Well boy, I haven't missed that legal immigration has become as big a problem as illegal immigration.

Nice try to smear those concerned about the fact that: " For the third straight year the median income of the typical American family fell in 2010. Adjusted for inflation, it is back where it was in 1996, the longest period of zero growth since the Depression. ...

"Thus, well over a million workers are added annually to our labor force when 14 million Americans are looking for work. (actually 125,000 per month brought into the US - guest workers and green cards)...

"Is it xenophobic to say our own citizens should come first, that the importation of foreign workers must halt until our own unemployed have found jobs? ...

"U.S. companies see immigrants, legal or illegal, as an endless source of cheap labor to keep wage costs down. And they are right."

In addition brand new immigrants from third world countries along with their extended families are brought in placed on the dole costing tax payers hundreds of billions of dollars.

Boy, maybe you don't mind being the welfare and HR department for the world, I and many other conservatives do.

Stop your whining. I appreciate Brother Buchanan and the WSJ pieces. They point out what we all know. The national economy sucks. Middle class folks are getting the short end of the American Dream. Since you obviously agree with John Tanton on severely restricting legal immigration. I take it, you too support a call for white supremacy and eugenics. TR, Wilson and Churchill did, so you're in good company.

You need to find a better subject to criticize me on, bucko. That nativist hyperbole won't work. The US has to compete in the worldwide economy. So we will not turn into "Fortress America". If US companies stopped employing foreigners, we'd be in far worse shape then we are today. Properly educating our children should be the #1 priority to revive the US economy long term and to restore American exceptionalism. People are always coming to America. I'd rather they'd be legal foreigners as opposed to illegal aliens. Either way, they will come nonetheless.

If the Feds properly secured the border, we could start getting our house in order. Concentrate on correcting faults within the legal immigration system and streamlining the federal bureaucracy. Since liberals comprise the vast majoirty of US civil servants, I doubt we'll see any serious changes coming soon.

Btw, this conservative would like to see a more limited and less intrusive federal government. A govt that lives by the Constitution.
