IMO, there shouldn't be any guest-worker programs, HB-1 visas, green cards, etc. Even legal immigration should have a six-year moratorium to it.

We're a melting pot, but we are boiling over and the water is scalding the sides of the pot and stove. The pot and stove is the U.S. As a melting pot, we're supposed to be simmering, so the herbs and spices can trickle throughout the fruited plains, like a finger that arises from a pie on a ledge that tells the character to come here in a Tex Avery cartoon.

Rick Snyder wants to import 50,000 H1B visa holders to Michigan for jobs they’ll magically create. Meanwhile college students are rightfully asking why they’re going into debt for jobs that won’t be there.

Frankly if we were going to bring in legal immigrants I would rather give the low skilled middle eastern Christians asylum in Detroit. If anyone can make something from nothing, they can.

As a melting pot the idea was for everyone that immigrated here to become an AMERICA and do it ASAP...this country decided to be a salad bowl instead of a melting pot and everyone that comes here is encouraged to keep their culture. I am all for family history, recipes, etc. but what is happening is people are not just bringing some of their memories and becoming Americans, they are trying to bring their third world country here with them...and succeeding.

If the US had not restricted immigration in the early 20s, we would have entered the Depression with ten million more European immigrants, mostly poor. Because we did, the US went to war with young troops soldiers for almost all whose first language was English.
