I dont know of anyone that wants to totally stop immigration. I want more immigration because we need these good hard working future Americans to support Social Security with their taxes.
But illegal labor doesnt pay into the tax system, typically as it is usually cash only and unreported.
And I dont think we need to let in people from Muslim countries until we can adequately vet them and until our job market can absorb them without displacing Americans. Right now we have 300,000 homeless veterans and millions of workers who have given up finding a job.
What is the harm in pausing immigration til we can absorb the new citizens more efficiently without undercutting American wages?
So how many Americans have to die in terrorist attacks before YOU feel we need to pause immigration for a little bit, till ISIS is controlled?
