Immigrants Or Not.

       There's no question we're between a rock and a hard place on immigration. If we're not very careful about who we allow to come to America, we run the risk of allowing a terrorist in. Of course there's lots of ways for them to sneak in anyway, but there is that risk. And you only have to look at Europe to see what happens when you overload the system of checks.
       On the other hand if America cuts back on immigration, it eliminates most of the innovation and job growth that only immigrants create. That's right, Americans who have lived here for more than one or two generations simply don't have the, well whatever it takes to start businesses. But new people to this country seem to have the fire in the belly to create jobs. And that is what saves our economy.
       So ya see, there's no easy answer. But I can tell ya that we tried isolationism once before and it was devastating. It cost us a second world war. If you don't pay attention to history, you are bound to repeat it. So let's be more careful about our immigration policy, let's let more immigrants in and let's welcome them with open arms. We need those jobs they create.
       Our president doesn't seem to share this philosophy but then he doesn't share much of what the majority of Americans think or want. Oh he talks about doing things we want, but then he fails to deliver or even try to deliver on them. He proposes phony legislation, has big signing photo opts with him signing a proposal and calls it his legislative achievement, but its just a proposal and ,most likely has no chance of becoming law. It's a little like slight of hand. It's there but it isn't there.
