[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this make any sense? The standard argument is that illegals to do the jobs americans won't do. Well great then give those people the go ahead not the ones that will take the good college educated jobs

WTF, did obama think this one up during the morning while sitting on the pot?

The fear-mongering "immigrants are going to take our jobs" is as old as America.  [b]Yet immigration has always benefitted our country. [/b]

There are already college degree jobs that are going unfilled.  We import nurses from foreign countries and IT people, too.  It has gotten worse and worse.  And yet our lazy kids don't do the work to get those jobs.[/quote]

[u][b]Legal[/b][/u] immigration has always benefited our country.[/quote]Not really. It was immigration. Doesn't matter why. People who risk everything to be here are a good bet on the whole. [/quote]

PP here. Whether you happen to think immigration laws are important or not, our country has benefited from legal immigration in the past because the majority of those immigrants came here LEGALLY.[/quote]

Wow, surprisingly, you are totally wrong.

For most of our early history, there was no immigration law.  Then in 1875 the government tried to restrict asians because they feared cheap labor.  Of course none of this worked and Asians went on to build the west coast economy and our railroads.

The first global quotas only kicked in after 1921 and then got tougher after 1924.  Guess what, those huge waves of Irish, Italian, and Germans had already been let in by that point.

So basically the wave of immigration that led to our world dominance post WWII was completed before any significant immigration restrictions even existed!
