Immigration is the best thing going for this country. People were making the same complaints about Germans 300 years ago, Irish 200 years ago, Italians 100 years ago, and Asians 50 years ago. The U.S. needs an open border policy. People want better lives and opportunities, and that's a great thing. No one chose where they were born, so I'm sick of the self-righteous racist and xenophobic attitude of most so-called "Americans." Actually immigrants are more patriotic than most of us. They come here because of the ideals the U.S. represents and for the liberties guaranteed in the Constitution while most "Americans" want those same rights destroyed. Immigrants are the ones running who truly run this country, yet they get no respect or appreciation for their hard work, courage, and sacrifice.
