you guys seem to be quiete xenophobic and i thought America is "the Land of opportunites and the Land of the free". I always admired it and wanted to visit the place
We take in more immigrants every year than all the other nations COMBINED. And that's just the legal immigrants. We don't have enough jobs for our own people and you want us to take in more? My job went to India several years ago, I wanted to go with it. I could live a lot better in India on $4.00 an hour than I could here on the less than $9.00 an hour I was making. You know what I was told? Those jobs were for THEIR citizens. We are the only country in the world the brings in people to take jobs away from our own citizens. It's time to stop until we have enough jobs for every American citizen who wants one to have one, then we can think about letting in other people to work with us. At the moment our opportunities are gone. They've been stolen by corporations who've sent them overseas and illegals who've taken them from us.
Outsourcing, Globalisation, Internationalisation is very complex Topic i cant discuss because i lack the inside and knowledge also a fact based opinion. It just sounds horrible what happened to you and what happens to other American Citizens when they loose their Jobs to Outsourcing etc.
I still think you are xenophobic and overexaggerate to strike fear of immigrants into the minds of americans.
My sister in law is from Thailand, my cousin in law is from Germany, my brother in law is black, I have another brother in law from Canada. Still think I'm xenophobic? I give out lunches to the homeless once a week, trust me, I don't over exaggerate. I have many, many friends out of work, most of them in their 50's. Too early to retire and too old to get new jobs, the same as me. Nobody in America is afraid of immigrants, we just have too many and it's time to close the borders until our economy gets better IF it gets better. When your house is full and there's not enough food to feed your family are you going to keep letting people move in?
I think it's time to bring immigration to a complete stop with exceptions only for family members of American citizens and people who marry American citizens. Back in the 70's Americans were encouraged to limit their birthrate. Right now Americans have children at less than replacement value but due to the massive immigration we keep growing. First and 2nd generation immigrants in this nation have an average of 7 and 1/2 kids per family, while American citizens have less than 2. Heck Mexicans in America have more children on average than Mexicans in Mexico. Without all those new people, low skilled workers would be in high demand in our country and the income gap wouldn't be anywhere close to what it is today. Immigration has ruined our economy and now many of them are going home where they will wait until our economy gets better and then come back and ruin it again, sending all their ill gotten gains back home to their own country, not even putting that money into OUR economy to keep OUR economy healthy.
BTW, you want to come here, find a sponsor and come, what's stopping you? My parents sponsored my brother and sister in laws, my aunt sponsored my cousin in law. My brother in law had a college degree and more than $40,000 in the bank back in 1979 and my parents still had to sponsor him.
Our friends from Hungary weren't allowed to come here and live legally and you want me to feel sorry for you? My brother tried for more than 20 years to get his mother in law here from Thailand and she died, never being able to see her grandkids in their own home and you want me to feel sorry for you?
