Question

Should the US increase, decrease, or maintain the current rate of immigration to the United States?

Answer 1

DECREASE until we get the illegal alien crisis taken care of! We can afford any more! We can't take care of the whole world.

BTW, this is NOT a racist issue. This is a legal issue. It doesn't matter where the illegal alien criminal comes from. If the illegal is from Canada, England or Peru - if they are here illegally, they should not be here! They are breaking the law!

Americans must come first!!!!

Answer 2

I think the solution is to control it. Decrease it but without mistreating anyone who is merely seeking a better life.
The US should legalize the current immigrants that can show proof of being of good moral hold a clean criminal record.

Another thing that would be very beneficial is the creation of a Temporary Protection Status program for those who come from unprivileged countries and wish to come and work in the US for a short period of time or season legally. That way they won't try to enter the country illegally and will not try to stay in the country illegally either. This way the US will be seen as a country that wants to help 3rd world countries while also controlling the immigration rate in the country.

Answer 3

The world is overpopulated enough as it is. If the government makes 'noise' about this topic then people will probably start worrying about the decline their 'people's, which will likely result in the fertility rate rising. More babies will mean more population and that will result in so many more problems than just an increase in demand for immigration. With a higher population there is less food, water and shelter available for everyone. The earth's water supply is declining enough as it is, and developed countries such as the UK are the ones who use up a large percentage of that water. So, you can imagine what would happen if the population just keeps growing and growing. There will not be enough water or enough housing. The government will have to start worrying about that. What's worse is that the demand for immigration will probably not be affected by the rise in fertility rates. People usually immigrate to more developed countries for a hope of a better life, not because they know there are not enough people to fill in jobs. If anything there should be a decline in fertility rates world-wide, not just in the UK.

Answer 4

Over the years it's been amillion, during Clinton it was raised to 2.5 million a year, Bush dropped it to 1.25 million and now at 1 million per CNN the other day. We have about 9 million people come here every year on a visa. once the visa expires they are suppose to leave, but how many do yo think did not leave and hide out in 2005*, over 3 million and the number keeps growing. Then on the southern border 1 in 7 caught is fro a terror sponsoring country.

So you got almost triple by the former guys and we should drop it back to .5 million or less and cut the visas by 70% and it the people jump the visa and hide, then throw them in jail. Do you realize that that 3 million a year on visas are from all over the world and we don't know where they are. So that's 3, 1 and probably 2-3 illegals coming in for the amnesty and that's 6-7 million and the country cannot handle it. If Clinton had left immigration at 1 million it might be different, but that did not happen, he brought in 20 million, so we have to cut it.

Theoretically we should deport about 500,000 for the next ten years. take care. We need to take cre of the people we have now, then bring in others.

Answer 5

This forum has greatly altered my opinion of immigration. The lack of appreciation of the US accepting immigrants is appalling. Currently, a million plus are allowed in and that is a source of contention.

I now believe that only spouses taken by American citizens and persons with skills in short supply should be allowed in. Nothing else.

You want to come to the US - get a PhD.

Answer 6

I Think it Is Good That All The Immigrants Stay Because They Are Doing The Jobs That Some Lazy *** FUT@# Fu@!%$# Don't Whant To Do And They Work Their AS@ Off To Have A Better Life And Don't Hurt No One:}

Answer 7

We should maintain the current level of LEGAL immigration. Immigration is good for the country. But, only when done legally.

Answer 8

Reduce legal immigration 2 to 3 times
Keep all current legals

Completely cut down illegal immigration
Return all or most of all illegals (8-12M people self or forced deportations)

Answer 9

Decrease for the time being.

We need to first get rid of most of the illegal immigrants and let our economy reach it's natural equilibrium again.

Once we've done that, we can determine how many immigrants we can accept each year (legally) and from what sectors (agriculture, medicine, sciences, skilled labor, finance, etc.).

Answer 10

Decrease! We have tens of millions of legal aliens and 20 to 38 million illegal aliens in our country. Many of them are potential traitors, terrorists, or criminals. We need to slow down immigration to about 250,000 a year, deport the illegal aliens by enforcement through attrition, and get a better quality of legal immigrants by limiting chain immigration.

We are at war with radical Islamists in a struggle that may last for hundreds of years. We should be very careful who we allow into our country. When the Iraq war is over, Al Qaeda will concentrate its efforts on killing Americans in the Homeland.
