[Eric Blair 2084]

When the liberal media refers to border control advocates as “anti-immigration” conservatives cringe. We are talking about ILLEGAL immigration. Not legal immigration.

I hope they never read these last few comments from you. It’s the kind of ammo they love to make their argument.

We can't preserve America, or ever return to it, if we continue mass immigration of people that are totally different from us in every way. Gain a restaraunt, lose a nation, besides crowded nations suck.

Assuming that a thing is desirable simply because it's legal is mindless and inconsistent with a multitude of conservative positions. Conservatives don't conclude that abortion is good, nor TARP commendable, nor affirmative action desirable simply because the state sanctions these things.

The legal immigration status quo favors illiterate, uneducated foreigners who are related to lawful residents over skilled foreigners who have no such relatives, it imports 1 million persons per year when one out of ten Americans can't find work, and it overburdens law enforcement with a superabundance of potential criminals and terrorists.

It does all these things, in addition to inflicting other outrages, while being perfectly legal. Hence, legality is no guarantee of harmlessness, let alone benefit.
