Legal Immigration?

Question

I agree with legal immigration, but there are some questions/issues with it that I don't know the answer to...

1.) How much can a land support? Will the U.S. eventually turn into a third world country?

2.) More immigrants means more oppurtunity for drug dealers, terrorists, and other criminals...

3.) Immigrants consume a high amount of government resources...

4.) Less-skilled americans are losing jobs to the immigrants...

Any ideas or answers would be appreciated...

Answer 1

Technically this isn't a question...

Answer 2

1. No. In terms of legal immigration, there are quotas and limits to allowed immigration and this alone really won't have an impact enough to drive the U.S. into that level of economic downturn. This threat might come more from illegal immigration, but it cannot affect society to a point that it reverts the U.S. to third world status.

2.Again, to a small extent, but less likely. The more people allowed in legally dows increase the chance of terrorism, drugs, etc. But Anyone going through the process is vetted, and to gain full citizen status is pretty hard for terrost suspects or anyone with drug history.

3. Yes and no. Most of this problem stems from illegal immigration as opposed to legal migrants. Legal immigrants are introduced fully and are part of the tax base. In the sese that they pay into the system and are therefore free to use it. In theory, illegal migrants should not have access to most state welfare and medical programs save emergency care. This is so poorly handled and secured, however, that it does cost the government, state and federal, a great deal of money.

4. Yes, but not really. This is again an issue more of illegal immigration than legal. Illegal immigrants are more popular for work because they can be paid less and cannot unionize, etc. The real problem here lies in a lack of crackdown on employers who utilize migrant workers illegally.
