Why are we letting these terrorists in? Have we learned nothing since 9/11?

[KantianBurke]

I guess thousands more will have to die before the country wakes up.

[MatthewViti]

We have a lot of idiots in this country!

ISLAM = TERROR

KICK THE MUSLIMS OUT OF THE US!!!!

[Mixer]

One out of ten comes in illegally which means we welcome the other nine with open arms. Man we are doomed.

[Saturnalia]

Mind you, they are not ALL muslim terrorists.
I have one guy in my class who is Persian, NOT Iranian.
These people know first hand how a theocracy can royally screw up a country and just want something better.

That said, giving the Immigration people enough funding/manpower to do background checks would be a good thing.

[3AngelaD]

As I and others have said before, these people screwed up their own countries and now they're coming here to screw up ours. And our government is allowing them to do it. When was the last time ANY of us got a chance to vote on immigration policies?

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

We have a lot of idiots in this country!

The idiots who have the power to make changes are the 535 members of Congress.

The liberal morlocks of the 1960s created the immigration law which limited white Europeans and allowed a flood of Asian, South American, Middle Eastern and African newcomers to invade!

The quota for Sri Lanka is higher than the quota for Ireland.

That is obscene and insane!!

"The change in religious composition of Middle Eastern immigration is a fascinating social phenomenon," Camarota said. "It illustrates how our immigration system, which admits people primarily based on whether they have a relative here or if they win the visa lottery, creates social forces and trends that would have been entirely unexpected a generation ago."

Is this any way to run a country? It's too bad that political correctness has made it impossible to talk about these problems. I suppose we have to all learn that Orwellian mantra "diversity is strength."

As much as I dislike our current immigration laws, I believe that most of these people have come to America for the same reasons that others have come in the past...........a better life for them and their children

Did the first settlers in America "screw up" their countries, or were they religious or economic refugees???

Think about it.

[Saturnalia]

The difference is those who call themselves Persian don't care for the mullahs who have been screwing over the country .

[Digger]

These new middle-easterners that are coming in DO NOT want to assimulate in our cultures.They will drive that religion to a takeover here. Look at parts of Europe. I knew that problem in England in the 70's. So again I state - Do you really want to change this? If so you must give up total affiliation to the "Two-Party Cartel" which is owned & run by these elites of the NWO.

[bassmaner]

Nevertheless, CIS said, "we must avoid calls to single out Middle Eastern immigration."

WHY THE HELL MUST WE CONTINUE TO WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF P.C. AFTER OVER 3,000 OF US DIED ON 9/11/01?

WHY?

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Slam the door shut on ALL IMMIGRATION!

[Phillip Augustus]

That this is occuring AFTER 9/11 is a guarantee that the days of Western Civilization, at least in the US, are numbered.

[skeeter]

"The Tohono O'Odham [Indian Nation] police say there are people coming through their nation that are Middle Eastern," he said. "Also, they see a lot of Chinese coming through as well."

Used to be the Indians knew how to take care of interlopers...

You bet they're coming here for a better life. But at whose expense? I would invite you to visit the Safeway at Bailey's Crossroads, in northern Virginia, and watch these immigrants, driving new Toyotas, line up their six or seven little towel-heads to pay for their free groceries with WIC coupons and food stamps. Unlike those who immigrated here in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these people are coming here for the free food, free medical care (take a glance at the Medicaid roles), subsidized housing, preferential treatment for Small Business Administration loans; their children are overcrowding our schools, diminishing the quality of education we can offer the native born; for subsidized or free college education through graduate school -- ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS. Earlier waves of immigrants came here, made a life for themselves without government handouts and merged into our country and culture AND CONTRIBUTED TO ITS STRENGTH. (Nor did Italy, for instance, pay to build schools for Italian immigrants that taught them to hate America, American life and Americans.) The people who are coming here now have no intention of joining us; they do not share our values and have no compunction about taking advantage of anything we are stupid enough to offer. They are milking this country like a cow, but they do not love the cow, nor appreciate the fact that she provides the milk; they hate her. THEY ARE PARASITES. They want to enjoy our prosperity without valuing freedom or understanding that's why we are prosperous. They are contributing to our downfall. THEY SCREWED UP THEIR COUNTRIES and now they're COMING HERE (but refusing to adopt our habits of mind that have made us strong and free) TO SCREW UP OURS.

I live in a neighborhood with the largest Arab population in New York City. They comprise about 25-30% of the neighborhoods population, which is ironic because the area has more bars per capita than any other part of Brooklyn.

Not really. It was the CHILDREN of immigrants who blended in. According to my grandparents, their parents remained stuck in the ways of the old country while living here in their ethnic neighborhoods.

Some of the newer immigrants are good, others are bad. After all, who owns most of the small businesses here in New York City. Hell, most pizzerias here are not owned by Italian Americans. They are now owned by Albanians, Arabs, Greeks, etc.
