Immigrants Already Here Not the Problem
Good piece by columnist Maggie Galagher on the immigration/border debate. An excerpt:
“Don’t call me anti-immigration. Count me among the 17 percent of Americans in the new Pew poll who say they’d support raising the legal immigration quotas. I’m also vigorously opposed to any law that criminalizes charity for people who need food, clothing or medical care. But I do want one thing from Congress: Come up with a plan to secure our borders. What about the 12 million people already here? As far as I can tell, they are not a crisis. Certainly the pro-immigration lobby says these people are good for the economy, so why the urgency about documenting them?”
Galagher cites poll numbers which show the American people are conflicted on this hot issue. See the whole piece: “Politicians Ought to Start at the Border to Fix Immigration.”
