@kausmickey You support an immigration freeze, right?
@kausmickey Maybe I’m wrong in ascribing that belief to you, but that was my impression.
@kausmickey @freddoso because you are white
@kausmickey they hope 2 obfuscate that point. In fact,1st thing nations should decide on is the number…it should be abt 1/10000th pop
@kausmickey it stops DEMOCRATS… from getting more votes without earning them… like bernie garnering votes by promising free stuff.
@murphylinn @kausmickey @freddoso that’s racist – no because pourous borders have overwhelmed the system idiot. You cannot take everyone.
@kausmickey @freddoso well, you’re white and you think the status quo on immigration is not ideal.
@kausmickey that’s the official number plus family retrievals, illegals, AND Honduran etc. “temp protected status” that no one knows about.
@kausmickey And that 2 million isn’t an accurate number. Look at VISA overstays and border crossing. I think 5-8 million plus accurate.
@kausmickey actually, this better, call @freddoso “Longshanks Americans”
Problem w the USA is it’s full of mericans

@freddoso @kausmickey Per Easterbrook 2001, the USA has accepted more immigrants than all the other nations of the world put together.
@freddoso @kausmickey Historically, immigration was done in spurts with pauses for assimilation. What is wrong with that approach?
@Cridmo @kausmickey Yes, & some people have a huge problem with that. We call them nativists — ie, this country is for those born here
@kausmickey @freddoso Why is a freeze nativism? If there are big problems with the status quo, there SHOULD be a freeze until fixed
@kausmickey @genophilia @freddoso CALL IT RACIST GINGOISM…we don’t care what you call it. 6YR MORATORIUM ON IMPORTING New Democrats
@kausmickey @genophilia @freddoso. How about fiscal responsibility?

@kausmickey @freddoso Dont give damn what you call it…but if you like other cultures better, then go there,Dont bring it here. We have one
@kausmickey Need complete halt to all immigration, especially familial, which do not add. Need 20 yrs to assimilate what here now.
@kausmickey We need to STOP immigration for at least 5 years or until we get a grip on the State of our Union.
@kausmickey @freddoso Why is being a nativist bad? I like living in the USA better than I would Mexico. Wouldn’t you, Davd?
@kausmickey where does this “2 million” figure come from? My biggest frustration is that there is no canonical source of this info AFAIK
