The whole immigration system should be revamped immediately. Legal immigration can be worse than illegal immigration, refugees are often just scams, many have no need to come here and if they're coming only to end up on welfare then we don't need them. If they can't speak English and make it on their own here by working then they're better off in their homelands. Legal status is given out far too easily and to many of the wrong people and no immigrant should be on any kind of federal aid.

" ... refugees are often just scams, many have no need to come here ... "

[ you have data for this of course? ]

" ... and if they're coming only to end up on welfare then we don't need them. "

[ and we don't 'NEED' the homeless, the unemployed, the sick, the handicapped, the mentally ill or disabled, the poor; but we take care of them, hopefully in a way that preserves or restores dignity and humanity. We don't NEED bigots either, but we defend to the death their right to speak as they do.]

"If they can't speak English and make it on their own here by working then they're better off [?!] in their homelands."

[ ( As I said to 'gueroloco'): Oh, yes: much worse to be on welfare (and perhaps only for a while) than to be persecuted, terrorized, and possibly tortured or murdered .... (P.S. They NO LONGER HAVE a homeland!) ]
