All Immigration breeds excellence. Serious replies only.?

Question

I feel that all immigration breeds competition which in turn leads to excellence.

Answer 1

Of course. Any time you have new people with new ideas, new ways of doing things, or or unique ways of looking at things...you have an increase in innovation and success.

Answer 2

In some cases. Current immigrants, including hispanics have done well for themselves by and large. Many Americans, especially those on welfare don't have a clue to succeed. The Democrats have been giving them peanuts for votes the past three generations or more.
Our country is made of immigrants. You have to work hard to get ahead, especially when you arrive here. Once people get established, they get comfortable and lazy. Middle class corporate clowns are a prime example of this. Get a college education so you can kiss butt in a mediocre corporate job, thats not me.
But lets not confuse LEGAL immigration with ILLEGAL immigration. The US lets in over 1 million legal immigrants each year. Illegal immigrants are lawbreakers and should not be here. If you take a hooker to a fleabag motel, you have to show an ID. But you can waltz across the border and we don't know who you are. Are you a criminal, a pediophile, a terrorist. Do you have any diseases?
My wife is an immigrant from Asia. I had to pay 5 grand to process her here legally. But others can just sneak across?
Many immigrants add to the texture of our country, but that does not justify or give them a right to enter illegaly
In closing. It is incorrect to say ALL immigration leads to excellence. 10% of our prison population are illegal aliens. Is that excellence?

Answer 3

You sound like a serious person, everyone or most people in this country are from Immigrant families including myself, but as you and I know it is all in the way the immigration is handeled by the individual immigrant that has come here, I know people that have come here worked their butts off and have a great life and that is what AMERICA is all about giving you an opportunity to reach your wildest dreams, but what IS hurting our country is the people that are coming here without that attitude and this group of people is getting so large it is HURTING our country, it is literally closing hospitals, crippeling the welfare system, so that people who really need it are unable to receive help, the poverty level has become so low in some areas that the middle class AMERICAN can not get that extra help when needed. People do not need Food Stamps and MediCal for their childs birth to 5 years, because it does not take 5 years for the parent (usually MOTHER) to learn ENGLISH and get a job. But many minority people in this country and not just hispanic REALLY believe in their heart that AMERICA is overflowing with money and can afford to help them out, and that is not it we are trying to help out AMERICANS when they are down, but too many are refusing to help themselves. President Kennedy said something that we really should take to heart, all people currently standing on AMERICAN soil (Ask not what your COUNTRY can do for you , BUT what YOU can do for your COUNTRY) if people would start thinking like this again we would see a change.

Answer 4

You have a point to a degree. But No not "all " immigration breeds excellence. History would show that not to be true in many places.

Answer 5

I think that Immigration is a positive thing,
Yes we all know somebody who has immigrated, whether it be themselves, their families, or your friends.
But immigration is NOT about competition, You are going to live in the place you have emigrated too, you and your race do not compete with the place you are living.. You hold respect for where you are living & you treat your life as a privillege.

Illegal immigration breeds nothing of excellence, It breeds more anchor children, Social problems, Language barriers, racial tension etc etc and more problems for legal citizens.

Answer 6

Not all competition leads to excellence.Especially when it comes to limited resources.It leads to the basic survival of the fittest.
If that's what you mean by excellence then your right.

Answer 7

Questionable but it's inevitable there shall always be competition, survival of the fittest . Illegal immigrants are smart people , they exploit the fact that for the same jobs the United States pays more and they find ingenious ways to sneek into it .Terrorists could learn a thing or two.

Answer 8

well good then the americans come from immigrants of the past. so that makes us super excellence then.

Answer 9

I'll agree that legal immigration does lead to prosperity. However, illegal immigration leads to behavior of suppression, abuse and mistrust.

Answer 10

I agree......

Excellent growth of criminal gangs.
Excellent at making good neighborhoods into trashy neighborhoods.
Excellent in requiring translators for Mexicans who are too lazy to learn English.
Excellent growth of unlicensed uninsured drivers.
Excellence in increase of teenage pregnancy.
Excellence in increase of school dropout rates.
Excellence in overpopulation.
Excellence in ruining America.

Answer 11

I disagree. Specifically I think illegal or mass immigration of poor people who cannot pay taxes sufficient to cover education for their families and other services ruins our schools and services for our own people.
