Oh my gosh. There are too few jobs for Americans as it is due to outsourcing. The last thing we need is more immigrants. What is the eventual goal, to keep bringing in immigrants until every American worker becomes unemployed because immigrants work cheaper?
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightening, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
-Emma Lazarus, 1883
Do you feel that was only meant for your white, european ancestors? Oh my gosh, indeed.
