Legal immigration may have been good for this country at one time but it is no longer good for this country. We have had enough immigration, the unemployment is going to keep rising and people will begin to realize that this country as great as it is can not sustain continuing unabated immigration. Ask yourself the question - if Bush decides to give green cards out at the border (making it legal immigration) would this be acceptable to you?
I don't think we need to halt all the legal immigration, but we sure need to slow it to a trickle and only immigrate those people that would have a positive effect on our country.
We need to cancel the H1B program, the Immigrant Visa Lottery, and many other programs that lead to Permanent Residency. We definitely need to get the situation under control, but I don't think a complete halt to all forms of Immigration is necessary.

No it would not, but you know as well as I do, that it would never happen like that. Let's stick to what is happening and not some "What IF" scenario.
