“Yet look at the numbers of unskilled people that we take in. Let's meet our own needs first and then attend to the needs of the rest of the world.”
It would be different if the “immigrants” had a desire to become Americans and adopt our culture, but they spit on our culture, demanding that we adapt everything to them. Any immigration reform that doesn't send illegals packing with no possibility of returning is unacceptable. We should have the same approach to “guest workers” as Switzerland. If they have a labor shortage, they will allow foreigners to work as long as they need them. The guest workers have no rights to social benefits, no automatic path to citizenship, and if they are fired or laid off they must leave. You cannot immigrate to Australia if you simply want to. You must have an advanced degree or at least a specialized skill set they need. Marrying an Australian citizen doesn't get you in either. Being against the unchecked immigration of poorly educated refuges isn't racist, it's self preservation.

That is really untrue of most east asian (oriental) immigrants. However, for the anti immigrant citizen, hell will freeze over before they open the door to the dirty yellow people despite the fact that they assimilate well.
