Non sequitur.
Have a comment regarding the OP? Or, any suggestion about what the US should on the issue of immigration?
Deport you back to where you came from, along with all your foreigner kind.
Another non sequitur.
I'm from the U.S. and I live in the U.S.
It's "removal" not "deportation." Hasn't been "deportation" for about 15 years.
Once again, it's not about "foreigners" per se. More "foreigners" immigrate to the US and come here as non-immigrants than any other country in the world. There is not a shred of evidence the US is hostile to or rejects "foreigners."
A record 1,046,539 persons were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 2008 -- The leading countries of birth of the new citizens were Mexico, India and the Philippines - so you can rest assured, there wasn't a preference for whites.
As of 2006, the United States accepts more legal immigrants as permanent residents than any other country in the world. In 2006, a total of 1,266,264 immigrants became legal permanent residents of the United States, up from 601,516 in 1987, 849,807 in 2000, and 1,122,373 in 2005. The top twelve migrant-sending countries in 2006, by country of birth, were Mexico (173,753), People's Republic of China (87,345), Philippines (74,607), India (61,369), Cuba (45,614), Colombia (43,151), Dominican Republic (38,069), El Salvador (31,783), Vietnam (30,695), Jamaica (24,976), South Korea (24,386), Guatemala (24,146), Other countries - 606,370. Once again, doesn't look too "hostile" to the "third world" now does it?
Since 1965 the number of first- generation immigrants living in the United States has quadrupled.

Once again, do you have anything to say about the subject? Or, just more off topic non sequiturs and derails?
