Legal immigration is far worse for this country than illegal immigration.

If you say theres nothing wrong with it, you also have to acknowledge theres really nothing "right" with it either. My own family has immigrants (none on the public dole of course) but I still recognize it as charity, not a right. No one should feel any obligation to support legal immigration.

There are only 3 groups who benefit from immigration, legal or otherwise. First is the immigrant themself who has just improved their ability to make money and enjoy life. Second are companies whom can exploit the cheap labor who also doesn't know their rights, or have an understanding of the work ethics of the local culture, thus accepting and being honored by things that no other worker would tolerate. Third are groups like the Demoncrats who exploit the slaves ignorance, shoving them full of support and nice words, hoping they'll vote for them in the future.

Beyond these 3 groups nobody else benefits from immigration, infact their lives are negatively impacted. This is true for the people of both the source country, and the host country. There are only 2 forms of immigration I support at all. Marriage, because I'm a hopeless romantic and think spouses should be able to immigrate to be together. The second is refugees, but only VERY carefully vetted refugees, who are compatible of our cultural beliefs, and under the requirement that when the crisis in their homeland is complete, they must return home.
