So any number of people that want to come here should be able to come here?

I said nothing of the sort. Let's have and enforce immigration laws that are colorblind.

Here's the problem. Suppose we introduce a law that requires new immigrants to have the equivalent of an American high school education. Although this standard is race-neutral, it would still be decried as "racist," since its impact would be to make a lot of people in third world nations like Mexico ineligible as immigrants.

An intelligent immigration policy would limit immigration to the "educated" and "skilled" immigrants that can make a meaningful contribution to America. To keep our immigration policy down on the current politically correct level which ignores how immigrants can contribute to our country’s strength is just more of the same foolery that will lead to America’s eventual demise.
