Do you have evidence to say that immigration damages your country?

@badminton well said!

@TotalMiss seems to be happening in America.

You don't have to look far to find hatred of immigrants.

We are almost all immigrants, its just that our ancestors came here 3, 4 or 5 generations ago. For many of us, our people came over to American on steamships, 100-150 or so years ago seeking a new life, escaping poverty, dictatorship, intolerance, religious persecution, war. Now, in the 21st century, some new groups of people are doing the same thing.

FYI for us older folks, young immigrants working jobs are paying into social security, which we will benefit from.

Remember "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"? Its on the Statue of Liberty. Many of our ancestors saw that statue, coming into New York on a ship, going to Ellis Island, to later become citizens. If you're an O'Sullivan, a Murphy, an Olson, an Anderson, a Marco, a Wong, a Kim, etc, your ancestors were on those steamships. New immigrants coming, in -- they are us, 100-150 years ago.

I am sensible however, so I'm in favor of background checks on immigrants. That is a reasonable precaution. And we could set a limit on how many immigrants. But let's think and feel before we hate.

@badminton
I think some Trumpsters think that the Statue of Liberty has a clear liberal bias, like reality.
