[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Venezuelans are lying homeless in the streets in Colombia.   Not a lot of opportunity there.  It's a tough situation.

We need secure borders and a functional immigration system. [/quote]

And that is the US’ responsibility because…….?

No country on earth is required to give people better economic opportunities.  Asylum is for fleeing persecution. Our own citizens sleep in the streets too.  There are poor people all over the world.  You going to open our borders to every poor person who feels like coming?

Great, we can all end up poor together.  Maybe they shouldn’t have elected socialists to run the govt.  And now they’ll probably bring the same mindset that ruined their country and ruin ours when they vote here.  [/quote]

I didn't say it was the US' responsibility.   I agree we need secure borders,  and deserve to have them, like every other country on earth that I can't just waltz into.

However,  I have family members who went through a lengthy and expensive process to legally immigrate  and I think it could be streamlined and more efficient.   I also think immigrants are a net positive for our society and am supportive of allowing in a reasonable amount of hardworking good people looking for economic opportunity.  The key is a reasonable level of immigrants who can enter and integrate logistically and culturally without overwhelming their new communities. [/quote]
