Is it time for the US to reduce the number of “legal immigrants” entering our country?
Everyone proudly states that we are a “nation of immigrants” which is certainly true. There’s no doubt that we need immigrants in specialized fields like medicine as long as the AMA restricts the number of US students entering our medical schools. However, how many more legals do we need to open restaurants, convenience and liquor stores while overcrowding our infrastructure plus education and healthcare systems?
I don’t care what your politics is. Our immigration policy is being governed by large corporations. US citizens aren’t producing enough consumers(babies) so they tell our politicians to import them.
The US has one of the loosest immigration policies in the world. A couple from India in their 50s from India can immigrate, get a bank loan, open a liquor store, make some money and then get Social Security and Medicare for the rest of their lives.
That’s the great thing about America. It was founded by immigrants and that makes it a great country. Our founders came over here and started a nation with equal opportunity for all. I think that the immigration laws need to be restructured, but I don’t think it’s fair to limit immigration when that’s what it is founded on.
