I am not anti-immigrant, I am pro-smart-immigration.
Instead of bringing people here that will work, milk the country and leave, it would be better to use the immigrants first in the army/navy/etc while they learn the language and prove themselves. There would not be Greencards anymore... people could still come here on special visas to work, but if they wanted to stay (meaning, become residents) they would have to quit their job and join the military like everybody else and work in their profession (or some other) while in the military.
But then again, I also said that someone should not be considered a citizen just because they were born in here.
Imagine someone here on work for 12months... they come, get their wives pregnant, they have the baby, they leave back to their country and their children are american... It does not make sense and it is a security issue later when this kid is 18 y/o and has an american passport but knows nothing of american culture or does not identify with american culture at all.
My way, it doesn't matter where you are born, you serve the military first. It doesn't matter if your family has been in the states for 2000 years, and you were born and raised here and never left, you need to serve the military first, THEN you become a citizen.
And for immigrants, its easy. If they come and serve, and learn all they have to learn and master the language plus a skill at the military (or if they already have one that they use while in the military, like engineering, computer programming, medicine, etc) then this individual could potentially apply to citizenship.
So as you can see, I am very much pro-immigration. |
