RE: Stopping Immigration

“….I notice that missing is any mention of putting a halt to immigration.” — Carter

I don’t think one has to stop immigration. Rather one needs to be more selective on who one allows to immigrate. And that could well entail {HORROR!} ‘profiling’.

There are other aspects of immigration that could be considered. For example, a common or ‘official’ language. You learn it or you go back to where you came from. The thought being along the lines of

You came here to become one of US. Therefore, become one of US or go back to where you came from.

I don’t think we need to halt immigration; there or here. We just need to be careful about who we let in. Those that do not intend to become part of US or are intent upon doing US ill, should not be allowed in. Or if allowed in and determined to be anathema to US, deported.
