We are supposed to have government for the people by the people. I think the existing citizens have every right to have a say in how many new people come to America and their voice is supposed to be expressed through their elected representatives. Almost every poll suggests that American citizens are overwhelmingly in favor of stopping illegal immigration and either reducing or maintaining current levels of legal immigration. Unfortunately, the people have been ignored by their representatives for decades in favor of the desires of the Chamber of Commerce.
I am not disputing that people want more restrictions on immigration. Just stating my belief that that desire is incorrect and bad public policy.
