......kids forced to listen to pro-immigration speeches The issue is not about being "pro-immigartion" or "anti-immigration". Just about every American has an immigrant ancestor.
The issue is about ILLEGAL immigration.
The liberal media has made the time-honored term "Immigrant" synonymous with "Illegal Alien". We should watch our own language and not fall into their trap.

There is also a difference between a migrant worker and immigrant.

That doesn't mean we can't control immigration. I keep hearing about how our economy is now service, and everyone needs to be highly educated, and how we are destroying our resources, so of course we need to let millions of uneducated people moving here to start using resources that we don't have.
300 million people is enough, we aren't settling vast open lands anymore.

Indeed. I hate that "immigrant" is being used this way. Illegal aliens is the correct term with emphasis on the first word.
