Not only should we allow more immigration, we should encourage it

Americans are reproducing at a rate less than replacing the population. Our Social Security funds require American workers.

Why America is stronger than Japan is immigration. China is also in a position in which their population is aging and their reproduction rates have fallen.

Just as every American generation has relied on its immigration population for economic and military security, this generation is no different.

Legal, illegal, follow the rules or not, we need immigrants in this country in order to be stronger.

Trump and the Republicans are a throw back to the "No Nothing Party". I know that the Trump Administration rejects science and history. At least they should try to understand math.

This isn't about jobs, it isn't about crime, it isn't even about straining of social services. This is about racism, plain and simple.
