    Immigration is one of our country’s core strengths. Don’t you remember that “melting pot” stuff from civics class?

    Immigrants are a net positive for the economy, and for our country, so I don’t have a problem taking in as many that come. When immigrants come here, they bring their businesses with them and/or start new ones. And I like that.

      You can still screw up a melting pot by putting in the wrong stuff. Especially if you put in a lot of the wrong stuff.

        That’s effectively what people said about every single group in the U.S.

        Catholics, italians, protestants, irish, etc. Doesn’t matter, there will always be somebody around to be a bigot against some group. In the end it’s dumb because the melting pot is too big to really be effected. Even at 2m/year that’s a 0.6% change a year. Big whoop.
