During the state of the union Trump said he wants to increase legal immigration. Do you join him in supporting changes in i*********n l*ws that will significantly increase the number of people allowed to immigrate to our country?

NO, not at over a million new needy, greedy foreign non-assimilating strangers EVERY YEAR. Too many, too fast, too poor/uneducated/unsk**led, too exploiting. Our nation, our citizens simply cannot continue adding that many new people thast we must take care of every year. They are a burden, NOT a benefit. We need to stop ALL legal immigration except for business and maybe tourists until we can get our country back on the right track, returning to our prior requiring that all foreigners leave the old ways and allegiances and totally assimilate into American society and ways. We need to make changes within our country concerning foreign immigrants if we expect to keep our nation American.

Unfortunately, our nation gains nothing by allowing low education, lowIQ people to cross our boarders, who are dependent on the rest of us to support them because they just are not able to take care of themselves. Perhaps if we had higher intellect, higher functioning legal immigrants we would not have to borrow so much money to provide welfare and all the other perks to lower functioning individuals.

I support the changes that POTUS 45 wishes to enact as well...
Kindly read the post I was responding to before interjecting...
Do you not support the abolishment of chain migration?

See my previous post in response to maryjane...

Yes, I most certainly support an end to chain migration. It is through that stupid immigration program that we get so many (legally) needy foreigners, not just the poor, uneducated, unsk**led, but also the elderly, the disabled, the ill, all of whom are burdens to US taxpayers from day one. That may sound harsh, but I am only putting American citizens first. We have enough of our own poor, uneducated, unsk**led, elderly, disabled, and ill that need our care and many that are getting no, or inadequate, care. We have millions of our own American children lliving in poverty, in very unsafe homes, in gang and violence infested neighborhoods. It is wrong that we have our own needs, issues, and problems that are being ignored while our congress/government and half our citizens put the interests and well being of foreigners, especially i******s, above those of our very own people. That makes me very angry. All the needy, greedy, selfish foreigners, legal and illegal, coming here, not for love of America and its foundations, but simply to get all our material wealth for free they can, that makes me angry, also, especially their assumption that stealing and exploiting us is their right, that they are entitled to all we have because we have it, they don't and they want/deserve it, no matter what it cost us. Yep, makes me very angry thst these users never give a thought or care to their cost to ordinary working Americans, never a thought or care to what they, in their huge numbers and entitled attitudes are doing to our country.

You must be Native American...
I understand...

America is an amalgam of the many nationalities contained within our borders. Irish, Nordic, Italian, Greek, German, Swedish, and yes, Mexican and many other people all have festivals in America celebrating their heritage. There is nothing wrong with that! But I do agree that immigrants need to assimilate, learn our language and our ways. Business travel and tourism are not immigration. And there are not "over a million" new migrants every year, stop with the panic and histrionics already! Except for the Native peoples, we are all descendants of immigrants who came here to make a better life for themselves.

But you are wrong. All the sources say that the U.S. takes in at least one million legal immigrants every year and has been doing so for about 30 years. Then, we must add to that the refugees, asylees, TPS, etc, that we take in and give permits to. So, over a million. Plus the i*****l a***ns and f**e asylees. And, please, let go of the "America is a land of immigrants" excuse. Yes, at one time in the development of this nation, we needed and had many, many immigrants who became Americans and helped build the USA. Today, we have too many people and do not need immigrants, certainly not immigrants that must be taken care of from day one, a burden, not a benefit. Our money, our resources, our infrastructure, etc, simply cannot survive, successfully, year after year, of adding 2-3 million new, mostly, nonassimulating, demanding, entitled, very expensive foreigners to our country. If you wish to know the results of a nation that does not work to keep its population and available resources in proper balance, just look at any African nation. The future of our countty is being created now.
