[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t send us your tired, your poor.
Keep your own huddled masses — they don’t need to breathe free.
We don’t want your wretched refuse and don’t care about your teaming shore 
Don’t send these
homeless tempest tossed to us 
We’ve turned off our lamp 
and shut our golden door.

First, a poem written by a 19th century woman doesn’t set immigration policy.  Next, our country has gone through multiple cycles of high immigration and then decades where it is slowed.  Next, we have radically changed our country since 1965 through admission of millions and millions of “huddled masses.”  At this point in our economy, we need to educate and encourage our own citizens to work in the diminishing number of low tech jobs.  We have people who are chronically unemployed and on welfare/disability, substance abusing, etc. and then import people to do basic jobs.  We also import a huge number of students and white collar workers when our own STEM graduates are underemployed and AI job cuts are being announced by major companies.  At a certain point , we need to focus on our own citizens before the fantasy that we can rescue every person in the world who wants to come here.[/quote]

I have to agree with all of this.  Does this make me a Republican now?
