It's not eugenics. We're importing unskilled, uneducated, illiterate poverty to our sanctuary city to the tune of 10000s a year. And more in the country as a whole. It's a huge cluster*ck in the public schools in CA, MD, FL, TX, AZ. Total mess: kids are 2-4 grade levels behind, graduate and need remedial everything, high absenteeism, high drop-off and teen pregnancy rates, and never master English reading, writing or speaking. Total mess. [/quote]

Nah. We (however we are) aren't importing (whatever you mean by that) poverty. Rather, people are choosing to come here. And why? For the same reasons my grandparents and great-grandparents chose to come here - economic opportunity, freedom from fear, a better life for their children, in a place where there's already a community of people from their country.

Yes, but when my grandparents came here in the 1930s, it was not an instant get public assistance ticket - they had to work, learn the language, take lesser jobs than they had in their home country, and worked their butts off to integrate into America.  They wanted it for the freedom, not the welfare benefits.

Once the whole world gets educated, the earth's population will dramatically decline - already happening in many countries, looking at you South Korea, China, etc... and that is causing lots of social issues.  I am all for immigration, but it needs to be legal immigration and people who can add to society from the beginning - not take from society for a few generations.[/quote]
