And I would like Mexicans and Central Americans to enter the country legally too. I would like a lot of them to enter the country legally. At this point and under these conditions I think the right amount of immigrants to allow is as many who want to come as long as they don't have a good reason not to be allowed like having convicted of a violent crime.
Are you okay with more Hispanics entering the country as long as it's legal?
You can only have unlimited immigration if you limit public benefits.
I'm with you up to a point. I'm sure there's a number between 0 and everyone who wants to come that we can agree upon.
Bring'em all. Bring the Chinese, the Indians, the Pakistanis, whoever - the best and brightest though. Of course stop the H1-B visa abuses. This isn't the 1930s any more however. And no to the refugees, of course. I'm not complete opposed to helping out, but Europe is just a ****show at this point. Safe zones in the Middle East is the right approach - and somebody is going to be needed to rebuild those countries as well. I'm wary of Islam in general. Until reformers like Maajid, Aayan, and Imam Tawhidi (the Imam of Peace) gain more mainstream support to turn the tide of Islam's illiberal ideology, arms length here is best.
