Can’t agree with that statement without more information. That simplistic undefined statement was the heart of the deceptive “comprehensive immigration reform” that was constantly pushed by the likes of Bush, McCain, and Graham. Unfortunately, even Trump has been fooled by it as evidenced by his frequent refrain that we want immigrants, we just want them to come in legally.
Only saying that and nothing more, though, implies that the current tsunami of third world refuse is fine to continue coming here, just so long as they do the proper paperwork first. That’s dangerous nonsense. The problem isn’t clerical processes, it’s the numbers and quality and loyalty of those flooding in. The deceitful dems constantly try to hoodwink people on this issue by referring to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, making sure every time to refer to America as “a nation of immigrants”, when the illegal invasion they’re referring to has no relation to those things. But the turn of the century wave of immigration that flowed through Ellis Island was metered and controlled by the U.S. government. And those seeking to immigrate were chosen according to their origin, potential to contribute positively to society, and their health. Not all were selected, and we certainly didn’t have the ridiculous situation we have now in which the invaders themselves have total authority to decide who and how many will come here.
The word “immigration” doesn’t mean an uncontrolled invasion, and it certainly doesn’t mean that the invader gets to control the decision to “immigrate.” ACTUAL immigration is a process controlled by the host country in which that country gets to decide who will come in and who won’t, based upon sensible standards. And the difference between illegal immigration and legal immigration is not just the word “legal.” Those who push that nonsense are just trying to fool the public into allowing the same uncontrolled invasion to continue, just with a facade of being “legal.”
Finally, the idea that we must continue to allow unfettered immigration because we are “a nation of immigrants” is a dangerous lie. The great wave of immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s was an anomaly in American history, driven by industrialization. And of course those immigrants came mostly from compatible cultures in Europe. But what most people don’t realize is that after that wave subsided the U.S. almost entirely stopped all immigration for about 40 years. That was done to give the previous immigrants time to assimilate as Americans before allowing any more to come in. Rational, common-sense, and something you would obviously want to do. And things stayed pretty much that way until Ted Kennedy came along and opened the floodgates to the third world, initiating the preference for deadbeats from s-hole countries that we see today.
