The problem with much of the debate over this issue is that we confuse two separate matters: immigration policy (how many people we admit) and immigrant policy (how we treat people who are already here).

It would enable us to be faithful and wise stewards of America's interests while also showing immigrants the respect they deserve as future Americans.

the table of elements does not contain one of the most powerful elements that make up our world, and that is the element of surprise.
We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.
