Quote:Here's a concept:


A country should act on their own interests and allow in people that it can benefit from having. It isn't about the benefit to the immigrant, but the benefit to the host country. You should never have to take in someone that you don't want. Instead of looking at immigration as letting everyone in but the bad ones, we should be choosy. The USA is the prettiest girl in the room, she doesn't need to date every loser just to be charitable, she's got herself to look after.


I'm tired of the USA being made into a shelter for undesirables. If we need farm workers, maybe we bring some of those in, maybe on a temporary basis... maybe we don't. I bristle at the idea that Americans will not do X job. Americans have done and will do any job if the incentive to work and not be on the dole is there. Corporations and consumers are just addicted to the fruits of the cheap labor. I'd rather pay more for goods knowing my countrymen were well paid for it.
