Should We Reduce Legal Immigration?
 

The below cited author wrote an article pertaining to Senator Tom Cotton ( R-AR). The following excerpts are intended to share your conclusion, suggestions, etc as respect LEGAL IMMIGRATION


The controversy currently permeating the sound waves pertains to Trump's Travel Ban. Yet a legitimate argument is that this nation needs immigration to sustain its dying labor force.

In 1965 our legal immigration system began placing emphasis on family reunification which has caused a tilt toward immigrants more inclined to compete for low-skilled jobs. Today the US awards 65% of immigrant visas based on family ties, 15% based on employment and the remainder refugees, asylum seekers.

Stacie Carr and Marta Tienda Princeton University study found that every 100 immigrants admitted between 1981-1985 without benefit of a family sponsor went on to sponsor 260 family members, and that number increased to 345 between 1996-2000

Both Canada and Australia admit more than 60% based on skill.

Whether immigration depresses wages is hotly debated. However beside economic consideration, immigration creates strains on security, community and national identity. Greg Ip WSJ 3/23/17

Hola amigo! :boom:

OK now that you guys got the emotional outbursts out of the way can we have a serious discussion on what to do about the nation's policy on immigration?

Personal Best Regards:

Yes...

Whites are 49%...there is NO majority...the next majority will be Hispanic...the country is doomed.

The "illegal" anchor babies MUST go or the country is lost.

That is the bottom line...our only hope.

"Should We Reduce Legal Immigration?" To what?

Legal immigration in the early 80's was mostly Vietnamese people.

I don't know about YOU but I sure get tired of reading about the lazy Vietnamese who refuse to get a job and turn to life of crime...
(for the more enlightened members of the forum, that last line is "sarcasm")

They're NOT the MAJORITY of babies and children registering for school...are they? No...they're not. They're a small minority, they're not going to be the Majority within 30 years.

Hispanics ARE...they MUST be stopped...or your country IS lost.

I answered the concerns stated by the OP. I'm not going to argue against your deluded fantasies.

Deluded fantasies? You DENY that minorities are the majority of new school registrations? That they are the majority of babies born? You deny whites are dying out faster than they are being born/replaced? Within 30 years Hispanics WILL be the majority...and the country will change...it will become a Mexico II. Look at the border states, they're already Mexico II.

YOU have the deluded fantasies...

You spent the last several weeks quoting Creepy Uncle Joe's claim that this has already happened. What changed? Your Methadone treatment finally over?

Those that don't adapt, fall by the wayside.

Immigration Is Not A Right
 

It not just a matter " to what". Again the article talks about the fact that nations such as Canada and Australia policy is to allow LEGAL immigration based on need for certain skills in their country. What effect that has on reduction is a matter of their need.

Why would a nation allow unlimited number of immigrants to their nation who will only create a financial burden on that nation ?

Why would a nation allow H1B visas to immigrants if that nation had an ample supply of citizens in said occupation who could fill those positions?

Why would a nation allow immigrants into their nation if they refused to assimilate?

Progressive seemly act as if immigration legal or otherwise is a right of passage . It is not

The United States needs to control its borders and to have an immigration policy that results in a beneficial relationship for this nation. We already have too many takers

And finally in my view this issue isn't about race, etc its about a sensible immigration policy
