Needless to say, I disagree. I happened to be reading your comments yesterday, which was Holocaust memorial day. I was thinking about how during the early part of the Holocaust, thousands of Jewish immigrants were turned away from the U.S. and sent back to nazi-Europe because public opinion was widely opposed to them settling the in the U.S.

The United States is a country... not a refugee camp. I feel bad for homeless people too, but i generally don't let too many live in my house (at least not lately). On many levels, immigrants who come over to work hard at shitty jobs for a better way of life seems harmless enough. But, if we're going to give people membership to this country, why the hell should we scrape the bottom of the barrel... There are plenty of educated people we can bring over who might make a noticeable improvement to this country. In a melting pot, you don't necessarily want to add too much soft metal.
