Are we turning away bright minds from other foreign countries to compensate for illegal immigration?

Question

I mean are we limiting the number of visas we give out?

Answer 1

Yes, we're too crowded now because of the illegal population that has swelled from 5-20+ billion since the year 2000.

We used to gain doctors, nurses, scientists, educators, writers, artists, and engineers through the immigration process. Immigrants were happy to learn the language and customs of their adopted country. They were proud to become citizens.

Now we have a nation of unskilled labor who can build stone walls who hate us except for our money. Is this the future of the US?

It's time to start locking down our country. We can't take care of our own let alone the throngs of uneducated criiminals who sneak over the border.

I am tired of higher taxes at the expense of over crowded schools, hospitals, an increase in car insurance costs because of drunk drivers who are uninsured, a higher crime rate because of drug traffiking and crimes of the heart. I am so sick of weekend volleyball games that last two days and clog residential streets.

Illegals take a lot from the country and give nothing back. The are not loyal to the US and refuse to learn English. They are arrogant and expect us to bend the rules even though they came here and broke our immigration laws.

I am tired of the press who are sympathetic to these invaders.

Have you forgotten about the victims of Katrina who are still living in trailers? Where is the sympathy for them?

What about the homeless? The disabled? The elderly? The mentally ill? Shouldn't we care about their plight?

I am tired of the liberal politicians who want to feel good about their idiotic proposals and pro illegal sympathies at the expense of lawbiding citizens and legal immigrants.

If someone wants to become a US citizen, stand in line and wait your turn for the legal process to begin. Don't sneak in under the cover of darkness to work here, not pay any taxes, use our services for free, and have the gall to demand the rights of lawful citizens so you can send your money out of the USA.

I will not vote for any politician who wants to further the gain of the illegals at my expense as a taxpayer.

Just say no!

Answer 2

That prospect is only one of the many detrimental effects of the onslaught.
The BIG question is why our distinguished representatives from both sides of the isle are failing to enforce the laws, and, in doing so, are literally bankrupting public health departments and hospitals that provide emergency services.
Emergency services are NOT primary health care facilities for illegal aliens - at least that wasn't the original intent.

Answer 3

it does no longer be occurring if that fool Kennedy could have invaded Cuba, hanged fidel, and each and all the comunists to boot. To make issues extra exciting, no president has invaded Cuba the two If we are coming right here, it is your fault for no longer doing what you could could stonecol: it is captivating to work out how some people make comparisons that have no longer something in uncomplicated. you have stated no longer something concerning what I wrote. you have have been given suggested somewhat how the interior reach individuals lived till now the British got here. it could make a similar experience ( or loss of ) yet another element. no longer concerning this section, yet we are able to upload the certainty that fidel has achieved the u . s . a . each and all the wear and tear it ought to. Had no longer been because of the fact Gorbachev unwillingly pulverized comunism in Russia, fidel could be right this moment knocking on the doors of the White residing house and telling bush to conquer it, because of the fact it replaced into taking fee. thankfully for the u . s . a ., Gorbachev did their grimy artwork

Answer 4

No. Everywhere I go there are foreigners of all classes and educational levels. The smart ones come legally as exchange students. Most of the doctors and other professionals at the county hospitals are foreign students. I don't see this as a good thing by the way. But it's a fact.

Answer 5

I believe that we are turning away the bright young minds that we have within the United States in favor of cheap labor imported into this country.

Job growth over the last five years is the weakest on record. The US economy came up more than 7 million jobs short of keeping up with population growth. That's one good reason for controlling immigration. An economy that cannot keep up with population growth should not be boosting population with heavy rates of legal and illegal immigration.

In five years, the US economy only created 70,000 jobs in architecture and engineering, many of which are clerical. Little wonder engineering enrollments are shrinking. There are no jobs for graduates. The talk about engineering shortages is absolute ignorance. There are several hundred thousand American engineers who are unemployed and have been for years. No student wants a degree that is nothing but a ticket to a soup line. Many engineers have written to me that they cannot even get Wal-Mart jobs because their education makes them over-qualified.

Unless the Bureau of Labor Statistics is falsifying the data or businesses are reporting the opposite of the facts, the US is experiencing a job depression. Most economists refuse to acknowledge the facts, because they endorsed globalization. It was a win-win situation, they said.

They were wrong.

No sane economist can possibly maintain that a deplorable record of merely 1,054,000 net new private sector jobs over five years is an indication of a healthy economy. The total number of private sector jobs created over the five year period is 500,000 jobs less than one year's legal and illegal immigration! (In a December 2005 Center for Immigration Studies report based on the Census Bureau's March 2005 Current Population Survey, Steven Camarota writes that there were 7,9 million new immigrants between January 2000 and March 2005.)

On February 10 the Commerce Department released a record US trade deficit in goods and services for 2005--$726 billion. The US deficit in Advanced Technology Products reached a new high.

Offshore production for home markets and jobs outsourcing has made the US highly dependent on foreign provided goods and services, while simultaneously reducing the export capability of the US economy. It is possible that there might be no exchange rate at which the US can balance its trade.

Answer 6

Bright minds know to conduct a legal means of entry. Those who are denied are denied for failure to meet (a) requirement(s) for authorized entry. If my first wife, a former Peruana, can do it, so can these others.

Answer 7

Bright minds are always welcome in the US. There are avenues existing for these people to be embraced here. Intellectuals know how to find these legal routes. For persons who can't read or write it's way to difficult, unless they obtain a lawyer, which is usually too expensive for them.

Answer 8

Big business wants dumb cheap labor. If bright minds come here how will they exploit them?

Answer 9

it seems that way. and it's wrong. we need to close our borders down to illegals and start a mass deportation. this way legal immigrants can get in here.

Answer 10

No If they were really was smart they would get here the write way.
