What do you think about my rant? Would you please answer without reporting?

If you are American, laws against immigration protect you from peaceful capitalist competition with people from other countries. Therefore your whole life is a monopoly over the achievements of the founding fathers, protected by the state, most probably because you want it that way and you always ask your politicians to be more harsh with immigrants.What do you think about my rant?

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she


with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,


Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,


The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.


Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,


I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”





This is the message many illegals see as a future


be it right or wrong - that is the promise heard from a wealthy nation to so many struggling people of poorer countriesWhat do you think about my rant? Would you please answer without reporting?
Makes me wonder how many Americans have no grasp on the future that lady with the lamp offers to poorer nations...

Rant without a point ! Rant failed. Honest immigrants are always welcome here, but illegals who come in a drain and this Country to the tune of billions of our hard earned tax dollars every year are NOT welcome. Legal immigrants are protected by our laws, but why should those laws extend to protect illegals ? Spend your money giving it away to somebody else who is here illegally and let's see how fast it takes you to change your tune. Congress has no right to spend our money on illegals and is acing without Constitutonal authority in breach of its oath, and does so every day shamelessly. It is a national disgrace and so is Nancy Pelosi.
Its more basic than that, in terms of immigration ; think of it in this analogy, A father only has one job and four kids and barely making it, now would he want to add to that number?





Survival is pragmatic at best.Why would an American want more immigrants (legal or not) what is the incentive for them? To drive down their own pay scale? To lose property value? These are the realities like them or not.





I have attempted to answer your question in the most basic of ways, immigrants do pose a threat to your own economic survival.America already in some states have unemployment as high as 20% why would an America want more Immigrants in such a dire economy?
If you want to live in this country, do it the legal way. Don't sneak over the border and mooch off of our system. Make it legal, go to work and pay taxes like the rest of the citizens. That's all we ask. We have enough legal citizens here that need help, we don't need to hand out to illegal ones.
Are you crazy? Go up I 80, Every building there is a foreign business. Go to No. Jersey; Mercedes. BMW, Volvo; down south, Toyota, Honda, Phillips. soon Mazda. Ever been to NYC. You gotta turn off FOX5 and get out more.
Illegal immigrants illy effect the economy here with american citizens. There are proper steps in immigrating over to the US and with the issues of terrorism surrounding the country right now. It should be followed.
Someday the whiners are going to be able to make a distinction between immigrants and illegal aliens.





Until then, in YA, this topic is damaged beyond repair.
What part of illegal do you not understand? We reject your underlying argument that the ends are justified by any means.





Legally here? Welcome





Illegally here? Take your a** back across the border or be dragged there.
rant duly noted.


failed rant, however.


illegal immigrants must go away.
Jim Sock is correct.
WOW! IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT WERE LIKE THAT . GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY YOU LOVE SO MUCH AND LEAVE MINE ALONE.
I respectfully disagree. Your argument is inherently flawed: if laws against immigration protected us from competition from other nations then we wouldn't have seen the exodus of manufacturing-jobs from the U.S. to other countries that we've seen in the past forty-odd years.





We have laws against illegal immigration as any nation founded on the rule-of-law should. (We need to do more to enforce those laws).





We also have laws %26amp; policies that allow for legal immigration. These policies recognize that there is a finite number of immigrants (and increased population) that the U.S. can successfully assimilate each year. Jobs, services and infrastructure can only be expanded at a limited rate in a given year.





What our immigration policy does not adequately address is what is the ';right number'; of people for the U.S.? For many years I had the ';gut feeling'; that the population of the U.S. should've topped-out at somewhere between 200- and 250-million but I was not aware of any evidence to support that figure. Then sometime in the past year-or-so I read an article in _The Economist_ that some research-institution had conducted a study that concluded that long-term the U.S. could support about 200-million people.





The fact that a single study comes up with a given number is not, by itself, a definitive statement. But it's a start. For many years I've believed that U.S. legal immigration should be limited to the following five categories (in no particular order):





1. When a U.S. citizen marries a non-citizen.





2. When a U.S. citizen adopts, not sponsors, a non-citizen who is a minor. The adopting U. S. citizen should be legally %26amp; financially responsible for the adoptee until age 21 or five years after the non-citizen enters the U.S., whichever comes last.





3. When a non-citizen performs an undeniaby valuable service for the U.S. like tipping us off to a major terrorist or criminal activity or because they worked for U.S. forces in a war-zone and are now at risk by hostile forces. Their immediate family members would be included too.





4. When a non-citizen has an extraordinarily valueable skill that the U.S. has a significant shortage of or otherwise benefits the U.S. Examples would include top scientists %26amp; researchers in their field. Immediate family members included.





5. When a non-citizen is willing to invest a significant amount of capital in the U.S. This could be on some kind of sliding scale like five-million dollars for five years or 2.5-million dollars for ten years. This could be a cash investment in something like the stock market or a money-market-account or actually starting a business. Immediate family members included.





The myth that illegal immigrants only take jobs that native-born Americans don't want is just that--a myth. What happens is that they move into a certain industry, like meat-packing or construction, and depress wages to the point that native-born Americans can no longer earn a decent living (as an American would define it). I've heard of American family-owned landscaping-companies being put out of business because of illegal immigrants.
