It's way past time we reform and reduce *legal* immigration to sensible, manageable numbers.

I believe a moratorium on even LEGAL immigration is in order, say for a period of about 40-50 years.

There are enough people here now. I realize others' opinions on the subject may differ.

And for survival's sake, we must cast off the millstone of multiculturalism, and return to admitting ONLY the kind of folks we admitted prior to 1950....

This is obvious to anyone that's awake.

I was envisioning sitting in bumper to bumper traffic with a large sign on my car saying, "We need more traffic, cars and people". My next thought was people started jumping out of their cars and attacking me.

I don’t agree with that. That’s too counterproductive and seems quite racist. Not even Duncan Hunter would stand for such an unrealistic proposal.
I’m for border security, background checks and the expulsion of illegals, and even for the limiting of legal immigration. But to actually stop the flow? You’re insane!!

Yes. You have touched upon the point that I intended in my reference in Reply #24, to the Kennedy Immigration Act of 1965. But even with reference to traditional European immigration, we need to screen out more of those wedded to Socialistic dogma than we succeeded in doing previously. America, in all her institutions, depends upon a population that assumes a level of personal, individual responsibility, which very few today exhibit. We have got to face this problem or we will go the way of Classic Rome--only in a far shorter time frame.
