I will state right up front that I not only want an end to illegal immigration, but a large cut-back in legal immigration. Back to where they must assimilate instead of going into self-perpetuating ghettos. Back to where American citizens are not being harmed by lost jobs. Back to where immigration is for benefiting America, and not the world.

A-a-a-a-men.

Easily 60-70% of the legal immigrants we get from Mexico and Central America are as low class and uneducated as the illegal aliens we get

The real disaster is we allow in more legal immigrants from Mexico than anywhere else. Something like 400,000 per year mostly due to "family reunification". 

If I were king of America I would build a border fence, reduce legal/illegal Mexican immigration to zero and allow 400,000 Europeans (real Europeans not Muslims living in Europe) to immigrate here each year with preferences for educated English speakers and those learning English. This was pretty much our immigration policy before the Ted Kennedy immigration acts of 1965 which changed our emphasis on immigration from Europe to immigration from the 3rd world
