It is off of the thread topic and it would take pages for me to answer your questions, but I'll try to summarize. I am the granddaughter of legal Italian immigrants. This Country consists of immigrants, so no, I'm not against LEGAL immigration, but that isn't what is going on here. First, I think the large influx of people from the middle east, who have no desire to assimilate, but instead, demand their rights for their religion, is VERY dangerous to the Freedom we enjoy in this Country. (Look at the demise of Europe)

Secondly, I think that the people smuggled here from Mexico to satisfy cheap labor for big business, and to add a new poverty class for the Democrats, is also very unAmerican. They are the new "slaves" and it is indefensible.

I also think that instead of Mexico criticizing us, they should improve their own country and take care of their citizens, instead of expecting the U.S. to take on even more people that can't take care of themselves.

Your questions and points are great, but I don't ever see our government doing those things!

OT: Thought you both might like to see this video from NumbersUSA. Their statistics, I believe, include legal immigration only. The problem we are facing is much bigger than anyone in power will admit, certainly bigger than most of us realize.

Immigration in America

Thanks for your thoughtful response!

It is off of the thread topic and it would take pages for me to answer your questions, but I'll try to summarize. I am the granddaughter of legal Italian immigrants. This Country consists of immigrants, so no, I'm not against LEGAL immigration, but that isn't what is going on here. First, I think the large influx of people from the middle east, who have no desire to assimilate, but instead, demand their rights for their religion, is VERY dangerous to the Freedom we enjoy in this Country.

I'm the grandson/great grandson of legal and illegal immigrants. I'm also very much for LEGAL immigration. I'm for greatly increased legal immigration. I think that any country with a culture that is hostile to the U.S. should be cut off, with the exception of asylum seekers. I think increased birthrate is the answer to the demise of Europe.

Secondly, I think that the people smuggled here from Mexico to satisfy cheap labor for big business, and to add a new poverty class for the Democrats, is also very unAmerican. They are the new "slaves" and it is indefensible.

I agree with you again. I think that illegal Mexican and Central American immigrants are being brutally exploited, most of all by the Democrats. I'm glad that they are willing to do so many tough jobs and I think that we need them for that reason. I'm glad that so many like making babies and are family/church going/Christian people. But they should not be deprived of the economic freedom which enables upward mobility because of fear. Hopelessness in the face of prosperity breeds dependency, crime, and neglect. After the border is secured, WITH A FENCE, if they know english and they can prove that they worked hard, and they have gone home, let's get them back here where they belong, legally and quickly.

I also think that instead of Mexico criticizing us, they should improve their own country and take care of their citizens, instead of expecting the U.S. to take on even more people that can't take care of themselves.

I don't think it's Mexico's business to take care of their citizens except ensure their freedom, keep them safe from crime and get out of their way.

Your questions and points are great, but I don't ever see our government doing those things!

We will fix these problems, we must.
