Your numbers are inaccurate. There are at least 30 million illegals in our Country. Did God Place a number on how many to let in? A couple of billion want to come.

I took the 1.2 number from the OP. The total accumulated over the past 20 years is closer to 10 million, not 30 million. I would simply ask that we all know the facts before condemning people asking for help.

America has a stellar record when it comes to accepting immigrants and refugees compared to almost any other country in the world!
The matter of millions entering illegally is a problem that needs some real attention.
I believe that we in the US are a very generous nation, but we realistically can’t help everyone!

That’s the Problem, taking unverified info and using it to make your case and when you are called out, you mere,y state that you “took it from the OP”. Nice.

No, I am certainly not forgetting those brave men & women who fought and won against the traitor's (who supported bringing "immigrants" to this country against their will as property)...to keep this great nation together.

There is definitely a problem.

I'm curious as to your proof that some info is "unverified," while making the claim that your numbers...are accurate.

Please clarify.

There are many reasons to want to step up on existing immigration law and border patrol. "This country was founded on legal immigration" is not one of them.

While we definitely have to have some sensible immigration laws, I truly believe that the biggest fear of a lot of folks is that the unstated adage of "white + might = right"...might be slipping away.

Just amazing

I'm not Christian, and I agree with you. You don't have to be Christian to be compassionate and wish for peaceful co-existence with your fellow human.

Illegals are a real problem. They will do all they can to get here for the freebees that hard working Americans have to provide. Legal immigration is not the problem. Changing the name of illegals to undocumented does not make it right. It is against the law for a reason.
