[TheRealThing]

One who judges people based on their race is a racist. I have never done so and never will. I would end chain immigration and legal immigration from countries where terrorism is widespread. Our immigration system should be strictly merit based, which would necessarily result in an increase in immigration from countries such as India, South Korea, Japan, and other countries that produce people having top tier technical skills.

It is not in this nation's interest to allow people into this country who are poorly educated and diseased. When we fail to enforce our immigration laws and set criteria for legal immigration that ignores the potential contribution of immigrants to our national interests and future, then we are engaging in self destructive behavior as a nation.

Your position is the equivalent of a company hiring employees at random...no interviews, no health screening, no job history, no eduction, no requirements at all. Just walk through the front door and start working, or just illegally sign up for benefits for which American citizens pay. What would happen to a company that gave jobs to everybody who asked for one and set no limits on the number of job applicants?

This country is not physically large enough to support the world's population. The only logical immigration system is one that places the interests of American citizens first.

Illegal aliens are a cancer to this country that should be removed, and by removed, I mean returned to their nation of origin to the other side of the southern border wall that Trump promised but has yet to deliver.

Excellent point, and right to the point IMHO. If immigration were to be based on need as the Dems claim to support, how could we ever draw the line? Billions of people, (or about one half the world's total population) live in poverty. If we here in the US are really going to allow 'being needy' as a subjective and sometimes even dubious basis to defy American law, I don't understand how we with any degree of virtue, can get by with extending the welcome mat only to Central America. What? just let others across the planet totally starve to death? Where is their place in the global welfare line? To the point--- No one nation on this planet, no matter which, could ever be morally held responsible for the world's poor. Even The Lord Jesus addressed the matter...
Mark 14:7 (KJV)
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

The truth is we should do as we have always done. Feed and otherwise help those we can. Past that, totally evenhandedly allow only LEGAL immigration based on merit into this land. It's right to help the poor, and even incumbent upon us to so do. But we are not responsible for taking them on as perpetual wards, be that the Church, or the state. Helping people after a fashion, is part of the work of the Church but even where the Church is concerned, we are to do what we can. Neither the Church nor the state is responsible for taking care of the poor, as if it were a matter of unalienable right. You HELP, you don't adopt.

In my book, Sci-Fi and every other lib with such deep convictions of being the ever attentive husbandman of the poor, should open up his own checkbook, and leave how much others give up to their particular consciences. What's going on here though is the complete opposite. The Dems, (like San Fran Nan and good ol Bernie Sanders) want to tell the working class to be more generous while themselves, sit on personal fortunes the rest of us could only dream about. It's a come-on to justify their continual rises in taxation. And in that I am giving them the benefit of the doubt. Because, we all know the truth of all of this. This is the time in US history when the voter has lost control of his own destiny and in that the destiny of the land. Owing to the alarms and warnings, Dems know this is the time like no other to flood Red states with illegal immigrants looking for easy street. And they're not about to miss their chance or back down until or unless those afore mentioned voters wake up, and stand up, and vote them out of office.

To choose not to do so will be testament to the true power of apathy. When folks become so numb headed they won't lift a finger to help maintain their own freedom, it was over anyway. One way or another, elections have consequences and we are once again about to see.
