Can anyone here find fault with this idea of halting all immigration for a a period of time?

This is asinine, our immigrants are our greatest assets. They are the purest Americans, they love our nation and overcome great obstacles to become citizens.

Well then. If loving the country is what is required to be a citizen, your citizenship should be revoked. You certainly h**e America and you are only the first half of asset.

Well, now it's affirmed.
Our greatest asset is foreigners.
Yep. We can pay less and get more out of them than our native losers.
Kevyn, your h**e is making you sound like a capitalist.

Yep - who's gonna do all those jobs natural born Americans refuse to do? Our lowest class citizens live like kings compared to fully half of the rest of the world. Unfortunately, immigrants appreciate our country far more than we do ourselves.

Building a home in a wilderness while overcoming famine, disease, the elements, and hostile natives, is a little different than jumping the southern border, with iphones, wearing Gucci and Adidas, and signing up for everything free.

Mulletfuhrer, your “purest Americans” become criminals the instant they step over the border ILLEGALLY! Those people never gave themselves a chance to become real “assets”……they’re trash from the outset.

If they “loved” this country, they would respect it!

What’s the matter with you? Again, you should be ashamed.

So, you’re okay with making undocumented immigrants (commonly known as i*****l a***ns) being your lowest form of proletariat/servant class. Your benevolence is truly brutal.

You, like the Mulletfuhrer, (your wing-girl) should be ashamed.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

In the late 1800s, Congress moved for the first time to limit the number of immigrants. Lawmakers targeted Asians, especially Chinese. The Page Act and the Chinese Exclusion Act banned most Chinese women and workers.

By the turn of the 20th century, the U.S. federal government had increased its role in immigration. It established Ellis Island in New York as the entry point for immigrants. And it oversaw a dramatic increase in the number of immigrants, especially from Italy and Eastern Europe. Many of the new arrivals were uneducated and had little money.

Once again, some people opposed the number and kind of immigrants entering the country. A group called the Immigration Restriction League was formed. They petitioned Congress to require immigrants to show that they could at least read.

Both Presidents Grover Cleveland and President Woodrow Wilson opposed the requirement. But in 1917, Congress approved the measure over Wilson’s objections. People who wished to settle in the U.S. now had to pass a literacy test.

In the 1920s, restrictions on immigration increased. The Immigration Act of 1924 was the most severe: it limited the overall number of immigrants and established quotas based on nationality. Among other things, the act sharply reduced immigrants from Eastern Europe and Africa. And it completely restricted immigrants from Asia, except for Japan and the Philippines.

Restrictions on other nationalities

At the same time, the historian’s page at the State Department notes that the act made more visas available to people from Britain and Western Europe.

“In all of its parts, the most basic purpose of the 1924 Immigration Act was to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity,” the State Department history page concludes.

Major change

During the 1940s and 50s, the U.S. made some policy changes that increased – however slightly – the number and nationalities of immigrants.

Then, in 1965, a major change happened. Under pressure in part from the civil rights movement, Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act. President Lyndon Johnson signed it.

The act eliminated the quota system based on nationality. Instead, it prioritized immigrants who already had family members in the U.S. It also sought to offer protection to refugees from areas with violence and conflict.

Even though the act kept some limits in place, the origins of immigrants changed dramatically. Instead of being from Western Europe, most immigrants to the U.S. by the end of the 20th century were originally from Mexico, the Philippines, Korea, the Dominican Republic, India, Cuba and Vietnam.

Then they understand we are in a crisis, precipitated by biden, with an invasion of i*****l a***ns and understand the need to stop all activity till the problem is resolved.

TruePatriot49 Loc: The Democratic People's Republic Rhode Island

Majorpain, WRONG AGAIN, the criminal aliens only come here to get FREE STUFF, just like you and the other c*******t Democrats who only want free stuff paid for by working conservatives. Even democrat BILLIONAIRES pay little or no taxes.

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

Many are here for the freebies, no doubt. Many are here for a better life. Some may be here for nefarious reasons The fact that we have no idea why individuals are coming here from over 160 different countries speaks volumes about this clueless and t*****rous administration. I noticed in the Democrats 3.5 trillion dollar spending bill they threw in amnesty for all the i******s.
