Immigration is good for America.

They play a crucial role in our economy. With a diminishing desire for parenthood, welcoming immigrants is necessary to counter population stagnation. Had they come from Europe and resembled Donald Trump, Republicans might not object.

The only credible argument coming from the right is: they're coming in illegally. If that's the case then make it easier for people to come here. There is an international asylum law. The United States is actually breaking the law by making it so hard for people to come here seeking asylum. That is why they are assigned lawyers who argue in court for them; they have the legal right to come here to seek asylum.

We should embrace as many immigrants as possible. A significant portion of them hold conservative values. They have strong work ethics and hold deep appreciation for America. They are simply seeking a better future.

The laws are there for a reason but unfortunately those in charge are ignoring them ....

@sladejr Perhaps a diamond in the rough or two?

Personally, I see arguments "on both sides" but tend to think that immigration reform is a difficult issue and that the solution is neither open borders, or closing them off completely.

On this point, at least at times, even Herr Trump and I agree, although we seem to differ on the details of how to determine who is a good or desirable immigrant.

There is a huge difference between a visa visit and being a full time resident much less a citizen. @Justice4All
