I have no problem with immigration as long as it’s done LEGALLY and not ILLEGALY!

My ancestors were colonists, not immigrants, you can’t immigrate to the country that you created.

In effect, in modern America, there is no difference between legal and illegal immigration, it is the same millions of people from the same countries, flooding into America and turning it into a living hell of a multi-cultural tower of bable.

America Is A Nation Of LEGAL Immigrants

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

“I have no problem with immigration as long as it’s done LEGALLY and not ILLEGALY!”

Green cards could be handed out in DC Metro subway transfer issue machines in San Ysidro and elsewhere, or Team Biden’s invader app could be put back into service.

Immigrants of all types must be self-supporting (or have individual trust funds).

The US government spends ~$18,000 per resident per year. A mere $4,000 in federal taxation to be paid by the immigrant would fall far short by about $14,000/year.

A public K-12 education in New York City has an average cost of about $35,000/student/year.

God did His thing at Babel for a reason. Satan is doing his best to negate that

Bingo. Later arrivals were intended to experience the "melting pot" effect.

This is a recipe above all for mass non-assimilation and, ultimately, civic conflict.

We already have that. Look at Los Angeles.

We are a nation of immigrants. Unless you are a Indian.
Legal immigrants.

While the idea of being a Mayflower descendant carries significant historical weight, it’s not as rare as one might think due to the large number of descendants and their wide dispersal. Estimates suggest that around 35 million people worldwide are believed to be descended from the Mayflower passengers, with around 10 million of those living in the United States, according to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

Take a look at life after they left the immigration station:

One can’t just walk into Mexico nowadays.

I had the need to enter Mexico about eight times.

The questions I got asked got progressively tougher.

In the end, I was responding in both English and Spanish.

If the Federal government were to offer $20K to each illegal for someone to self-deport within 60 days, such a move would greatly increase self-deportation. In the long run, that would prove cheaper than multiple years of Federal, state, and local funds being spent for welfare benefits, public education, etc. A family of four would return home with $80K plus the proceeds of sales of real estate, vehicles, and personal property. Those funds would go much further in Latin America than here.

Yep just amnesty under a different name. They really think we are that stupid. Any Republican that votes for this needs to be primaried.

So you’re cool if we just go along with the Al May-Ork-Ass model of unlimited access as long as you log into the app and say “I ees a refoogee?”

660M people in Latin America.

1.4B people in China.

1.5B or so (no one actually knows) in Africa

1.9B in the Indian subcontinent (Pak + India + Bangladesh)

Maybe another 2B in southeast Asia

Only about 700M in Europe, but you know, at least 25M of the 35M remaining Ookrainians would like to leave. They at least would be real refugees, and White Christian to boot. Would actually be useful to have. Along with the 2.7M Afrikaners who are the target of impending extermination.

So uh, where do we stop?

“Legal” immigration can be re-defined to mean anything.

A lot of people came here with pennies to their names, pulled themselves up and became solid citizens contributing greatly to their chosen country.
