My point is that immigration is fine. The United States benefits from all immigrants coming here, not just European immigrants...
The world is not what it once was, genius. You're probably just some stubborn boomer who rides his Harley, still likes songs like ''Rock You Like A Hurricane'' and is simply incapable of walking in someone elses shoes. You don't really care what you're going to leave behind when you're gone, do you?
Name-calling. Nice. That's proof positive right there that you likely lack the intellectual wherewithal to engage in a reasoned, mature discussion on the issue.
But, yeah, I ride my Harleys; at least one of them every day (I have six of them). I never liked the Scorpions, so you're wrong on that. Hell, that song's probably the reason I dislike them so much.
What do you think I'll "leave behind"?
The Hart-Celler act has lead to alienation, low-trust and a mess. Bringing in people from around the world isn't logical and doesn't really make a country better. In fact, it has done the exact opposite.
The Immigration Act of 1924 was pretty discriminatory in nature, heavily favoring immigrants from western Europe. While you whine about countries people had never heard of before 9/11, the Hart Celler Act also allowed for the immigration of people from the far east, most notably Japan. I don't know of a single non-racist who would argue that the United States hasn't benefited from that...
It would make sense for a country that's majority European to bring in mainly European immigrants when needed as it once was, not immigrants from countries that many people probably have never even heard of before 9/11.
Please explain how that makes sense.
Yours is a rather myopic view if you think Hart-Celler is only about people from the Middle East.
What are you so afraid of?
Courage is knowing that something will hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing. That's why life is hard...
