The whole reason for the large number of illegal entries is because of how strict the process already is. The more difficult you make it, the more people will enter through unofficial means.
Immigrants commit less crime than American citizens do, and they contribute more to the economy than they take out. They are objectively a net benefit for society. At some point the anti immigration crowd have to admit that their position isn't about what's objectively best for the country, it's just about racism and hating people with a different skin color and culture. That's it.
Hey @Lucas1980 <45><Lmaoo>
Isn't it so crazy how objective reality exists?! And you can easily access data to that objective reality?! Isn't that INSANE bro???
I have no doubt that the process of legal immigration is strict - I think we can all agree that it should be.
But the process of illegally coming and then staying is not strict enough. Many think that needs to be tightened up. I think that is the point.
I also agree that the vast majority of immigrants are normal, hardworking people just wanting to better their lives. I personally have no qualms with that at all. I want this country to have all of the legal immigrants - don't care where they are from. I know that is not always a speedy process for the person or family just wanting a better life - but countries have borders and a legal process for a reason. They should be respected.
