So why aren't those changes being made? Do you support reduced legal immigration from the current 1.1 million a year? Who is speaking out in Congress about reducing legal immigration except for a handful of Reps led by Jeff Sessions? Each year that passes means another 1.1 million enter this country changing the demographics of the country forever. Conservatism will be strangulated. We are importing hundreds of thousands of future Dem voters every year. This has electoral consequences now and in the future.
What we really have problems with is the ILLEGAL immigrants.
So we have laws on legal immigration that can be fixed, but how good are these laws as they pertain to illegal aliens if they are not being enforced or they are overruled by executive fiat? The numbers of legal immigrants are three times those of the lawbreakers. They are having a major impact on our economy, demographics, and welfare system. CA has the demographics America will have in 2050.
Not everyone cares about your hobby horse of legal immigration, but most all Americans, including my LEGAL neighbor want the illegal immigration stopped.
The overwhelming majority of Americans want legal immigration reduced. That is the point of this article.
You are part of the problem because you fail to understand the massive impact legal immigration is having on this country. It has to become an acceptable subject for discussion in public fora like it is in the UK and the rest of Europe. This fixation with illegal aliens misses the larger issue of immigration. We could stop illegal immigration tomorrow and the devastating impact of legal immigration will continue It is far more insidious because it is legal and most Americans have been brainwashed (it is changing) to believe that legal immigration is an unalloyed good.
And focusing on legal immigration at this time is completely inappropriate and distracts from illegal immigration.
If you feel the need to muddy the waters, go ahead.
I'll keep sending time and money to Cruz.
