Immigration by itself is good for the country. In fact, it produced the greates generation.

The problem of today's immigration policy is that it prefers quantity instead of quality, as once was the case.

Another mistake is that the country allows immigration of people who have no intention of ever integrating in our society and from counties that downright hate us.

Apparently we have the urge to commit suicide.

Very true on both points. American governments and companies aren't helping matters by communicating in a bilingual way. You can see examples of this by looking at communications from government agencies and going grocery shopping, seeing the bilingual labels on products. None of that encourages foreigners in this country to learn our language. If anything, it discourages it. Major changes in the way many people conduct business in our country are necessary, and to this point we are failing to do what must be done.

I wish someone would ask politicians to agree or disagree with the following principle:

Immigrants and would-be immigrants who seek to follow the law should be treated better than those who flout it.
I would, frankly, find almost any form of immigration "reform" to be acceptable if it abided by that simple principle. Unfortunately, the present system seeks to make life miserable for those whose presence would improve this country, while openly inviting people who would instead undermine it.
