These are the kinds of immigrants we need
Yes, we have plenty of brilliant "home-grown" people and that issue has already been discussed. There is room for both. But, instead, we are flooded with illegals and third-world refugees who provide little of value and end up taking more than giving. (Yes, there are exceptions, so don't go there). A good part of our problems are because of this. Diseases that were once eradicated are cropping up again. We've had problems with our food supply and they are responsible for a lot of crime. We used to have standards on who we let in. A potential immigrant used to have to provide value to our society. Not anymore. A country cannot continue to absorb millions of people who provide little in the way of being productive members of society and still survive. Immigration must be controlled to a certain extent. And most of these "immigrants" don't assimilate. They demand we conform to them. I say, why did you come here if you want to make us like the sewer you left? A country has a right to control who and how many people it lets in. You want to immigrate to the US? Fine. Do it the right way and provide value. Don't come here to sponge of the rest of us.
