I am going to take a break from my normal topics to discuss one that is a passionate one for most people in America. Immigration.
My family is a bunch of immigrants. Not first generation but in the last few. My ancestors came to America because it was the land of opportunity. Pretty much everyone who lives in America does so because their ancestors immigrated here. I am pretty sure all of them came here for the opportunities also.
America is a great country to live in and we should embrace that. People want to come here and build their lives and families. We need to make immigrating to America better so that we can bring in the best and brightest minds from around the world and have them want to live here.
When it comes down to it, who wants to live in a country that no one wants to immigrate to?
A great article on why immigration is a necessary part of American dominance and culture is here.
