promote unity by welcoming legal immigration

Has he ever said how many million per year he thinks should come legally? We have over 2 million legally entering now. Thanks.

Our country was founded by immigrants, and immigrants have helped this become a strong nation. I have no problem with allowing folks to come here, but only if they truly want to become AMERICANS, and not try to make America into their own homeland. That’s not to say that they shouldn’t be able to have their groups and neighborhoods, and food stores, but our laws and culture are our own, and they must assimilate, while maintaining their culture within their families, and neighborhoods if they so choose. Generations of immigrants have done just that, and America is stronger for it. We are not so much a melting pot as a stew, with disparate, but identifiable ingredients.
