[Hoot Gibson]

The one thing that pro immigration people get me on is stating how were all immigrants.

Yes, unless you are 100% native american, youre ancestors were immigrants, but can we stop with this nonsense?
The people who are here and families that have been here for genreations and generations own this country now. We conquered. This is our land. Im not an immigrant, i was born and raised in this country.
We already cant feed the children that are here, kill the ones we dont want, and have a failed medical system overhaul.
Just shut this stuff down, lets enjoy what we have and not worry about these people from other countries. I think were more than capable of handling ourselves and living with what we have. One of these days, in the very distant future, we will wish we did this when this country is so overpopulated and cant progress.

Just end the nonsense. Stay in your own country. Its not there country, its ours.

"Native" Americans were here when Columbus stumbled upon what he believed was India, but their ancestors were also immigrants to this land. Immigration is not our problem. Our problem is with American born politicians who have sold us out and are allowing uncontrolled immigration. In fact, it is even worse than that - Washington fat cats are allowing the uncontrolled immigration of millions of poor, largely uneducated Mexicans and Muslims who contribute less to this country than they contribute.

OTOH, Washington makes it very difficult for people who have much to offer to immigrate here, because they are treated worse than illegal aliens. Foreign nationals who are here legally and follow all of our laws are faced with an overwhelming amount of red tape. If they miss a deadline for filing a form, they risk moving to the back of the line or simply getting themselves deported. Meanwhile, our own politicians are plotting to grant citizenship to people who come to this country with no intention of following our laws, learning English, or blending into our society.

I remember hearing friends and family disparaging the intellectual abilities of Asians by claiming that while they had become pretty good at copying American technology, they were not creative enough to come up with original designs. That was never true and the truth is, this country is being left in the dust technologically and we have become too dependent on foreign technology to remain competitive in a global economy unless the trend stops soon.

This country should be unapologetically recruiting the best and brightest citizens in the world to immigrate here permanently. That is the kind of policy that ensured our ancestors that this country would harness atomic energy before our enemies would do so.

I would love to blame the immigration mess on liberal Democrats, but Republicans like Bush, McCain, and Lindsey Graham have been instrumental in creating the current situation. I would trade all of the backstabbing politicians who had a hand in developing our current immigration policies for a single, intelligent, honest English-speaking immigrant who loves this country and wants to make positive contributions to our future.
