Then what's the answer? Shall we eliminate all immigration, or just the illegals? Who gets to decide who should be kept out and who should be admitted, other than obvious threats to security? (snip) (snip) Almost 100 years ago, my grandparents came to the United States from Italy. They left in part because of the 1906 earthquake, but mostly because they wanted a better life than they could get in Italy at that time. Times change. Years ago, there were great open spaces throughout America just waiting for new immigrates to settle. Those shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers, laborers, and so on, clearly benefited a new nation. The benefits today are subtle and the problems (job shortages and so on) more pronounced. Because of that, we have to cut back on immigration at some point. We can't have the entire world's population, or even a significant portion of it, living here. I think we've reached that point - the point where we cut back on immigration except for the very most extreme cases. And when I say extreme cases, I mean extreme cases. Economic considerations would not qualify. Those facing persecution or death in their home country would only be allowed to stay only as long as those threats exist, after which they must leave. To fill labor shortages here, we should retrain those already here. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |
