and for the sake of argument, please tell us all how YOU would feel if you were one of those hard-working, law-abiding, good mannered people trying to come to the US for better oppurtunities and yet you are denied entry because of your skin color or  country of birth.

I'm denied legal citizenship and residency in most countries, it's fine. Where did you come up with the notion that all 8 billion humans are entitled to first world opportunities?  That's ridiculous.

The US had always used discriminatory forms of immigration to meet the needs for the labor market, we don't have the problem today. The US hasn't seen real wage growth for the bottom 80% in over 30 years, we don't want more people flooding into the labor market to dilute wages and undercut US citizens.

If the US wants any immigrants, if should be legal and from countries that are very similar to the US, not third world economic migrants with no education, skills, money or language ability.

What's worse for US wages?  Hiring illegals in the US, or moving jobs overseas to 3rd world countries?

open borders? you mean the way it was when Europeans flooded the eastern coast throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. now all of these European descendants are crying about open borders being an issue. what a load of hypocritical bullcrap. it sickens me. and people talk about immigrants as if they are bad. they are humans like us, no less and no more. the US prides itself on being such an opportunistic place that calls to people from all over EARTH to come here and prosper.  its ridiculous.. the ignorant bullshit is riding a high tide as of late.

I can't handle comments like this. Do you use your brain at all? That was hundreds of years ago! You're probably one of those people that still brings up slavery and female rights as if those problems still exist in the United states.

Yes we'll get a rough ride in the transitional period but, we'll make it.
