Is it time to stop immigration for a few years?

What are your feelings?

Who said that "limited government" is an "American principle"? Just because you think it is doesn't mean squat.

I'd be for a constitutional amendment that ties Immigration to unemployment...

Why do you suggest a constitutional amendment instead of passing a law?

It's in the Constitution. LITERALLY.

Just because you don't like it and haven't been able to completely demolish it doesn't mean squat.

But congratulations to your Progressive school system for completely hiding this from you and brainwashing you.

Did you EVER hear of the Bill of Rights? Or only when you want to ignore the 2nd Amendment?

Even Mr Obama has repeatedly complained that the Constitution is deficient because it fails to give Government enough POWER. But he cutely calls it "responsibilities".

Thank Goodness for those brilliant scholars who crafted the founding of our nation.

But it's not to late for you to study it and learn. I encourage you to do so.

Benjamin Franklin warned us. "It's a Republic. If you can manage to keep it."

I agree with this 2 year old post. This perverse obsession with giving foreign citizens low paying jobs instead of hiring Americans at a decent wage has to end. Immigration laws need to be enforced and businesses who illegally hire illegals need to be made to stop those practices.
