I am not against LEGAL immigration & it seems that maybe some things should be modified to allow more immigrants in here LEGALLY, after they have gone through the procedures to check out their backgrounds and health.

HOWEVER - I am violently against rewarding people that have come here illegally in any fashion whatsoever!!! Secure the border for sure, but don’t then turn around & let the people that sneaked in against the rules be allowed to stay, work, get a driver’s license, free health care, education, etc. This makes me so mad!

And it has NOTHING to do with being against foreigners or people of color. My brother-in-law came here LEGALLY from another country & finally got his citizenship & I am so proud of him. But it MUST be done within LEGAL parameters.

“it seems that maybe some things should be modified to allow more immigrants in here LEGALLY,”

How many do we allow in ‘legally’ now? Do you know?

Well said. I agree. I support legal immigration and even making its machinery more responsive and efficient, especially where it encourages citizenship and not a "here-but-resentful" subculture.

Well said but also turn off the government spigot of free services. If the allure of free services were turned off, we may not even need the fence.
