How can you take care of anybody else when you cannot take care of yourselves?
Our economy is precarious. The Congressional Budget Office is issuing dour warnings about our burgeoning national debt. We have a huge homeless problem, unemployment and underemployment, divisiveness, racial tensions, the advent of terrorism... the list goes on. The point being... those coming to our country are largely unemployed and certainly unassimilated. Some of them are criminals, some of them are terrorists and the rest are indeed looking for a better way of life.
With immigration comes the headaches... more unemployment, healthcare, social security, education, housing... How can we address these issues for immigrants when we are failing at addressing them for ourselves?
I'm not saying that we need to refuse to allow anyone else into the country forever. I'm saying we need a temporary halt of up to ten years... whatever it takes... in order for us to resolve some of these major issues that exist within our borders right now. What rational sense does it make to simply transplant people with problems from another nation with problems to our nation with problems?
We need to draw a deep breath, examine and maybe redefine our immigration policies, provide for the national security and to put our internal affairs on a better footing before we totally drown ourselves and lose what America we have remaining.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
