“Let’s stop immigration now (both legal and illegal).”
Amen, brother. I’m sick of having to pretend that “legal immigration is okay.”

Both of you are morons.
None of us, you nor I, would BE here if not for legal immigration.
Are you just DU trolls trying to make FR look bad?

Yes, it's way past time to realize that legal immigration has been nearly as destructive as illegal immigration. Some will take offense to this as they probably know immigrants who are fine people and have made contributions. This is true and I also know many of these immigrants myself. But what we are concerned here is numbers and culture. Before 1965 we had immigration as well but it was reasonable, about 200,000 per year. These immigrants came from countries that had similar cultures to the United States. Most of them had to have sponsors and had to prove they were not a burden to the US taxpayers. The Democrats blew this out of the water in 1965. Thanks Ted Kennedy.
In my studies I was surprised to learn that every year about 150,000-200,000 people leave the US. I would allow that many people to immigrate. There would be no more family reunification beyond the immediate spouse. We would go back to a policy that worked well before 1965. We never should have changed it.
