Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1907 regarding immigration to Canada. 100+ years later, this should still apply to ALL immigrants to this great country.

And to the US of A as well.....

But we didn't and let the genie out of the bottle. The issue now is how to get him back in....and building walls is not the answer.

yep...the flood gates are open....how do we as a country turn back our past decisions?...just do an about face?...unfortunately there is not enough tough people to withstand the liberal causes...to would take a very major purge and that is unlikely to happen...I think America tried to be too many things, to too many races and cultures and this is the result.....a fragmented society.

Nope its because they have taken religion and the pledge of our country out of schools
Along with that pine paddle with holes in it that stung like hell

Once, not so long ago it was assimilation and this country was a melting pot. Now its celebrate diversity. Divide and concur.

It's time to stop worrying if someone is offended. It's time to stop compromising for immigrants convenience. It's time to require language proficiency prior to admission to the nation. It's time to do what's right not what's left.

Language just as a minimum. We have several special interest groups that think illegals should have the right to vote. Basically the dumbest thing I have ever heard yet we have politicians that think this is a grand idea.

That is exactly why.

I don't agree with the language skills part......Our first immigrants never spoke English but learned when they got here...think all them millions of Italians, Greek, and so forth....this is a country built by immigrants that wanted a different way of life......and now there are many that want to bring that way over here instead of leaving it behind....
2 great wars brought all these different cultures together for a common goal and for awhile solidified this country.....now over time again the whole idea of what this country is about is getting lost....its sad to think another great war is needed to bond the people back again.....IMO

There's a difference between 13% full and 117% full. Standards and requirements can and should be much stricter for the latter than the former.

I needed a sponsor of good character a US citizen to guarantee me for 5 years.....and wasn't allowed to collect welfare, sponsor was responsible for me...any kind of offense I could, and still can be deported....Since i am so to speak still a guest here, I don't expect or should I be extended any rights besides common decency, that comes with citizenship...
