do. And they are there, not by accident of birth but by choice.
America is a great Nation built by Immigrants. If you don't like that, well, go home and give it back to the Indians. (They won't complain and will probably do a better job).
I'm an immigrant -- not to America. New Zealand is now my home, by choice. I've paid top tax bracket dollars since landing here. NZ is my home, and I'd fight and die for my right to be a Citizen (which I now am).
No, America's biggest weakness is bigotry. Go read the base of the Statue of Liberty. True or False?
Tell it to the Aboriginals, you hypocrite.
Between 1925 and 1965 the US took in an average of 250,000 a year. Was that somehow anti-immigrant or wrong because it wasn't the million and half+ immigrating in today, a large percentage of whom are illegals? That's the whole point, we can have immigration but it has to be within reason and in numbers communities can absorb. It's exactly the type of reasoning that's over the head of these politicians in DC and apparently you.
Read these and tell us how we are bigots.

No, America's biggest weakness is listening to foreigners who think they're smarter than we are.
You've taken the lying bait of the leftwing press, mate.
You shouldn't allow them to lead you around by the ear.
Being a real American has nothing to do with skin pigment.
Here's some real Americans for you:
Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist and friends
As far as the statue of liberty goes, the tired and poor coming these days, expect entitlements and handouts. That's not what this country was founded on. That's not what the people that built the country intended.
If you consider yourself comparable to those who come here illegally, never apply for permits or citizenship and don't want to who are any of us to argue?

It's a statement of sentiment not a law. Besides, didn't a Frenchman write that?
I meant illegal immigration. Sorry not to make that distinction. Those who legally go through the hoops are typically great citizens. I have Korean neighbors who are legal citizens. I wish we have millions more like them in our country. They truly love this country and really try to follow the rules.
The illegals from the south? Don't get me started.
