Mass Immigration - Who Does it Help?

[shrewsbury]

Who gets helped the most?

Under ideal circumstances it would help the immigrants and by these new citizens paying taxes and being productive members of society, everybody wins.

You're assuming assimilation or melting pot is better than a mosaic. Canada says otherwise.

Have you had mass immigration from the 3rd world? No

Canada is not what I am talking about.

No, racism and partisanship is. I'll leave you to it.

[tpeichel]

So it is racist to think it might not be best for our country to allow a massive influx of immigrants from the third world?

[Wickabee]

No. It's racist to think only blacks and Mexicans live there.

Who gets helped the most?

1) Democratic Party
2) Corporations

Who gets hurt the most?

1) Taxpayers
2) Low skilled/low income workers

The bigger problem is that mass immigration leads to self segregation rather than integration. You can already see it in the black and latino communities that have completely separate cultures. While there is no problem embracing your heritage, nations without a common and shared interest are doomed to conflict and eventual violence. In my lifetime, the country has never seemed more divided than right now and it's not just along political lines. I believe this Immigration Bill will make the current problems much worse and accelerate the looming conflict. I can't think of any examples where importing the third world on a mass scale to western civilizations has turned out positively. Can anyone else?

You are going to have to do a better job of explaining how it is racist to be against a policy that for the most part benefits foreigners, a political party, and big corporations.

You make 0 sense. On one hand you conservatives scream that corporations are people too and are in favor of big business then turn around and claim that illegal immigrants some how help those big business that you love so much. Sorry buddy but you can't have it both ways.
