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

@Burnley123 The answers cannot succeed if the question is flawed.

@Mamapolo2016 You see immigration as a problem (implied by your other responses). OK, then provide evidence. That's all I ask.

@Burnley123 I do NOT see immigration as a problem. I see ILLEGAL immigration as a big problem. I don’t care if they double or triple the annual quota.

I see inequality in how the laws are applied as a big problem. I see gaping holes in our national security as a big problem.

I believe if you don’t want immigrants beating you out of jobs, then you should become a better candidate and a better worker.

Why does nobody see that it is not only US citizens who are put at risk with this insane situation? It is the illegal immigrants themselves who are in extreme peril. Fix the damned laws so they are humane and embracing but don’t allow flouting of the law’s purpose, which is to protect all concerned as thoroughly as possible.

@Mamapolo2016 Can you please provide me with evidence for what you see?

@TotalMiss I know you are supporting me, but we can’t engage in discourse that way. I am aware that I will not be able to provide convincing evidence because the required weight of evidence is not there. The same is true in reverse.

The truth lies somewhere in between and the only way we can get to that truth is listening to each other. Wobbly and uncertain as the conversation may be, it’s a start.

My purpose here is not to persuade, but to introduce the possibility that a dissenting opinion doesn’t demonstrate evil intent. I don’t want to eat illegal immigrants. I don’t even want to prevent their entry into the US. I only want for us to find some sane and humane solution that ignores neither the rights of current citizens nor those of future citizens.

I think we SHOULD find a way to admit asylum seekers. Surely history has taught us that. A system should be developed, and fast, to do that while maintaining security for the nation we all want to share.

We need either both parties or no party to do that properly. We need to be able to talk.

@TotalMiss Perfectly legitimate. I have no issue with different opinions. And thank you for your kind support.
