Oh yeah, THAT’S why it’s not on Fox. Because they’re too embarrassed to air it.

They're crying over something Obama did.

Hey dumbass troll. They are people, not countries.

What now? I’m asking why we want people from shit countries that are falling apart and that no first worlder would live in ever.

Which countries did your ancestors immigrate from? (Tell us the years they immigrated and we'll tell you how shitty they were.)

Alabama and Arkansas come to mind.

DP, but you have answered your own question, no?

And why is it that Haiti and Africa are shitholes but Norway isn't?

Very, very good questions. Care to hazard a guess?

Even if he was, how little self control does the imbecile that he just blurts out whatever he’s thinking. Just when I thought he couldn’t be more of a fool.

This country needs someone who is willing to be blunt about the immigration situation we’re in.

The visa lottery program and chain migration isn't what our country needs.

Family immigration is what built this country. The visa lottery is a miniscule part of US immigration. Get real, dude.

Hello,

Previous poster here.

Family immigration did indeed build this country. Back when our country was founded all the way up to the Immigration Act of 1924, we had millions of people come to the United States to build better lives. Back in those days, poorly educated and skilled individuals would be qualified to work in a wide variety of jobs that would cement the foundation for their families future. Think of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle."

The issue I see today is the economic landscape of the United States has changed. Manufacturing is gone and many jobs that were performed using manual labor have disappeared. By allowing low-skilled and poorly educated people in the United States we are setting them up for failure. Sure, there'll be exceptions. But as a large group, I am concerned about the outcome of this population group.

We can still have immigration to the United States, and in fact increase our numbers if desired, but by transitioning to a merit-based scheme I believe both the United States and the immigrant will achieve a better outcome.

Manufacturing was never the pathway for success for immigrants. It has been through agriculture and services. Manufacturing was never that large a part of our economy. Yes, some immigrants became garment workers or steel workers, but even in its biggest year, 1950, it was no greater than 35% of the labor force. And 1950 was several generations removed from the immigrant boom.

It’s the responsibility of the United States to allow people from underdeveloped countries to immigrate to America given America’s legacy of racism, colonialism, and bigotry. America’s racism destroyed Haiti, so please no complaining Donald when Haitians want to come here.
