[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like flight attendants tell passengers to put on their air mask before helping others, we need to do the same for our country. To preserve our American standard of living, which is the envy of much of the world, we have to control immigration and only let in those who will help make this country better. Otherwise, the US will become just like the 3rd world crapholes immigrants are escaping. Those with skills, not the world’s peasants, should be our immigration priority.  Stop the policy of “family reunification” that JFK started. I’m liberal about many things, but immigration policy is not one of them.[/quote]

Our economy has always been based on an influx of low-income immigrant labor, starting with English and Irish, then slavery, Russians, Irish, Italians, Germans, etc. There were no quotas until after WWI. They are now Latinos and Africans. Big business depends on them. We all depend on them, but they are always handy as a scapegoat for almost any problem. Nothing has changed. [/quote]

Oh yes it has. We are much more densely populated than before and we aren’t experiencing the industrial boom of the late 19th and early 20th century. Our economy can’t absorb the world’s peasants. We need protectionist legislation.[/quote]
Also, there's a big difference between low-income immigrants today and those of past generations. In the past, the adults learned English - and were proud of their adopted country. Now they not only refuse to learn the language, they expect everything to be translated for them. Look at the Obamacare info form I got in the mail - it was translated into 15 languages on the back![/quote]
